Let’s roll the tape:
"With all due respect, the fact is we had four dead Americans. Was it because of a protest, or was it because of guys out for a walk one night who decided they'd go kill some Americans? What difference at this point does it make? It is our job to figure out what happened and to do everything we can to prevent it from ever happening again, senator."
It was a dazzling play, instantly destined to enter the lore of political hardball and be studied and dissected for decades.
Such a perfect eruption of concentrated, seductively appealing dishonesty had to have been crafted by the father of high-wire lies, the master distracter himself, the Big Bill. The formidable but workmanlike Hillary lacks the creative gift and mendacious flair to actualize the McCarthy-Hellman standard: “Every word is a lie, including “and” and “the.”
Let’s admire her bravura work. Roll the super slo-mo, please:
"With all due respect, the fact is we had four dead Americans." Wait, read her lips. I think she said: “Have you questioners no decency or understanding of the gravity here? Four Americans died! This is much too serious and difficult for you to be asking me serious and difficult questions about it!”
Poor Senator Johnson. Look at his head snap back with the hit!
Roll tape:
"Was it because of a protest, or was it because of guys out for a walk one night who decided they'd go kill some Americans?”
“Or?” Just two options? Either it was an angry movie review that spontaneously spun out of control, or it was some guys out fitness striding who combusted really spontaneously?
That’s a new one. No one until our distraught, reputation-saving, would-be future president ever suggested anything remotely like it. A bloody attack on an American mission that materialized from nothing. The Big Bang writ small.
It’s not accidental the Secretary’s false A or B excluded the truthful C: It was a planned attack on America by Al Qaeda affiliates on the anniversary of 9/11.
The Administration cretins are still lying through their whitened teeth and the sleeping dogs of the press are still refusing to bark. There are times when you might be forgiven for understanding why Bill Ayers decided only some really loud noises might wake the people up.
Back to the tape:
“What difference at this point does it make?”
That’s a powerful head fake: “Nothing can bring back the dead, you petty politician. Why are you asking these questions? Why can’t you just support the transformative vision of our historic president and stop trying to dig up inconvenient facts that our loyal protectors of the press have been so good to help us keep buried?”
Tape:
“It is our job to figure out what happened and to do everything we can to prevent it from ever happening again, senator."
Wow! Did you SEE Hillary’s neck-snapping spin and dive into the end zone?! Right over the flattened senator, across the goal line, and into the safe embrace of the media refs who raised triumphant arms, screeched “7!!” out their whistles, and immediately fed the highlight into the news cycle’s repeating loop.
Let’s break it down. “Why are you asking me about the nature and genesis of the attack? Or the motives, possible planning, and tactics of the attackers? Don’t you know our solemn duty—the only thing we can do--is figure out the genesis and nature of the attack, the motives, possible planning, and tactics of the attackers?
That’s how we can be prepared to make sure nothing like this will ever happen again. So please! Stop asking irrelevant questions about the genesis and nature of the attack, the motives, possible planning, and tactics of the attackers. This is too important for politics!”
It was a show for the ages. For our age, anyway.
For the record, Madame Secretary, it makes all the difference. It matters for public accountability: Understanding how the attack developed sheds light on how reasonable or not the decisions were that preceded it. It helps the public gauge the magnitude of the failure and reasonable consequences for a diplomat or politician who claims “full responsibility.” Is that just a convenient phrase to survive the news cycle, or does it mean something?
It matters for the administration’s credibility: People have a right to know if their government dealt straight or if it maneuvered feverishly to conceal and mislead for advantage in the campaign’s closing weeks. Every lie advanced the president’s narrative and deflected criticism. Coincidence?
It matters for understanding the larger global context and US interest: A planned Al Qaeda terror attack on America runs counter to the president’s story of positive trends in the Middle East. Is America’s stock rising or falling? Is Al Qaeda dwindling or resurgent? Was the US mission as rumored an illegal conduit of arms to Islamist rebels in Syria?
When John F. Kennedy took a bath in the Bay of Pigs, he couldn’t blame it on a Cuban fiesta that got out of hand. He never dreamed of trying. He had to own his policies and their consequences. A more professional press of the day helped ensure it.
