The Newest Benghazi Controversy: Political Fundraising
NBC News ^ | May 8, 2014 | BY LUKE RUSSERT AND CARRIE DANN

House Speaker John Boehner would not say Thursday if the House GOP’s campaign arm should stop including the Benghazi attacks in fundraising appeals.

Asked three times whether the National Republican Congressional Committee should be fundraising based on what they call Democratic obstruction of the Benghazi investigation, Boehner answered only: “Our focus is on getting the answers to those families who lost their loved ones. Period.”

An NRCC email sent Wednesday morning included a link to “become a Benghazi watchdog” – which led to a page where supporters can donate cash. A separate website called “BenghaziWatchdogs.com” still contains a link encouraging visitors to “help fight liberals by donating today.”

Democrats say that’s inappropriate and calls attention to the political nature of the GOP focus on Benghazi.

I hope they don’t. I will give them a piece of my mind if I get a solicitation based on this investigation.

The Democrats send out emails for virtually anything to raise money.

If there is nothing here, as these liars keep saying, then the RNC won’t collect a dime.

So what, Obama lied about it in order to claim that there were no terrorist attacks immediately prior to the 2012 elections.

The MSM all but ignores Benghazi, until there is a controversy linked to republicans.

As if the Dems aren’t using Bengazi for fundraising by characterizing it as a conservative witch hunt?

Maybe the answer is “When will the fictitious War on Women stop becoming a fundraiser for the Democratic Party?”

The White House colluded with the media on the talking points (encouraging them to lie and say it wasn’t a terrorist attack on Obama’s watch as he’s claiming Al Qaeda is on the run and he won the war on terror, etc. going into the 2012 election vote).

And now I am supposed to take them as an impartial reporter in such matters?
