Benghazi Worse than Watergate
PJMedia, by Roger L Simon

Original Article

Posted By:steveW, 9/29/2012 10:48:08 AM

For over forty years now, the Watergate scandal — the June 1972 break-in at the Democratic National Committee headquarters and the subsequent cover-up by the Nixon administration — has been the sine qua non of American political malfeasance. It has been followed by myriad other “gates” affecting both parties but has never been superseded. Until now. Benghazi or Benghazigate, as some call it, is worse. Far worse. Incomparably worse. Watergate caught numerous public officials lying, including the president of the United States, but Benghazigate has all that and more.

Comments:
Intentional. Complicit. Worse than a mere scandal. The Obama administration and their MSM palace guard have forever damned themselves.

No body died in Watergate.
4 people were murdered due to zippy's arrogance, Hillary's incompetence.
And yet Congress recessed? Really?
They all need to go...every single worthless blood sucking tick one of them.

Let's see, a two bit burglary in an attempt to get some info on Democrat plans followed by a cover up vs. a policy of appeasement of radical Muslims bent on world domination leading to the murder of a US ambassador and three embassy staffers followed by a cover up. Yep, I'd judge the latter worse than the former.

Lies on top of lies
and that is just the MSM.
NYT helpfully repeats that it's Romney's fault.

The effort to shift blame away from Al Qaeda and terrorists on the part of Obama is focused and determined.
The question is, why?

My take, We supplied the weapons to the muzzies for their arab spring party, we now want the weapons back, muzzies say no way barry, muzzies then go after the embassy using the weapons WE supplied, kill a few Seals and the Ambassador, and guess what? they keep the weapons, kinda like fast and furious for the arab spring break gang

That’s exactly right, #6, and Stevens was sent to Benghazi without security to negotiate the return of the weapons by his boss Hillary and the Kumbaya President. The leak of his itinerary and the location of the safe house was real time high level intelligence and my bet is that Hillary’s top aide Huma Abedin of Muslim Brotherhood fame was the source.

There would never have been a Watergate without the media. There will be no Benghazigate because the media will not report on it.

The Pubbies - - with Milquetoast Milt at the forefront - - are the most gutless pack of weenies ever to disgrace the face of the Earth.

They're hiding in the weeds while Zippy and his commie clique destroy our great nation.

We all can clearly see the atrocities which are taking place - - yet the Pubbies raise not a peep about them. The only way left for our nation to be saved is an uprising - - a true rebellion - - by people like us in the form of the Tea party movement.

I've posted often as to how much I despise the gutless weenie Pubbies - - and they've recently given me even more reasons to be revulsed - - not that I needed them.

The most "violent" action that occurred in the entire Watergate affair was when G. Gordon Libby shot out a light bulb over a rear door at that hotel with an air-powered pellet gun.

So far the collapse of Obama's pro-Islamic foreign policy fiasco has resulted in 4 dead US personnel, a couple dozen dead "over-zealous movie reviewers" among the rioters, and to a varying degree the attacking/sacking/burning of embassies, consulates and at least one school.

Let's not even get started on Fast & Furious and it's implications to terrorism and border security. (One dead agent inside the US, two in Mexico and a couple hundred dead Mexican citizens - so far.)

When an irresponsible, arrogant, egotistical brat is put into the office of "Mayor for a Day" in some small town in fly-over country, it is funny, but usually no permanent damage is done.

On the other hand, an irresponsible (Not me! Bush did it!) arrogant, egotistical, 51 year-old adolescent-for-life marxist centered ideologue is put into the most powerful office on the planet - it is not merely worse than Watergate.

It is potentially worse than any scandal that has occurred in American history -- possibly in the fullness of time, than any that has occurred in world history.

Thank you #11 and #12. We have two alternatives and there is only one good choice.

If one goes back to 1952 and the Eisenhower/Stephenson election, one could find disagreements within the Republican Party about Eisenhower's "Republican purity" before he was nominated. However, once Ike became the Republican candidate, most Republicans got behind him, because to give another four years to the Democrat party was unthinkable.

Ike was an exceptional General in WWII and those skills carried over into his governing. Was he our best President? No, but he broke the long line of Democrat policies.

