The lengths that liberals will go to twist and spin for this administration is boundless.

Amazing. And sickening.
I don’t know when, but at some point in our history the presidency took on attributes closer to the prerogatives of hereditary kings and the infallibility of Popes, than of a temporary chief executive of a republic.
Look at how the president is infallible! What he says is the accepted truth, and his actions are above reproach. He is without responsibility or effective accountability for his actions.
No free people can long endure such a charade. Why do most continue to pretend we still live in a republic?
Can someone find and post the picture of John Dickerson with his head up Obama’s a$$. I am sure there must be some floating around.
So let me get this straight. The CIA talking points were about Benghazi but didn’t say anything about a video. The WH talking points were about everywhere except Benghazi but did talk about a video and then apparently Rice, Clinton and Obama got confused and talked about the video causing Benghazi for at least 2 weeks without anyone correcting them. They are all criminals.
>>Perhaps, but there is also evidence in the documents for another explanation. The administration was practicing garden-variety self-deception: Administration officials, who came into office on a wave of skepticism about the quality of CIA intelligence, believed what their intelligence agency told them and what was in the presidents best political interest to believe. <<
Pigs could fly if they had wings. I believe that.
most coherent point in the entire article is about how this will affect Hillary. Only reason it’s coherent is thats all he says about it.
Talk about "high crimes and misdemeanors"!
“Lies, Damned Lies, and Garden-Variety Self-Deception - Why the new Benghazi emails arent a smoking gun.
The article then goes on to point out that everything the Repubs were saying was true and everything the RATS were saying was a LIE. The attitude is, yes they lied but that’s their job or its understandable.
While the author strains to provide cover to the WH, this is the most objective and condemning article I’ve ever seen come from Slate.
So John Dickerson wants us to assume the Obama Administration wasn’t lying. They simply choose to “believe” the preposterous “video story” because it was to their advantage, and spread it wholesale, while ignoring actual facts and common sense. Yeah, that’s the ticket.
So rather than a cover-up, it was gross misjudgement and incompetence of the laughingstock kind, requiring immediate resignation and withdrawal from public life for all involved.
Thank you, Mr.Dickinson, for making the distinction so clear. I also “appreciate” the emphasis on the White House — wouldn’t want to see the name HILLARY CLINTON associated with Benghazi, no sirree. She’s a victim too, and suffers so much pain over it.
Where was the little islamist, and what was he doing as our people were being murdered in Benghazi?
They could have just said, we are not sure, we are investigating what happened it has only been 4 days. But no they knew for a fact that it was a video, not terrorists who attacked our facilities on 9-11.
Let me translate: “Duh, of course the White House is lying. But they’re on our side, so we’ll just chalk it up to ‘business as usual’ and get back to making stuff up to discredit conservatives.”
