| Here's one thing we can be sure of about the Benghazi affair: almost everything we've been told since by the mainstream media is a lie, invariably one designed to shore up the creaky and desperate Obama administration. Consider how quickly the story was spun by Obama's amen corner in the liberal MSM. It should, according to any objective news sense, have been a shocking tale of how a woefully unprotected ambassador was murdered in cold blood by Al Qaeda affiliates. Instead, it almost immediately became--of all things--an excuse to demonstrate why Mitt Romney was unfit to be president. Here, for

Obama has been lying about Benghazi in one form or another for 5 weeks. The truth follows more slowly and it is ugly.

Those 4 murdered citizens in Benghazi were simply left to die by Barry & his cohorts. Campaigning took precedence.

IMO, Gloria Allred's role in the Obama campaign is to run interference by using the Obama campaign's tried-and-true method of unsealing sealed court documents to distract America from Fast&Furious, which was overshadowed by Benghazi, which the media refuses to talk about...in a week, both stories could very well be off the table.

This administration, the MSM, in fact, everyone on the left is just so incompetent, so twisted and just plain heartless.
Looking at the photo of Chris Anderson is really heartbreaking. They call themselves "progressives." Can someone explain that exactly? There must be another meaning of the word I don't know -nothing, nothing could possibly expain this.

I've learned that a Democrat President (starting with Bill Clinton) can violate any law, commit treason, trash the Constitution and know that the Democrats in Congress and the msm will always support them. Unlike what happened to Richard Nixon. The current occupant in our White House is more sinister, cold, thuggish, pro Islam and anti American than I ever thought until now. God help us if he gets reelected.

After this election let's put all our TV's in our closets and get all our news and entertainment from our computers.
The MSM must suffer for their lies, half truths and out and out censorship. Let's drive TV viewership down to almost nothing, and stop TV sales.
I think the days of multi-million dollar earning news readers has past, and should end sooner rather than later.

No longer mentioned in any of the reporting is that the 'video' lie chanted endlessly by zippy, shrillary and their lap dogs caused riots all over the middle and far east and in Europe ( even on the tiny island of Mauritius in the middle of the Indian Ocean ). Those riots endangered many more Americans and destroyed several of our embassies and consulates. Just think of all the classified information left for the rioters in those buildings. National security issue? You bet, and maybe that was part of the plan. Lets not forget to hold zippy and shrillary accountable for that as well.

Why didn't the Nobama administration order a rescue? Answer is that it would appear to be imperialistic and Nobama is fully against this. Another question is why did we even have an embassy there when it was known that the Libyans could not defend our embassy's presence. Brits knew this, they pulled out.

They watched this live feed . The 2 security men were not killed until 7 hours into the attack. Nothing was done. They allowed them to die while sending in no help. Then they blamed a film while obama hopped on a plane to Vegas and sent the un ambassador out to lie for them. After all of this it's not a story for (and please don't call them mainstream) any of the obama team media channels. These 'news' channels and personnel (I refuse to name them journalists) have destroyed any credibility they may have had. Anyone who is not a complete left wing ideologue no longer watches them. Just look at the viewership numbers for Fox.

Like Fast and Furious, Benghazi was planned in the WH but the kidnapping didn't work out as planned. They had the video story all ready for the kidnapping so they went with it.

The Socialist Party candidate for President of the US, Norman Thomas, said this in a 1944 speech:
The American people will never knowingly adopt socialism. But, under the name of "liberalism, they will adopt every fragment of of the socialist program, until one day America will be a socialist nation, without knowing how it happened." He went on to say "I no longer need to run as a Presidential Candidate for the Socialist Party. The Democrat Part has adopted our platform."
This is as true today as it was in 1944. And this is what scares me to no end. Just how many sheeple out there will be on of those who will never realize that we are slowly but surely sliding into socialism. It's time for us, the informed, to get the word out and start changing that which is happening. Lets start by doing all we can to elect Romney and get Obozo out of our government. For the rest of HIS life.

