Republicans Altered Benghazi Emails, CBS News Report Claims [W:361]

If they just released them, they would have lost the opportunity to catch the publicans lying.

And the publicans were so stupid, they fell for it

AH, so when Carney stated that only 'one word' was changed then the emails refuted this...the GOP was stupid?

got it...;)
 
That is a lie

Carney didn't say that only one word was changed

Er uh, ok:

MR. CARNEY: Well, thank you for that question...Again, this was all in response to a request from Congress. And the only edit made by the White House or the State Department to those talking points generated by the CIA was a change from -- referring to the facility that was attacked in Benghazi, from “consulate,” because it was not a consulate, to “diplomatic post.” I think I had referred to it as “diplomatic facility." I think it may have been “diplomatic post.”
Press Briefing by Press Secretary Jay Carney, 05/10/2013 | The White House

Only edit...consulate.

Sure looks like one word to me...what am I missing?
 
Yep, GOP got the WH to release the ACTUAL emails finally after how long? go on you can say it

backfire indeed...:lamo

The emails showed that the Whitehouse was not responsible for changing the talking points so yes it backfired. There is nothing left to talk about.
 
What you're missing is a quote with Carney saying that only one word was changed

HUH? Are you being obtuse deliberately or is your reading comprehension too weak to understand the quote I posted previously? He clearly states 'one edit...consulate...to diplomatic post'.
 
The emails showed that the Whitehouse was not responsible for changing the talking points so yes it backfired. There is nothing left to talk about.

So the portion of the 5/10/13 WH press conference that I posted in #178 where Carney states clearly 'And the only edit made by the White House' means they are somehow 'not responsible for changing the talking points'.

OH ****, I get it...standard liberal/progressive meme...'move along, nothing to see here'. Don't throw you shoulder out patting yourself on the back because you got me with that one!...:lamo

I see you have to edit out a bunch of words to make the quote fit your dishonest claim

There were several edits to the talking points.

The White House is only responsible for one of them

OK, put all the words back in and show how it means anything different...

The above quote does not say "There was only one edit to the talking points"
 
You posted the proof (ie Carney's quote)

Thank you for this! So you concur that the WH has 'blood' on their hands...ok, we're making progress.

In a deceitful literal sense the WH or State really didn't make any changes since they didn't sit down at a keyboard and change the source copy of the talking points.
They kept telling the CIA to make changes and the CIA did what they were told.
The irony is that the CIA talking points didn't talk about the video ... but Susan Rice did.
In addition, Petraeus thought they were so bad he wouldn't leave his fingerprints on them.
Yes, Obama loyalists musty be very proud of their guy ... very proud.
 
Did you hear what Obama said at Morehouse College today?
“I might have been in prison. I might have been unemployed. I might not have been able to support a family — and that motivates me.”
The guy is so full of himself he has no sense of irony ... or perspicacity, god willing.

Careful there...you're kinda looking pedantic...wouldn't ya say Sang?
 
"There was only one edit" <> "The WH was responsible for only one edit"

OK, when did I say 'The WH was responsible for only one edit'?
