The Real Reason Why Republicans Care About Benghazi

The Real Reason Why Republicans Pretend to Care About Benghazi

Just before this past November’s elections, on September 11, 2012, there was an attack on the American embassy in Benghazi, Libya resulting in 4 American deaths.

This was the moment conservatives had been waiting for, something to spin in order to create some kind of conspiracy hoping to make a last ditch effort to defeat President Obama. They needed this because they damn sure knew Romney couldn’t do it on his own.

What followed was pathetic. “Shocked and appalled” conservatives all across the country trying to make Benghazi into the next Watergate scandal.

They did everything they could to try and muddy the waters just enough to make people think Obama and his administration were generating some elaborate conspiracy to cover up incompetence.

I would elaborate on the “cover up” but the theories vary greatly from Republican to Republican. Even the most vocal critic of Obama’s handling of Benghazi, John McCain, admitted there was indeed no cover up. There’s even the new one where Obama is preventing, and threatening, individuals from testifying about Benghazi—only Republicans seem unable to provide any proof of this. Well, proof that isn’t from right-wing blogs that make up “proof.”

In fact, if you read through all these ridiculous theories (which trust me, you don’t want to do—it’s a mess of “What the hell are these people babbling about?”) their whole “conspiracy” breaks down to 3 key points:

1. Some wording was changed to omit references to a terrorist attack in the original briefing, which as it turned out Obama had nothing to do with.

2. Military forces could have been utilized to possibly save lives. Which the official DoD report details the timeline of the events, clearly showing they acted swiftly but ultimately didn’t have enough time to deploy troops to save the 4 Americans killed during the attack.

3. Hillary Clinton was incompetent in her duty as Secretary of State.

What you didn’t hear mentioned by the likes of Fox News, Glenn Beck, Alex Jones, Rush Limbaugh and their fellow fear mongers was that Congressional Republicans had voted in both 2011 and 2012 to cut funding for embassy security.

Nine months later and you and your silly "news" outlets are still trying to manufacture a scandal. Your so called "whistle-blowers" proved to be so much of an embarrassment to your previous claims, by refuting them, that now you're left with more hyperbole and myth making. Oh so now the proof will be found in unreleased emails? You guys will never quit. You'll never admit being wrong. Essentially lying, is what your preferred outlets do, and I've proven it time and time again. All you can do in return is complain about the refutations coming from "liberals."

Dizzy, He's so dizzy his head is spinnin'
Like a whirlpool it never ends
And its Barry makin' it spin
Cause Kevin's so dizzy

First time he heard him speak, he knew that he just had to be The One
But its so hard to make them see just clingin' to their freedom and their guns
He needs him to be his Lord, but bc thinks he's off his gord
He's going round in circles day by day

Dizzy, He's so dizzy his head is spinnin'
Like a whirlpool it never ends
And its Barry makin' it spin
Cause Kevin's so dizzy

He's the man of rinse and spin and you know he's got the left wing party line
Oh he gulps the Kool-Aid to the dregs he's got Soetoro on his mind
Now he's got control you see, cuz he's so dizzy he can't see
He needs to call a Bishop for some help

Dizzy, He's so dizzy his head is spinnin'
Like a whirlpool it never ends
And its Barry makin' it spin
Cause Kevin's so dizzy
His head is spinning
Like a whirlpool it never ends
And it's Trillions making it spin
Its making him dizzy
Its making him dizzy

Let's try this again. Nine months later you and your silly "news" outlets are still trying to manufacture a scandal. Your so called "whistle-blowers" proved to be so much of an embarrassment to your previous claims, by refuting them, that now you're left with more hyperbole and myth making.

Spinning? You folks are desperately trying to spin a scandal out of nothing.
