| It is now obvious that the U.S. government's original story about the Benghazi consulate attack, delivered by its two heaviest hitters, the president and secretary of state, was false, and, more importantly, that it was intended to deceive. How can Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton outrun the scandal that now chases them, a scandal that makes Watergate look like cheating at tiddlywinks? As if "Fast and Furious" weren't enough, the administration now gives America "Slow and Spurious."

"Fairness" does not allow much room for honesty. Advancing the agenda and controlling the narrative are all that matters.
The "Revolution" may be coming but not the one they want.

A great and detailed article on Benghazi and the arrogant lies Obama told. The 2nd Presidential debate showed how the complicit media actively works to cover up Obama's lies.

The MSM will lie and cover up for Obama. The editorial in our local fish wrapper is a good example. Gives credit to Crowley for keeping Romney under control. Makes snide remarks about Romney and Obama's remarks about the Libya attack. In all it is a puking bit of butt kissing lies.

The realization of those "thinking and reasonable liberals" over the next two weeks will turn the election into a rout by Mr. Romney. Barack Obama will finally be seen as the fraud that he is....

America has a short attention span. It's better to take your lumps and move on. These idiots kept their story alive only to justify cutting the military and saying all we need is special forces units. Pure craziness.

Just watched Fox & Friends comparison clips of Emperor Zero taking credit for being tough war hero pResident in speeches a week apart where in the early one he mentions al qaida on the run, and the one yesterday he doesn't.
What a fraud. And the people behind him, cheering his every utterance. Every time, I wonder if they actually hear what he's saying.... or, like Pavlov dogs, they respond JUST BECAUSE he's saying - something. Anything. Doesn't matter what.
We conservatives see Romney's faults, and we accept the fact he's not perfect, hoping we can work him to the right a little more after the election (depends on all our congressional races, folks). We always see reality squarely and deal with it as necessary.
These people behind Obama in his speeches - mostly college kids of course - whatever happened to youthful rebellion against authority? He has so convinced them that HE is the counter-authority. Well, he IS one of them, I suppose - perpetually immature, stuck at their age.
Prayer time again.....

Candy Crowley became the topic of discussion from the 2nd Presidential debate for people who watched it. I have never seen my son in law so animated when talking about politics as when he wanted to share his observations about that debate. He is just 30 years old and he was outraged that Crowley had interrupted Mitt Romney's point. I think this will backfire on the Obama minions, BIG TIME, as Dick Cheney would say.

The old sleight of hand of a magician or master mind-manipulator or natural born pathological liar and you have the man in the White House who wants us not to look in the real direction, The direction of big win by alQaeda both on the ground slaking their blood lust but the propaganda victory as they drive our national narrative with help of the CIC and our corrupt lamestream media-self important narcissists all.
While we are looking the other way and at obama's Libya lie (what is one more klie to him? His media idjits have his back.)al Qaeda is dancing in the streets, around bon fires and abusing the dead bodies of their recent kills--raping, looting and pillaging. ( How do they keep Bill Clinton away?)
Sad fact is that al Qaeda is winning a propaganda war and the obama admin is helping them and the lamesstream media is aiding and abetting. Money to the Egyptian Muslim Brotherhood so they can bomb the Nile dams of their neighbors? Sure was good move by the warrior valkyries (We came, we saw, he died Hillary, exulting at her kill as Ghaddafi was being object sodomized for sport by the tribal brutes.)
We do not understand them but their fellows educated in the West or by Old Ned himself DO understand us. They are winning the propaganda war and rioting to win concessions to change the world in other forms of Jihad.
Bottom line, it may be obama's Waterloo but for the wrong reason that it should be. He should be having to face the fact of his failure to protect the American people from propaganda and deceit of a group he nostalgically favors due mixing and melding with the more peaceful Indonesian Muslims of his youth?

What I want to know is why, during Tuesday's debate and AFTER Crowley skewered Axelrod on her own CNN program re: use of the word terrorism, Obama said (twice) "LOOK AT THE TRANSCRIPT", which Crowley just happened to have with her.........(.even though she later had to walk BACK the fact that Obama was using the word terror generically at the END of a Rose Garden address ) after which he hopped AF1 to Las Vegas for a fundraiser, something Crowley also neglected to pursue( though THAT was the question)...the damage was done, and apparently Crowley is being celebrated at CNN, another reason NOT to watch that network.

In addition to the military cuts mentioned at #5, the Harriburg Patriot News hid this story deep within, assigning it to a blurb position. The 54-word first paragraph is all one sentence. Awful writing.
'A federal appeals court Tuesday threw out the terrorism conviction of a high-profile former detainee at Guantanamo Bay, Cuba, Salim Hamdan, a Yemeni who served as Osama bin Laden's driver and bodyguard and whose case led to a landmark 2006 Supreme Court ruling striking down the Bush administation's first version of military commissions.' ....'The decision delivered a blow to the military commissions system, reducing the chances that many other detainees at Guantanamo will receive trials.'

