Rudy Obliterates Soledad O'Brien: 'We're Going to Blame This on Bush, Too?'
Fox Nation ^ | 10/22/12 | Kevin Robillard, Politico

CNN host Soledad O’Brien and Rudy Giuliani clashed on Monday, with the the former New York City mayor accusing O’Brien of trying to blame George W. Bush for the attack on the U.S. consulate in Benghazi, Libya.

While interviewing Giuliani, O’Brien played a clip of former Bush adviser Matthew Dowd comparing Benghazi to the invasion of Iraq, arguing it was possible for the intelligence to be initially wrong on Benghazi, just as intelligence indicating Iraq had weapons of mass destruction turned out to be false.

“We’re going to blame this on Bush, too?” Giuliani said.

You’ve got to stop putting words in my mouth, sir,” O’Brien retorted. “Let me finish, because every time I ask you a question, let me finish my point — every time I ask you a question, you like to push back like the question I’m asking you is unfair. It’s not. I’m a journalist, you said some things. I’m trying to get accurate responses from you. You are welcome to answer.”

“OK, here’s the answer: It sounds like we’re trying to blame Benghazi on Bush,” Giuliani responded. “It’s absurd to blame Benghazi on Bush. All [President Barack Obama] needs to do is answer a simple question: Did he know about the consulate attacks that took place before Sept. 11, 2012? There were two of them, one of which blew a hole in the embassy wall. Also, did he know the British consulate, which was basically next door, that they moved out because of the tremendous amount of risk to that consulate?”

At “I’m a journalist” - I would’ve laughed in her face.

These people are delusional.

No, she is a campaign worker and not a very good one.

I don’t think most people know about the previous attacks on the mission. Hopefully Romney will bring up those facts tonight because this is not just about 9/11.

“No, she is a campaign worker and not a very good one.”

CNN/DNC put her in that time slot to target the morning break busy mom demo. The discourse is always 3rd grade level on that show when she doesn’t have a good GOP guest like Rudy or Sununu.

O'Brien retorted by chastising Guilani for actually talking every time she interrogated him. It's downright surreal.

By comparison to Soledad O'Brien, Peter Brady was a far more serious journalist. He saw the errors in his ways, doing a snow job article on his teacher to improve his grade and spreading gossip, and straightened his act.

She completely lost it. Giuliani was calm throughout, and she was shrill.

"I am a journalist!" Well, Soledad, if you feel you have to say it . . .

Why didn’t those protesters in Egypt have mortars and RPGs? Because they weren’t going to attack an American consulate. Good God, the Democrats must be amazed when a plumber shows up with a pipe wrench. It’s the tools that help identify the tradesman. Protesters have signs. Terrorists have mortars and RPGs and machine guns. It took me about 20 minutes to figure out this was an attack and not the Benghazi Knitting Club on a bender. I guess they should fire the state department and hire me.

A journalist is someone who pretends to have no bias. That’s inherently dishonest.

I remember when Soledad was merely a ‘foil’ for Bill O’Reilly.
