My gripe with the other haters in the R party, do not tell me for one second you care about the death of four Americans, while you turn your back on genocide caused by Bush.

so i'll say it again....

the mistakes of one administration cancel out mistakes from another?

does that statement imply that i agreed with the bush administration? yeah, i called them mistakes. probably a word you would not have chosen since it didnt include "lie" in there anywhere. i have plenty of issue with both iraq and afghanistan. you might say i've evolved over the years. however, that is not what this thread was about. you wanna have that discussion? start a thread. you can put all the words in my mouth that you want in that thread. that being said...

I know you realize Obama is black, the first thing you probably noticed.

Let's pick on the black president for another 4 years

this is the second time in this thread that you have implied that i am a racist. you may see me on tuesday's little get together and i will see if you can call me that to my face or the face of my significant other who, just like obama, has a black father. cut the charges of racism, jim. now.

[Stephen Eisel]

once again Jim, a little research goes a long way.... Oops, throwing out the race card just got trumped by the facts...

I found it to be highly amusing that while McCain was blathering to the press about not being thoroughly briefed about the attack, he was missing a two-hour meeting designed to do just that.

In addition, he continues to harp upon the need for another select committee to investigate the attack in the hope that he will chair it and keep himself in the limelight. Apparently, in January, McCain will lose his top-ranking committee seat due to term limits. The only ranking Republican spot available to him next session will be on the Indian Affairs Committee.

McCain should be taken to the woodshed for using the Benghazi attack in an obvious attempt to further his personal political agenda.

McCain has not political ambition, he is just a very bitter loser, and feels left behind so like
so many on the right, let's pick, pick, pick, pick away forever. Let's start with the look into a
very small land deal until two years later we can impeach a Democratic President for lying
about an affair between two consensual adults. Two years nearly 600 million dollars, take
the President off whatever he should be doing and just rat him to death. FOR THE USA.

Republican President, lies, cheat steals and funnels billions to friends, kills 299,000
innocents, and lies results in the death of 4,430 American soldiers, and who knows how
many "contractors." Mention it and hear a wall of whining, "Why don;t you respect the office."

It is utter BS.

In the myopic world of the Right, Watergate becomes a third rate burglary.

"Petraeus 'Knew Almost Immediately' Al Qaeda-Linked Group Responsible for Benghazi"

Well here we are almost immediately is not immediately. Rice goes on TV saying exactly
what she was told, nothing more nothing less. But she is guilty or stupid! Not doing her
job, no she is supposed to go outside why the CIA told her and make things up! Oh yeah,
the right would have let that slide. Obama says "act of terror" but no that is not enough
he needed to say it with conviction, and why did he let Rice go on TV and say what the
CIA told her!!!!

This is nothing more than another but of BS from a bunch of whiners who deep down inside
have sold their souls to the Republican party, not America.

It is sick. When will the right come back to America?

When will the right respect the office they covet more than the truth?

When will the right stop using our military for commercial purposes to line their pockets
with blood money.

When will the right run a person for president that is not inept, or a liar, or both.

Kate, threaten away, I see that as equally sad and inept.

Kate, threaten away, I see that as equally sad and inept

not sure how ineptitude fits into that but whatevs.

i was quite sure that you would see it as a threat so let me clarify...

it was a challenge. a challenge to see if you will say similar dumb shit to my face.

what's truly sad is that you have twice implied that i am a racist with absolutely zero evidence to make that point.

the day that you admit that you are wrong will be the day those in hell refuse ice water.

ramble on, jim, ramble on.

State Department email obtained by FOX News showing that within two hours of the attack on the U.S. consulate in Benghazi, Libya hundreds of Obama administration officials had been alerted to the potential role of al Qaeda-affiliate Ansar al-Sharia.

debate over!

Fox news, as solid as MSNBC, laughable for any real facts.

And the next day, Obama said Acts of Terrorism would not be tolerated.

Inquest, over.

Stephen you are such a shill for the anti-American right.

When you value the life of 250,000 lives dead, including 4,000+ Americans as much as
you value the lives of those brave people lost in Benghazi, you will have credibility.

Until then, pure anti-American, anti-President shill.

In my humble opinion.

Until Friday, there were two possible explanations for why the White House failed to immediately call the Benghazi attack an act of terrorism. One was incompetence, the other was worse.

Now there is only one, and it is the worse one. Based on the persuasive testimony of ex-CIA boss David Petraeus, it is clear the Obama administration made a deliberate decision to mislead Congress and the American people.

The repeated claim that the attack was spontaneous and grew out of a demonstration against an anti-Islam video — a claim made by the president and secretary of State as they stood next to the bodies of four dead Americans — was a monstrous lie. It was vile and done for the basest of reasons.



Because we now know the truth of what happened — CIA reports were edited to remove the names of al Qaeda groups involved in the attack, Petraeus said under oath — we also know the motive. It was political self-preservation, meaning the president and his team put politics first.

[Stephen Eisel]

And the next day, Obama said Acts of Terrorism would not be tolerated.

But, he was not referring specificlly to the Benghazi incident. remember, he was selling the story that the embassy was attacked because of a film.. Who is the shill? just sayin

I've been watching this thread for days and this has really degenerated into the worst kind of discussion that can happen on the deck. Between this tit-for-tat, which has included photos of the president walking over the graves of soldiers, as well as charges of racism and demands for apologies here and elsewhere, I'd like to remind everyone flaming-out that it looks really bad all around. I don't post on this part of the deck often because I think it's best that I don't engage in public political forums as a city employee. But watching what has happened on this side of the deck lately makes me question what value the whole conversation has in the first place. Is Benghazi an issue? Sure. Whether or not it means anything in the larger context of politics is worth considering, but as long as people are talking about it, as evidenced here, it is an issue. But for the good of the intelligent conversation that usually pervades our discussions, and sure there have been other examples of the degenerative impulse of heated debate, I'd just like to say that this whole side of the deck could use some perspective. IMHO.
