| Republicans have the same basic attitude toward conspiracy theories as the Plains Indians had toward the buffalo – they are the basis of life, even religion, and no part, no matter how minor, should go unexploited. Hence Senator John McCain’s milking of the Benghazi attack. Or, rather, not the attack itself but the Obama administration’s response to it. He and other Republicans seem to think that the White House, and U.N. Ambassador Susan Rice, played down the possibility that Al Qaeda operatives were behind the attack, so that President Obama could boast on the campaign trail that his

Wasn´t the mantra of Obama´s campaing something like "Al Quaeda or Bin Laden is dead and GM is alive?" This fits the narrative for the campaing. How does the NYT stay in business?

Is "conspiracy theory" their new "racism" - a way to automatically discredit legitimate critique of Dear Leader? I´ve been noticing how often the court eunuchs cry "conspiracy theory!" lately when Dear Leader gets caught with his pants on fire.
And speaking of that still very suspicious birth certificate...

Fist off Andy, who cares what you or that worthless rag think? Your slavish devotion to this administration is glaringly evident so anything you say is viewed with skepticism.
Second, nothing you said conflicts with the theory that I and millions of americans hold which is, this administration withheld information and distorted the information they released in order to help Obama win the election.

So a Senator trying to do his best to represent the citizens and keeping the fire lit under a lying, corrupt WH, which still hasn´t come out with the truth about this awful incident is milking a conspiracy theory? Must be painful to be impaled on McCain´s hook Andrew.

Interesting view, particularly if you like talking gerbils.
Based on the testimony it is no longer in dispute that the -0- administration peddled a false story – i.e. “lied to the American people”.
The comment that -0- has ordered the killing of people in the war on terror is odd, and weirdly out of place. The issue here is that 4 Americans were murdered in what was obviously a terrorist attack on US soil, and the administration lied about it, and continues to obfuscate for political cover. That really isn’t even in dispute at this point. There are lots of unanswered questions, and the lack of media curiosity is surreal.

Americans saw and heard the president, the Secretary of State, and Susan Rice repeatedly claiming that the attacks were spontaneous demonstrations caused by an anti-Islam film. The president went before the UN and said this. These pathetic people with their deceptions actually started Americans talking and arguing about the limits, if any, of freedom of speech.
We HEARD this and we SAW this. Does the writer think we havve forgotten it? Does he think we are idiots?
It is one thing to say that doubt remains as to whether Al Quaeda or any other group was involved. No one can argue with caution in assigning specific responsibility before the facts support it. But this is not the question at hand.
The administration´s talking points were that the attacks were caused by an anti-Islam film. They expressed no doubt whatever about this. They claimed that the demonstrations were spontaneous. Again, they expressed no doubt about this. They apologized to Muslims for the film they claimed, right away, immediately, the moment the attacks took place, while they were still going on, caused the whole thing.
This is a disgraceful article by a man so blinded by his partisanship that he no longer dwells in the same world as the rest of us. It is, or would be, if it were not the norm, unbelievable.

As soon as I started reading Andrew´s article, I could feel the saliva building in my mouth... and a strong desire to spew it in Andrew´s face -- had he been in the same room as I. (+ I´ve never spit at anyone!)
The root of Benghazi is that it is a MURDER investigation of four Americans, and one of the four an Ambassador wilfully abandoned (by the U.S. Government/President)without sufficient protection.
Please: do NOT allow the word ´Murder´ to drop from any of these discussions/investigation.
And yes, #5 - I think "´conspiracy theory´ their new ´racism´ - a way to automatically discredit legitimate critique of Dear Leader." Let´s not walk into their verbal traps.

Hey Andy, I am not a conspiracist, I am a realist, anybody with even a rudimentary amount of common sense could see that this Benghazi Debacle was the result of a novice practitioner in the fine art of foreign affairs not understanding the game at hand (too complex). Then said practitioner lied to the American people on numerous occasions...come clean, the truth will set you free or get you impeached!

Well, this conspiracy "theory" has more evidence backing it up than your much vaunted "theory" of interspecies evolution which you now hold as an axiom. Go ahead and ridicule this as fanciful thinking but like the McCarthyism liberal boogeyman, this too will be shown, too late for those hurt by it, to have basis in reality. This time, though, many lives will be lost while Obama plays savior to the islamic world.
What do you call a president sending someone with no direct knowledge of the Benghazi attack to speak for his administration, spouting out lies not once but five times before an election that he would have lost if he was shown to be a liar on having defeated islamic terrorism rather than enabling it? I would say that there was a conspiracy among Jarrett, Donilon, Clinton, Obama and Rice at the very least to lie about the cause of the attack when they all knew otherwise.

Can´t imagine why people would suspect that this had something to do with Obama´s election- other than the fact that all he has ever done and all he can ever do is campaign.
You don´t have to vote for him but you should realize that you are a racist if you criticize anything he does or says.

This morning from The Washington Post’s Kathleen Parker: "Breaking news: Conservative organizations suddenly have found common cause with one of their favorite objects of contempt — the benighted Mainstream Media ... Or as the tea party queen and former Alaska governor likes to put it, the ‘lamestream media.’ In a twist of irony, the two groups have coalesced around a common enemy: the U.S. government.” (Snip) But truth be told, there would be no Tea Party today had there not been a Sarah Palin to egg it on and advance it.

