Left-Wing Writer Max Blumenthal Helped Craft Hillary’s ‘Youtube Video’ Benghazi Explanation
TheDailyCaller.com ^ | 05/27/2015 | PATRICK HOWLEY

Left-wing writer Max Blumenthal helped inspire Hillary Clinton’s debunked talking point that an obscure YouTube movie called “Innocence of Muslims” was responsible for the deadly terrorist attack on the U.S. consulate in Benghazi, Libya in 2012.

The son of Clinton’s longtime political adviser and informal Libya consultant, Max Blumenthal pushed his conspiratorial theories onto the secretary of state in the hours after Ambassador Chris Stevens and three others were killed.

The Daily Caller reported in December that Hillary Clinton received the “Youtube video” talking points before the rest of the Obama administration. Clinton was the first administration official to suggest that the violence in Benghazi was caused by spontaneous reaction to the anti-Muslim video, rather than by a terrorist group affiliated with al-Qaida.

Clinton first mentioned the video publicly on the morning of Sept. 13, 2012. Obama’s White House speechwriter Ben Rhodes, an NYU-educated fiction writer who was initially blamed for crafting the talking points, didn’t mention the video until Sept. 14, when he sent around a memo preparing Susan Rice and others for Sunday-show appearances to discuss the attack.

Gads, you mean he actually did something for his $10,000 a month salary? That must have taken him two or three hours...

His Daddy was getting $10,000 a month from the Clinton Foundation. How much was the rotten apple that didn’t fall far from the tree getting from them?

"Well, Libya is the fault of the Coptic Christians, don’t you know."

Are you sure it wasn't climate change?

Had met Andrew at an Ann Coulter talk, seemed so very nice and sincere. Sad.

So all the lives taken, property destroyed and incalculable damage goes right back to Max? Everyone in that entire line of communication is at fault. Every last one of them. And I’d venture not one of them gives a tinker’s damn.

That was Sidney Blumenthal that got the 10 thousand month not his son Max.
