I thought after how egregiously and constantly wrong you were during the election, you would hide in shame. But I guess your ilk knows no shame.

And once again, when you've failed on the stage of ideas, you revert to elementary insults. Nice.

I wasn't owned. I told you to get a life because you posted a response to your response asking matt to respond to your prior response. It looked pathetic.

Protip: Don't call someone pathetic when you're still having trouble typing two extra keystrokes and lacking in grammar.

1.) Should I go on an exposition about the use of language? If the point of language is to communicate and you know what "ur" means. Why type out "your"? Do you complain when people say PC instead of personal computer? Or TV instead of television? If it is more efficient, people understand the use and we are in a colloquial setting, why waste ur breath? (You see the use of ur there) Or did it make you just feel good about yourself?

2.) I could point out how I have a better education than you. But that would be toolish. Exactly like pointing out someone's grammar on an internet board where I am sure people are more concerned about efficiency then accuracy. But, I'm sure your're one of those tools who goes to a football game and points out the crowds inaapropriate use of the english language.

smh.

But unlike buckshot, at least your smart enough to jettison your old name and try to reinvent yourself with a new one. I wonder how long this one will last.

Ah, didn't know the distinction with regards to security. Could the anti-terrorism team not just been ordered to remain, though?

No, I'm not. Congress did not say "Benghazi shall be without security" - the administration did.

Honestly I thought the clip must have been edited at first because the 'interview' was so short, but apparently not? The Fox News anchor basically just hit the panic button to get the guy off the air.

Props to the guy on calling them out. FNC doesn't give a damn about FSOs, they're just desperately searching for anything they think might make Obama look bad and politicizing those deaths to do so. So far they're failing miserably. The Benghazi "scandal" isn't going to bring down the presidency, no matter how much Fox News and its viewers wants it to. At most, it may keep Susan Rice from being nominated for SecState, but so what? Obama will just nominate someone else they'll probably hate just as much.

Forgive me if I'm hasty in my comments... My ire burns when Benghazi is held upon high as a failure on the current administration - when those same critics, those same people that turned a blind eye to the MASSIVE intelligence failures of the previous administration are now so concerned...

So John McCain and Condoleeza Rice go on Sunday shows claiming Iraq had nuclear weapons, use that as a pretense to start a war. No biggie.

Susan Rice goes on Sunday shows with flawed intel about an incident that already happened and this now disqualifies her for SoS and is the biggest foriegn policy failure ever???????

Who are we kidding!


BTW - How many Americans people died as a indirect result of Sunday show appearences of...?

Susan Rice
Condoleeza Rice

If this doesn't make the GOP look more petty and useless then they already are, I am not sure what more they could do to convince the American People. Oh wait they DID convince the non Fox watching American people hence President Obama winning his second term handily.

Yet everytime one of those idiots bring it up they swear up and down that the vote was close. Arguing with a righty is like arguing with someone on LSD, just an exercise in DUH...

No, I'm not. Congress did not say "Benghazi shall be without security" - the administration did.
You're just parroting the talking points. The Benghazi consulate was not without security. On the contrary, the State Department had already approved and completed major security upgrades there at substantial cost (over $1M). Tragically, that was just not enough for an attack unprecedented in both its intensity and duration (as stated in sworn Congressional testimony). The 16 man security team the right fixates on was NOT assigned to Benghazi; they were stationed in Tripoli and would have made zero difference in this attack.

Remember that Ambassador Stevens was not stationed in Benghazi. He was there for meetings. It was his bad luck he was there the same day the terrorists, none of whom are members of the Obama administration, decided to attack. I find it repugnant that so many on the right are far more concerned with "getting" Obama than getting the actual perpetrators. Their hateful obsession is pathetic and borders on treason.
