The enemy of my enemy
I was kind of lukewarm about Susan Rice as the next Secretary of State -- she has high qualifications, but she'd been around for a while a now -- but that's all changed.
The enemy of my enemy
I was kind of lukewarm about Susan Rice as the next Secretary of State -- she has high qualifications, but she'd been around for a while a now -- but that's all changed. The McCarthyism-style smearing of her -- with about as much evidence as Joe McCarthy had on that laundry list in Wheeling -- by Sen. John McCain & Co. has been one of the more disgraceful episodes in modern politics. Which is saying quite a lot when you think of it. That makes her nomination and confirmation no longer an option -- but a necessity. We'll be getting a solid cabinet member -- and putting an end to swift-boating in our time.

Diaperman needs his Diaper Changed His Diaper and Head is Full of you know what!!!!!!— KOOLK777- Brilliant, intellectually charged response.
For two weeks Ms. Rice blamed the 9/11 assault and the Ambassador's assassination on a video that had been posted in July. We now know and the administration has acknowledged that the attack and subsequent murders were not related to this video, that it was a terrorist attack by an Al Qaeda linked organization. The administration and intelligence community also confirm they knew this while the attack was occurring on 9/11/12
A very simple question: Why did Ms. Rice insist over the two weeks following the assassination that it was not terrorist related? And if Ms. Rice did not lie, who gave her the false information? This is basic, no partisan vitriol required....— Diaperman50 - Rice's two weeks of servile lying at the behest of the Obama administration brings to mind the embarrassing image of Colin Powell standing in front of those satellite images and saying what the Bush administration told him to say. You cant reach this level in a government career if you actually have any personal integrity.— Yogi Spinoza
- You trot a black woman flunkie out to knowingly lie on 5 new shows to keep your propaganda lies alive and to blunt political damage. When the facts comeout caught, you attack the only news media outlet who dared report on it and then throw the race and gender card out even though you know she lied. A black woman cannot be questioned. It is like Jews and Palestinians, it doesn matter what is said, it's who says it. Congratulations on your win, country be damned.— tr88
- rhodes scholar flunkie? republican senator alan simpson on hardball just said that republicans today love their party more than their country. why don't you radicals move? you will never like this country so move. or stop trying to destroy it.
- This is the type of thinking that allows Philadelphia to vote fro one party for 60 years as it goes down the rathole. And how a President gets 100% in the same wards with as Civil Rights "icon" Jesse Jackson said "up to 50% black male unemployment". Results dont matter, telling the truth doesnt matter, even to the media especially to the media) winning and sustaining the failed bureaucracies matter.— tr88
- prove that they lied. you can't. give it up. if obama got away with something, he got away with it. you can't prove otherwise and now you can't shut up about it. poor baby.
In the ultimate bit of irony, Mitt Romney finished with 47% of the popular vote.

- What a laugh. We all know Rwanda wasn't genocide and we all know Benghazi was all about a video with 300 views. The sheeple will believe anything. Baaaaaaaaaah— teardownthisfishwrap
- Let's see...who's opinion should I believe regarding Benghazi...Tom Ricks, who's more accomplished and has more knowledge and about these types of attacks than all of the pundits on Fox combined...or some members of the Goober Squad - fish wrapper, tr88, Yogi, Darth, Blair and Diaperman? Hmmm...— wokmaster
- I didnt catch Tom Ricks saying trotting out Rice to knowingly lie about an attack on our embassy killing 4 people including the Ambassador qualified her for Secretary of State. Or was that you projecting your opinion. — tr88
- Maybe he would have spoke about Susan Rice if Fox didn't cut him off after 90 seconds for stating his opinion. — wokmaster
