Hillary Clinton releases first national ad; attacks Republicans for Benghazi investigation
American Thinker ^ | 10/07/2015 | Rick Moran

Posted on 10/07/2015 6:49:03 AM PDT by SeekAndFind

Hillary Clinton's first national TV ad goes after Republicans for their "partisan" investigation into the attack on our diplomatic compound in Benghazi.The ad uses a bonehead statement by Rep. Kevin McCarthy, who is running for Speaker, hinting that one of the reasons for Hillary's falling poll nunbers is what the Benghazi Committee has exposed.

A new ad released by the campaign on Monday evening features a clip of House Majority Leader Kevin McCarthy (R-Calif.) giving the special House panel credit for damaging Clinton's poll numbers.

The 30-second spot is the first one the campaign is running nationally on cable television, underscoring the political gold mine that Clinton's team senses in McCarthy’s comments. 

“The Republicans finally admit it,” a male narrator says in the video before a clip of McCarthy’s comments.

“Republicans have spent millions to attack Hillary because she’s fighting for everything they oppose.”

The ad on Monday came after Clinton went on the offensive over Republicans' investigation of the Benghazi attack.

In a nationally televised town hall earlier in the day, Clinton accused Republicans of exploiting the four Americans killed in Libya in 2012 merely to knock down her presidential campaign.

“Look at the situation they chose to exploit, to go after me for political reasons, the death of four Americans in Benghazi,” she said.

The ad also comes just more than two weeks ahead of Clinton’s appearance in a public hearing of the Benghazi panel.

In turning the tables on House Republicans, Clinton is seeking to get out from under questions about her use of a private email server while secretary of State — which the Benghazi committee helped to reveal — and instead set the tone for her Oct. 22 appearance before the committee.

She lied about Benghazi to cover up the fact that her boss and she deliberately did nothing while bearded savages were murdering Americans.

It is not the Benghazi investigation—it is the email investigation. Misdirection as usual.

Blame a school massacre on a gun.
Blame a church massacre on a gun.
Blame a Jihadi attack upon US military on US soil to “workplace violence.”
Blame the Benghazi slaughter on a video.
Blame “politics”.
Anyone see a pattern here?
Blaming inanimate objects and concepts. Don’t blame anything on the people who do wrong, and their STATED purpose.

God forbid we offend anyone whose sole purpose is to kill us.

This is the exact tricks used in all of their business ‘dealings’ when they get caught...

It was those darn women that wanted Mr.Clinton so bad, of course it wasn't him that went after them...

It wasn't her that lied and was fired from her first job in the White House, it was that somehow someone misunderstood what she said...

It wasn't her that was in Benghazi smuggling guns to Sryia and it certainly wasn't her that set up how many email servers now to conduct ‘private’ information on our country, it was the people that were protecting the servers...

It wasn't the fact that she has blood on her hands from the 4 killed in Benghazi that the ‘republicans’ are investigating this scheme that the person she worked for , obuma, is at fault...

Nothing she does is ever her fault, you see, she's just as innocent as a new born lamb...

It's about time for her to be investigated, found guilty, tried and sent to Prison, and she can take her sex offender husband with her....

Maybe I’m being overly optimistic here, but this could backfire on Hillary. It might cause a lot of people who haven’t taken an interest in the Benghazi issue to pay closer attention to the upcoming hearings so they can see for themselves what really happened in the Benghazi terrorist attack.

I got a wonderful new phrase yesterday from you Freepers.

Cunning runt. I still turn red. LOL

However, I hope I am wrong, but the college kids I talk to think she is like a Goddess of Goodness. Especially the women, just gaga over her.

Stay home kids on election day.....

“she’s never fully explained her role,”

Hillary planned it.

Obama’s version of the “spontaneous” lie was supposed to be the airline plot several months before Benghazi.

The AP derailed Obama’s attempt at the “spontaneous” lie because in his version he left himself open for reelection.

In Hillary’s version of the “spontaneous” lie with Benghazi, Obama wasn’t supposed to be reelected.

This would have allowed Hillary to run against Romney in 2016 and not run following the Obama disaster of a presidency.

Well gee, she opened a can of campaign ad worms.

The amount of horrifying info not told to Americans by their news media covering for her and this administration can now be blasted in ads.....leaving the administration, Clinton and the media on defensive and answering for the cover up and horror. Sadly there is only one candidate brash enough to even think about answering with fire and he is no conservative but it would make for some great drama.

Ah , let me guess it's that vast right wing conspiracy again. I can hear her screeching now

"Those mean and evil Republicans are trying to make Benghazi about four people who died, that's outrageous! Anyone with half a brain can see that I'm the victim here, wah, wah, wah."

I saw Kevin McCarthy’s comments on the Benghazi Committee. Is this guy for real? He is a real moron and he’s running for speaker. We just got rid of one drunken fool and now we might end up with a moron as speaker. Aren’t there any competent politicians out there. Or is it that the words politician and competent are mutually exclusive.

Trump should respond with:
“Where was Hillary Clinton and obama during the attack?
Why was no help sent to the Americans being attacked?
Why were the terrorists given weapons by obama with Clintons approval?
Why the lies about the video while talking next to dead and their families? etc

That should shut her up.
For awhile.
