[no-to-illegals]

From the testimony given today one can surmise the deaths of four Americans is unimportant when they are in Libya as an Ambassador and the security for the Ambassador.

[caww]

They’ve stated there are other questions that will be submitted that will not be covered in todays hearing.

[Norm Lenhart]

Lots of very foundational/basic questions have not been asked.

[NoGrayZone]

But He instructed us to love our enemies.Is there a difference between our enemies and evil?

To me, they are one in the same.

[Toespi]

Exactly, plus she wanted Stevens to report back to her by sept 30th. His plan was mid October to go but she pushed it up..........can you say ELECTION TIME

[AllAmericanGirl44]

Any sense as to why? I can’t believe I had to miss this today....arrgg

[caww]

God doesn’t expect us to “tolerate” that which He doesn’t.

[little jeremiah]

Perfect exampe of why RLimb is irrelevant. Or worse, because he supposedly isn’t irrelevant.

[piasa]

the media uses qualifiers to make people with preferred positions seem "just like you" and anyone who differs from the approved line is "not like you".

Must be something liberals learn to do naturally... it's an extension of the same thing leftwing seminar callers do when they come on the air and before emitting their spiel they always say something to the effect of "I'm a republican/conservative but..."

[onyx]

Not always.

Seeming evolution of 'the film' or 'the video':

from Politico: Hillary Clinton remarks on Egypt, Libya
, page 2
9/12/12

"There will be more time later to reflect, but today, we have work to do. There is no higher priority than protecting our men and women wherever they serve. We are working to determine the precise motivations and methods of those who carried out this assault. Some have sought to justify this vicious behavior, along with the protest that took place at our Embassy in Cairo yesterday, as a response to inflammatory material posted on the internet. America’s commitment to religious tolerance goes back to the very beginning of our nation. But let me be clear – there is no justification for this, none. Violence like this is no way to honor religion or faith. And as long as there are those who would take innocent life in the name of God, the world will never know a true and lasting peace.

from TPMLivewire: Clinton Denounces ‘Disgusting’ Film, Presses Mideast Leaders To Reject Violence
September 13, 2012

“To us, to me personally, this video is disgusting and reprehensible,” Clinton said at a meeting with Moroccan officials in Washington. “It appears to have a deeply cynical purpose to denigrate a great religion and provoke rage. But as we said yesterday, there is no justification — none at all — for responding to this video with violence.”

At least if one is a democrat!

I previously posted:

So far the only announcement by C-SPAN is that highlights will be rebroadcast on C-SPAN (NOT C-SPAN3) at 9pm tonight and Sunday 10:30am.

I am upset that C-Span will NOT rebroadcast the ENTIRE hearing for Americans not able to watch this afternoon. C-SPAN is doing a great disservice by just rebroadcasting highlights...

Unless, that is, they plan to only rebroadcast Repub questions and answers-—and skip the Dems! LOL

[topher]

Republican Vietnam Vet and Iraq Vet speaking now...

[little jeremiah]

Much thanks for posting snippets of testimoney.

[onyx]

I go to confession and always ask God to remove the hatred I have in my heart for the evil demonic-rats.
Thus far, He hasn’t.

ROFLOL - send this to Hillary lovers and Libs you want to irratate

UK Daily Mail has major coverage on today. NOT like our MSM.

[EBH]

It seems to me that a lot of the questions we want answered are classified for some “odd” reason. Like the ‘stand down order.’ We have testimony it happened, but no follow-up as to who...or why our people were left there to die.

And really, that is the answer we all want, we all know assets were available and the reason for the “failure” is still classified...we may never know eh?

[Political Junkie Too]

next caller back on the narrative of evil republicans trying to bring down a president.

Trying to bring down a president who lied and covered up in order to become president.

The cover-up worked even if it brings down Obama. It worked because it won't put a Romney administration in place, it would put Biden in the office.

The goal in October 2012 was to keep the White House in Democrat control by any means possible, and they succeeded.
