Rep. Chaka Fattah: GOP’s ‘attack’ on president over Benghazi harmful to troop morale (*BARF*)
Twitchy ^ | 10/26/12

OK, it’s time to let Nakoula Basseley Nakoula, the maker of that anti-Muslim video no one actually saw, out of jail — a Pennsylvania Congressman has found the guilty party in the whole Benghazigate mess: Republicans and Fox News.

Obama’s deputy campaign manager Stephanie Cutter let us know two weeks ago that “the entire reason [Benghazi] has become the political topic it is, is because of Mitt Romney and Paul Ryan.” Her boss told a Denver TV reporter essentially the same thing just today, saying that details will have to wait because “the election has nothing to do with four brave Americans getting killed and us wanting to find out exactly what happened.”

Today Rep. Chaka Fattah (D-Pa.) also pointed the finger at Republicans (and Fox News) for politicizing the tragedy. Not only are Republicans hurting the president and his re-election chances; they’re also hurting troop morale by demanding the truth from the Commander in Chief.

Fattah’s original tweet on the subject was deleted for some reason.

New reports suggest that multiple requests for military assistance were denied as the Benghazi attack was taking place, and twice today the president has dodged questions, saying that more than a month later, “we are finding out exactly what happened.” We’d suggest the president’s ignorance or incompetence on this issue is a much more serious threat to the morale of the troops (and their families) than Fox’s “attacks.”

Oh, good God....why do we have a representative, Dem or Pubbie with the name Chaka Fattah????

This just explains soooooo much.

Much prayer and ammo for even after this election.

the POS CIC actions have an effect on morale. You’d be surprised what they are saying now.

Didn’t Chaka Fattah have some hits quite a while back? “I’m Every Woman” and “I Feel for You.” Man, I loved those songs!!

Not sure but 10 days of heavy antibiotics might clear it up.

But the fact the troops now know Obama is willing to abandon them in the field during a firefight is just hunky dory, neh?

No, what is undermining morale is for those warfighters knowing they may be left behind as well, as the 2nd military caller into Rush stated today. ( The call was around 2 or so EST, not sure, was waiting at my son’s bus stop).

Chaka Fattah sounds like the noise one makes fresh off a baked bean bender.

You should visit any social ministry and notice the names of the black single mothers that sign up for handouts.

We have a totally lost generation living among us and a future generation waiting for a handout.

Things do not look pretty for these United States.

Knowing that the CoC and his flying monkeys have absolutely no concern for you except as it relates to their own image is the real morale-killer.

Here’s hoping that on his remaining campaign stops the POTUS is greeted with signs and chants of “STAND DOWN”.

How did the moral of our troops fair when Bush was in office and the rats were saying the war in Iraq was lost? But all of a sudden those venting rodent rectums care about America`s fighting forces?
