Uhh, when did I get on about Geithner? And to my broader point, you guys have the audacity to explain exactly what is going on in each candidates head-and it always favors your side. I see it as childish.
I meant "you" in the sense of the "Scandal a Day" Club.
And just a bit ironic to hear you credit this telepathic ability to those on the Left. You may recall earlier in this thread (post #194) my comment regarding:
Exactly as I had stated an attempt to turn a simple line of questioning into an emotional and visceral event.
You guys always seem to know what people are thinking, their motivations. Maybe that's why you often don't know what's going on — yer continually distracted reading people's minds.
This is SOP at Fùx Noise. I'm continually hearing them tell me why members of the administration are doing things. They don't focus on what was done or what was said, and they don't stop at speculating about why — they TELL me why. "Obama knew x wasn't true when he said it — we
know that now." "They're trying to blah." "They believe that …" — what is it "they" believe? "Well, lemme tell ya! They believe that America is rotten, no good, the problem with the world today. They want to, yes,
destroy America."
Now, I don't want to sound like I'm complaining. I don't want the haters on the Right to have that satisfaction. But this is poisoning the political atmosphere in this country. Fùx Noise and right-wing hate media spew toxic waste out of fire hoses into the face of America 24/7. The only good news is that it will implode. Hateful liars always lose in the end.
This is the level of discussion I seek to avoid. My goal is to stick to evidence, logic, reason. I don't have ANY problem with conservatives. But a viscous hysteria has developed in recent years on the Right. I never called Mr. Bush a liar. He's a gentleman, a patriot, a fine citizen. Obama is the same damn thing.
He's not the problem. People like Blech and Limpbaugh — they're the problem. Our heroes. Gonna save the country from that lying Kenyan, Muslim, America-hating, commie fraud. There's not much that could be more disgusting.
Im amazed at how many lefties will enter these threads knowing absolutely nothing about the facts (as an example, in trying to blame it on "republican" funding cuts-though Clinton herself said it had nothing to do with the attacks)
A very narrow interpretation. Did Republicans seek large cuts in the budget for overseas diplomatic security? Then I have to listen to all this nonsense about all the booze and expensive furniture she bought. Nothing at all to back it up. "Rush and Sean both said it." No numbers. No evidence. Just slanderous invectives. Well beneath the dignity of men like Reagan and the Bushes.
>>but then will arrogantly state that its a false scandal, and then tell us whats in Mitt Romney's head, based on a photo of him smiling. I can't imagine thinking like this.
Why is is any more arrogant to claim that it's not a scandal than it is to claim that it IS one? Nothing AT ALL has come of it. "Well that's because they're covering up." And when nothing
does come of it? "They covered up and got away with it. And the media covered it up too, or else they would have been exposed." Yeah.
Like I said, watching the clip from the debate, it is entirely obvious why Obama smiled. Romney goes and on, not answering the question, and eventually says that he knows F & F "has been investigated — to a degree." Obama chuckles. Fwiw, not the same as a smirk walking off the stage from that statement. You seem to think he saw something offstage that prompted it. Fine.
As I said, I don't care at all what facial expressions he made. He expressed his sympathy and concern, offered his condolences. He should have walked away. But the morons he had advising him persuaded him to ATTACK. "You
must strike — now! Obama is vulnerable on foreign policy. Weak, indecisive, woefully short of feck." Romney embarrassed himself, his party, and the nation. The staffer I mentioned says it cost him the election. Good thing, if ya ask me.
>>YOU dont want to know the specifics, I do.
I already know them. They are known. You want them to be something else.
>>when the bullets started flying-she didn't pick up the phone.
Yeah.
>>this attack was preventable
So was the original 9/11. "Bin Laden determined to attack inside the U.S." I don't blame Bush; I blame Chaingang — Mr. National Security.
>>So what you are saying is that Hillary valued supporting the libyan govt more than the life of an Ambassador? You sure you want to go with that?
Stevens valued his work enough to take chances like that over and over and over again.
I have asked repeatedly for the "conservative" view of John Christopher as of Sept 10, 2012. I've not yet heard a peep. From what I understand, he was pretty much like a son to her, the son she never had. I won't go into it, because I don't want her feelings urinated on as being just a lot of fakery.