I truly hope that this is Obama's swan song -- hope he is out of here -- hope we never have to listen to him again -- ever. Maybe he will go back to "where ever" he was born and stay there. God Bless America!!!. God give us our great country back, please.

#14, perfect. Hasn't the WH now been allegedly given the name of the terrorist who assassinated Stevens? This is a complete wag the dog: Obama comes walking forward in the debate, all offended about politicizing Steven's death and sternly tells the nation how he won't stop until those responsible are found. What amazing timing that just after his speech, the terrorist or useful idiot has been named. I suspect the Seals are already in place for a weekend attack. Perhaps he'll be buried at sea so he won't become a martyr. All of this just in time for the final debate.

The writer does a pretty good job until the end when he fizzles before saying just what is wrong with the Arab Spring and why the president and SoS were trying to protect its image. For that we'll have to go here:
On the strategic level, this administration has been a complete disaster. Obama has moved decisively against allies, failed to complete a Status of Forces Agreement with Iraq (a grave and inexcusable mistake), and joined the naïve rush to endorse the various “Arab Spring” revolts and the resulting Islamist governments. As we pull out of Afghanistan, Obama’s Middle East legacy will be a hostile Egypt, Iran substantially closer to a nuclear bomb, Syria in chaos, Iraq slipping into neutrality (at best), portions of Libya under jihadist control, Afghanistan under renewed Taliban assault, and America as despised as it’s ever been, with the black flag of jihad hoisted over embassy after embassy. Oh, but we’ll have drones orbiting overhead, launching the occasional pinprick strike. Do you feel more secure?

In this smoke and mirrors administration, image is everything even if that image is as bogue and baseless as those styrofoam pillars.

I wish some investigative reporter would backtrack on the "Arab Spring". Was this started by some of Captain Zero's players to get all these countries under the Muslim Brotherhood control? The guy who won over Christine McDonnell for Senate was in Kenya some years back and was trying to set up an uprising of the youth there until he was chased out of the country. Code Pink (Medea Benjamin) was a supporter along with some others flew in to support the removal of Gadaffi and Murbarak--Andrew Breitbart confronted her on a plane trip from the East to California.

As furious as I am about the Candy Crowley cover for Obama, I wonder if it will help Romney. If America was level headed and clear thinking, maybe. Jimmy Kimmel did a piece the night before the debate and asked people who they thought won and why. The debate hadn't even taken place yet and the people they interviewed claimed to have seen it and what impressed them most about it. I cry for our country when I think about this younger generation who worships the ground this guy walks on because they think every thing is going to be free for them.

The most important aspect of this scandal is not being reported by anyone: The willingness of Obama, Clinton, et al, to trash the first amendment and free speech before the entire world. What precedent has that set? Furthermore, they were more than willing to ruin the life of an American citizen. That's disgusting.

The rhetorical and obvious question that is asked in this article is an easy one to answer. How will this travesty of incompetence, stupidity, and venality (playing politics with peoples lives)avoid being the fabled albatross around obama's neck? Easy! It will be shunted aside by the FDM (Federally Directed Media) thus becoming a non-story. It is happening already and according to the FDM, it pales in importance when compared to KILLING BIG BIRD.

They lie because the truth about aspects of 0bama's MENA policy. Think of a MENA Fast and Furious where instead of weapons going to the Sinaloa cartel, they are going to Al Qaeda.
The question is whether Ambassador Stevens was set up to be killed, was part of a plot to free the blind sheikh or was part of a botched kidnapping plot to make 0bama look good just before the election.

Don't question the lack of truth, the deception, lies and sleight of hand. It's all part of the process and they obviously have enough people snowballed that they think they can steal another election. It's not just Obama, he's a wooden dummy and has many people pulling his strings. The only thing that will bring truth back to the table will be a merciless housecleaning of government or full-scale revolution. Joseph Goebbels proved that these deception tactics work all too well and are very hard to fight through peaceful means because half of the population is delusional and is all too willing to be led to the slaughterhouse on the promise of another free meal. Fair play and appeasement will not save us but the 2nd amendment will.

The Coptic Christian that placed "Innocence of Muslims" in YouTube is still in Federal Prison in Los Angeles. The Pakistani doctor that gave proof of Osama for Obama is in prison too.
Obama apologized six times for the video in front of our enemies at the UN General Assembly on September 24. Monica's Boyfriend's Wife purchased TV commercials of Herself and Obama in Pakistan.
The US Embassy in Cairo apologized for the video before they were attacked on September 11, 2012. The mob was directed by Mohammed al-Zawahiri, the brother of the al-Quaida leader, and they flew the Black Colors of al-Quaidain our embassy.
Having a Muslim-educated president did not help us, did it?

