Why would they want to hold 0bama accountable? That's not their job. Getting him elected and reelected, now that's their job.

The media accuses Republicans of outrage over nothing. They are deliberately and intentionally covering up for their boss. They helped get him elected, and they will not allow any normal person to criticize him.

The Benghazi incident is a microcosm of everything that’s gone wrong with our country.

An incompetent communist regime.

A news media that, acting as the ministry of propaganda for the regime, covers up the incompetence and associated dangers.

An ignorant public that just doesn’t care or give a damn.

So far Clinton, Clapper, Petraeus, Rice have lied, but still no one is asking Zippy why he did.
Where are the treason and murder charges?
Who decided to abandon 30 Americans causing 4 to be killed?

But the outstanding ones and the honest ones would admit, though perhaps only to themselves, that the double standard is real and troubling, that it’s injurious to their profession, and that things really do need to change.

It may be injurious to their profession, but its proving lethal to the republic.

These people are a cancer.

Scooter Libby was a scandal. Turned out to be a Democrat scandal. No one n the media even uttered an oops. No Democrat congressmen were brought before committees to be held accountable for lying. Nothing, nada, zippo...

Why do we dissect these things in such cerebral fashion? The media IS the democrat party and it is corrupt. Duh. I’ve watched documentaries going back to Roosevelt, in which reporters say they had to pretend to be impartial, but they were “all for” the democrat. For God’s sake half of them went from democrat administrations to being “reporters”.

Wake up America.

Folks, go back to the MILLIONS killed in Indochina while the press cheered, our allies abandoned, conquered, murdered and enslaved. You still waiting for hearings on that? They don’t care. They are leftist democrats.

The cease fire in the Middle East was just held up 24 hours so Hilary could get there from her vacations to take credit.. you’re dealing with evil vicious corrupt scum, the media/democrats, they are as one.

For comparison the following story received more negative press for the politician than has Benghazi for Obama. You will know this story in one word, and you will know that it absolutely ruined the political aspirations of the well established republican involved.

Did you guess it even without the one word hint?

The hint:

Potatoe

Sometimes it is hard to decide what thread is best so I will link my last post this here. It fits under “The Media’s Benghazi Complicity”

http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/news/2961477/posts?page=54#54

Short version (from WaPo 10/19/2012)
US Intelligence:
1. Monitored the live television viewing of the “Benghazi Attackers” (they were watching the Cairo protestors)
2. Monitored the conversations of the “Benghazi Attackers” after they watched the Cairo protestors, but before they assaulted to consulate.
3. Apparently no follow up question such as when did we stop watching the “Benghazi Attackers” and why did no one warn those at the consulate.

Three Facts

Fact One:

1) Only the POTUS can authorize a CBA (cross border authority) command for a rescue mission in a foreign nation.

Plus Fact Two:

2) No rescue mission was attempted.

Equals Fact Three:

3) 0bama turned his back on 41 State Dept. and CIA employees refusing to issue a CBA command and went to bed so he could go to Las Vegas the next day.
