‘Infuriated’ Boxer stormed out of Benghazi hearing
The Washington Times ^ | January 24th, 2013 | Jessica Chasmar

Posted on 01/25/2013 9:08:56 AM PST by Third Person

Sen. Barbara Boxer, D-Calif., told MSNBC’s Al Sharpton Wednesday night she was “infuriated” during Sen. Rand Paul’s questioning of Sec. Hillary Clinton and even left the hearing room. “When I heard him say those words, I walked out of the hearing room, and listened to him from behind the stage, because I was so infuriated at what that man said,” Ms Boxer said. Mr Paul said it was “inexcusable” for the State Department to ignore the Benghazi cables. “Had I been president at the time, and I found that you did not read the cables from Benghazi, you did not read the cables from Ambassador Stevens, I would have relieved you of your post,” he said during Wednesday’s hearing. “To suggest that she’s retiring from this post after traveling a million miles and being one of the greatest secretaries of state because of Benghazi is unbelievable,” Ms Boxer retorted on MSNBC. “To speak to Sec. Clinton that way, it says more about him than it does about her.” Boxer insisted Clinton “took full responsibility” for what happened in Benghazi and that Republicans are just simply playing politics.

What's that old saying about the flak being the heaviest when close to the target?

I guess the Eva Peron/Eva Braun midget Commie/Fascist crowd hates when people are reprimanded when they allow people to die and to not mess up an upcoming election.

I am a woman who firmly believes in equality between the sexes.

So let’s say Hilary Clinton, it was Secretary Robert Clinton. All other things being held equal, what would be going on in Washington right now?

Now, let’s say that Robert Clinton had an R after his name rather than a D.

My guess is that Boxer would be throwing the spears and her ammunition would be the same as Rand Paul’s - what did he know and when did he know it?

And no one would object, especially by basically having a hissy fit, during tough questions that need to be answered.

What the media reports be then?

Would they be equal?

Someone should ask Boxer if Obama was gun running out of the Benghazi annex since Hillary didn’t know.

Empty words from Hillary Clinton do not equate to taking responsibility for failure to do her job. If she took full responsibility, she would have resigned immediately. She could have forbidden the ambassador from traveling to Benghazi. She could have pulled us out of Libya.

And what was it the great diplomat Hillary Clinton said at the death of Moammar Khadafi? Something like, “We came, we saw, he died”?

If hitlary took credit she would be hanging by a noose for treason or full of holes from a firing squad. And you boxer, forget about Americans bear arms, because we would be happy to use our bare hands to strangle politicians with our bare hands.

A firing squad is too good for treasonous scum like the Hildebeest. Quite possibly, so is the noose.

I don’t care that there are those who think Hillary is brilliant, but I don’t. She was in over her head the entire time during her stint. Her theatrics just point out that she is a cold and selfish shrew who is indifferent to the loss of human life due to her inability to do her job. She doesn’t care about the human loss, she is just mad that she has to waste her precious time dealing with this. After all, what difference does it make?

The same goes for Boxer. She really is clueless about most of what she rants about. She just wants the attention. Never forget that she scolded a military officer for calling her ma’am. What an arrogant and ignorant fish wife she is.

Rand Paul was brilliant in his skewering and 100% correct. Bravo to him.

“Boxer insisted Clinton “took full responsibility” for what happened in Benghazi and that Republicans are just simply playing politics.”

I’m sure in most - if not all- Dim’s minds just having the hearings in the first place was “playing politics.” These people absolutely disgust me.