I am sorry if you got tired of my rants about necessity of conservative mainstream media, but I know what I am talking about. Propaganda is not just a word, it is almost the most powerful tool in fascist/commies toolbox! And it has to be countered with conservative truthaganda and information. I am convinced that obozo and other commies wouldn't stand a chance even in 2008 if we, conservatives, had: 1. Conservative media 2. Conservative, commonsensical candidate. Which would've happened if we had conservative media!

We must put government servants back in their place. Cut government 50 percent or more. End politics by television. Take the money from politics and there will be no more of this garbage.

The doctor in Pakistan that helped should be sprung and this "parole violator" viz filmmaker shoud be bailed out. How much is the bail? Every chage gets bail typically depending on flight risk. He can turn in his PP/Green-card... The media are blinded by Leftism and the student-union mentality of college yrs.To wit,"if we was in charege ,we'd do this or that." But they would have been wrong and are wrong now. Plus we have millions of Morons in America.

Dear MSM: Why can an amateur be blamed for making a video inflaming Islam to murder, but a Hollywood production bragging about the president of the US killing one of their heroes is no problem?
My guess: it has nothing to do with Islam, or risk to American, whether civilians or those serving their country. It is dependent one factor alone: if it helps Obama it is okay, but if it hurts him it is not.

Questions without answers. What exactly was our Ambassador doing in Benghazi? Who was he meeting with, and for what purpose? What is the significance of the CIA hideout just blocks away? What was the CIA doing in Benghazi?
Suggested answers. Fast & Furious, Libya. Enemies of the US. More 0 & Co. gun running. Not intelligence work, of they would have seen the attack coming.

I would like to pose a question to all voters in the swing states (and you know who you are) before you vote, ask yourself this question. Do I want to vote for someone who has committed an act of treason, and will be impeached if he is reelected? Better still just pray and ask God what He would have you to do.

A vast tract of the East Coast, from Washington DC to New York is in danger of being without power for up to two years, if a massive solar flare knocks out the power grid. With the Sun pushing out unusually large solar flares, capable of disrupting power supplies, a device is being proposed that would prevent more than 300 million Americans being left without power. House Republicans have proposed legislation to push the Government to provide surge protectors and grid-saving devices that would offer protection in case of a massive electromagnetic pulse from either a flare or nuclear weapon.

Afghanistan has suspended talks with the US to discuss the nature of US military presence after foreign troops withdraw in 2014. A spokesman for President Hamid Karzai said the decision was taken over "contradictions" in the US proposal of direct talks with the Taliban. Mr Karzai also ruled out talking to the Taliban until the peace process was "Afghan-led". Earlier, four US soldiers died in a Taliban attack at an Afghan air base. A spokesman for the Taliban said the militants had launched two rockets at Bagram airbase, the largest military base for US troops in Afghanistan.

You don´t need to know much about Afghanistan, the nature of extremist movements or world affairs in general to understand one important principle: Never mind what they say, what are they doing? So while last night the Afghan Taliban released a statement (carefully co-ordinated with the White House) expressing their commitment to finding a political solution to Afghanistan´s conflict, this morning we wake to news that they launched a mortar attack on Bagram air base last night, killing four Americans. [Snip] The problem is that the US is negotiating not from a position of strength but a position of weakness.

Whither the weather? As you may have heard, a conference of national forecasters assembled this week in Exeter: to discuss the future of the British climate, following the spate of harsher than expected winters, and unusually wet summers, since 2007. Already, commentators are asking if global warming is to blame. In particular, some are wondering if the direction of the Jet Stream is being altered by Arctic ice melt. Others are speculating that natural variations, such as the “Atlantic multi-decadal oscillation”, might be responsible for recent evolutions. However, most of this reportage has been second-hand. Unprecedentedly, I had direct access