I believe Romney will be a very good President - only time will tell if he is great, just as in Ike's case (jury's still out). All I know is that his campaign theme was a good one "I Like Ike".

We need to shout from the rooftops: "Romney is Right" for these times.

Where are Boehner and McConnell on this? You know that Pelosi and Reid would be all over the media. They would have called press conferences and immediately connected it to Bush.

They are many in our party who would say that we must not go there. We must rise above it, but what has that gotten us? We are watching the swift decline of the republic and where are its defenders? The Republicans must understand that they must push back when a situation like this arises. It is their duty and obligation.

When it is clear that through this administrations' policies that Americans needlessly died, should they, at the very least, demand justice for these men? Mr. McConnell and Mr. Boehner, where is your honor? We don't expect an unhinged partisan rant but how about some sincere and honest questions. The families of these men deserve it.

FTA "To recap, this was an armed assault, not a spontaneous demonstration. The weapons used against us were likely in the hands of Al Qaeda because our President on his own put them there, and we are being denied our free speech rights as part of an elaborate ruse to keep the press from reporting the scandal and the voters from learning before the election what really went down." and the msm sees no story here?

BUT -- WE the people own the ballot box -- for the most part -- except in california and Illinois -- so the October surprise will come in November when President Romney will be elected.

The media will shake their heads and wonder -- how could this happen. We gave them President Romney (thanks for the Rinos) thinking his Mormon roots would do him in and yet he survives.....

I don't have time to list the things in Fauxbama's regime that have been worse than Watergate. That would take all morning and I've got things to do. The bottom line is that the LSM turned Watergate into the French Revolution 2.0 and the Benghazi enormity will be quickly brushed under the rug with every other catastrophe associated with Fauxbama. Our views of history are now so distorted by the LSM that it's difficult to even talk about a 'history' at all. They should all burn in hell for their lies and misrepresentations.

I think people just expected more competent leadership out of the U.S. Government back in 1972, when a minor black bag job took down a president. Barry Soetoro does far worse on a daily basis and nobody raises an eyebrow. Possible reasons for zero Republican response to what amounts to a criminal act of treason and reckless endangerment by the president:

They are still afraid of his immature little temper tantrums.

They are being paid somehow for their silence.

They are actually speaking out but the media is refusing to broadcast it.

I'm going with reason (2)

Please forgive second posting here, but I am so disturbed this morning. I agree with #38-- nothing sticks to Democrats! This subject here is "old news" now-nothing to see here, move along. The MSM is on to the debates and how Mitt should look "nice and human" to the audience since he is obviously losing. Power line says they see the Republicans pulling back accepting a loss. All the conventional wisdom is that we have lost. The consequences of another Obama term are so horrible, it is fearful to contemplate. All I have in my arsenal is my vote and it apparently will not be enough....

Though there are 3 more day 'till the 1st debate,consider that all our news outlets report the same polls,use similar,or near identical descriptive terms and the "script writers" getting their info from only 2 sources: Assoc. Press and Reuters.

Consider Catherine HerridgeL she does investigate and report NEW info, to FNC.

Why are the "stars" of the Cables,sitting on their duffs? FOX has "Campaign Carl", thats it! I suggest it is a money problem and their budget allows for Meghan & Bret to attend the debate, but none for "roving reporters" three days before, sampling the "battleground" states and meeting the voters. There are contests for Senators,House members and their findings could "interrupt" the narrative already written for the Stars back home. Shameful!

Re: #9 and 10- I also believe this is the only way to return to Constitutional government as intended by the Founders but it isn't going to happen. Even the (current) conservative majority is too complacent with the incremental erosion of governance by law, separation of powers, and voter integrity. The Tea Party is more concerned with this erosion than the average Republican but not to the point of action as you suggest. We study the issues, voice our displeasure, diligently vote (often for the least unfavorable candidate), and hope for the best. By the time definitive citizen action is required to save the US from the devolution into islamified communism, it will likely be too late. I wish it weren't so but nothing on the horizon portends otherwise.

