Republican Rep. Gowdy (R-SC) actually suggested that he was quoting the email during Wednesday’s hearing, and he said “Islamic terrorists”. But the email does not say that. The email uses the word “extremists”.
For the record, an extremist is defined as “One who advocates or resorts to measures beyond the norm, especially in politics.” No mention of violence necessarily implied with the word extremist. However, “terrorist” is defined as, “One that engages in acts or an act of terrorism.”While we’re factchecking the definition of words so that we can chase the ever-moving goalposts of the Republican Benghazigasm, terror means “violence committed or threatened by a group to intimidate or coerce a population, as for military or political purposes.” Thank you, President Obama.
someone please stick a fork in the republican propaganda machine it's burnt and simmering in it's own oil.
Here’s a huge, glaring logic problem for Republicans. Currently, they are arguing that Obama saying “Act of terror” in the Rose Garden on September 12 was not a real reference to terror. At the same time, they are arguing that the phrase — from the Benghazi email John Boehner never read until it was too late — “Islamic extremists” can be read and interpreted as “Islamic terrorists”.Oh, really?Republicans got themselves into this mess by screaming that President Obama did not use the right word at the right time with the right ending, and thus he should be impeached or at the very least, not reelected.The fact that he said “act of terror” isn’t good enough, because you see, words matter. He had to say “the terrorists!” or else.But now John Boehner has made a fool of himself by publicly charging that an email said “Islamic terrorists” and that the administration changed the talking points to “Islamic extremists”. In fact, the email actually reads “Islamic extremists” (a fact Boehner would have had a better shot of knowing had he actually attended the briefing during which the emails were shared).
oh what a tangled web republicans weave when their only MO is to deceive. kinda makes you wonder anout Beohner and his "he are going to remain focuse on jobs" dousy doesn't it oh and don't forget the grand whopper,
Speaker John Boehner (R-Ohio) on Thursday said the Obama administration was displaying “remarkable arrogance” in responding to a series of scandals in recent weeks.
“Our system requires the bonds of trust between the American people and their government".
cold frigid below zero busted!!!