Sarah Palin said Friday that the elite media would never let a Republican president get away with what Barack Obama has done in his push for new gun laws. The former Alaska governor recalled that the national press “tore apart” George W. Bush for using “fleeting images” from Sept. 11, 2001, during his 2004 reelection campaign. At the National Rifle Association’s annual meeting, Palin slammed Obama for flying the grieving parents of the massacre at Sandy Hook Elementary School on Air Force One and then “making them backdrops” at rallies. “That same media is now the reliable poodle-skirted cheerleader

The Pentagon has released a statement confirming that soldiers could be prosecuted for promoting their faith: "Religious proselytization is not permitted within the Department of Defense...Court martials and non-judicial punishments are decided on a case-by-case basis...”. The statement, released to Fox News, follows a Breitbart News report on Obama administration Pentagon appointees meeting with anti-Christian extremist Mikey Weinstein to develop court-martial procedures to punish Christians in the military who express or share their faith.(From our earlier report: Weinstein is the head of the Military Religious Freedom Foundation, and says Christians--including chaplains--sharing the gospel

To say that Sarah Palin shook things up by taking to Twitter to express her displeasure at the nonchalant nose-rubbing going on at the White House Correspondent´s Dinner Saturday night would be an understatement. It doesn´t matter who you are. If you watched the White House Correspondent´s Dinner and simultaneously possessed one shred of passion for the future of our country with regards to crony capitalism and corruption, it´s pretty easy to determine the overwhelming consensus of the event. The media is supposed to exist to hold these people accountable. Instead, they choose to play

The surviving suspect in the Boston Marathon bombings should not be treated as an enemy combatant, Senate Intelligence Committee Chair Dianne Feinstein (D-Calif.) said Sunday morning. “I do not believe under the military commission law that he is eligible for that. It would be unconstitutional to do that,” Feinstein said on “Fox News Sunday.” Dzhokhar Tsarnaev, the sole surviving suspect in last Monday’s bombings, was taken into custody Friday. Federal officials said they plan to use a public safety exception to delay reading Tsarnaev his "Miranda" rights.

Mainstream media publications immediately exploited the passing of former British Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher on Monday to again advance their political agendas by falsely smearing former Alaska Gov. and Republican vice presidential nominee Sarah Palin. In a rush to write whatever they could to tarnish both, outlets like Politico and the Washington Post resorted to "reporting" on a fictitious story and an imaginary trip that have already been debunked years ago. The Post, a publication known for its liberal agenda, immediately "re-upped" the debunked story about Thatcher having snubbed Palin when Chris Cillizza,

Her SarahPAC came out with a video on Wednesday aimed at fueling the conservative fires for a dramatic comeback in the midterm elections. The “Loaded for Bear” video features tea party favorite Sen. Ted Cruz talking of Mrs. Palin’s successes in the 2010 election that saw the rise of Sens. Marco Rubio, Rand Paul and Jeff Flake, Breitbart reports. “Sarah Palin picks winners,” Mr. Cruz says in the video. And the statement does hold truth. Former Sen. Jim DeMint,

Obama administration officials who were in key positions on Sept. 11, 2012, acknowledge that a range of mistakes were made the night of the attacks on the U.S. missions in Benghazi, and in messaging to Congress and the public in the aftermath. The officials spoke to CBS News in a series of interviews and communications under the condition of anonymity so that they could be more frank in their assessments. They do not all agree on the list of mistakes and it's important to note that they universally claim that any errors or missteps did not cost lives and reflect "incompetence rather than malice or cover up.

WASHINGTON - There were new questions Saturday night concerning if anyone in the White House was aware of the IRS´ targeting of conservative groups. Inspector General Russell George said he informed a deputy at the Treasury Department in June of 2012 about the probe into the IRS. The Treasury Department confirmed the timeline but said they did not know the details of the investigation until last week.(Snip)Marcus Owens ran the tax-exempt division at the IRS for 10 years. He said it isn´t difficult to figure out who´s doing what at the agency.

In the wake of one of the worst abuses of government power in recent history, many are rushing to frame the Internal Revenue Service scandal as simply an attack on conservative activists. That view risks creating a partisan political football and misses a fundamentally scarier abuse that exceeds the scandals of Watergate or any other prior government abuse. The IRS has admitted that since May 2010 it targeted grassroots-conservative organizations that had applied for tax-exempt status, unfairly subjecting them to rigorous scrutiny due to their political leanings. Such groups were told they were required to comply with IRS requests,

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.

What did President Obama do on the evening of 9/11/12 when our men were under attack in Benghazi? The invaluable Andrew McCarthy reminds us that Obama and Secretary Clinton had a 10:00 p.m. phone call of which many (including, I think, Chris Wallace) have lost sight. This morning when Wallace asked Obama aide Dan Pfeiffer what Obama was up to that evening, Pfeiffer declared the line of inquiry “offensive.” Translation: Obama and his minions would prefer to “move on” and are warning the likes of FNC off:(Snip for video)The Weekly Standard’s Daniel Halper has posted the rush transcript

The Internal Revenue Service´s watchdog told top Treasury officials around June 2012 he was investigating allegations the tax agency had targeted conservative groups, for the first time indicating that Obama administration officials were aware of the explosive matter in the midst of the president´s re-election campaign. The disclosure to the Treasury general counsel and the deputy secretary was a cursory one, according to J. Russell George, the Treasury inspector general for tax administration. He said he didn´t reveal conclusions of the probe, which was in its early stages, and his disclosure came as part