I feel sorry for Seal Team Six and all the other Special Operations personnel who are being set up for a dangerous mission, probably this weekend, just so Øbama can look tough on foreign policy in Monday night's debate. He will send them on this mission regardless of the intelligence evaluation of the situation. He claims that our poor Libyan intelligence was responsible for the surprise attack in the first place and will now launch his "Wag the Dog" campaign video based upon the intelligence from the same groups.

Open hiring practices: that's what America needs, as well as this painfully awaited election. We need to know the hiring practices of all the unionized networks and newspapers. Showing big taxing government favoritism, regardless of whether or not they are already Communists, is the way any applicant qualifies. What are the tests they give to get into the world of Josef Geobbels? Hiring practices disclosure is a next big step in our New Media world of cleaning Old Media house, and eliminating criminal broadcasters, those who approve of anything socialist. So called "news people" stay in office forever, as long as they tow the Communist Party Line, or it's easily disguisable equivalent, like the soft Party Line, the way Marxist teachers throughout America disable thinking, otherwise healthy kids. Remember, for all time, one of the last new projects from Andrew Breitbart before his sudden, mysterious death, was his declaration that he was beginning a BREITBART EDUCATION.COM inviting children and parents to submit secret classroom videos showing teachers all across America as they indoctrinate the kids with "cultural Marxism". This is part of the do or die housecleaning needed to remove 60 plus years of communist marxist damage.

Here's what Romney should do in the next debate.
"Now, I want to make sure I understand what you were telling me last week in the second debate. You said that you knew this was a terrorist attack on the day AFTER the killings took place. Correct?"
O - "Uhhhh... ahh.... yes, but first let me..."
Romney "Well. I hope you can understand my confusion here, because all I heard for the next two weeks was that these attacks were the result of a spontaneous mob action that was precipitated by anger to a YouTube video. Susan Rice said it. Your Press Secretary said it. Hillary Clinton said it. The State Department ran ads on Pakistani TV that alluded to it. And, Mr. President, you said it on two talk shows as well as on the floor of the United Nations where your address mentioned the video now fewer than 6 times. What I want to know is this. How could you let the charade continue for two WEEKS after you claimed to have KNOWN this was a clear terrorist attack?"
This will bury Obama.

It appears the Republican Party establishment and some conservative commentators have come up with another mistaken tactic to woo the low information and undecided voters. With the avalanche of scandals swirling around the Obama administration and the Democratic Party, the political message promoted by these politicians and pundits is that these scandals are the outcome of a government that has grown too large to control and should therefore be dramatically cut back.

The current abusive conduct by the IRS is breathtaking in its audacity. When you look at last Friday´s testimony Acting Commisioner Steven Miller there is a clear disconnect -- the doesn´t think anyone did anything illegal, unconstitutional, or even wrong. Apart from a stark posture of arrogance and negative body language, he represents a very large group of people we need to worry about. This guy is beyond zealotry -- he has gone straight to certainty that he is right, his actions are justified and he can´t be touched. He´s like Obama´s buddy Bill Ayers

Treasury Secretary Jack Lew on Friday urged congressional leaders to raise the debt limit and insisted that the White House is not going to negotiate over the increase because lawmakers have "no choice." "We will not negotiate over the debt limit," Lew wrote. "The creditworthiness of the United States is non-negotiable. The question of whether the country must pay obligations it has already incurred is not open to debate." Lew said that while President Obama is willing to discuss plans to reduce the nation´s deficit with Congress, those talks must be kept separate from any effort to raise the nation´s debt cap.

By all accounts, today´s college campuses grow more intolerant by the day. We move closer to the old Soviet Empire, where political dissidents risked the gulag for even joking about Marxism. In the U.S., however, the hate crimes concern anything that touches on race, ethnicity, gender differences, diversity, and sexuality (see here and here). Even an old-fashioned ethnic joke almost guarantees mandatory counseling. Skeptics need only look at the pervasiveness of campus speech codes, coerced sensitivity training, the mandatory injection of multicultural propaganda into courses, and other top-down censorship.

BALTIMORE — Trying to reset the agenda amid scandal in Washington, President Barack Obama turned his attention Friday to the economy and said lawmakers should spend every day resolute on how to help it grow and get people back to work. “Our focus cannot drift,” he said. After a week that put him on the defensive and consumed by a trio of political controversies, Obama left the turmoil behind on a short helicopter flight about 40 miles north to Baltimore. The city has had its share of tough times in its move from an industrial to service economy

"We´ve seen rage and violence directed at American embassies over an awful Internet video that we had nothing do to with," said Hillary Clinton to the families of the four Americans killed at Benghazi and others gathered at a September 2012 memorial service. Her boss, President Barack Obama, had been reciting the same lie in one forum after another in the days following the September 11 attack on the American outpost in Benghazi. To give the lie credence, his Justice Department immured the producer of the video, a Coptic Christian named Nakoula Basseley Nakoula, in a West Texas prison.
