Heritage’s ugly Benghazi panel

The Washington Post ^ | June 16, 2014 | Dana Milbank

[Uncle Miltie]

Women who retain the bonds of slavery in that cult when freedom is before them earn no good will from me.

Grover Norquist?? You really want to go there?

[kabar]

Grover has been an excellent conservative for decades, strongly opposed to growing government and keeping taxes low. Gafney’s baseless attacks on him, which lacked any evidence, proved what an imbecile he is

Grover Norquist is an amnesty supporter and a tool of the corporate class. He is what is wrong with the GOPe. I have dealt with him on the CPAC advisory group on themes and issues for the annual gathering in DC. He is an arrogant a$$hole who needs to be exposed for the damage he is doing to the American worker.

[kabar]

Irrelevant and certainly an ugly tone.

I have only read Milbank's account. What exactly was irrelevant? Didn't the audience respond to her statement that, “We portray Islam and all Muslims as bad, but there’s 1.8 billion followers of Islam,” she told them. “We have 8 million-plus Muslim Americans in this country and I don’t see them represented here.”

One 'man''s "ugly" is another man's beautiful truth.

If this Benghazi panel had been a panel about say ... Gitmo, Abu Ghraib or yellowcake from Niger ... intrepid Dana would have been extolling the courage and boldness of the panel's straight talk.

He engages in this pathetic limp-wristed handwringing only because it exposes the truth of his liberal pal's coverup of their own obstruction of justice.

The ugly, Dana, is Four Dead In Benghazi. Without justice.

Chris Plante is giving his version of what happened right now. By coincidence, the day before, Media Matters commented on the upcoming panel at Heritage and denounced it. It sounds like this woman was sent as an agent provocateur. The woman has her own website and is a lobbyist. She ran for Congress in Oregon. Worked on the staff of Patrick Leahy.

Milbank also added Hitler (never mentioned) and left out many comments that were made. Why was Milbank there?

[don-o]

Thanks for the heads up on that. Have Plante on right now.

"We portray Islam and all Muslims as bad, but there’s 1.8 billion followers of Islam,” she told them. “We have 8 million-plus Muslim Americans in this country and I don’t see them represented here.”

Let's get Congressman Lt. Colonel Alan West's rejoinder to this stale, repudiated, discredited crap about 'moderate' Islam ...

It's the truth! It's out there! 622 A.D. on. The Nahkla Raid. It didn't happen? 628 the Battle of Qādisiyyah 3,000 Jewish families slaughtered. 732 A.D. Battle of Tours {unintelligible} {applause} 1671 {LOUD APPLAUSE} {unintelligible} 1693 {more applause} Islam {unintelligible} Mohammed's first wife. Something happened when Mohammed enacted the Hijrah. And he left Mecca and he went out to Medina. It became violent. Now you explain it to me. Major Hassan was shouting 'Allāhu Akbar.' The people who flew those planes into those buildings shouting 'Allāhu Akbar.' I've been on the battlefield my friend. Ok? Don't try to blow sunshine up my butt and tell me its warm and fuzzy. {APPLAUSE}

You attacked us! You attacked us!" {unintelligible} I went to Muslim countries to defend the freedom of Muslim people! Don't come up here and try to criticize me! Put the microphone down and go home!

For one, his ridiculous vandetta against Grover Norquist because of a choice Grover made.

Grover has been an excellent conservative for decades, strongly opposed to growing government and keeping taxes low.

Grover Norquist ping ....

[9YearLurker]

Norquist is an embarrassing pox on American conservatism. At least we know where you’re coming from.

[don-o]

Chris Plante inviting Dana to call in.

[peeps36]

If she was a Christian in the moslum world she would have been gang raped and murdered for asking a question.

[Servant of the Cross]

Norquist is an embarrassing pox on American conservatism. At least we know where you’re coming from.

True dat. Plenty of FR threads which expose Grover's decidedly non-conservative treachery. Here's a good one ...

Congressman Frank R. Wolf, Republican from Virginia District 10, has gone to the floor of the House of Representatives and taken Norquist to task ...

[don-o]

Where did you go? We can have that discussion about your guy, Grover.

[AmericanVictory]

Chris is playing the actual audio. Milbank’s account is not truthful according to the actual audio. I’m shocked, I tell you, shocked! Milbank also, according to the audio, misrepresented what Bridgette Gabriel said, whom he snarkily referred to as “born a Christian.”

[don-o]

Chris is burning Dana down!

[Servant of the Cross]

Where did you go? We can have that discussion about your guy, Grover.

Weeeeellllllll ..... we're waiting!

[Republicanprofessor]

Thanks don-o.

Benghazi ping. Let Republicanprofessor know if you want on or off this ping list.

[9YearLurker]

Could that be this Saba Ahmed?
