Benghazi -- No Mere 'October Surprise'

In September 2004, former CBS titan Dan Rather gambled his entire career on a story about Bush's service in the National Guard. (The truth about this was exposed here at Free Republic, and brought down Rath^er and forever caued his name to be posted as I just did)

His instincts were so powerful, he didn't thoroughly check the documents he relied on, which were forgeries.

In 2008, the media feeding frenzy over John McCain's running mate, Sarah Palin, was so ludicrous it belonged in a Tom Wolfe novel. Over the last couple of years, the mainstream media has generally treated Occupy Wall Street as idealistic, the "tea parties" as racist and terrifying.

Speaking of media frenzy, it's interesting that when something true is exposed that shows leftists up for who they are, it's hysteria:

To be sure, there have been conservative feeding frenzies: about Barack Obama's pastor, John Kerry's embellishments of his war record, etc. But the mainstream media usually has tasked itself with the duty of debunking and dispelling such "hysteria."

And the media hardly had a media frenzy, they only reported on those matters to try to make them trivial.

they pleaded for support during the attack on the Benghazi consulate that led to the deaths of four Americans, including U.S. Ambassador Christopher Stevens. They were allegedly told twice to "stand down." Worse, there are suggestions that there were significant military resources available to counterattack, but requests for help were denied.

If true, the White House's concerted effort to blame the attack on a video crumbles, as do several other fraudulent claims. Yet, last Friday, the president boasted that "the minute I found out what was happening" in Benghazi, he ordered that everything possible be done to protect our personnel. That is either untrue, or he's being disobeyed on grave matters.

Allegedly, suggestions, if true. BS words, it's true.

Only Obama could have given (or allowed someone to) the order to stand down.

Liar and a traitor.

And Panetta's weasel words make tea party conservatives see that he is a lying traitor too.

...on NBC's "Meet the Press," host David Gregory shushed a guest when she tried to bring up the subject, saying, "Let's get to Libya a little bit later."

Gregory never did get back to Benghazi.

Gregory is a poor excuse for a human being.

Of course he has to divert from the truth getting out, otherwise his invitations from Obama to go to the bath house with him will stop.

Johah Golberg has sold out, jumped the shark big time. What a tool
