What a great quotation.

Too bad it's not true.

But it's certainly pithy.

And that's why it's so hard to believe the propaganda you're spreading; there are too many well informed posters here for you to be able to snow them.

Remember that you can fool some of the people some of the time...well, I'm sure you know the rest of it, because you are trying hard to fulfill the last line of it.

Do you mean propaganda need not be true to be credible? I guess you're right. It need not be, if the audience is uninformed.

And here we are faced with the Benghazi matter and from Obama down, to you included, it's being called just one more phony scandal.

Isn't it odd that this administration is caught up in so many phony scandals, and is spending so much time and effort to sweep them all away?

Both ways. It need not be true to be credible, and it need not be false to be incredible.

There is simply no correlation between those two dimensions.

Hubert was trying too hard.

Not in the least. It is the only tactic that Republicans seem to have come up with to oppose the President. It may be sad. It may be pathetic.

But odd? Not really.

Right-

"Everyone knows............."

a.Lindsey Graham is a RINO
b. The republicans are going to take the Senate anyway
c. the purpose of the investigation, like Watergate, is to find the truth and restore the integrity of the Oval Office.

Perhaps YOU could tell us-

1. Where was Obama on the night of the Benghazi attack

2. Why was Obama not in the situation room?

3. When was Obama informed of the attack?

4. Did Obama order any specific actions?

5. Did Obama have any other communications with anyone after being informed of the attack?

6. Who ordered that no military intervention be sent?

7. Who altered the intelligence information to suggest that the attack was in response to a video?

8. Did Obama order that the attack was a result of the video?

9. Did someone else create the "video" lie and later inform Obama?

10. When did Obama know about the video lie?

11. Why was the public told the video lie, when the truth was known?

12. Was it the fear (as stated in the recent email), that the lie was created to preserve Obama's presidential hopes?


Given that YOU know all of the answers, please let the rest of us know, as we will have to wait for the results of the special congressional investigation otherwise.

One would think that you are rehashing old (and very old) ground covered over and over and over and ...

Some of the answers are obvious, others who knows???

But wasn't a House sub-committee report released recently re all this? If you are interested you might look it up and do some reading. I'm not inclined to do any looking myself, you are a good candidate though.

Now that we've finally gotten past an owner of a basketball team and his nonsense, whats the over under the same media that couldnt get enough of this NBA story doesnt say a damn thing about one that matters?

Benghazi Emails Show White House Effort to Protect Obama | Washington Free Beacon

These orders came from the Obama Admin. Its time to start impeachment trials.

The Birther thing would be icing on the cake. But the staff and fellow Dem will beless likely to protect the President from himself. His team is looking at jail time!

Good Questions and America waits for Justice. Since Obama is big on his "Social Justice".
