WASHINGTON -- Even though their key charges have been refuted - some by their own members - House Republicans announced Friday they’ll seek to form a select committee to investigate the 2012 terrorist attacks on the U.S. mission and CIA annex in Benghazi, Libya, trying anew to reap political gains in advance of this year’s congressional elections and the 2016 presidential contest.

Everything is political with these people,
because it is how THEY work.

The political battle over Benghazi is now primarily about Hillary for President in 2016.

This select committee should have been done on 09/12/2012.

I noticed the story seems to take extra special care to avoid mentioning that.

The Nazi swine, William and Jonathan at the Sacramento BS “newspaper,” tell us that all is lost, surrender immediately and obey your purse-carrying masters.

Geez.

“Even thought their key charges have been refuted....” If the press prints a lie and states it as fact, it is fact to the masses.

I’d love to revue the Bee’s panicked stories about (gasp) the ‘outing of Valerie Plame’. Do we doubt the priorities of the Press and the rest of Big Media?? I think not. It’s the Obama Way or the tar pits for you!

In addition to this being a lie, it is a variation of a logical fallacy called appeal to authority. This variation of that logical fallacy assumes the third person however and some unnamed expert establishes the issue.

The first present day Liberal, Karl Marx, was famous for his logical fallacies (see Karl Marx, Racist by Nathaniel Weyl).

I have a liberal "friend" on Facebook, so I get her "likes". One of them is a Bill Moyers site.

Good God the insanity!

One article talks about not only is Benghazi a "nothingburger" but under George Bush, Valerie Plame "could have been killed!".

Yes, they went there.

4 people killed at Benhazi, and a low level already self outed CIA liberal puke "could" have been killed.

THAT'S the Left.<[p> Oh, and Koch brothers, Halliburton, Bush lied, homophobia.

Forgot those "rebuttals" because they are so convincing.

My question for the Sac Bee: in the first sentence you claim that the investigation is "already refuted".

Really, by what reporters at the Sac Bee? What hard core shoe leather reporter has been doggedly pursuing this? And what did they find?

Show us the "refuted" evidence that you dug up.