Yesterday´s surprise announcement by President Barack Obama that America is to engage in direct talks with the Taliban is a welcome and long overdue development in the decade-long Afghan conflict. As I and others have argued for many years, there is no military solution to the Afghan conflict, even if the sustained military effort--which has so far cost in excess of 3,000 Nato lives--has been necessary to force the Taliban to the negotiating table. Without the relentless military pressure provided by American, British and other Nato forces these past few years, I very much doubt that the Taliban would

It might seem like the androgynous fashion trend taken too far, but a Chinese company’s new ‘hairy leg’ hosiery hopes to help women ward off unwanted male attention. A photograph posted to the Shanghai-based website ChinaSMACK shows a model from the waist down wearing the on-trend stockings. A caption below touts them as the perfect ´summertime anti-pervert´ device and ´essential for young girls going out’. It does not state where shoppers can find the garment and internet searches prove fruitless. The image of the tights has triggered hundreds of responses from amused and horrified viewers. ‘Damn, so disgusting!’ commented one.

A group of whistleblowers, including a number of aviation experts, have come forward in a new documentary to claim that the official explanation for the crash of TWA Flight 800 was wrong and a gas tank explosion did not bring down the flight off the coast of Long Island 17 years ago. However, the six whistleblowers, all part of the original investigation team, stopped short of saying the plane was shot down. Flight 800, a Boeing 747, had just taken off from JFK airport with 230 people aboard on July 17, 1996 enroute to Paris when it exploded

An attorney whose firm represents two Benghazi whistleblowers said Gen. Martin Dempsey, chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, lied to the Senate when he said there was never a “stand down” order during the Benghazi attack on Sept. 11, 2012. “What was fascinating is that he explained his lie to them,” Joe DiGenova, an attorney representing one of the whistleblowers, told CNSNews.com. “He actually said they were sent to Tripoli. They were needed in Benghazi,” said DiGenova, a former U.S. attorney, now with the Washington firm of DiGenova & Toensing.

Amid a steady rise of backlash, Edward Snowden, the 29-year-old former National Security Agency contractor who was the source of a spring of leaks about the agency´s surveillance methods, conducted a live chat on The Guardian´s website Monday morning. Judging from some of the pointed questions he´s been asked and the reaction to newly leaked revelations over the past few days, it´s clear that much of the sympathy and support Snowden had built up for his early exposures is eroding. Many Americans supported his decision to leak information about a pair of National Security Agency surveillance programs, which, he detailed, gathered information

As NewsBusters reported last week, former Alaska Governor Sarah Palin called out vulgarian comedian Bill Maher for referring to her Down Syndrome son Trig as "retarded." On ABC´s The View Monday, co-host Barbara Walters astonishingly defended Maher saying, "I don´t think he intended it to be mean-spirited" (video follows with transcript and commentary): WHOOPI GOLDBERG: At a recent standup show in Las Vegas, comedian Bill Maher apparently called Sarah Palin’s five-year-old developmentally-challenged son Trig retarded. And Sarah blasted him on Twitter as a bully. Is that, is it, is he a bully? Is he a bad, what is he?

Charlie Rose last night asked President Obama his new Syria policy. The president first objected to it being called a new policy. "I´m not sure you can characterize this as a new policy. This is consistent with the policy that I´ve had throughout," he said. Obama then explained the goal is regional stability, and especially in Syria. "Really, what we´re trying to do is take sides against extremists of all sorts and in favor of people who are in favor of moderation, tolerance, representative government, and over the long-term, stability and prosperity for the people of Syria," said Obama.

Marco Rubio. Paul Ryan. The IRS. Illegal immigration. And fraud to the tune of billions.. Now there’s a combustible mix. Let’s start with the IRS, illegal immigration and fraud. We’ll come back in a minute to Senator Rubio and Congressman Ryan. For those who came in late, a year before the IRS scandals burst onto the scene in early May of 2013, an alert investigative reporter for WTHR-Indianapolis (Channel 13), Bob Segall by name, produced a stunning piece of journalism. Segall’s video report is found here and we will quote from his story for the basics.
