Yeah, those people don't have a clue, unlike you and me. But they don't fact check stuff, either. When you read an article and the article says things that aren't even true, those people still try to defend the article.

Yeah. Seriously.

PS. Obama has killed kids and a US citizen without a trial. That does not make him a saint.
But, they were brown and probably Muslim.

I've seen this movie before.

You know... You know what I've noticed? Nobody panics when things go "according to plan." Even if the plan is horrifying!

My guess is that neither Obama nor his supporters knew how ridiculously false a statement that was. 2/3 of American adults are significantly undereducated, mathematically illiterate, and lack adequate critical thinking skills.

How do I know that?

Despite spending more than any other country on education, only 1/3 of all U.S. public high school graduates are educated to even a basic 12th-grade proficiency level in math and reading. Many, many adult Americans are mathematically illiterate and have little to no critical thinking skills. They're easy to "Gruber," as sad as that is.

Needless to say she is far from a right wing political hack, as she has gone after the (R's) with just as much passion as she does with the (D's).
Another words, she takes her job seriously and does it with professionalism by not allowing her own personal perspectives to deter her from unearthing the facts/truth.

She had a falling out with her employer then her unsubstantiated claim that insinuated that the white house hacked her computer and spied on her, all around the time of her book release.

She may have been a decent reporter at one time but I have not seen any production lately, maybe she can surround some of her accusations with some facts. Maybe for openers she could tell us exactly what she knew about Benghazi that the prior 20 congressional hearings didn't disclose that would cause someone to hack into her computer since this was her claim a year ago.

She is looking more and more like a GOP tool showing up at the confirmation hearings (or non-confirmation) for Loretta Lynch.

I see that Trey Gowdy has resurrected the Benghazi hearings, you can never get enough.

Why resurrect a dead thread with nothing new?

Oh yeah you really get it what does any of your statement have to do with Benghazi, try to stay on topic.

What you call "nothing new", I call a stunning revelation after having read her book.

A classic example would be where you dismiss the attack in Libya with the "20 congressional hearings didn't disclose" and "hack into her computer since this was her claim a year ago".
It should chill you to the bone what has recently happened to her, especially in light of everything that has come out with Snoden and Merkel.
She backs up her claims, and even CBS finally released a report showing the independent consultant they hired backed up the claims of the security expert she hired to show her computers were in fact hacked.

As to the new hearings, I really think you should read her book and decide for yourself. She describes in detail how we knew (as did other countries) there was going to be an attack, and little was done by us to prevent it. That alone is worthy of investigation because no ones heads have rolled. As a matter of fact, security was decreased despite requests for greater security. More importantly, we need to figure out what keeps going wrong with our top agencies like the CIA, FBI, NSA etc.
Heck remember how there were warning signs about 9/11 but the right hand didn't know what the left was doing?

Not only is Benghazi another example, but the Boston bombings stand out as an intelligence failure. We were warned twice by Russia that we had a potential problem, yet it was not acted upon despite supposed investigations by the FBI & CIA. Yet these same three letter organizations along with others want to spy on private American citizens every phone call and email to figure out if we are terrorists. They fell on their face just investigating those two Islamic brothers Russia warned us about. So what should make us think they can go through billions of mega data that ordinary citizens send every year. Why should we stand for such intrusions under the guise of security when they can't even stop known terrorists from attacking us?
This is not a (D) or (R) issue, it should concern every single one of us!

When you say she seems like a "GOP tool" I cannot tell if you are just trying to disparage her to discredit her findings, and thereby diminish those findings.
Remember she was a pitbull against the Bush administration, so I wonder if you thought she was a "tool" of the (D's) back then?

Now that more info is finally coming out despite the Obama/Hillary attempt to delay and ultimately bury the truth, I'm sure the apologists will now attempt to say this is old news.

It was obviously a terrorist attack from instant one. Denials from the government were obvious government speak. With the CIA involvement that was quite reasonable and what one would expect. See Eisenhower on Gary Powers.

If anyone in the whole world would have known of the conditions in Bengazi it was the Ambassador who chose to be there.

An even worse "screw up" by Obama and Hillary on the Benghazi attack is the fact that the Ambassador and other lives would have been saved had those members of the private security NOT BEEN TOLD TO STAND DOWN and do nothing...they put up with that order for 30 minutes then said..."Let's roll, orders or not" but they lost too much precious time to save those lives.

That's the real disaster, blame for which rests right on the shoulders/heads of BO and Hillary!

The attack was tragic, but is it going to change anyone's vote? Nope....

Truth is, nobody cares about Benghazi, not as a voting issue, therefore, any "ah-ha's" by the GOP about Benghazi are going to be empty and hollow.....

Am I wrong?
I hope you are wrong. This kind of leadership will destroy America and all of us.
