Sorry, Nancy: We're not going to stop asking about the Benghazi lies

Who's obsessed?

Poor Nancy Pelosi! She is very upset because Republicans won’t stop talking about Benghazi. Of course, whenever Nancy Pelosi says anything, you know it’s something Democrats have decided behind the scenes to repeat because they think it will help them win the news cycle.

As the Benghazi story continues to get worse for Democrats, as Rob told us yesterday with his look at now-released e-mails that prove the whole YouTube video story was a phony and politically motivated cover-up, their agreed-upon talking point is that Republicans are “obsessed with Benghazi.”

That’s usually what people say when they’re desperate to sweep something under the rug and you won’t let them do it.

So no, Republicans won’t stop talking about Benghazi, because four Americans died in an attack that the White House and the State Department lied about – both in terms of what caused it and in terms of what could and should have been done to save those people’s lives.

A devastating exchange in the House yesterday, between Republican Congressman Jason Chavetz and Air Force Brig. Gen. Robert Lowell, demonstrates just what a true scandal this really is:

Well, there is another scandal. It’s not just that we didn’t do what we should have done to protect our people. And it’s not just that they lied by trying to blame the whole thing on a YouTube video when they knew that wasn’t the truth.

It’s that they’re so desperate to change the subject now, even to the point of mocking those who still think we need to talk about it, all because the conversation makes them look bad.

Let’s remember what really drove all this. It was September 2012, in the heat of the presidential campaign between Barack Obama and Mitt Romney, and the Obama campaign had been insisting it had Al Qaeda on the run. If they admitted Al Qaeda was behind the attack on Benghazi, it would have undercut their campaign narrative. And if they had admitted the State Department dropped the ball on security at the consulate, it would have undercut the credibility of its leading candidate for the presidency in 2016 – Hillary Clinton.

That’s why they came up with this nonsense about the YouTube video, even making a big show of arresting the video’s creator after Hillary shamelessly told families of the victims he would be “brought to justice,” as if that was what they were looking for.

And that’s why, when challenged on all this several months later, Hillary shrieked, “What difference, at this point, does it make?”

This was all driven by Democrat Party politics. Every bit of it. And that’s what’s driving their claim today that Republicans are merely obsessed with Benghazi for no good reason.

Sorry. This matters. And the more we learn about how cynical this cover-up was, the more determined and pointed the questions are going to be. You don’t get to lie to the American people and then mock the people who hold you accountable for it.

Not only aren’t we going to stop, this should, by all rights, lead to the impeachment AND CONVICTION of Barak Hussein Obama and his removal from office.

Not only is she ugly. She's very evil and her constituents are stupid and ignorant, or they wouldn't keep voting her in.

She could lay on her deathbed and declare that she would run for her 100th term and her stupid constituents would still vote for her

And that arrogant pos occupant of 1600 Pennsylvania Ave wants to hand it back to her. Why do you think he is going to let 200,000 felons go?

Think about it.

No surprise there, dumb-o-crats rely on dead voters voting for them already.

This pig came into her speakership after the entire democrat campaign machine ran against Marc Foley in almost every district. She has the nerve to feign outrage at the current quest to get the facts regarding administration indifference to the deaths of Americans it sent abroad.

That is why I can’t understand why the non redacted memo was released.

Something is up. There is no chance that Larry Clayman and Judicial Watch were just given this info. No chance.
