That's why you should never vote for the useless entity that is the GOP.

Some are paid RW trolls. It's why there are so many threads started with the same Roger Ailes talking points, and repeated over and over despite the evidence.

If such an act was committed by a republican, you would be outraged.

IRS attacks on conservatives- okay
lying about Benghazi and failing to rescue- okay
Fast and Furious- okay
lying about Obamacare- okay
attacking opposition journalists- okay
Liberals are not opposed to fascist and tyrannical tactics, as long as they are directed toward conservatives. This reveals that most liberals are opposed to liberty, at heart, and are more for "selective" allocation of individual rights-i.e. police state rule.
Let's go over your little list line by line.
** Fascism and liberalism are polar opposites. Try a little book lurnin' and stop being a Fox dupe.
** The authoritarian police state personality is a conservative one - both historically and currently. Remember the "permissive" too-much-freedom liberal? What happened to that? Have ya given it up temporarily to suit the moment?
** Homeland Security spying was/is just fine with conservatives.
** IRS was targeting everybody including "leftist" organizations.
** Congressional repugs reduced funding for Benghazi security, and you are fine with the many more deaths under GWB. Called self-serving RW hypocrisy.
** There was no lie about Obamacare which is also Romneycare.
** Yes, attacking fascist RW journalists really is okay.
So congressional repubs were hoping for such an incident as Benghazi to beat up Obama with, did what they could to make it happen, and got their wish. Like the Iraq war, dead Americans in exchange for political capital.
How could anything be more despicably un-American than that? All your accusative misdeeds typically right-wing and nothing "liberal" there at all.

Someone like Obama can come in from nowhere and win the White House as a relative unknown because there is little to use against an unknown in attack ads.

For McCain it was Keating and not knowing how many houses he owned at a time when record numbers of Americans were losing theirs.

For Romney it was Bain Capital and Romneycare.

In 2016, the candidate who will defeat Hilary is Hilary.


The famous Hilary Clinton campaign ad about the 3am phone call will be updated to include her "what difference" quote and then she's done.

No attack ad ended McCains chances. His actions did. McCains inability to convey to the American people in the basic way how He planned to deal with the looming financial crisis and his choice of Sarah Palin did that.

No attack ad did Romney's candidacy in...his inactions did. He basically turned his campaign over to Ryan to expalin. It was Ryan's economic plan...Not Romney's. America did not want a CEO. Taking others ideas and passing them off as his own.

You are correct. The "leftist" media is all over it - but the Fox cocoon is a cozy one.

Like you are happy with the many more dead Americans under GWB. Here's a sad fact about little children - they are self-centered, have zero concern about hypocrisy, and don't even understand it. Responsible adults see it as a sin and teach their children to grow out of it. Sad when infantile tantrums are all adults like yourself can offer as an "argument".

Another lib obsessed with FOX news. Oddly, it is the only "dissenting" news source on television, opposing the liberal ABC, NBC, CBS. MSNBC, CNN, and PBS. Libs cannot tolerate ANY opposition to their views, as they are fascists at heart. What does a lib want? Uniform acceptance of all liberal theology and NO QUESTIONING of liberal political agendas. This, of course, means that the media is simply a propaganda unit for the left. BTW- I do not watch FOX (I dont watch any television news). But I AM SURE that you watch MSNBC- an embarrassing far left propaganda station.

Obamacare did not dump anyone? Are you crazy? Obamacare dictated that all "acceptable" policies meet certain criterion important to the administration. Many, many very good plans which suited the needs of the insured (but did not suit Obama) were deemed unacceptable. Patients were dumped from these policies, which worked well for the patient and were lower cost. Now they are being dumped to medicaid or higher priced policies.

Obama said that, "You can keep your plan if you like it. You can keep your doctor if you like them." Of course, Obama and the admin knew that was a lie four years ago. However, they lied to dupe the nation into accepting this disaster. You, of course, being a blind partisan, give Obama a pass on this, as you are programmed to not question anything that Obama says. Now you can understand how the German people followed Hitler- you are a modern example of the same mentality who have sacrificed principles of liberty for support of ONE MAN.

It would be a pretty huge graphic if you made one for all the embassy workers who died while Bush was president.

..."all the support they could have had"... What does that mean?. Should Clinton have ordered a Brigade to protect the Mission? Would a Brigade been sufficient? How about a division?
