Governor Palin: Americans Deserve Answers
Conservatives4Palin ^ | October 25 2012 | Stacy Drake

Posted on 10/25/2012 1:35:31 PM PDT by Bratch


Governor Palin posts another Facebook note today laying out a list of questions that the media in this country SHOULD be asking the Obama administration.

Via Facebook:

There are many questions about the Benghazi attack that Americans deserve answers to. It’s been too long an “investigation” and too tragic for the families of lost loved ones for the White House and its friends in the media to ignore these questions:

- When and why did the YouTube trailer of the anti-Muhammad movie surface as any kind of credible reason for the attack?

- Where is the proof that that video was linked to Benghazi? It’s a weak excuse to claim some supposed rumored link between Benghazi and the attacks on our embassy in Cairo. Benghazi was very different. “Spontaneous” protestors don’t come armed with rocket-propelled grenades.

- What was the President’s response to the previous Benghazi embassy attacks in April and June? Why did officials ignore the requests for beefed up security to protect Americans after these attacks?

- Why did the Obama Administration assume a YouTube video was the reason for the Benghazi attack but not all the evidence to the contrary from the postings and emails that circulated that night in real time as the attack took place and Americans were being killed? And why weren’t those emails disclosed until this week?

- Why did the Obama administration spend our tax dollars to make and air television ads that ran in the Middle East apologizing for the YouTube video when they had so much credible evidence that it was nothing but a red herring?

- How much did President Obama know about this? In an interview he gave to CBS News on September 12, President Obama alluded to the fact that the Benghazi attack was not—as his U.N. Ambassador Susan Rice and other officials were characterizing it—a “spontaneous” protest triggered by the Cairo embassy attack and the video. He told CBS News in that interview, “my suspicion is that there are folks involved in [the Benghazi attack] who were looking to target Americans from the start.” If he suspected this then why did he allow his administration to continue blaming the attack on the YouTube video? And why didn’t CBS News call him out on this when his comments in their interview with him, which they didn’t air until a month later, belie the administration’s YouTube narrative?

Someone in the media must demand answers. Until the media does its job to give us the Who What Where When and Why of this cover-up, there will be even less trust for this “cornerstone of our democracy” – if less trust and respect for the media is even possible today. We sincerely want to be able to trust the media. We need to be able to trust them. Their job is so important, and we appreciate all the good journalists in America. Our troops fight to protect all our freedoms including the freedom of the press.

- Sarah Palin

She is a mother whose first born is caught in the midst of all of this. She also has a platform and a wide following of people who know she is right to attack and question. Woe unto those who get in this Momma Grizzly’s way.

Michelle Bachmann tried to take on the Washington establishment but she had zero support and fellow Republicans were calling her everything but a liar, except for West. Two Conservative women doing the job the men are too chicken to do.

Sarah Palin Ping List!

Serfs don't get to ask what their rulers have done in the past. True Citizens both Demand and Deserve answers on how THEIR ambassador was murdered!

Brotherhood money buys republicans as easily as it buys democrats.

No wonder they try to discredit Sarah and Michele, they are some of the biggest threats to their plans!!

Honestly, that sounds like the kind of idea one would have when one was stoned. I'm not kidding.

Actually, the Conservatives4Palin website was more nasty to Michelle Bachmann than any liberal paper was.

Bachmann was trashed and burned this last year by the Palin people.

The more I see of her and the more I hear what she says, te more I am convinced that if she is not President, America will be the worse for it.

Pray hard that it is not too late.

That is sad to hear. They're supposed to be on the same team (IE: getting rid of Obama first and foremost).

BTW, anyone hear Beck yesterday ranting about this Bengazi mess? He was even throwing out the T word.

Well, there was definately some ire after Bachman’s campaign manager (Ed Rollins) trashed Palin, after Palin had strongly supported/donated/campaigned for Bachman during the mid-terms. But it basically passed. Especially after Rollins left Bachman’s campaign and then proceeded to trash her too!

I like Bachman, and think she’s rock-solid in her views and positions. But I also think she was “played” a bit by the GOP-establishment, who were wanting to keep the Tea Party contingent at bay (and also dissuade Palin from running). When Bachman was in the race early-on, and only polling about 2% at best, there were a slew of Republican-establishment hacks on FoxNews that curiously started pushing her like mad, all at the same time, in the same week. It was weird. Because these weren’t your usual names that would cotton to Bachman. It seemed so strangely calculated. She shot up in the polls for a while after that. Then the same hacks later dropped her like a rock, of course. It was all rather eyebrow-raising.

Well, if you have already asked those questions...
Why then is Mrs. Palin so noteworthy for asking the same ones?

Why aren’t you just as brilliant for asking the same questions?

You are 100% correct NTHockey.

The Americans in Benghazi were abandoned by this Administration, they fought for SEVEN hours but help was never sent. Meanwhile a drone was watching from above. The POTUS knew this and quickly jumped on a plane for...Las Vegas, that place he told others not to go. Meanwhile news of the Muslim brotherhood visits to the White House is becoming public. If it looks like a duck, walks like a duck and quacks like a duck it must be a “T”.

Because she’s not an irrelevant blog pimp hall monitor like you Humgun.
Now go back to your little one arm desk and watch out for them mean old blog pimps, we’re really counting on you, LOLOLOL!

People enjoy listening to her and are interested in what she has to say Humgun, unlike your little pathetic, veiled misogynistic dissertations.

Keep the pressure on the bastards Sarah, something our great Republican congressional leadership isn't doing.

So...

You’re saying she’s noteworthy for asking the same questions YOU ask because...

She’s some kind of special?

Honestly.. if she is just mirroring YOU.. aren’t you just as special?

Why fawn over her for agreeing with you?
