Spitting on Their Graves: Democrats Leave Benghazi Hearing Before Testimony From Families of Victims

During the second portion of a House Oversight and Government Reform hearing about Benghazi Thursday on Capitol Hill, the majority of Democrats on the Committee left the room and refused to listen to the testimony of Patricia Smith and Charles Woods. Ms. Smith is the mother of Sean Smith, an information management officer killed in the 9/11 Benghazi attack. Charles Woods is the father of Navy SEAL Tyrone Woods, who was also killed.

"God comfort these families in their loss, and please dear Lord, raise up leaders who will expose the truth regarding their deaths and bring justice to the killers and ALL those who consorted with or covered up their activities."

Tammy Duckworth is PROOF the Democrats use military veterans... especially wounded veterans... as political window dressing.

Even when she was there, all she did was ask "questions" that defended Pickering and Mullen. It was repulsive.

I'm not sure if anyone else remembers, but her story was more-or-less released to the public at large in a fairly slick package that made her very appealing. Even Laura Ingraham interviewed her, and as there was a great deal of patriotic feeling and love for all things military at the time, she was very much a "feel good" hero.

I got a heads-up on her through an acquaintance that I met at a soldiers' families support group meeting, and I did not want to believe it. (I can be a real sap.) She is intelligent and knows how to play the game, but it is unfortunate that her proclivities have come to full fruition. There is never any shortage of effective people who turn to the dark side, and she willingly took the bait that the Dems dangled in front of her.

In short, I would trust her about as far as I could throw John McCain or John Kerry, but even I was surprised at her callousness in this instance.

This needs to be made into a campaign ad for the Republicans. These dirt bag Democrats need to be pounded with this.

" If committee members wish to participate in the hearings, they must hear all questions and testimony or none. Imagine jurors coming and going at will during a trial."

Good point - hadn't thought of jurors just coming and going at will.

I used to assume that with the voluntary military if someone had enough character to join, they’d NEVER be attracted to the lies of the Democrats.

Opps, well all us Irish look alike...

No, just all liberal trash looks alike