We’ve fallen far if we’re transfixed by temper and tears. What was the issue again, anyway?
It may have been the sheer effrontery of it. Such brazen mendacity, in real time, may leave one breathless.
However Sen Johnson should then have taken a breath and then TAKEN HER DAMNED LYING HEAD OFF. He dropped the ball. Left it there and walked away. SHE was RESPONSIBLE for those lives, period.

The Law of Effect shows us that you generally receive more of the behavior that is rewarded and less of the behavior that is punished. The important point is that there has been no punishment for Hillary Clinton’s negligence. Thus, we can expect more negligence from this administration. How many dead Americans before this administration is called to task? My God, it just hit me. The progressives think there are too many people in this world. They don’t care. They take comfort in dead Americans.
Yup. Johnson could have nailed her and he didn't.
Fail.
Don’t pick on her, because she has ‘optic nerve damage’ from wearing Nancy Pelosi’s coke bottle glasses all day.
Following the House hearings the Chairman of the committee was on Fox News.
He lied through his teeth.
He said they had finally put to rest the notion there was any connection between the video protest in Egypt and the attack in Libya.
The “spontaneous” lie wasn't created AFTER the attack, the attack was planned and carried out to create the “spontaneous” lie.
The “spontaneous” lie is nothing more complicated than trying to make it appear as if the terrorist are so in tune with the news they can pick up on a news story, plan and carry out a terrorist attack immediately. In other words “spontaneous”.
The truth is the news is being orchestrated for the terrorist attacks, which means out little lefty friends which control the news, are collaborating with the terrorist.
That's the reason the “spontaneous” lie was created. Our little lefty friends, including the Zippo WH, have been caught orchestrating news for terrorist attacks, so they created the “spontaneous” lie to make it appear as if the terrorist are planning terrorist attacks AFTER news events.
You can't create the spontaneous lie without there being a coordination between the protest in Egypt and the attack in Libya.
The fact they used the word “spontaneous” is a dead give away Hillary and Zippo planned the attack.
Rush has started a campaign to try and make people believe Hillary is lying to cover up for Zippo, which is complete nonsense when you know the first time the “spontaneous” lie, or something very similar, was attempted was by the ACLU in January of 2006. Zippo wasn't even around at that time, and the ACLU didn't try and create the lie for Bush.
Also there is 2 parts to the “spontaneous” lie.
Go listen to Hillary's statement after the attack and see if you can figure it out.
Nice article, worthy read. I believe similar things happened in West Virginia with coal miners and the mine owners just after WW-1.
“What difference does it make?” So we might say that Her Majesty Secret- ary is showing “indifference”.
...and the supporting actors not questioning the Sociopath of State have pissed on all of us.
Representation for Doherty, Smith, Stevens, Woods and the rest of us? None.
Bumps in the road for the back-slapping political class.
TREASON...in real-time, pre-meditated, unquestioned, in-your-face, indignant, continuous, unchecked, ongoing...
Translation: It does not matter because we won, and, if we had lost, then, it would have mattered that we tell a better lie.
More of “it’s all relative” doctrine.

What difference did it make to Vince Foster, Hillary???
This reminds me of something Glenn Beck said a couple of years ago in pointing out how they play their game. He said they just go back and forth and ultimately say, “so what, it doesn’t matter.” His example was Bill Clinton and the Monica Lewisnky affair. At first the argument was, “yes he did/no he didn’t, yes he did/no he didn’t” THEN, when the blue dress gave up definitive proof, the argument shifted to, “so what? why does it matter, it is a private matter”....this is similar to this “what difference does it make at this point” strategy.
McCarthy made the original remark in answer to a question directed to her by Johnny Carson on "The Tonight Show".
The truth is, she’s right. It makes no difference. It made no difference when it happened and it made no difference on election day.
Johnson could have counter punched the ugly old hag but he didn’t. Why? Because it makes no difference.
I’m convinced this election was rigged from the start. In fact, I’m not sure he even got 40% of the vote. The results sure slapped Romney back into reality.
