Rice didn't lie, but put 'softer touch' on Benghazi truth
The Hill ^ | November 16, 2012 | By Daniel Strauss

Susan Rice was not lying but put a “softer touch” on the September 11 attack on the U.S. Consulate in Benghazi, Libya, Sen. Saxby Chambliss (R-Ga.) said Friday.

"I'm not saying she lied, I'm just saying she didn't tell [the truth],” Chambliss said on MSNBC. “She put a softer touch on what the real facts were. That's not lying.”

“She put a softer touch on what the real facts were. That's not lying.”

Spoken like a politician who may not be able to distinguish truth from lies anymore....The intent was to deceive, so she WAS too lying.

Obama said that he called it a terrorist attack right away. He also said don’t attack rice but go after him because he sent her out with the info. Therefore BOTH rice and obama lied to the american people.

What is it with this cowardice about saying the word “lie”?

Boy, they sure know how to ruin a good phrase - first the words liberal, compassion, then gay, now softer touch is a lib euphemism.

Reminds me of how the great Clinton’s Big Media cheerleaders would tell us in advance which defenses he would use in order to prepare us for new truths, like “it was a private, personal affair” (except for Petraeus) and “oral sex isn’t sex”.

(A) Trailer for a movie no one ever heard of or
(B) Terrorism?

She chose or was instructed by her Boss to chose (A).

Curiously, information was released yesterday that former CIA Director Petraeus will testify that he knew it was (B) almost immediately.

==

Those who chose (A) and repeated that false report for WEEKS after the Benghazi attacks were lying and they knew from the start that they were lying.

Upcoming “softer touch” political cartoons should be interesting....

Didn’t Hillary Clinton also tell the same tales?
And didn’t she also say something to the father of one of the SEALs at the ceremony about the film maker that looking back now means that she already knew it wasn’t because of the film? And Didn’t Hilllary also make some video commercials blaming the you tube video?

Same mentality as “I didn't have sex with that woman” but a blue dress and a cigar came away with stains.

A lie is a lie. A “softer touch” of the truth is a lie. An omission is a lie.

What in the world? Do any Chambliss staffers read this site? If so, could you tell us if he’s having some sort of medical problem or if he’s always been ‘off’ but you’ve managed to keep it hidden.
This is really ridiculous.

NOTHING is a “lie” for this administration.

“Hussein cannot tell a lie” has always been the story, because he (NOW, since last month) acts PRESIDENTIAL.

Oooooh, SWOON.

SHE LIED

She lied about why they died.

Rice is just another lying, inept Affirmative Action appointee - part of the Black Mafia now ruling the country.

“soft touch Saxby” would never accuse a lady of lying, no sir, that language is simply not allowed in the Capitol Hill Gentleman’s Club, aka the US Senate

Is he outta his flipping mind??? What, he’s afraid of being called racist because some black race-baiter says it’s racist to say she lied? OMG.

Does anybody still wonder why we lost the election or why we get absolutely nowhere with a party like this?

The political elite protect protect each other when it gets right down to it. Constituents be damned.

Chambliss is nothing more than another corrupt Washington insider from the band of criminals in that cesspool.

Republicans will assist the dems in the whitewash. They'll do some horse trading, and possibly get some budget concessions for it. But having it come to light that Obama let people die to get reelected won't get out because they remember the Clinton mess and it would be too destabilizing. It's like 9/11. No blame was assigned, so history will repeat itself.
