Hillary Clinton releases first national ad; attacks Republicans for Benghazi investigation
American Thinker ^ | 10/07/2015 | Rick Moran

Hillary Clinton's first national TV ad goes after Republicans for their "partisan" investigation into the attack on our diplomatic compound in Benghazi.The ad uses a bonehead statement by Rep. Kevin McCarthy, who is running for Speaker, hinting that one of the reasons for Hillary's falling poll nunbers is what the Benghazi Committee has exposed.

A new ad released by the campaign on Monday evening features a clip of House Majority Leader Kevin McCarthy (R-Calif.) giving the special House panel credit for damaging Clinton's poll numbers.

The 30-second spot is the first one the campaign is running nationally on cable television, underscoring the political gold mine that Clinton's team senses in McCarthy’s comments. 

“The Republicans finally admit it,” a male narrator says in the video before a clip of McCarthy’s comments.

“Republicans have spent millions to attack Hillary because she’s fighting for everything they oppose.”

The ad on Monday came after Clinton went on the offensive over Republicans' investigation of the Benghazi attack.

In a nationally televised town hall earlier in the day, Clinton accused Republicans of exploiting the four Americans killed in Libya in 2012 merely to knock down her presidential campaign.

“Look at the situation they chose to exploit, to go after me for political reasons, the death of four Americans in Benghazi,” she said.

The ad also comes just more than two weeks ahead of Clinton’s appearance in a public hearing of the Benghazi panel.

In turning the tables on House Republicans, Clinton is seeking to get out from under questions about her use of a private email server while secretary of State — which the Benghazi committee helped to reveal — and instead set the tone for her Oct. 22 appearance before the committee.

Just like the Democrats went after Nixon over Watergate? Right.

Hillary might try to stop lying about Benghazi and tell the truth about what really happened that night, instead of blustering and pretending to be a victim.

Hillary is no victim. Her incompetence directly led to those 4 deaths, she’s never fully explained her role, THAT’S why questions are still being asked.

The only reason Hillary isn't being tried in federal court is because she has evidence that Obama gave the “stand down” order to U.S. Forces during the Sep 11, 2012 attack on the U.S ambassador in Benghazi Libya. Remember that Obama had “uncharacteristic” poor debate performance a month after the attack and the director of the C.I.A. resigned two months after attack. There's a lot of smoke here and Hillary knows where the fire is.

GOP needs to come back with footage of her blaming it on a video and “what difference does it make?”.

But the GOP is highly likely to screw it up.

Repub ad in response: due to the Benghazi committee, it became known that Hilly violated all sorts of laws (list them) and also put National Security at risk with Top Secret information in her email run on private server. I also think that as of yesterday, the backup company (Datto?) was using a ‘cloud’ backup ... that put everything Hilly had in her emails out there for pretty much anyone to see, if they went to the trouble & you know the Chinese, Russians, et al, went to the trouble.

“Somebody” needs to take the gloves off with Hilly. The only one I see doing it is Trump - he’s got the gonads & he’s not a politician. Maybe Cruz. The rest of the squishes won’t do it. BTW ...

“Lawyers with Judicial Watch on Tuesday said they would demand that the department declare whether Clinton received explicit approval to use a private email account and personal server while serving as secretary of State.”

“Either Clinton was allowed to use the setup, in which case the server should be considered an official government system of records and ought to be handed back to the department, they said, or she wasn’t, in which case Clinton operated outside the agency’s rules.”

The answer either way will be damning.

It does seem that Trump still has a pair.

Matt Drudge: Sick Old Hillary's Head on a Stick, Brain in Jar, Oval Office

 

 Matt Drudge: Media propping up 'old and sick' Hillary

 Matt Drudge on Tuesday railed against Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton’s health and her politics, saying he was worried the nation would end up “with Hillary’s brain in the Oval Office in a jar.”

 “She’s old and she’s sick,” the Drudge Report founder said in an interview with Alex Jones. 


  http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hxbvYWKhX48&t=6m1s

 Drudge slammed the media for propping up Clinton's candidacy.

"She's not a contender. They're making her a contender with these propped up Saturday Night Live things. It's like a head on a stick," he said, chiding NBC for "giving her endless hours of airtime."

 The media mogul cited Clinton's hypothyroidism as cause for concern.

"Anybody who is 70 years old who is hypothyroid, you do not elect president, ladies and gentlemen," he said.

"Where are the Stories on Hillary's Lovers?"

Hillary Clinton Lesbian Lovers Named in Secret Emails

Some of the presidential candidate’s famously “deleted” emails are packed full of lesbian references and her lovers’ names.

Right /s.

Kevin McCarthy destroyed whatever credibility the Benghazi Committee had. This whole thing will turn out to be nothing but a big blowback against conservatives.

Thanks for nothing GOPe! Now get back to work attacking Donald Trump and Ted Cruz.

Big deal, she’s already stigmatized as a liar and untrustworthy by everyone but her most loyal die-hard followers for whom this ad is meant for.
