Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, while lamenting the partisanship of congressional Republicans who grilled her about the Benghazi attack, encouraged Republicans not to imitate the unwillingness to compromise evinced by terrorists in North Africa.
“It has been increasingly partisan,” Clinton said today at the Newseum when asked to comment on the questioning she faced from Republicans last week. “You can be partisan, you can have a strong sense of the rightness of your position, but democracy and certainly legislative bodies require compromise. And you can’t let compromise become a dirty word because then you veer toward fanaticism.”
“I mean, we were just talking about extremists who think it’s only their way, they are the ones who have the truth, none of the rest of us have any kind of claim on what is real in their views,” she continued. “And so it’s important in our democracies – like Australia, like the United States – that yes, be passionate, be intense about your feelings, but at the end of the day you’ve got to serve the people who sent you there, and that requires compromise.”
The “extremists” Clinton had just been discussing included those that carried out the terrorist attack on the U.S. mission in Benghazi, resulting in the deaths of the U.S. Ambassador to Libya and three other Americans.
“This is not what the Arab revolution was about, and there’s a great deal of concern across the region about people who choose to use violence to try to impose their extremist views rather than participate in politics,” Clinton said of the terrorist attacks taking place around North Africa. “It does have the potential, however, of expanding beyond the region, which is why I think you’re seeing an international concern and coalition coming together to support the people of Mali, to stand by the Government of Algeria, to work with the Government of Libya, so that they themselves are given the tools they need to combat this extremist threat.”
Hey Hillary since you no longer hold public office and are just a civilian like the rest of us why don’t ya go f””k yourself?
You beat me to it!
The Red Queen knows.
Last time I checked, it was Hillary and obama helping AQ in Libya and Africa. She and her sidekick are the ones who refused to help an ambassador in distress.
Bizarro world. Biden, Hillary,

"Four Americans were murdered on my watch, so what difference at this point does it make?”
"I was caught stealing over $100,000 of publicly owned property out of the White House when I left, so what difference at this point does it make?”
"I lied to little children about how I got my name, so what difference at this point does it make?”
"I obstructed justice in the White Water investigation, so what difference at this point does it make?”
"I perjured myself numerous times, so what difference at this point does it make?”
"My daughter looks like Webster Hubbell, so what difference at this point does it make?”
"(fill in the blank), so what difference at this point does it make?”
Maybe Hillary should stop acting like a flying monkey.
That is the Pic I was looking For!
Hillary used to so severely parse her utterances to a point of complete incoherence. Not anymore. She practically levitates on verbosity, chucked to overflow with wordy global themes and foreign name dropping in terms of world events and global strategies.
An intellectual elitist Hillary is very dangerous, and is openly taking presumption to a new level.
Trust me, Hillary is already running for ‘16, and it will be “no contest” for nomination. She can not, even at this early date, contain herself or refrain from shouting out in exhibition style her unmatched wisdom vast competence.
Hillary now believes she is over qualified for the presidency, and is already out to drive that point home. She can wait to be drafted and still take the nomination.
It will be a coronation, and the Republicans better put up a real wordsmith up against her who can pierce her BS bubble in hand to hand combat.
Ah and finally the real intentions on left come right out in the open. Normal people are terrorists. Gays, pedophiles, abotionists and the willingly ignorant are heros who have been falsely accused of injustices against wholesomeness. Now they will proceed to use our money and weapons we purchased to attempt to destroy us. At least they are finally being honest about their intentions. Leaves one to wonder who will feed them when the rest of us are gone.
Publius 911 warns Hillary not to act like a Black Panthers, with the warnings.
About Benghazi, What did you know and when did you know it?
Did you decide on the dissimulation technique or were you coached?
Four people dead or four hundred, or four thousand, what difference does it make?
If you can't figure that out, you qualify to work for Omugabe!
Wait... never mind...

Clinton: Anti-Islam Video 'Disgusting' (video 2:56)
Here is a 'senior administration official' trying to distance 0bamugabe from Hillary's f-up and at the same time admitting by inference that she was the source of the 'video did it' meme.
Senior administration official: The Cairo embassy’s statement does not reflect the view of the U.S. government; Update: Romney calls embassy statement “disgraceful”posted at 10:34 pm on September 11, 2012 by Allahpundit
The White House is disavowing a statement from their own Cairo embassy that apologized for anti-Muslim activity in the United States.
“The statement by Embassy Cairo was not cleared by Washington and does not reflect the views of the United States government,” a senior administration official told POLITICO…
“Some have sought to justify this vicious behavior as a response to inflammatory material posted on the Internet. The United States deplores any intentional effort to denigrate the religious beliefs of others. Our commitment to religious tolerance goes back to the very beginning of our nation. But let me be clear: There is never any justification for violent acts of this kind,” Secretary of State Hillary Clinton said in a Tuesday statement.
And here 0bamugabe and Hillary work together to try to prop up her 'video did it' nonsense and spread it even further.
