Soledad O’Brien to Rudy Giuliani: 'Let me finish'
politico ^ | 10/22/2012 | By KEVIN ROBILLARD

Posted on 10/22/2012 6:47:31 AM PDT by tobyhill

CNN host Soledad O’Brien and Rudy Giuliani clashed on Monday, with the the former New York City mayor accusing O’Brien of trying to blame George W. Bush for the attack on the U.S. consulate in Benghazi, Libya.

While interviewing Giuliani, O’Brien played a clip of former Bush adviser Matthew Dowd comparing Benghazi to the invasion of Iraq, arguing it was possible for the intelligence to be initially wrong on Benghazi, just as intelligence indicating Iraq had weapons of mass destruction turned out to be false.

“We’re going to blame this on Bush, too?” Giuliani said. “You’ve got to stop putting words in my mouth, sir,” O’Brien retorted. “Let me finish, because every time I ask you a question, let me finish my point — every time I ask you a question, you like to push back like the question I’m asking you is unfair. It’s not. I’m a journalist, you said some things. I’m trying to get accurate responses from you. You are welcome to answer.”

“OK, here’s the answer: It sounds like we’re trying to blame Benghazi on Bush,” Giuliani responded. “It’s absurd to blame Benghazi on Bush. All [President Barack Obama] needs to do is answer a simple question: Did he know about the consulate attacks that took place before September 11, 2012? There were two of them, one of which blew a hole in the embassy wall. Also, did he know the British consulate, which was basically next door, that they moved out because of the tremendous amount of risk to that consulate?”

I wonder if I could get a high paying media gig if I changed my first name to Folsom.

Can’t wait to see Soledad’s head explode when Rudy becomes Mitt’s AG.

No, but every time someone talked about you, they'd hang their heads and cry.

Rudy would be a great AG—so would Chris Christie. He did a number on the NJ mob and corrupt politicians—put away about 130 of them..

But then, in NJ, that is just scratching the surface.

The media is acting as if there wasn't a live IP camera feeding the visual LIVE to the state department. Why isn't the LSM demanding this administration the release of the footage? Once the footage is released, how can the Obama administration claim they thought the attack was a protest that got out of control? Why did this administration stick to that story and spread it for so long? Wasn't it irresponsible for this administration to spread a known lie about a protest about an unknown film dangerous to our allies and other embassy's around the world which were than protested against using this film as the fuel for their rage?

If President Mitt Romney appoints Rudy as AG, you won’t have to go any further than FreeRepublic to see exploding heads.

There is no such thing as a journalist: everyone has his or her own worldview, values, and temperment. When you ask what you consider an objective question, the question in itself assumes a universe of context. Hannity and Maddow at least are open and above board about their biases. The MSM pretends to have no prejudices and we all know that’s nonsense.

Our side are beginning to wake up. I am seeing more and more take those Libs on with LOUDER talk, NEVER STOP talking, INTERRUPT whenever possible, etc.

The libs have used that tactic far to long, and get away with it. I would have pulled their mic's.

I see they get very TESTY when it is played on them, it is driving them more insane.

Then how did the legislature ever get a quorum?
