Is Benghazi Obama's Watergate?
The American Thinker ^ | 5/10/13 | Lauri B Regan

Posted on 05/10/2013 4:47:37 AM PDT by Lakeshark

While political pundits and media analysts who live in an alternative universe (also known as the left-wing) scream conspiracy theory from the rooftops, we are witnessing an historic event playing out in the form of the Benghazi hearings. Reminiscent of Hillary Clinton's infamous accusations of a "vast right-wing conspiracy" when the House impeached her husband, everyone from Al Sharpton to Debbie Wasserman Schultz is demonizing the House Oversight Committee for staging a "witch hunt" in order to understand what happened the night that four American citizens were murdered by al Qaeda-affiliated terrorists in Libya. But despite Obama and Clinton's combined political savvy (coupled with a complicit and disinterested mainstream media), a Shakespearean tragedy that will make Watergate look like child's play may very well be unfolding.
**snip**
But it is never too late for the truth. And one of the insights we learned on Wednesday from Gregory Hicks, former deputy chief of mission at the U.S. embassy in Tripoli, was that despite vociferous and repeated claims to the contrary, the only "non-event" in Libya was the staging of riots over a YouTube video.
**snip**

It is bad enough that Obama trotted out his good little foot soldiers Carney and Rice to look the American people in the eye and lie. It is disgusting that the Secretary of State looked the victims' family members in the eye knowing full well she was not telling the truth while ensuring that an innocent individual would be sent to prison as the administration's scapegoat. But the President of the United States who was entrusted with protecting the American people blatantly lied to the them as well.

How do these people sleep at night?

It's true, this incident should be the end for them. Unfortunately, the MSM will circle the wagons and protect their darlings. Let's remember what really happened: These people blatantly lied to cover for their incompetence in the killing of Americans overseas, and the president had to have ordered a "stand down", then quietly went to Vegas to fund raise over their dead bodies. The press continues to cover their sorry rear ends.

I know, we're not likely to win with the media against us, but not trying to expose these people for what they have done and who they are would be a cowardly act.

Just shows the sick state of American society today that a President willfully allowed American citizens to be murdered and he won’t be brought to justice for it. What can you do in a world where evil is right and right is evil.

Will this be Obama’s Watergate? Short answer. No. At best it might rise to the level of the Iran Conta affair. There’s no stomach in this country for impeaching him. The best that might be hoped is that it ruins Hillary’s chances in 2016.

We the people must win. If these, less than human, monsters get away with this coverup then our world collectively known as the United States of America is over, done, finished. As is any hope of truth and trust.

Watergate: Not even close to how bad this scandal is.

The Ambassador informed them of how unsafe it was, they ignored it, then they watched as the Islamists killed those people and did nothing. Actually they did do somehting, they ordered those who could save them to stand down.

To top it off, they made up a story about the video, just made it up.

Then the press covered for them: The worst, most offensive person in all of this is Candy Crowley. She should be driven from her journalistic place of malpractice.

Nope. It will vanish down the memory hole. We can’t hold Obama or his administration responsible for categorically failed economic or foreign policy, no matter how many Americans are murdered by peaceful Moslems. That would be Racist.

The media WAS NOT COMPLICIT in Watergate.

Unfortunately I think Bernie Goldberg is right on this one. 90% of the American people are more interested in Jodi Arias.

I do blame the media for taking a basic local media story and turning it into a national sensation like they do with so many others.

BUMP to your post: “If these, less than human, monsters get away with this coverup then our world collectively known as the United States of America is over, done, finished. As is any hope of truth and trust.”

Bernie has it half right.

He's forgetting that those 90% are being spoon fed and deprived of the right to know what happened because the MSM so far hasn't covered this.

Pat Caddell had it fully right: The media have become traitors and are destroying America.

There are more gates that this regime tries to close with each causing Watergate to pale. Nixon was not a good president by any measurement, nor was a host of others, but this lying phony takes the cake!

He is, undoubtedly, the worst disaster to ever be foisted on Americans.
