    Don't ask libs for the moon and the stars.

    They will never be logical or consistent.

    Obama is their welfare president and they will never breathe a word of criticism about him or their next sovereign ruler Hillary.

    Everything is political with them and they simply cannot conceive that Republicans really care about four dead Americans in Benghazi for anything other than as part of the political game.

    What I'm saying is that libs do not give a damn about the four dead Americans and they do not believe that we really care about them either.

    They are creatures of their own cynicism.

    How many americans have died from gun violence since Bengazi?

    Where is your empathy for them? Where are the congressional hearings?

    Why are those 4 americans more important than anyone who has died since?

    Could it be politics?

    Bengazi is a right wing circle jerk. The terrorists are waiting on their thank you cards.

    They were an embassy.

    If you can kill diplomacy have at the slaughter. Diplomacy decides who is a civilian in war, without it we might as well take off and nuke the entire site from orbit as it is really the only way to be sure in a bug hunt.

    It wasn't an embassy, it was a consulate. The embassy is in Tripoli.

    Either way, it doesn't make those 4 people who republicans seems to be so empathetic towards, more important than the 22 babies slaughtered at newtown or others who've died anywhere in the world.

    What Republicans are suffering from is selective empathy.

    You just confirm what I wrote in post #26.

    I am appalled that the 4 Americans were allowed to die without any attempt being made to save them.

    And I am offended by the coverup that Obama and his flunkies have engaged in since then.

    It is your side that has made this a political fight because libs are incapable of taking responsibility for their mistakes.

    Oh so this is why I ran across something that makes it sound like Rush Limbaugh is lamenting the attention Americans are paying to the Jodi Arias trial. Rush and his ilk have enjoyed a lifetime of disenfranchised lefties like me being apathetic when it comes to politics, but now his kind of people aren't marching along to his drumbeat and he's upset.

    I personally see Hillary as just as bad as Obama and Bush, they're all rightwing corporate toadies and the US is as usual screwing around in other countries with the end goal of stealing their stuff.

    Back to being apathetic and following trial coverage. At least this is one criminal who will probably get what she deserves. Can't say the same for the criminals in corporate and government offices.

    Was there a cover-up by the Newtown police or the governor of Connecticut? Your lack of concern for the deaths and wounding of the Americans in Benghazi is duly noted, but this OP is about Hillary's lies to the American people and the parents of the dead Americans personally. She clearly wants to be president and the Democrats would like her to be too. But, she has proven to be both incompetent and a truly shameless liar without a shred of humanity.

    No, I made no such admission. I was just pointing out your hypocricy.

    No evidence supports your claim beyond the report from the Libyan government, which turned out to be wrong.

    NO, they were an embassy:

    “a body of diplomatic representatives ; specifically : one headed by an ambassador”

    (Merriam-Webster m-w.com )

    Embassage: “the message or commission entrusted to an ambassador” (ibid)

    He was there doing his job, he was NOT on vacation, the ambassador was there as an embassage to Benghazi.

    “’At least one of the reasons he was in Benghazi was to further the secretary's wish that, that post become a permanent constituent post, and also there, because we understood that the secretary intended to visit Tripoli later in the year,’ said Hicks. ‘We hoped that she would be able to announce to the Libyan people our establishment of a permanent constituent post in Benghazi at that time.’

    The State Department Accountability Review Board chaired by Pickering and Mullen omitted any mention of this purpose for Amb. Stevens’ Sept. 11 presence in Benghazi.”

    If you want people to care about the babies, get an ambassador to speak for you and I would suggest the dead one.

    Bengazi was a CONSULATE.

    - - - Updated - - -

    So your empathy isn't because they died, but because you feel there was a cover up?

    Maybe you should rehtink empathy.

    Now that we all know that Hillary lied about the video possibly being the cause of the Al Qaeda attack on the Benghazi consulate and the assassination of a US ambassador, listen to her become enraged as a Republican congressmen attempts to get the truth out of her crooked mouth under oath:

    This thread isn't about empathy. It's about a cover-up that you don't want to discuss.

    I'm not the one who brought up empathy.

    What exactly is the administration covering up?

    While the Ambassador was there, whether it be a tent or Catelyn Stark on horseback to talk to “Lord” Stannis as an embassy of King Robb, it was an embassy. For thousands of years an embassy had walked before kings without a building on their backs.

    “Technically, however, ‘embassy’ refers to the diplomatic delegation itself,”

    The fact that they knew that the attack on the Benghazi consulate and US ambassador had nothing to do with video protests and they lied about it to the American people in order to hide their incompetence.

    It's too late, Dems. Obama has just thrown Hillary under the bus with these leaked e-mails. The Obama-Clinton civil war has begun. May the bodycount on both sides be horrendous.

    That's all this is about? That's what the Republicans are wasting their time trying to uncover?

    What exactly are they hoping to accomplish by uncovering this?

    I was adressing the OP and the series of false claims that were made on that post and on the blog entry cited.

    Millions saw the video, contrary to the claim.

    The footage of Clinton's condemnation do not reference Benghazi at all.

    Your response is irrelevant.

    Judging by the questions you are asking, it appears you really need to get up to speed on the issue. It's not polite to waste peoples' time.

    So if Chris Stephens had been having dinner with a Lybian offician at a cafe, that cafe would become the US embassy?

    Sorry, i realize your time spent on political forums is very important.

    I know that you don't care, but incompetence leading to the loss of human life and then lying about it is taken seriously by most human beings.

    Remember this guy?

    I don't think lying and the "What difference does it make!!" scream is going to save him.

    The ambassador is the embassy when he is doing his job, whether it be in a café or on horseback to North Korea or Iran, or wherever we do not have a building for them to squat to leak in.

    I cannot change the dictionary or thousands of years of the word being used that way to suit ignorant Democrats…

    I do not care how the State Department defines the word “embassy” or legatio (Cassell’s); if they do not know how to use a dictionary that is their problem and ours if we vote for any ignorant Obamanation to succeed this one.
