Eagan: Hillary Clinton is so over Benghazi thing
Boston Herald ^ | June 1, 2014 | by Margery Eagan

Posted on 06/01/2014 7:52:59 AM PDT by Oldeconomybuyer

One great big GOP/Fox News rebuke.

That’s the early word on Hillary Clinton’s Benghazi explanation in her new book, “Hard Choices,” out on June 10.

She’s “defiant,” not “defensive.”

She blames her Ben-ghazi critics for exploiting the “tragedy over and over as a political tool” against her that has nothing to do with justice for the four Americans who died there.

Since that’s an accurate summation of Republicans’ cynical agenda on Benghazi — and since an awful lot of Americans can see that clearly — I’d say those who think Ben-ghazi will sink Clinton in 2016, well, they better think again.

It’s not happening.

She’s got her well-oiled talking points down.

And the GOP’s endless outrage looks phonier every day.

Tommy Dude looks exactly like a creation from Madame Tussauds Wax Museum.

This nobody will now find fame and fortune as a Hillary flack and apologist.

The same person who wrote this....

In your column, “It’s time to scrap the St. Patrick’s Day Parade,” you wrote among other objectionable things: Not a single politician should march.

Nobody should, actually, save for maybe John “Wacko” Hurley and his pathetic band of Allied War Veterans, whose parade glorifies warfare at a time when veterans and most of America — after 11 years of bloodshed — want nothing more than peace.

“Pathetic band of Allied War Veterans”?

Really? “Whose parade glorifies war”? Really? - See more at:

Here are two important blog posts from Sept. 11th 2012 and Sept. 12th 2012. Both are left-leaning but they expose what was going on behind the scenes to promote the "Youtube video" propaganda.

Obscure Film Mocking Muslim Prophet Sparks Anti-U.S. Protests in Egypt and Libya
By ROBERT MACKEY and LIAM STACK September 11, 2012, 7:25 pm

(notice the time stamps both of the original posting and the updates)

A Timeline Of The Attacks In Libya And Egypt -- And The Responses
Brian Beutler – September 12, 2012, 8:50 PM EDT

(his posting was intended to buttress the phony "Youtube video" lie but it also exposes the exact timeline of the tweets from the Cairo embassy, the State Dept. and Hillary Clinton herself making apologies for the "Youtube video.")

Sept. 11

In anticipation of the ensuing uproar, the U.S. embassy in Cairo issues a statement at 6:17 a.m. ET, according to State Department officials, condemning all attempts to "abuse" free speech rights to offend people of any religion.

The Embassy of the United States in Cairo condemns the continuing efforts by misguided individuals to hurt the religious feelings of Muslims - as we condemn efforts to offend believers of all religions. Today, the 11th anniversary of the September 11, 2001 terrorist attacks on the United States, Americans are honoring our patriots and those who serve our nation as the fitting response to the enemies of democracy. Respect for religious beliefs is a cornerstone of American democracy. We firmly reject the actions by those who abuse the universal right of free speech to hurt the religious beliefs of others.

“But, in a debate scenario, she won’t be able to effectively counter a righteous opposing candidate’s sustained attack against her on the real points of Benghazi, even with complicity from the likes of Candy Crowley or other lap dogs.”

True, and any possible GOP presidential candidate who would not do this is not qualified to be the candidate.

How many Clinton scandals have we thought - “surely they can’t survive this one!” Only to weather the storm?

Bingo. Hillary will just keep going and the MSM will roll a revised version of "It's just about sex; let's move on".

Hillary is using Tedddy Kennedy’s Chappaquiddick defense. “How dare the right wing make political hay over the tragic death of a young women/four men!”

Which tells me her defense, worked out over the past nearly two years, is shot full of holes. Like TK, she will need dedicated lie-coverings performed by the media. Will it work again this time? I pray not.

Trey Gowdy could achieve heroic status during these hearings.

But what if Hillary announces, “F*** off, Republicans! I’m not appearing before your stinking committee so go bleep yourselves!”

Could she get away with it? Real question.

Rumor is that Hillary had a breakdown when this happened

Where did you hear that?

I wonder what people like Hillary think about the possibility of judgement after this life is over.

Right. We are talking about Hillary the Great here. Conqueror of Kosovo, Libya, Egypt, Syria and the Ukraine. It is just as likely that she setup Stevens so that Obama would have a major foreign policy failure that would cost him the reelection. Then Romney would have codified Obamacare and Amnesty for the Hildabeast until she reclaimed the throne while still young enough to do something with it. Unfortunately Hillary the Great did not know that Emperor Zero had already sown up the reelection with vote fraud and IRS intimidation.

Kinda like watching a Game of Thrones episode (recently watched a marathon of the first few seasons).

None of them have answered why they ran a disinformation campaign against the nation to intentionally propagate false information.

And knowing it was false information, Hillary lied to the faces of the parents of those heroes killed that day.

The verdict is that she is a liar.

It has nothing to do with republican talking points. It has to do with what happened that day.
