John King Obsesses on Benghazi Investigation as Republican 'Witch Hunt'

If you were expecting any useful  information in the article by CNN's John King pondering Why Benghazi Matters, you would be sadly disappointed. Out of 1029 words in his article, 422 or over 40% of the verbiage is devoted to speculating about if the congressional investigation into Benghazi is really a Republican "witch hunt." Although King pays lip service to what happened at Benghazi, it is the "witch hunt" theme he is most interested in as you can see from these Democrat talking point excerpts that he recites:

[PJ-Comix]

Erin Burnett is doing a special report on Benghazi tonight. I'll watch it but so far Jake Tapper is the best source on CNN for the Benghazi scandal.

[Little Ray]

Just like the McCarthy “witch hunts” there really are witches and their actions have killed people, and undermined national security.

Too bad we can’t burn the guilty at the stake. I’d pay to watch...

[No Socialist]

The political witch hunt was abu ghraib. The press couldn’t stop covering the horrid treatment of terrorists by putting underwear on their heads by a few wayward soldiers.

The Obama administration leaving our embassy and staff to die was just no big deal.

F all the media.

[circlecity]

Republican Congressional investigation: "witch hunt".
Democrat Congressional investigation: "performing constitutionaly imposed duty of oversight"

[Da Coyote]

Indeed.

And the witch (and simultaneously *itch) is named Hillary.

[liberalh8ter]

If fundraising undermines the issue, then why wasn't Obamacare undermined by Obama?

[Diogenesis]

Why does CNN lie over and over?

Just like always, follow the beds and money.

[Hotlanta Mike]

The families of the victims are republican? Who knew...

[jimfree]

There are quite a few witches in this administration.

Need to keep asking King and his cronies - “whose decision was it to make up the phony internet video cover story and push that lie out repeatedly?” They are sadly (and predictably) not even curious. How many consecutive cover stories did the NY Times run on Abu Ghraib? (Answer is 32!). Imagine if Benghazi happened under GWB...

[kristinn]

While trashing Republicans, John King’s article fails to even mention the You Tube and ‘talking points’ Obama cover-ups that have helped make Benghazi a White House scandal.

[Puppage]

Republican Congressional investigation: "witch hunt".

Democrat Congressional investigation: "performing constitutionaly imposed duty of oversight"

It's the same crap when it comes to the passing or defeat of bills.

If it's a dem proposed bill that passes it's: The People have spoken

If that same dem bill fails it's: This isn't over yet.

HOW I LOATHE THE LEFT

[DoughtyOne]

And this from the same crowd that still thinks Reagan caused Iran to hold our hostages until after Carter was gone.

And this from the same crowd that still thinks George Bush was AWOL.

Now those were important investigations, no Democrat objectives there...  /s

Benghazi gun running is why our embassies are closed throughout the ME and northern Africa.

[yefragetuwrabrumuy]

This shows opportunity. Demand that he retract his statements about witch-hunts, “because they are offensive to witches”. Accuse him of bigotry, etc.

I bet he would crawl and snivel.

[blackdog]

The arsenal of weapons controlled by Khadafi and his regime was secured and warehoused in Benghazi by the US Government using CIA personnel. Those weapons and cash were being used by our CIA and state department to game the overthrowing of long established governments in the region. Particularly those governments which quietly supported past American policies. Those governments needed to be replaced by Islamic militants and the Brotherhood. Benghazi(a port city)was serviced by ships bringing inventories on a regular basis.

All of this was illegal.

Now how is this not news?, let alone the military coordinated assault on the compound and murders of our people, which is an entirely different topic to investigate.

[GraceG]

It is a Phony Scandal you know...

Amb Stevens on the Phone: We are being attacked here, where is our security support...

Obama on the 3am Phone Call: ........(silence)......

Valerie Jarrett on the Oval Office Phone: Stand down or I will eat your skin pitiful human!!!

It is phoney because everyone was on the PHONE that night!!!
