Yes, folks Graham has said that when they don't want to answer the questions they have posed to them they just attack the questioners and feel they have done their duty. Calling Graham, McCain and Ayotte racists proves very little but that is how they try to take care of Benghazi. Here are some thoughts about the Benghazi affair that need some thought.
Some of the words of Graham aimed at those who call him a racist because he has called for Susan Rice to be questioned under oath to find out where she got her information for that fateful Sunday. Graham has said, '“The only color that matters to me is red, the blood of those who were killed,” he continued. “I think it’s a good thing for people of color and women to be appointed to the highest level of our government, because in the past, they couldn’t be. I think it would be a terrible thing in America if you couldn’t question and challenge what they did in their jobs.”
Some words that readers of this post need to see and won't from avoiding reading the link are: The Democrats always want to turn something into something that it is not. In this case they have taken a very serious issue where four men have lost their lives and those from their own party, in some of the most powerful positions in the world, have lied to cover up the reason why they were killed. They then turned on those who are seeking answers and trying to keep one of the people involved in the perpetration of the lie concerning Benghazi from being promoted. It seems in politics the ones that scream the loudest about racism or sexism are the true racists and sexists
If Linsey Graham was as adamant about the investigation of the Iraq war in which Thousands of soldiers were killed he would have some credibility, seems like he is cherry picking what is important to him.

OMG, a politician 'cherry-picking' what's important to him !!!!
With all this yammering diversion over why the R's don't 'investigate' the Iraq war, why don't the D's do a little 'investigating' of their own. They were part and parcel of that war, neck deep in beginning and continuing it.
Lindsey Graham is hardly the prototypical conservative and has annoyed many on the right with his willingness to vote for Obama's candidates for SCOTUS while serving on United States Senate Committee on the Judiciary. He likes to get along, so I was shocked at his anger with the Obama administration and Susan Rice. LG only gets angry at other Republicans, and he was a big red flag to me that something was deeply wrong with Benghazi and the administration's explanations of what occurred.
He obviously knows Susan Rice is lying, just like many of his Democrat senate counterparts know she's lying. That means he knows the Obama administration in in full-fledged cover-up mode. It will be interesting to see how far he pushes it.
On his website he's warning the president - “Mr. President, don’t think for one minute I don’t hold you ultimately responsible for Benghazi. I think you failed as Commander in Chief before, during, and after the attack.
“We owe it to the American people and the victims of this attack to have full, fair hearings and accountability be assigned where appropriate. Given what I know now, I have no intention of promoting anyone who is up to their eyeballs in the Benghazi debacle."
Yellow cake, mushroom clouds, Iraq is a threat to the US, all lies.
The contentious part is whether
a) the intelligence was screwed up and they just repeated it
b) they cherry picked intelligence to make their case to the world and to the American people
c) they made up all the intelligence, fed it to the CIA, and then said "look, here it is".
There are numerous documented stories that the admin fed to journalists and news agencies, then when the reports came out, they said "look, see, even X news orginazation agrees with us...".
Meanwhile the stories source was the Bush administration in the first place. Richard Clarke was saying that people in the administration where talking about Iraq the day after 9/11 in the White House..they wanted this to be about Iraq because they wanted to "finish the job".
We're still paying for this war and thousands died, so yes, it should be in the press more than it is. Even most of the "liberal media" has completely stopped talking about it.
They stopped talking about it because they finally figured out it's been a U.S. policy for that region ever since WW II ended and the Cold War began.
This is geopolitical strategy and the only reason it's like this is because the voters kick and scream every time their lifestyle is threatened. You may not have the capacity to understand what losing the dollar as the world's reserve currency means but some of us do.
This is not to say what we do in these "foreign entanglements" is right or wrong but it is what it is.

Well there was only a 1,000 page report on it. You can find it here:
WTF does that have to do with Libya? Why was the entire ME erupting because of The Video and yet Libya was pretty much silent?
Why did the attack occur just after the Turkish ambassador left on a night where the US ambassador was staying in Benghazi when he normally always stayed in Tripoli? Who tipped off the terrorist network of people who raided the compound?
Who was the C.I.A. detaining and how long did they have them?
Were the weapons used the same weapons that were funneled to Libyan rebels via the C.I.A. and Blackwater at behest of the Obama administration? You remember when Stratfor was hacked into? Well some of the emails that were hacked leaked out and proved just that.
Did the Obama administration know it was funneling weapons to AQ sympathizers?
Why did the administration try so very hard to blame the entire thing on The Video and random protest (that weren't even occurring at the time)? And why did you allow them to tell you they had concrete evidence that that was the case and then just a week or so later start saying we're watching a moving picture? To most people that's called moving the goalposts.
And why did Patraeus resign just after the election late on a Friday evening? How did our intelligence community not know of an affair that had been occurring for almost 2 years? Did the Obama administration, DoJ, DNI, etc., really not talk to each other about their head of the C.I.A. having affair with someone that was writing a book about him? Did Obama and friends really find out on election day? Do you think the Obama administration is competent? Do you think our IC is competent?
You people want this to go away because you're scared at what might be found so you then do your best to deflect using stories of the other side doing the very same things that are being asked of by the people just wanting the truth about the whole Benghazi thing.
