Anyone know why the gay community is not in an uproar over Ambassador Stevens death?

Are the gay community in an uproar at the death of every single gay person?

Anyone know why Belle is asking such idiotic questions?

If Obama gave the order for everyone to do everything they could to provide assistance in Benghazi, then who disobeyed that order and instead issued the stand down order? Who overrode the command of the Commander in Chief? Don’t ya think he would be rather intent on finding this out, like, yesterday? Especially if Obama “isn’t to blame”, but an insubordinate underling is?

So who disobeyed Obama? Why are they not facing court-marital? How long would it take to find that out, with his reputation on the line?

This post is a good example of how completely unhinged Hot Air readers have become over this fake scandal.

There was no stand down order. A response team left the annex building 24 minutes after the attack began to rescue the people from the “consulate” building, and a second rapid response team was flown in from Tripoli to evacuate everyone at the annex. Glenn Doherty was a member of the team that flew in from Tripoli, so it would be a bit hard for him to end up dead at the annex building if he’d been told to stand down, yeah? Or are you suggesting he ran from Tripoli to Benghazi?

You clowns have been hoodwinked by Fox News who wanted to stir up as much Obama resentment as they could before the election.

Stop watching Sean Hannity.

Because the MSM won’t/wouldn’t cover it, if it did/already has happened? Who wudda thought that might be the case……with our MSM?

Making this fight about Rice, is downright stupid. She does not have the authority or role of creating policy or position on this issue.

There is a reason Obama talked about her being the easy target, they are loving the “Rice Fight”, just really poorly played by McCain/Graham. They completely took their eye off the real issue and are starting to look silly.

another fake scandal bites the dust.

yawn.

So there really aren’t four dead Americans. It was all a right-wing production. That’s awesome! Care to tell their families the good news?

it’s disappearing in front of your eyes. you’re chasing a mirage.

Great questions which undoubtedly (like Fast and Furious) will go unanswered as the WH continues to get Congress and the American people to chase rabbits such as Petraeus’ affair, General Allen’s relationship, who changed what, why Broadwell was Petraeus’ biographer, Susan Rice, and whatever else they can dig up to be chased.

This is all disgusting but exactly the way the Owe admin played Fast and Furious (which seems to have fallen by the way side as intended).

Why make it about an obscure video? The demo in Cairo was to free the Blind Sheik. His relatives were there. It was apparently preplanned and there was at least one huge Blind Sheik banner hanging the area captured for TV, so why the video apology from the Embassy? Why was the Blind Sheik rarely if ever mentioned by admin officials? In Benghazi, the ambassador had conveyed that he expected trouble and wanted more protection. In fact,there already had been lots of trouble, before and after some stupid video. The Red Cross had packed up and left because they’d been attacked. Was that the video? The British had packed up and left because they’d been attacked. Was that the video? Other Western presences had gone for similar reasons. Benghazi was a known terrorist bed, even though many locals apparently also respected and were friendly towards the US ambassador. Bringing up the video and apologizing for freedom of speech, putting the vid maker in jail. Really? Why? Why make it about the vid? Why go to the UN and declare that “the future does not belong to those who slander the prophet of Islam?” With the vid stuff, was our admin still trying to make some low profile, we respect your culture and religion point? Why not the truth to the American people? Are they afraid we can’t handle the truth?

Here’s what Larry Johnson (No Quarter) about the DNI ‘background’ leak to CBS:

. . . The explanation out of the DNI’s office is total horseshit. The “intel community” does not make changes. There is a manager or an analyst who physically typed the words. If that was done in the DNI office then they will know who did it. These people need to be put under oath.

But don’t get distracted by this nonsense. Obama and his entire National Security team knew the night of 9-11 that the United States had been hit by a group tied to Al Qaeda. No doubt about that. They wanted to cover up their covert op that was shipping weapons to jihadists in Syria and did not want to disrupt Obama’s meme about having Al Qaeda on the run. [my emphasis]

We need a Select Committee to get to the bottom of all this, but it won’t happen unless a whistle blower from inside the White House forces Harry Reid’s hand.

To a large degree that was part of the problem. The other part was the idea that ‘Congress must do something’ and the only thing Congress can do is tax, spend and create bureaucracy.

DNI was the result. Increased bureaucracy does not lead to increased competence, increased reliability nor to increased accountability. You do the math.

Is this why the FBI’s first response to an incident is always “There is no connection to terrorism” type of statement?

Explains a lot.

In a nutshell: the FBI is to investigate ‘crimes’.

Terrorism is an act of war.

Sending the FBI in is an attempt to ‘normalize’ Private War and that has been going on for decades.

The FBI, itself, has amalgamated so many parts into itself that it suffers from the same things DNI and DHS do: increased incompetence, decreased accountability, more places to point fingers.

Bureaucrats have one mission: to expand bureaucracy. They do it to avoid accountability and to get unaccountable power in fiefdoms they control.

Now, as you were. This is all *very* entertaining :)

That’s the crux of this b.s.

Obama was scared.

And now wraps himself up in a cloak of holes.

Trying to cover his lies with even more lies.

The implosion of prevarication is coming.

Wow, you guys are becoming more and more unhinged! This is the best fake scandal ever. Keep it up!

bileduct on November 21, 2012 at 12:32 AM

Now Watergate, there was a scandal!!

Now Scooter Libby, there was a scandal!!

A few dead Americans because the Obama administration saw no need to worry about protecting its people in one of the most dangerous parts of the world is just a nothingburger.

Why, that’s no more scandalous than, say, arranging gunrunning to drug cartels in Mexico without the knowledge of the Mexican government.

See, if you wingnuts had gone to Harvard, you could grasp our smartpower.

You’re the best. Now, if only the resident dummy would own up to having read it…

Schadenfreude on November 20, 2012 at 11:16 PM

sesquipedalian was just trying to force someone to dig it up. His credibility has already been ruined dozens of times. That’s the problem with debating someone with no credibility. They have nothing to lose so they think nothing of making fake claims as long as they think it will burden you to prove them wrong.

There you go, Schad. :-)
