Transparency, the current vogue word for truth-telling, is usually a good thing, unless you’re trying to fool all the people some of the time, like spending 7,000 words to resurrect a fairy tale in Benghazi, all to give a helping hand to a lady in distress.
The New York Times understands that Hillary Clinton is likely to be the only credible hope the Democrats have for 2016 and that she already needs lots of remedial help. The Times huffed and puffed to deliver an excuse for betrayal in Benghazi, meant to second Mrs. Clinton’s famous alibi for her tortured misfeasance as secretary of state — “What difference, at this point, does it make?”
The right response might have made a lot of difference to an American ambassador who lay dead, slain at the hands of Islamic terrorists, and three other Americans who had to give up their lives because nobody at the White House could be bothered to ride to the rescue. President Obama and his frightened and timid acolytes, including Mrs. Clinton, insisted that this was not Islamic terror or the perfidy of al Qaeda, but merely the reaction of innocent Muslims offended by a video posted on YouTube mocking the religion of the Prophet Muhammad.
Even after the White House dispatched Susan Rice, who was then the U.S. ambassador to the United Nations, to push the confection about the video as revealed truth, almost nobody believed it. The White House couldn’t even find anybody else who would say he believed it.
David Kirkpatrick, the Cairo bureau chief of The New York Times, grunted, burped and produced a tiny mouse of special pleading, an account with nothing new of much importance, except a few colorful facts of the sort that were once the popcorn of newsmagazine journalism.

I won’t hold my breath, but if the Republicans don’t create bumper stickers and ads using Stephens being dragged dead with blue lips then they are stupid. That picture says it all.
Can someone put that on this thread for clarity? thanks
Do they think nobody remembers any of this???
With picture of hell-spawned SOS Hillary superimposed next to Stevens saying, "What different does it make?"
Of course she won’t. Of course no one will.
Not in this life, anyway.
Bumper stickers are good. Billboards are awesome!
Time for someone to put some serious money up for this billboard offensive, if any of our people have money left.
The LSM and Left Liliputians, thanks to Phil Robertson, are learning all their evil traps to keep Gulliver’s America down just became unsnapped.
And when we take down Cornyn in 8 weeks, the rest of the nation will tsunami as well and end their own RAT’s careers.
All the stars are aligned.
I will be voting against Cornyn in the primary. Any polling or other data that suggests he will lose?
The NYTimes has an editorial today denouncing Republican “conspiracy theorists” intent on discrediting Obama and Hillary. It declares that the Times’ report of what happened at Benghazi is “the authoritative version” - and furthermore what happened is all due to CIA ineptitude and lack of understanding. (Obama and Hillary knew nothing and weren’t told anything.)
The Times is a laughing stock.
The fact the NYT is trying this tactic three years ahead of the election demonstrates the problem the Democrats have.
Hillary is the odds on favorite for the Democrat nomination, but she is badly damaged goods with considerable baggage. Their only hope is to create a "new narrative" by trying to whitewash Hillary's past. The fact they think they need three years to do the whitewash is telling.
The problem we face is that the Republicans are more focused on the Tea Party as an enemy than on Hillary. May God bless the real conservatives in 2014. Primaries are our friend.
RINO Elite: "That would be ungentlemanly. Why, the Democrats are Americans just like us...except for their collectivist fantasies about murdering millions of their political opponents, but we are sure that is nothing but election year bluster. When it gets right down to it, they are good people you can rely on - just like us. So won't you please, please give us a few votes this time? We'll even promise not to take away any spending program you really like."
Not on this earth.
It works every time, because no one in the media has the courage to point out that she is lying.
Yes, I like this idea!
