Right-Wing Media Tie Hillary Clinton To The Terrorist Group's Kidnapping

Fox News: If Hillary Clinton Had Designated Boko Haram A Foreign Terrorist Organization, It Could Have "Saved These Girls Earlier." On the May 8 edition of Fox News' Fox & Friends the hosts tried to place blame on former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton by arguing that Clinton had refused to designate Boko Haram as a foreign terrorist organization (FTO), claiming that if she had done so, it "could have saved these girls earlier":
STEVE DOOCY: This is really something. We've with been telling you about this terrorist group called Boko Haram out in Africa, how they've killed an entire village. They have since, in the last couple of weeks, they have kidnapped 300 young girls. They're going to sell them into slavery.
BRIAN KILMEADE: And prior to that, boys.
DOOCY: They burned a bunch of boys. They burned down a village. It's all bad. And now word is, because we did not place them on the terror list, of officially known terrorist groups, it's going to be harder to go after them. And who exactly made sure that they were not placed on the terror list? Hillary Clinton.
ELISABETH HASSELBECK: And the rights of women and young girls, those are pillars of what she wanted to accomplish in her time at the State department. But right here, what she didn't actually tweet, and perhaps because it was over 140 characters, was the fact that her own State department, as Steve just mentioned, did not place Boko Haram on the list of foreign terrorist organizations which would have forbidden any sort of authority to increase securities to them, increase assistance to Nigerian security forces in that area and perhaps could have saved these girls earlier.

i see polls that encourage republican voters from sites i've trusted i don't know what to think than i see polls that favor Progressives i wonder am i falling in the trap of republican rhetoric, i do know at times i feel Americans deserve what they get if they support the greater evil and if they decide not to turn out in Nov. either way it's a shot through the heart of American democracy and the majority of the voters those who oppose as well there is no escape right wing politics id like a black hole sucking everything out of the country and it's people so rich can take that money off shore further debilitating the democratic process.

republicans will continue on this road till 2016 emboldened if they win 2014 and those who chose to stay home there is no future and those who support no future, our one big chance regardless to gerrymandered states and red states with Dem governors is for us all of us to participate Nov. 4th, we saw that work in 2008 and 12 in spite of republican skulduggery and misleading misinformation and big money permeating the ranks of those who would sell their country out just to get in and stay in office, problem is they do nothing for "we the people"  and some still believe their salvation is with them.

they are backing off ACA because they are not completely stupid facts are not lies right wing insinuations are. now they are focused on Hilary to paint her before 2016 and Pres. because frankly they don't want a Black President with his accomplishments in the history books because he did it all without them leaving history as they were the racist obstructors that he saved the country from, that's a fact.

Hilary designating BOKO HARAM a terrorist group would have done nothing but embolden them giving then status in their world as fighting the evil westerners ramping up incidents and terror plots and attacks, when you grant your enemy the status they seek it's the beginning of defeat for those who appease the ego of those criminals
