Still waiting for the conservatives to call for Jonathan Karl to be fired. And for the investigation of the republicans who lied to the American people about the e-mails. ***crickets***

Its utterly astonishing to sit back and watch bound and determined partisan drones argue, wrangle, and spew venom over already established facts and documentary evidence that, for any truly educated and intellectually honest adult should, at this point, be discussed as little more than common knowledge.

True, all the evidence is not yet in, and won't be for some time, but the established facts of the case, plus the empirical documentation now available combined with the personal testimony of major actors in the events surrounding the Benghazi terrorist attacks leave no room for the kinds of wagon-circling being engaged in by Obama's dutiful sycophants.

Disagree if you will, but at least some degree of intellectual integrity is required for there to be any marketplace of ideas at all, let alone serious discourse within it.

Who lied? The Weekly Standard scoop stands as is, and its revelations and analysis are unimpeachable, at least at this juncture.

"At least at this juncture" = Droopy has made up his mind and will put his fingers in his ears and yell LA LA LA if anyone tries to discuss new information.

TL/DR: Droopy stepped on his dick and doesn't want to talk about it.

The fact of the matter is, in any case, that your side has already lost this entire argument in toto, and you lost it from the outset.

Your argument is lost. Obama, Hillery, Rice et al own this debacle from stem to stern. I predicted long ago, as did many conservative public intellectuals, that a foreign policy disaster something very much like this, given Obama's clownish amateurism in dealing with national security and foreign policy issues, would eventually hoist Obama's petard, and the petard of his administration. That time has come.

Benghazi is rapidly becoming this terms version of Birtherism. That's a shame as it deflects attention from actual problems with the Obama admin.

Droopy, your side lied. This is what the evidence proves. You had to make up crap that never existed in the emails in order to support your scandal theory. So, you lost on all counts.

What's worse, you proved you have no credibility because you are never willing to admit being wrong, no matter how much of an open and shut case it is. The FOX shows today are talking about other things while MSNBC is making fun of the fact that the Right Wing was relying on lies this whole time. But that's just par for the course. This is what you do.

The Republicans who were given access to these emails, lied and flat out misrepresented what those emails said. These so-called "summaries" have been the basis for your stupid scandal theories, and now that they've been shot out of the water, you have nothing left. If you think you do, then please, do tell, what is it?

Where is the "scandal" here?

I've already shot down bcspace's recent talking points, revealing he hasn't even bothered to read the emails. Now let's see if you're dumb enough to provide a similar list of things that prove a "scandal."
