This was on CBS evening News?
To: DFG
And - we still don’t know why a State Dept official tweeted from the attack that they were sorry for the video that caused the riot....
... when there was no video nor was there a riot.
What prompted such a false claim?

What’s amazing, is that is not a case where someone has been accusing Obama of saying something behind some closed meeting. This is something that was debated daily for two weeks solid!
Day One
Obama: It’s the Film
All Conservatives Everywhere: No! It’s Terrorism!
Day 7
Obama: It was the Film
Conservatives: No you idiot! It was terrorism!
Day 13:
Obama It was the Film
Conservatives: You lying marxist piece of trash! It’s obvious it was terrorism!
Debate:
Obama: I said since the beginning it was terrorism.
Crowley: Yup, this sheet of paper right here says he’s right!

To be fair, that tweet was from someone in the U.S. Embassy in Cairo, not Benghazi, where there was a demonstration purportedly about the video.

And I keep wondering how they even knew about this video’s existence to use it as the scapegoat. The whole thing sounds fishy to me. I keep thinking Nobama wanted this to happen, but that doesn’t seem rational—I can’t figure out how it could possibly serve his needs.

Go to the CBS site and read the comments. This is San Francisco remember. Obama is toast, totally burnt toast. I read a lot of the comments; none were in defense of Obama. I think this was the straw.

Another thing, by Obama perpetrating the lie this was a riot due to a movie clip on youtube (which only had 363 hits at that time) was the direct cause of the the other riots by muslims on our embassy's thru out the Middle East.
To: MNDude
Obama pissed on our legs for two weeks, saying it was raining.

IIRC, the first mention/apology regarding the reference to the video came from the US Embassy in Egypt. That apology came just hours after the Benghazi attack.
[At the time, there were so many different versions and narratives and riots/attacks going on in several countries that is was difficult for us on FR and the general public to keep up with which story/narrative/attack came from where.]

To be fair, the crowd in Cairo was chanting:
"0bama, 0bama, we're a billion Osamas!"
Not exactly an anti-video chant. More of a Pro-Al-Qaeda chant, doncha think?

Jan doesn’t say snot without Editors and others higher ups give her the go ahead. So this is REALLY big other than nobody saw it being CBS. But it might make a mighty fine Swing State TV commercial.

Even yesterday, there was a thread that indicated the WH/Admin/St Dept were still looking into the idea the video might have had something to do with the riots/attacks.
The Admin still needs that narrative, because that is the only narrative they have. Otherwise, the entire Admin is shown to be incompetent.
