Certain TV media act as if Benghazi never happened. And they consider themselves Forward looking.

You really don't get that people are upset with the "it's a video and we are so insensitive" malarkey. It was bad enough that they should have known (9/11 had already happened and it was the freaking anniversary) and that they were told by the ambassador and intelligence experts on the ground that there was an issue and they needed extra security but the charade afterwards was unacceptable. Now we find out that they may have watched the whole thing and still babbled on about a video and arrested some idiot for poor cinematic taste. None of THAT happened after 9/11.

What am I missing here?

Much worse than Benghazi happened on Bush's watch.....like 4000 Americans dead in Iraq while looking for non existent weapons of mass destruction.

Let's say I were to agree with the right that Obama has lied about Benghazi.

Ok, that's one lie.

Romney has lied more times than just about any other candidate for president in modern history. Been caught lying more times too.

So going by this measure, I'm still supporting the candidate who has lied less.

If it had happened while Bush was in office, he would probably have invaded Canada in retaliation.

Bush ignored intelligence that predicted the biggest attack on American soil.

Well it did happen to Bush, its called 9/11. But it just so happened it was after the election, not before.

9/11, like Benghazi, was a massive failure of the intelligence community.

Not like Fox News that repeats the story numerous times daily along with the same photo of the consulate burning.

The cretins at fox have been pushing a "bengazi gate" since the day of the attack, they salivate in anger cause it is not getting traction, it has been totally politizied by the right wing. A true cover up was when bush's administration supressed information bout wmd's that would have stopped the invasion to iraq, that was really scandalous with thousands of americal lives lost as a result plus trillion of dollars spent, and hundred of thousands of iraqui lives, do these right wing idiots really have any conscience???

Actually, there were twelve terrorist attacks on U.S. diplomatic facilities abroad during George W. Bush’s tenure — the most of any president in history.