My experience with soviet union media (I left USSR for America in 1992 when I was 47) is the same as nowadays in US - government and government media was lying blatantly. The only source of truth were western radio stations: Voice of America, BBC, radio Free Europe - which soviets were jamming!
In the US - the same with gov'mt and gov'mt media. The source of truth - blogs, Drudge, Breitbart and partially FoxTV.

hard to know who's to blame for the deaths, but we know for sure is wasn't Obama's...and probably not Hillary's. Last weekend the NYT's on a front page article suggested ("some quietly say") that THE AMBASSADOR himself was to blame. Article purported that he eschewed security services in prder to rub elbows with the natives.

Yep, the NYT threw the dead Ambassador under the bus, to protect Barack and Hillary.

First: Whatever the administration calls it be it "workplace violence" or "one off" or whatever, we are at war with radical Islam. The administration will never admit it but we all know it to be true.

Secondly, you don't have to look very hard to understand why the MSM gives Obama a pass on everything. The American liberal establishment is invested in the success of the first Black president of the United States. No matter what he does, no matter his screw-ups and malfeasance they will find a way to excuse it. They do not want to be responsible for the failure of the first Black president so they will never criticize him to the point of opposition. Were the first Black president to be defeated at the polls in November it would be a repudiation of everything that the liberal progressive coalition stands for. So they will accept anything Obama does unquestionably.

Years from now historians will look at this period and try to understand the lemming sense of the MSM and they will see clearly what has been at stake here. We, who are living through these times, cannot see it as well, since we are so close to the events and we seek rational answers. The answers are not more complicated than the left will not permit the first Black president to fail, under any circumstances, no matter what!

They have to be gutless or spineless because while in many ways you are right if the republicans take a hard line they will simply lose.

If you want someone to blame blame yourself or those like you.

It was you or those like you, who let the evil agenda of sophistry that is Post Modernism creep into the public schools.

It was you or those like you who continued to sit in churches that stopped preaching the Gospel.

It was you or those like you that by failing to deal with social issues like racism allowed the evil ones to claim that issue

It was you or those like you that said "This can never happen happen here"

It was you or those like you who put a little personal comfort over the defense of liberty and Truth in places like California.

At this point if the Republicans really stood up the only way they could stop this is with a second civil war. The problem is it would not be North against South but children against parents and grand parents.

The only other option is to do it the way the left did it. slowly, incrementally and and all the while appearing to be innocent

he showed potential personal concern and fear of radical islamofascistrs whilst on duty...on `11 Spt....in derogation of the WH agenda...before the election!!!
It's a shocking business! /s/

Can we dispense with the foolish comparison with Watergate, please?
Benghazi and Watergate? Incomparable, to say the least.

We´re Doomed, Send Money Fast!

It´s a perennial favorite of scammers to claim we face pending doom that can be averted only if we quickly send them more money or do what they want us to. From The Music Man´s "Ya Got Trouble" to the emails purporting to be from family members who´ve been robbed or imprisoned overseas, the game is a constant money maker for the con men who employ it. Count President Obama as one of the masters of the art of diverting attention from facts, crying doom and grabbing yet more money from our pockets to enrich his buddies

Obama’s Anaconda Plan Squeezes
the Entire Economy

Let’s take a step back and recognize the breadth and width of the Obama administration’s assault on the US economy. We tend to divide ourselves along economic lines, upper, middle and lower or working class. It’s clear that Barack Obama has a plan for all three levels. If you’re a top earner, in his mind you’ve “made enough money” and should pay more in taxes. That’s his plan for the wealthy: Pay more taxes. This will take some money out of investments and companies and send it to the government. Some jobs will be either lost or aborted.

Obama’s Declaration of Collectivism

One of the least remarked upon aspects of President Obama’s inaugural speech was his attempt to co-opt the Founding Fathers’ Declaration of Independence to bolster his liberal-left agenda. Sure, the president quoted one of the most important sentences in world history: “We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness.” So far, so good.

In college I read a novel called The Last of the Just by André Schwarz-Bart inspired by a legend/theory from the Talmud — that there are thirty-six righteous souls (the Lamed Vav) in every generation whose existence justifies “the purpose of mankind” to God. From Wikipedia: As a mystical concept, the number 36 is even more intriguing. It is said that at all times there are 36 special people in the world, and that were it not for them, all of them, if even one of them was missing, the world would come to an end.

