MSNBC Guests: Benghazi Scandal Makes White House ‘Look Terrible,’ Possibly An ‘Impeachment Issue’
Mediaite ^ | May 10, 2013 | Noah Rothman

After examining all the details that emerged on Friday relating to the efforts by members of President Barack Obama’s administration to remove references to Islamic terrorism when explaining the reasons behind the 2012 attack on an American consulate in Benghazi, the panel guests on MSNBC’s Now agreed that the appearance of a scandal makes the White House “look terrible.” One guest even suggested that the controversy could lead to impeachment proceedings against the president.

NBC Reporter Kelly O’Donnell read from portions of emails in which high ranking State Department officials coordinated with the CIA to alter the official talking points on the Benghazi attack to remove any references to prior warnings or Islamic terrorism.

“This is quite the window into what is usually the hush-hush process about how to deal with these types of attacks and the spin that irrevocably comes afterwards,” NBC reporter Luke Russert opined.

“This is not good for the White House right now,” Russert said to BuzzFeed editor Ben Smith. “Does it stick?”

“Well, sure,” Smith replied. “They look terrible.”

Smith said that the emails indicate that former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton may have been directly involved in the process of “scrubbing” references to Islamic terrorism from her department’s talking points.....

“...the spin that irrevocably comes afterwards..” Irrevocably?

Let’s see .. who thinks Luke is somewhat inarticulate and maybe got where he is because of his parents’ connections?”

The media and the Honky Hut wanted this to go away. But unfortunately the Muslim friends of Obammy threw a monkey wrench into the works with those big fire crackers in Boston. The Whitey Hut and media thought they could defuse the damage by immediately blaming Americans, specifically white Conservative Americans for it all. It didn't work.
Now they've got a fire under their asses they can't put out with lies and deception.
Obama and his media do not have America in their best interests.

Is this a joke? Since when did MSNBC ever one time have a fair thought in their dopey heads?

This is the way the media works..they adore Obama..they worship the ground he walks on..they would kill their own mamma’s if Obama told them to do it, but if it looks like Obama is tarnished and it looks like he will get impeached, that same media will abandon him so fast it will make his head spin

You mean like Anderson Cooper being Gloria Vanderbilt’s son, or Meghan McCain or Chelsea Clinton or Mika Brzezinski?

But, but...Obamas (half) black! He can’t be impeached!!! Nobody will have the guts to do it, regardless of what it means for this country of ours which is barely hanging on by a thread...

If Bill Clinton can get impeached for lying about putting his pecker where he’s not supposed to than Obama can get impeached for lying about the murders of 4 brave Americans..in my opinion, it goes far beyond lying..he not only lied to the American people, he lied to the faces of the victims families, told Sean Smith’s mother to HER FACE that the video was the cause of this..Hillary Clinton told her the same thing, blamed it on the video..that right there goes beyond lying, that shows what Obama and Clinton have in their souls and that is coal
