Seriously. I know you all like to pretend that the outrage is anything beyond just politicizing this in hopes that it'll tarnish Obama. Its unlikely. Just give it up. Yes, Americans died. Guess what? They worked in a war torn dangerous country. Its not like they took these jobs without assuming some level of risk.

The east coast is in terrible shape, and most citizens are more concerned about our own country than some GOP attempt to act like there was some massive coverup. You'll all stop caring on November 7th.

You liberals didn't try to act like Bush's missteps in Iraq was "no big deal." Learn to accept criticism against your Messiah when its warranted like the situation in Benghazi. You are right that this isn't going to tarnish Obama because the mainstream media will not let that happen and most Americans are so drunk on the Obama kool-aid they turn a blind eye and a deaf ear to anything he might do wrong. Those who do care though have the right to be outraged about this.

The right to pretend to be outraged about this, you mean. You all stopped pretending to care about the whole "Fast and Furious" thing once you had some other "scandal" to pretend to be upset about.

Benghazi was a tragedy, that's something we all can agree on but the GOP has blown the situation up by comparing it to Hurricane Sandy. Countless Republican Senators, and GOP Supports have said this "Obama has stopped campaigning for the Hurricane but can't stop for Benghazi", well I have news for you, Benghazi didn't happen in the US; if someone blew up a building as they did in Benghazi I assure you Obama would stop campaigning as he did with Hurricane Sandy. Do you guys want him to send a nuke that way? Or increase everyone's taxes to 70% to "pay" (which to be such a fiscal conscious party, you guys sure love to use the credit card on war) for a war that you guys so desperately want? I'm confused, what do you guys want?

Republican watch Fox. Fox has fabricated a story to try to discredit Obama. They then run fabricated facts and innuendoes 24/7. Republicans believe everything that they hear or read on Fox. There you go.

It is called the "Fox effect". If you see rabid posting on some subject, you can be sure that they are talking about it non stop on fox to advance some Republican agenda.

Like you say about watching Fox. If you don't like them, don't look at them.

You think you know what all conservatives want or how all conservatives think but you don't. I am heavily against another war in the middle east. What I do want is the following

1. A new media that is fair and balanced and scrutinizes Democrats and Republicans equally. If you think Benghazi is no big deal thats your right, but you wouldn't have given Bush a pass
2. The transparency Obama promised when elected
3. Obama to tell the truth about what happened in Benghazi and something done to keep it from happening again. Either Obama owes America an explanation or some big changes are needed in our national intelligence.

The One can do no wrong. Anything that may make him look like less than perfect must be a racist Republican ploy to discredit the Great Leader.