The 2008 and 2012 elections have revealed that an escalating number, perhaps a majority, of Americans are comfortable with the concept of transforming the United States into a Euro-Socialist democracy. While this may be easily sold to an increasingly ill-educated populace by those desirous of capturing political power, the reality is far different when it comes to the price to be paid. A price that is not only monetary but societal as well. Yet there is no party in this nation willing, regardless of the political cost

Last week, a book review appeared in the Wall Street Journal by South African journalist Rian Malan, a man from the Afrikaner family who ran the apartheid regime but broke with them and became an opponent of apartheid. Still, he was a journalist of integrity who did not hesitate to report on and to write about the dark side of the African liberation movement. His first book, My Traitor’s Heart, was an international bestseller in which Malan traced out his return from exile as he sought to learn the truth about his racist ancestors

Being just weeks away from reaching our debt ceiling and with frightening talk about a fiscal cliff, there´s much sympathy in Washington for tax increases. Even conservatives are wavering. A few Republicans have dumped their anti-tax pledges, and former Nixon official-turned-actor Ben Stein favors taxing the wealthy. He says that we can´t cut our way to a balanced budget and insists that the revenue end must be addressed. But I have news for him: he´ll have a better chance finding Ferris Bueller on his day off than he will locating fiscal sanity through tax increases.

Small minds always leap to the answers given the last time around, which is probably why Maxine Waters keeps getting re-elected. But the last time is not necessarily the same as this time. A terrorist attack is not the same as the Cold War, a war in Afghanistan is not the same as a war in Iraq, and Mitt Romney is not the same as John McCain or Bob Dole. But since the election, many conservatives seem to be coalescing around the explanation for our defeat given by Jenny Beth Martin of the Tea Party Patriots, who said:

These last couple of weeks I have divided my time largely between talking to cleanup crews, insurance adjusters, and contractors who promise, eventually, to undo the ravages of Hurricane Sandy and restore our house to its antediluvian semi-splendor — “All in good time, Mr. Kimball” — and reading Like the Roman, Simon Heffer’s magisterial 1998 biography of the great, if much and unfairly maligned, British statesman Enoch Powell. To many people these days, Powell is totally unknown. To those who do recall his name, he is the author of the so-called “Rivers of Blood Speech”

Do you remember the tale of "The Gingerbread Man"? It´s a children´s story in which a gingerbread man runs away from the baker, lots of people try to catch him as he crows, "Run, run as fast as you can/ You can´t catch me I´m the gingerbread man." In the version I remember a fox finally does catch the braggart and eats him piece by piece. This week, in defending the public statements of his UN Ambassador Susan Rice, Obama said we should come after him, not her. Pugnacious remark -- just like the gingerbread man´s.

I have never been so unhappy to be right. I've long said that Barack Obama would win re-election, and two weeks ago I stated as much in print. In making this prediction, I was almost alone among traditionalist pundits, with some, such as Dick Morris (Mr. Batting Zero), actually forecasting a Mitt Romney landslide. And, no, I'm not pointing this out to numb despair with some perverse kind of gloating, like a man consumed in flames looking to suck on an ice cube. It's because of why I knew that Romney would lose: America is lost.

Media Celebrate Increased

In January of 2009, when President Obama took office, the unemployment rate was 7.8%. Four years and around $5 trillion dollars in debt later, it's 7.9%. When Obama took office the long-term unemployment (U-6) rate was 14.2%. Today, it's 14.6%. Obama promised us 5.2%. And, still, the media celebrates the jobs numbers. If you weren't watching the cable nets, consider yourself lucky. It was nauseating. CNN's Erin Burnett and Soledad O'Brien were practically jumping out of their chairs. Need I even describe MSNBC? Keep in mind that the media collective isn't thrilled because

HARTFORD, Conn. -- With time running out on the chance to pass gun control legislation, President Barack Obama on Monday warned Congress not to use delaying tactics against tighter regulations and told families of the Sandy Hook Elementary School shooting victims that he´s "determined as ever" to honor their children with tougher laws. Obama´s gun control proposals have run into resistance on Capitol Hill, leaving their fate in doubt. Efforts by Senate Democrats to reach compromise with Republicans over expanding required federal background checks have yet to yield an agreement, and conservatives were promising to try

