... putting Benghazi, the IRS's Tea Party targeting and the Justice Department's leak-hunting seizure of Associated Press phone records in the same basket is like comparing a mirage to a dishwasher to a diamond. There is no common thread.
Benghazi is a scam, not a scandal. It began as a political ploy during the 2012 presidential campaign. Republicans tried to pin a cover-up on the President....
The Justice Department's secret seizure of AP phone records is more a policy dispute than a scandal.....
The irs's targeting of Tea Party groups is, however, an actual full-blown scandal. In fact, it is several scandals. The most obvious one was the lunkheaded effort by midlevel IRS employees....

No common thread, Joe? The common thread is the amateur.
“lunkheaded effort by midlevel IRS employees”
Yeah, just a couple of dopes in Ohio. Riiiiiiiiiight.
Translation: IF ONLY HE WERE A REPUBLICAN!!!!!!!
Poor media. When it comes to White House scandals when a Democrat is in office, it’s like having sex with the hottest girl in school and you can’t tell anyone about it.
-——The common thread is the amateur-——
The common thread is the tyranny.
The tyranny of one so obsessed with power he pays no attention to the law or any restraints . He is not alone in his actions. The whole body must be brought down, destroyed, dumped on the trash pile of History
The next admin or whoever mops up afterwards is effectively both wings clipped, and not able to get off the ground. (to use a metaphor)
Without a government authority (even a limited one as Constitutional conservatives dream about), human civility veneer will show us exactly how skin-deep it is. Dark times ahead. Both here in the States and abroad.
Leaving 30+ Americans to die is just a SCAM?
Hey Joe, tell that to the families of Ambassador Stevens and the other three dead Americans there.
Joe Kline needs to be put in a chair and shown what a Nazis like Obama can do.
Joe Klein, who is so afraid of the democrats and his colleagues that he published his only semi-truthful novel about The Clintons under “anonymous”, comes running to the rescue of those same evil overloards...
Boy you nailed it there!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I bet ALL the media are thinking that: “If only these were Republicans this would make a great story”
Anger + denial. Not a pretty combination.
“The government credibility of the United States has been irreversibly shred to tatters.”

The government lost ALL credibility for me when, still seeing the smoke and smelling the smell of the pile, I heard our President call islam a “religion of peace.”
“lunkheaded effort by midlevel IRS employees....”
No longer “low level”?
Slowly the chaff is winnowed from the wheat.
And, if not for the heroes who IGNORED ORDERS TO STAND DOWN and helped rescue some of them, there would probably be a hell of a lot more than 4 dead in Benghazi

The U.S. is now a global joke.
If a single U.S. ally has confidence in our ability to carry out treaty obligations, it is a miracle.
Thanks “O”! (Actually, thanks to the NEA and MSM which has assured us of this and many future generations of voters who are incapable of thinking past their nose)
While these idiot voters are all collecting their welfare and while the world is hugging itself over our embarassment, just remember... ‘what’s bad for the US is bad for the world... what’s good for the US is good for the world’.
Like it or not, that’s the practical and literal reality of our status in the world, whether we thrive or not!
“Thanks “O”!”

THAT wasn’t the President I was talking about.
Scam, not a scandal. Got it. 4 dead in Ben-Gha-Zi. Foreign terrorist organization behind it. Knew in advance. But it was just a presidential campaign kerfluffle. Nothing to get upset about. No national security risks.
John Kerry told us we'd have to accept a nuisance level of terrorism in the world. Another Rat has said that death is a part of the cycle of life.
