GOP Benghazi hearing stokes political controversy

WASHINGTON (AP) — House Republicans who insist the Obama administration is covering up information about last year's deadly assault in Libya say their goal is to get answers.

Rep. Darrell Issa, chairman of the Oversight and Government Reform Committee, said Wednesday that the three State Department witnesses at the hearing deserve to be heard.

The Sept. 11 attack at the U.S. diplomatic mission in Benghazi, Libya, killed U.S. ambassador Chris Stevens and three other Americans.

(Nearly eight months later, Republicans continue to investigate despite an exhaustive independent review and hours of testimony from senior administration officials.)

Why does the media try to make it sound like its a “Republican” vendetta, when it is only about getting the truth out. If the truth would have been clear “a long-time-ago” then we would be calling Mitt Romney, Mr. President!

They “insist that their goal is to get answers...”

means

there is clearly doubt as to their claim.

Leave it in the minds of the reader that
this may be purely cynical politics.

Typical communist media.

Decades of relativist, Godless education has
succeeded. It has created a apathetic public
obsessed with orgasms, money, breasts, feelings,
anything that is immediately perceived with the
senses.

Truth, honor, justice, American idealism.

No, can’t put your pecker in it.

AP Labels Official House Benghazi Hearings as 'GOP Hearing'
On Wednesday, the Associated Press mischaracterized the Benghazi hearings as merely a Republican event, even though it is an official House committee investigation.

In the headline of its report, the Associated Press downplayed the official hearings of the House Oversight and Government Reform Committee--that has both Democrats and Republicans on it--into the failures surrounding the 2012 attacks on our embassy personnel in Benghazi, Libya. The AP characterized the official hearings as "GOP hearings," making the proceedings seem like a mere political witch-hunt.

So, the media is making the story about Republicans who decided to hold the hearing rather than the testimony of the witnesses and the information obtained during the investigative hearing.

Quite extraordinary how dishonest the media has become.

An exhaustive independent review by government hacks who are joined at the hip with the entire liberal establishment in Washington D.C. Who are we kidding here? They’re in all out protection mode of Hillary for 2016.

Yeah, like there is not difference between Republicans and Democrats! Seems that one wants to cover up the facts and the other wants to uncover the facts... Seems like a grand compromise in in the works.

Biden said about Rice:

“When she speaks…no one wonders whether or not she is speaking for the president,”............ the vice president said at a gala for the Joint Center for Political and Economic Studies, which honored Rice with an award Tuesday night.”

But you should see the front page picture on the Washington Post today. Very big, color, camera looking past Hicks in the foreground to focus on the faces of two female relatives of those killed in Bengazi. They look to be of Hispanic or Asian background; the sorrow, concern and betrayal written on their faces is as powerful as any photo I’ve seen in a very long time.

Did you say Farter ?

I guess it operates on the unique sound of a fart.

The whoopee clapper.