North Korea’s young leader Kim Jong-un is waiting for United States President Barack Obama to make a phone call to Pyongyang to discuss easing tensions on the Korean peninsula, according to Russia’s news agency Itar-Tass. The report cited United Kingdom diplomats, saying Pyongyang was demanding the U.S. president personally call Kim Jong-un as one of the conditions to relieve the current conflict at hand. Itar-Tass also quoted the U.K.’s Sky News as saying North Korea currently has eight nuclear warheads.

Beginning a week of high pressure on gun control, the White House on Monday accused some Republican senators of cowardice for planning to filibuster gun legislation without allowing the full Senate to vote on President Obama’s initiatives. “If they oppose this legislation, have the courage to say so on the floor and vote no,” said White House press secretary Jay Carney. “Don’t block it. Don’t hide behind a procedural action to prevent a vote. That’s the wrong thing to do, and that’s how the president clearly feels.”

The murder trial of abortionist Kermit Gosnell largely is being ignored by the mainstream media, even in the face of grisly testimony, such as what we heard yesterday. Life News reports: ...a former employee described how she heard a baby scream during a live-birth abortion. Abortion clinic employee Sherry West described an incident which "really freaked (her) out" and related to the jury how she heard a child who was born alive following an abortion scream.

Chelsea Clinton has raised her profile in the last few days, which sparked the inevitable question about the former first daughter´s future: Will she ever be like Mom and Dad and run for office? Clinton, 33, essentially said "maybe" in an interview that aired Monday on NBC´s Today show. "Right now I´m grateful to live in a city, a state and a country where I strongly support my mayor, my governor, my president and my senators and my representative," said Clinton, whose father, Bill, was president from 1993-2001 and her mother, Hillary

More than 700 Special Operations veterans are urging members of Congress to back a select committee to investigate last year’s Benghazi terrorist attack, according to a letter first obtained by Fox News. The letter from the group, “Special Operations Speaks,” supports the appointment of a special committee tasked with the single mission of investigating the attack that left Ambassador Christopher Stevens and three other Americans dead, and shut down the CIA operation in an annex of the Benghazi consulate, in the Sept. 11, 2012 attack. “Congress must show some leadership and provide answers to the public

President Barack Obama is bringing 11 relatives of those killed in the shooting at Connecticut´s Sandy Hook Elementary School to Washington on Air Force One on Monday so they can personally encourage senators to back gun legislation that faces tough opposition. A nonprofit organization that works with the families, Sandy Hook Promise, said that after Obama´s speech on gun control in Hartford, he is flying with relatives of seven children and one staffer killed during December´s massacre at the school.

There was growing buzz over the weekend that a bipartisan agreement on gun control — a deal that would expand background checks — could hit the floor as early as this week. However, any deal could be derailed by the looming threat of a Republican filibuster involving Texas Sen. Ted Cruz. With Cruz standing proudly in the way of any gun legislation, Democrats are trying to make him pay a political price — and even a couple of high-profile Republicans are questioning his tactics.

Amid all of the very real threats of war and stuff from North Korea, you´d think American intelligence officers want as much video footage of the enemy as possible. Well, here is one video featuring North Korean exercises and Kim Jong-Un holding a gun, and we´ll say this: they certainly get points for presentation. Remember the clap-happy report from Dennis Rodman´s diplomatic basketball vacation? This video comes courtesy of the same Youtube channel that gave us that Rodman video. It appears to be the same state news channel.(Snip for video)This latest dispatch from North Korea´s state television

The case of a same-sex Connecticut couple accused of repeatedly raping and abusing two of their nine adopted boys is headed for trial. Married couple George Harasz and Douglas Wirth of Glastonbury were supposed to be sentenced Friday in Hartford Superior Court under a plea deal, but instead withdrew from their agreement with prosecutors. The men had already pleaded no contest in January to one felony count each of risk of injury to a minor — a reduction from even more serious charges related to sexual assault....
