Rand Paul: Benghazi Was the "Worst Tragedy Since 9/11"

**kuronosan** · 2013-05-09 10:07

Is there a story or link to go along with this bump?

**Plow** · 2013-05-09 10:22

er, google benghazi?

it was like 8 hours of harassing 3 guys that were directly involved, I'm legitimately wondering if anybody noticed anything interesting about it that I didn't catch, cuz as far as I can tell after the repubs hyping it up for a week to the extent that even msnbc was making kind of a big deal about it, it appears to literally have been absolutely nothing new or unexpected

You got 5 minutes to post something substantial Plow or you get an infraction for necro-bumping. You just acted like you just registered today.

I would concede that as a valid post if not for Fox being the first link.

edit: ahh boo now it's showing a different one, http://www.nytimes.com/2013/05/09/us...pagewanted=all

the fox one was just the first result when I posted before

and uh, yeah, test, everybody heard rand's bullshit and nobody cares, I just asked in this thread because it's a repeat of the same thing and didn't seem worthy of a new one...

thanks for reposting a video that's in the op, though...

here's the first part of yesterday

Sure Sure ;D

I've said it before, the republicans are terrified that their image of being "Strong on Defense" has completely and utterly vanished, thanks to the strength and aggression of Obama and the complete and utter failure of W. Bush.

That's why they're trying to hype this, but nobody is buying into it except the die-hard republicans.

Yeah, I'm listening to the whole thing now, realizing that the shit fox was cutting out was pretty much just anything that went against their narrative. And the "whistleblowers" are just the only people they could find that would agree with it.

I wish that picture was circulating on Facebook..

**BaneTheBrawler** · 2013-05-10 01:01

Next time my conservatard friend posts something anti-obama, I'll post that for him instead of the "Thanks Obama" gifs I've been putting on all his political posts for the last 2 months. Maybe some of my other friends will share it, and you'll get your wish.

**archibaldcrane** · 2013-05-10 01:56

Not sure, but I think he was joking, I've seen it on fb a few times now.

**BaneTheBrawler** · 2013-05-10 02:42

Well that's no fun.

It does not address other criticisms such as:

Blaming it on a video, not terrorism; or
Denying security, yet making sure the US Italian embassy gets electric plug-ins.

Regardless of whether you agree with those points, not that I would ever think anyone bg does agree, you should at present more intelligent arguments.

**Helm** · 2013-05-10 10:12

Ughhh.

**archibaldcrane** · 2013-05-10 11:10

You realize that the whole "was it because of a protest or was it terrorism" has been settled since like 2 weeks after the incident, right? It's not a point of contention, noone has claimed it was a runaway protest for half a year now.

**archibaldcrane** · 2013-05-10 11:14

The point is there was inadequate security at MANY embassy attacks over the past decade (especially at the Benghazi and Saudi Arabia attacks) but Benghazi is the only one where you see Republicans in hysterics saying completely retarded shit like "worst thing since 9/11."
