This past week was the biggest in a long time for Benghazi news. How did some of the leading lights of the lefty blogosphere handle the Ben Rhodes e-mail and related topics? We report; you decide.

1. David Corn of Mother Jones, best known for bringing to light the Mitt Romney 47-percent tape, wrote on Friday that the Rhodes e-mail is "pretty standard stuff" and that "all the fuss about [it]...is smoke, not fire." Corn admits that the White House "certainly has bungled part of its Benghazi reaction" but that the Republicans' case nonetheless "should have been...closed, a long time back."

Corn wrapped up by suggesting that conservatives' obsession with Benghazi resembles an untreatable "virus," one that apparently makes them really hungry for sweets (emphasis added):

David Corn is some leftwing faggie who writes for the far left The Nation. One of a free society’s genuine parasites.

If the bins are empty then what do they have to worry about and why did they have to come up with the video lie?

Good point. Why all the redactions in the emails and the stonewalling. There is a lot there and Corn knows it. The libs are scared to death at what is coming out, that’s why they are so dismissive in public.

Mr. Korn,

The bins are filled with Fast and Furious RPG’s, shoulder fired heat seeking missiles and other armaments from the US arsenal transferred to Al Qaeda.

When Ambassador Stevens complained he was lured to Benghazi and killed. Subpoena of State Department documents will prove this and it is my belief that Trey Gowdy already has these documents in his possession. Hence he asked these questions of the press.

Why would you trust anything anyone tells us who is in this administration. Lies and deception are the modus opperendi.
