Obama Campaign Spokesman Abruptly Ends Radio Interview After Being Asked About Obama 'Lying' About
The Blaze ^ | 10/12/12 | Madeleine Morgenstern

Posted on 10/12/2012 8:20:22 AM PDT by Nachum

Obama campaign press secretary Ben LaBolt abruptly ended a heated radio interview Thursday after being pressed on President Barack Obama’s differing statements on the terrorist attack on the U.S. Consulate in Libya.

LaBolt insisted on Cleveland‘s WTAM that the White House has been sharing all the facts as they’ve come in from the intelligence community. Asked whether the president should make a statement disavowing his past comments blaming the assault on an anti-Islam video, LaBolt pushed back.

“The president called it an act of terror within 24 hours, he again updated the American people on the incident in Benghazi in his interview on ABC News last night and he — ” LaBolt said.

“So which time was he lying, when he called it a terror attack or when he called it a video problem?” WTAM’s host interjected. “Because he said two different things.”

“Thank you for having me this morning, I’ve gotta move to my next interview,” LaBolt said, ending the conversation.

Listen to the full interview below; hangup occurs around the 11:05 mark.

These lefties are used to softball interviews in which they are never challenged. They have no defense when asked tough questions other than to run away.

The bastards think they can get away with murder. The lying sack of leftist horse poop is a weasel lying low-life.

(I know it doesn’t make any sense. It just feels good to call the bastards what they are.)

The WTAM host who did the deed was Bob France, a confirmed and mild mannered Conservative. It could have been worse. Their afternoon drive time host is Mike Trivisonno. He would have cut LaBolt a new a**hole in a heavy Cleveland Eastside Little Italy accent.

They freely call others liers without justification, but they can’t take it if anyone turns the tables of them!

"The president called it an act of terror within 24 hours..."
If I remember correctly, Obama and his minons blamed it on the video for more than a week.

Perhaps what the spokesman really meant is that they KNEW it was a terrorist attack right away, but lied about it from the very beginning.

This guy must be as busy as Obama. He doesn’t have time for the truth or facts.

The liberal moderator didn’t ‘catch’ it either. Wonder if she’s on the Obama team... what am I thinking - of course she is...
ABC sucks.

Ryan should have called him on the blatant lying.

But Joe would have just shouted, smiked, grinned, and laughed him down

And the moderator would have changed the subject.

It’s possible that Hillary will spill some beans just before the next debate that support the case for the administration lying about the events in Libya.

Well, speaking of that, would you hit that Raddatz broad from the debate, Laz?

Bob Frantz is one of the Cleveland WTAM’s best hosts. He doesn’t play softball.
