I would think that if there are so many lies and the extent of slander being spewed by FOX that there is the potential for the government to bring a lawsuit or investigate who their "unnamed sources/officals" are. What you have single-handedly revealed to the world and "debunking Republicans" is based on unnamed official sources. Holds as much water and credibility as the unnamed officials sources that FOX uses. You cannot claim your unnamed sources/officials discounts what other unnamed sources/officials say. 1+1=2.

hotair2 can not debunk anyone by his immature name calling! Just ignore his childish remarks or comments! FOX wouldn't be in the position they are in, if they weren't "fair and balance"! They just want to inform the American people with the facts and truths! JMHO and I don't care what anyone thinks! It's just inappropriate when people resort to name calling on an open public forum!

Military Contractor Gets Away With Electrocuting American Soldier In Iraq

"On January 2, 2008, Staff Sgt. Ryan Maseth died in Iraq after being electrocuted by his shower. It was, according to the medical reports, a slow and painful death. The water pump was not grounded and, when it shorted, the electricity flowed through the pipes and water to kill Sgt. Maseth."

"This is not an uncommon event in Iraq and Afghanistan where hundreds have experienced shocks and at least twelve have died in showers built by Haliburton subsidiary, KBR. Haliburton and KBR “won” the no-bid contracts for troop support in the two war zones under the Bush administration. "

I still believe there should be a thorough investigation, but it is clear to me that the Republicans used the attack on the consulate in Benghazi to bring down Obama before this election.

Unfortunately some only care about the lives of American when it is politically expedient for them to do so, hence the obsession with Benghazi by some and the complete apathy to the kind of example you describe.

The comparison is off the mark, soldiers getting electrocuted in a shower was an unintentional accident due to poor workmanship and lack of quality assurance by the contractor who installed the showers whereas the Benghazi issue was one of an intentional political cover up by Obama himself to avoid affecting his reelection campaign or just plain indecisiveness or lack of hindsight to do the right thing (take your pick which) of a commander in chief to protect his troops from harm (I pick the later, because Obama has no military experience, it was just a stupid mistake in judgement on his part alone, but just won't admit to it due to embarrassment that he just plainly screwed up)!
