The recent release of the Benghazi emails has Democrats scurrying for cover from the political fallout and in doing so, many are showing their true colors.
Former National Security Council (NSC) spokesman Tommy Vietor spoke with Fox News’ Bret Baier on Thursday and downplayed the seriousness of the emails that has rocked the political establishment. When asked about details pertaining to his own involvement in altering the Benghazi talking points to pain President Obama in a more-favorable light, the former Obama staffer flippantly replied, “Dude, this was like two years ago.”
What was top Senate Democrat Harry Reid’s response? On Friday, the surly Senate Majority Leader stated,
“Republicans are showing yet again that they have nothing to offer the middle class. Republicans care more about defending billionaires like the Koch brothers and trying to rekindle debunked right-wing conspiracy theories than raising the minimum wage or ensuring women receive equal pay for equal work.”
“These actions are not a responsible approach to congressional oversight, they continue a trend of generating unnecessary conflict for the sake of publicity, and they are shockingly disrespectful to the Secretary of State,” Cummings stated in response to Kerry’s subpoena.
I suspect something like Holder's Fast and Furious, Leland Yee's little maneuver out in Calif. There's no doubt we are arming our enemies. How hard, how fast, how completely are the questions to be answered.
Tommy Vietor: Yo, dude! The middle east is blowing up and we get to man the Situation Room tonight!
Ben Rhodes: Bitchin,' dude!
Isn't the illegal transfer of manpads to the Syrian rebels (AQ)set up by the CIA, approved by the State Dept and WH bad enough?
...and to boot committee leadership in both parties knew about it...
The one and only question is:
Is the Republican leadership willing to have a few important heads roll to bring down the whole canard of democrat lies and corruption.... ???
Time will tell...
Dirty Harry is just obsessed with the Koch brothers. He’s just a certified nut in my opinion.
Depends on what the definition of "we" is...
A bunch of low information voters, er, demoncrats, in NYC voted her in (NY 12th district, East side of Manhattan, Greenpoint section of Brooklyn, a chunk of the South Bronx...)
The face belongs to Carolyn Maloney (D-NY); her husband is an investment banker.
That would be the NSA Dude wouldn't it?
Shhhhh, be vewy quiet. We're being hunted wike wabbits.
The RATS are apoplectic because they thought they had already put the lid on Benghazi.
I’ve got news for Elijah (who belongs in a padded room), it’s impossible to be disrespectful to a person who participated in Vietnam war protests while still officially in the Navy and meeting with the enemy in Paris.
John Kerry deserves no respect from any American.
this is what bothers me most...
“people dont care” they say.
is this the litmus test for an investigation now?
if the neighborhood doesnt care about a local murder just close the case. really?
As horrendously treasonous as Jane Fonda was, John Kerry was arguably worse.
Fonda was an air-headed Hollywood brat, but Kerry was a commissioned officer who had to know exactly what he was doing.
They are both traitors and Kerry IMHO is the vilest of the two.
Well said, they’re both traitors and Kerry is the vilest, a man without honor.
Jane Fonda Broadcast from Hanoi, August 22 1972

[Radio Hanoi attributes talk on DRV visit to Jane Fonda; from Hanoi in English to American
servicemen involved in the Indochina War, 1 PM GMT, 22 August 1972. Text: Here’s Jane Fonda
telling her impressions at the end of her visit to the Democratic Republic of Vietnam; (follows recorded female voice with American accent);]
This is Jane Fonda. During my two week visit in the Democratic Republic of Vietnam, I’ve had the
opportunity to visit a great many places and speak to a large number of people from all walks of
life-workers, peasants, students, artists and dancers, historians, journalists, film actresses, soldiers,
militia girls, members of the women’s union, writers.
I visited the (Dam Xuac) agricultural coop, where the silk worms are also raised and thread is made. I visited a textile factory, a kindergarten in Hanoi. The beautiful Temple of Literature was where I saw traditional dances and heard songs of resistance. I also saw unforgettable ballet about the guerrillas training bees in the south to attack enemy soldiers. The bees were danced by women, and they did their job well.
In the shadow of the Temple of Literature I saw Vietnamese actors and actresses perform the second act of Arthur Miller’s play All My Sons, and this was very moving to me-the fact that artists here are translating and performing American plays while US imperialists are bombing their country.
I cherish the memory of the blushing militia girls on the roof of their factory, encouraging one of their
sisters as she sang a song praising the blue sky of Vietnam-these women, who are so gentle and
poetic, whose voices are so beautiful, but who, when American planes are bombing their city, become such good fighters.
I cherish the way a farmer evacuated from Hanoi, without hesitation, offered me, an American, their
best individual bomb shelter while US bombs fell near by. The daughter and I, in fact, shared the
shelter wrapped in each others arms, cheek against cheek. It was on the road back from Nam Dinh, where I had witnessed the systematic destruction of civilian targets-schools, hospitals, pagodas, the factories, houses, and the dike system.
As I left the United States two weeks ago, Nixon was again telling the American people that he was winding down the war, but in the rubble-strewn streets of Nam Dinh, his words echoed with sinister (words indistinct) of a true killer. And like the young Vietnamese woman I held in my arms clinging to me tightly-and I pressed my cheek against hers-I thought, this is a war against Vietnam perhaps, but the tragedy is America’s.
One thing that I have learned beyond a shadow of a doubt since I’ve been in this country is that Nixon will never be able to break the spirit of these people; he’ll never be able to turn Vietnam, north and south, into a neo-colony of the United States by bombing, by invading, by attacking in any way. One has only to go into the countryside and listen to the peasants describe the lives they led before the revolution to understand why every bomb that is dropped only strengthens their determination to resist.
I’ve spoken to many peasants who talked about the days when their parents had to sell themselves to landlords as virtually slaves, when there were very few schools and much illiteracy, inadequate medical care, when they were not masters of their own lives.
But now, despite the bombs, despite the crimes being created-being committed against them by
Richard Nixon, these people own their own land, build their own schools-the children learning, literacy- illiteracy is being wiped out, there is no more prostitution as there was during the time when this was a French colony. In other words, the people have taken power into their own hands, and they are controlling their own lives.
And after 4,000 years of struggling against nature and foreign invaders-and the last 25 years, prior to the revolution, of struggling against French colonialism-I don’t think that the people of Vietnam are about to compromise in any way, shape or form about the freedom and independence of their country, and I think Richard Nixon would do well to read Vietnamese history, particularly their poetry, and particularly the poetry written by Ho Chi Minh.

Is the Copt who made the video still behind bars?
I would not want to enter into a debate about
who is the most vile, John Kerry, or Jane Fonda?
That would be like trying to pick up a turd from the clean end.
He’s apparently out on probation...
Slavery was 150 years ago but that black racists can’t stop talking about it.
