Sunday Shows: Democrats back away from Obama on Benghazi, Syria
Breitbart ^ | May 5, 2012

Posted on 05/05/2013 2:53:59 PM PDT by Rennes Templar

Democrats on Sunday morning's news shows appeared to back away from President Barack Obama on his administration's response to the Benghazi terror attack and his blurry "red line" on Syria's chemical weapons.

On Fox News Sunday, Rep. Stephen Lynch (D-MA) admitted that the Obama administration's talking points on Benghazi, edited to remove references to extremism and blaming protests against an anti-Islamic YouTube video for the violence, were "false. They were wrong. There were no protests outside the Benghazi compound."

On CBS News' Face the Nation, Rep. Dutch Ruppersberger (D-MD), the Ranking Member of the House Intelligence Committee, also admitted that the administration's talking points were wrong, though putting the changes down to the fact that the intelligence changed over time in a "volatile situation."

Republicans remain divided on the Syria issue, but on Benghazi the caucus anticipates a week of testimony that will prove deeply damaging to the Obama administration, as well as the media's attempts to protect him.

It’s too late.

They backed Hussein to the hilt — the ‘Rats own him and his non-stop bungling now.

I believe that all the leftist loons will be doing what they can to intimidate witnesses but this time the problem is more serious than an abortion rights disagreement. Code Pinko and all the other little leftist Nazis will be doing their thing but I think the witnesses know the score and are willing to risk it.

It will be on a CSPAN channel, 1 or 2 or 3. If both and house and senate are in session, it will be on 3.

Since this is a touchy subject, Fox may show it and maybe CNN will. Watch it on a CSPAN channel as they don't break in with commercials.

Time: It shouldn't start any earlier than 9 am eastern. I haven't seen an actual time but I'll start looking for it no later than 9 eastern. That's 8 am for me in the central time zone.

THAT’s what I am talking about. We need to be on the phones next week for giving all the encouragement and positive energy we can.

I can't imagine the horror our ambassador and his security team faced as the attackers closed in on them and they realized that Obama, Clinton and Panetta had decided to let them die rather than send rescue forces into a Muslim stronghold.


But I still feel the shame of knowing that the plane bringing the dead Americans back to Dover was diverted to Andrews AFB so Obama and Hillary could enjoy a photo op for their friends in the media while the families of those slain waited.

“I burning question is what will it take for the media to turn on Zero? I’m guessing a whole lot more than the Benghazi coverup.”

It will never happen. A whore is a whore is a whore. And, they are all whores.

“Chris just made a fool out of him by playing a video of her saying she knew nothing about the request.”

Ahh, but let us not forget the Hildabeast’s fall and subsequent so-called barin seizures. Building her cover story with the doc’s help. How long before the doc’s brakes fail or he is added to the Clinton’s Arkancide list in some other accident?

He’ll be Fostered. These people are dangerous and I put nothing past them. They already proved they can kill Americans. What matters now is will they slide out of this too

I’m still angry over that apology video they used tax money on that was sent to Pakistan. :(.

I certainly agree with you on the apology. Heinous!

"Hillary Clinton is THE original source of the 'video did it' excuse for Benghazi, Cairo and all the rest of the embassy riots around the world. Hillary did it!"

I believe you are correct. Or else it was Valery Jarret behind the scenes who told Hilderbeast to run with the narrative and H.R.Clinton would get the administration's support. I know there's no love loss between Jarret and Clinton since it was Panetta and Clinton who gave the green light to take out OBL over Jarett's objections.

The trail leads directly back to Hillary. Who else was involved is anyone’s guess at this point. Get whoever was making those Tweets out of the Cairo Embassy before Hillary herself used the account that night and ask them where they got the idea. If they name Hillary then hang it all on her unless she wants to talk.

But now we don’t have an active US media, so that doesn’t happen.

They are as active as always. In 1973 they were actively involved in engineering a coup to bring down a Republican President, and for the past 5 years they have been actively involved in propping up a 'marxist', and traitorous tool.
