Barack Obama and his minions are so used to controlling the press that they seem to think they can get away with anything. Thus, the eruption of anti-American riots from Morocco to Pakistan, beginning on September 11, is chalked up to a spontaneous eruption of entirely understandable Muslim distress over an otherwise-unknown YouTube video. Never mind the RPGs and machine guns. And when an American ambassador is murdered and dragged through the streets of Benghazi by a howling mob, not to worry: there was no negligence in failing to provide security; the ambassador, Chris Stevens, died essentially by accident from smoke inhalation; and his body was discovered by a group of friendly Libyans who rushed him to the hospital. Sure.
The main threat to the administration’s cover-up has never been American reporters, almost all of whom are desperately trying to get Obama re-elected. Rather, the danger is that more of the cell phone pictures and movies that were taken by Libyans of events in Benghazi and, in particular, of Ambassador Stevens, inevitably will surface, and will disrupt the administration’s narrative.
That may be starting to happen. This cell phone video purports to show the moment when the Libyan mob discovers Ambassador Stevens. Is that really what it depicts? I can’t tell. The setting appears right, and Breitbart.com says the victim’s clothing matches what is seen in later photos of Ambassador Stevens. I can’t judge that. But there is a sickening credibility to the poster’s claim that what we are seeing here is Ambassador Stevens being dragged from the “safe house” that turned out to be unsafe and, as far as I can tell, undefended. Here it is; judge for yourself:
This is, I suspect, the first of many shoes that will be dropping over the coming days ofthe Obama administration.

How do you know R&R aren’t saying something? If the media doesn’t cover, we won’t hear.
To their worshipers, no. To everyone esls, probably.
They’re all auditioning for a job in the WH.
Good point, however I noticed that FNC’s Chris Wallace had Obama’s UN flack and the Repub Head of Intelligence but did not see anyone from R&R????
“If this doesn’t do Obama in...it is going to get worse by an order of magnitude.”
Do you actually think this will “ do Obama in”?
Frankly, NO!
I am already alone in a Democrat city and from a family that votes all Democrat. I have one, count ‘em folks one friend I can talk to, no wait, two, about the truth.
I did that in 2000 after the Florida recount.
Democrats are too evil, too stupid, or too much of a Useful Idiot to be a friend.
Yup. Funny enough, I am an attorney and most of my collegues HATE obama w a passion. At least the ones i deal with.
As for democrats - they are disgusting and vile. I actually have a few defending QE3 on my board. They will defend ANYTHING that the democrats do.
Were they white, that would be called racist.
Good thing all the melanin-enhanced folks are immune to racism.
Thank you and to others who responded to my post. Thank God for FreeRepublic. Sometimes you just wonder if you’re screaming to the wind.
I’m really at the point where I’m ready to move if the unthinkable happens and let those that vote that way inherit all that could come. I won’t do any improvements except minimal maintenance until after November. If the worst comes to pass, I’m prepared to retire early and move.
Any Wyoming or Idaho Freepers out there? ;)
...”While I applaud your zeal in trying to educate your Liberal Facebook “friends”, I’d point out that it’s like trying to teach a pig to sing: it won’t work and it irritates the pig.
I’ve just about given up myself. In my medical practice in the Washington suburbs I come in contact occasionally with seemingly bright, educated open-minded blacks, upper level government employees for the most part.
If they seem the slightest bit interested, I’ll sometimes try to inform them of the facts demonstrating the ongoing and inevitable destruction of their and everyone else’s health care system by Obamacare.
However, as soon as they recognize that an Obama policy is being criticized, I can see their intellect and curiosity cease and they immediately assume a defensive posture, sometimes mildly hostile. Not one that I have tried to educate ever has seemed to care enough to break through the barrier of their “team loyalty”.
Even when the issue is framed as critical to the future health of themselves and their loved ones, the message falls on deaf ears.
If these are their best and the brightest, it’s probably hopeless with the rest”...
Just keep on trying to open their blind eyes, Doc, and just keep feeding wisdom to these folks..If you can save even one, your efforts will have been worth the trouble. These are mostly good folks..They just can’t see past their racism to the future for their children..Their kids are not going to be happy in a post-free society. Once the powers-that-be use them, they will be tossed under the bus, but for a very select few. The other scenario is that a more determined and industrious people will take them over and they will be the losers for not bonding honestly and non-racially, with ALL their fellow citizens in 2012. To gain knowledge, one gathers facts, figures and experience. To gain wisdom, one has to studiously consider those facts, figures and experience to come to a moral decision about a life which does the least harm to self and others. Those who are puppets on a string never advance morally in life. May I introduce you to the American media and their puppet followers who damage each and every American each and every day of their lives.
I do not think this will do obama in either. In fact, I still maintain that he stands a better than a 50-50 chance of being re-elected. I do not believe that he has lost the support of any of the groups that put him in the White House. The jews will vote for him because he is not a Republican, not a Conservative,nor a Christian. The Blacks will vote for him because they perceive him as Black. The American haters, including the Democrats, perverts, degenerates,parasites, and traitors will vote for him because he is one of them. The young will vote for him because they have been brainwashed,deceived,of the “thrill” of voting for an “oppressed” Black man, do not have the intelligence to get in from the rain. Then factor in vote fraud and the Republican Party running a candidate that is supposed to lose,a/l/a John McCain. Romney is the 2012 version of John McCain. Ryan is his Sarah Palin. After the votes have been counted, it will be a miracle if Romney wins when it should not even have been close.
About the above and caught lies.
I was scanning through the Sunday shows looking for something interesting and on FACE THE NATION (CBS) Libyan President Mohammed el-Megarif was interviewed and he said that the embassy attack was planned well in advance by foreigners, so then Susan Rice, U.S. ambassador to the United Nations (who was on every single show) gets on IMMEDIATELY after him and repeats the canned Obama line that it was purely “a spontaneous eruption of outrage caused by a hateful video posted on youtube” and not planned at all.
That was after Bob Scheifer politely asked her :” What is this a complete disconnect?”
After all how could Obama anticipate “a spontaneous eruption of outrage caused by a hateful video posted on youtube” ? But a planned attack by those who Obama said he had already killed (in his DNC speech) is another story.
Is Bin Laden really dead?
The problem is that you don’t see this story or the footage on any of the “mainstream” outlets, in fact you see and hear the regime’s excuses spun almost verbatim. The so-called “soccer moms” just can’t understand why anyone could criticize Baraq and the ‘Beast in their handling of foreign policy.
The only person that could guarantee with 99% certainty he would be at that location on that day, several months in advance so plans could be made, is Hillary Clinton.
Even the Ambassador himself couldn't guarantee it with a higher % than Hillary because Hillary could tell him to be somewhere else.
I don't think Hillary intended for him to be killed, just taken hostage and held until Romney took office.
Frustrated and depressed is exactly what the media are trying to make you, SueRae. Don't fall for it! There is very little enthusiasm for Obama this year, and his increasingly desperate tactics should tell you the real story.
Just yesterday one of them told me that the Marines didn't need live ammo because the Egyptian and Libyan governments had promised to protect our embassies. I told him, "Now I understand why Lenin referred to you guys as useful idiots."
Ping to kingattax.
Doc, I HEAR you! I get the same reaction from people in the music industry and CHURCH, of all places.
