Hands down the biggest news story of the 2013 holiday season was the New York Times opus on the 2012 Benghazi attack. The Dec. 28 story debunked every single right-wing conspiracy peddled by Fox News (and also promulgated briefly by CBS News’s “60 Minutes”): the attack was, in fact, heavily motivated by an anti-Islam movie,
as the Obama administration claimed; its militia ringleaders were independent of al-Qaida, and there was nothing the administration or Hillary Clinton’s State Department could do to protect the four men who died at the under-defended Benghazi compound.Given the holiday, you may have missed the story. The folks at Fox may as well have. They continue to push their old lies: that the tragedy was the result of Obama and Clinton ignoring the growing al Qaida threat in Libya and the danger to Ambassador Chris Stevens and his staff.When Fox bothered to acknowledge the Times’s work, it has been only to accuse the paper of carrying water for the administration, and specifically, for Hillary Clinton.“The reason that Timesinvested all the effort and time in this and put it on the front page is precisely a way to protect the Democrats, to deflect the issue, to protect Hillary, who was exposed on this issue with almost no issue in her tenure in the administration,” he said Monday. “It is obviously a political move.”To be fair, the Times story had critics beyond Fox: the Daily Beast’s Eli Lake continued to peddle the story that al Qaida played a key role in the Benghazi bloodshed.But Fox Business hit a new low Thursday, when Lou Dobbs hosted former CIA analyst Michael Scheuer to attack the Times’s work. Scheuer became famous critiquing the Bush administration’s war on terror in his book “Imperial Hubris,” which he first published anonymously. But he’s reached new depths attacking Obama.
remember when they started this inquisition on Benghazi their usual rush to their judgement was not researched and as usual they leaped and accused the admin before any facts were reported stating they knew if from the beginning the same way Issa carry's out his witch hunts which none have ever bore any fruit, they all admit they have no proof or "i don't know" then proceed into the accusation and pursuit of a guilt that fits their search for guilt that they don't know of and can't prove if they did.
Krauthammer touted as one of their intellectuals repeated Hillary's name as being protected 4 or 5 times in the same thought, right wing obsession, and trying to dirty her up before 2016? YES!
In a Dec. 23 column on Obama’s tyranny, he effectively advocated the president’s assassination, quoting Algernon Sidney on what should happen to tyrants: “by an established law among the most virtuous nations, every man might kill a tyrant, and no names are recorded in history with more honor, than of those who did it.”Scheuer also managed to work in racism, sexism and xenophobia, insisting Obama and Attorney General Eric Holder are protected because “the impeachment provisions of the Constitution are a dead letter; that they apply only to individuals named Nixon; or that they do not apply to black Americans supported by such towering giants of fatuousness as Oprah, Chris Matthews, Fareed Zakaria, Piers Morgan, and Hillary Clinton and her motley band of Viragos.”David Frum argued that “Scheuer’s meltdown” would once and for all discredit him and keep him off the airwaves – Frum charges liberals with looking away from Scheuer’s extremism and anti-Semitism back when he was a Bush critic, and he has a point.But Frum was wrong: Dobbs invited Scheuer to weigh in on the Times’s Benghazi scoop, and he came through for the Fox Business host, insisting Clinton “has blood on her arms up to her elbows for not being willing to protect the people who are representing us in Libya” and thus “killed those Americans and [the Times editors] have to kill that story or it is going to become mainstream for 2016.” (h/t Media Matters.)Clearly the right’s Benghazi fever will not be cured by facts. Obama and Clinton’s critics are so adept at projection that they imagine the New York Times is motivated by the same sort of political agenda that drives Fox’s news coverage, only for the other team. I enjoyed managing editor Jill Abramson dismissing Fox’s charges as “ridiculous,” without elaboration.
the fever pitch that they have switched to Hilary with does not yet rival that of the racial disgraceful attacks on Pres. but i think will come to parallel though she is not Black she is a women and republican with last 5 years of history are at war with both we know it's been longer but easier to document the last 5.
remember this obstruction of Pres. by default is a denial to you by your not so friendly neighborhood republican.
