Former Obama Spokesman Mocks Benghazi Hearing as Conspiracy Theorist 'Amateur Hour'
Twitter ^ | Wednesday, May 8, 2013 | Kristinn Taylor

Former Obama National Security Council spokesman Tommy Vietor has let loose on Twitter this morning, mocking the Benghazi hearing today as "amateur hour."

Vietor also mocked the hearings as conspiracy theories on par with Area 51 and the moon landings conspiracy theories:

Heard that Rep. Cummings asked Rep. Issa to include Thomas Pickering, cochair of ARB report in today's hearing, but Issa refused. #Benghazi

Why on earth would Issa refuse to let the cochair of an independent review board on #Benghazi testify at his hearing on the subject?

Could it be that today's #Benghazi hearing has nothing to do with fact-finding but is just the latest shamefully politicized Issa attack

@GrahamBlog @joenbc can you explain why Issa refused to allow Tom Pickering to be a witness today? He cochaired #Benghazi review

Reporters are very excited that Rep Chaffetz will be at today's #Benghazi hearing. Maybe he'll disclose more CIA facilities! Amateur hour.

Heard @jaketapper is chasing down rumor that House Oversight Cmte ran out of chairs. Why else would Issa refuse to include Pickering today?

Hey @Milbank what do you think Rep. Chaffetz will disclose today? Moon landing photos? Map of Area 51? http://goo.gl/W7NuW

Dear Mr. Idiot.

I believe it is because he would like to hear the truth this time.

Denying basic logic and severing connection to reality is the SOP of the left.

Alan (The Fish) Colmes was on FOX this morning, spewing much of the same pre-spin needed to discredit these hearings even before they start.

He use the words “witch hunt” quite often, never bothering to consider that there’s no need for that. We know exactly who the witch is, her phone rang on 9/11 and she couldn’t be bothered to answer.

“Amateur Hour(s)” occurred during the AQ attack at Benghazi when dealing with a life/death circumstance for Americans was definitely beyond yellow-bellied Muslim-sympathizer Zero’s community organizing experience and Hillary didn’t answer the phone, long before 3 a.m. (or maybe Huma answered and decided not to pass on the message).

They’re not doing themselves any favors with this crap, only giving their adoring media direction, which I pray are “foot steps in the sand.”

Nothing wrong with a witch hunt if you actually have witches pulling a lot of crap.

This is so sick. Americans died. And Obama and Hillary were to inept or simply didn't care, and people died.

Some terrorist supporters must have laughed at our government's ineptness and said, "Let the white boys die."

Dear Tommy Vietor (you worthless POS),

‘Amateur hour’ is what ‘we the people’ have had to endure every second of every day that your usurping Chicago ghetto thug boss has been occupying the WH.

GTH!

Sincerely,

If there is nothing to hide as the obama crowd claims then why are we not hearing from the Survivors of the attack and the Military Commanders being given immunity to testify who were closest and contacted regarding the Stand Down order? They are afraid? Yes the obama crowd is afraid!

Who told the possible rescue force to “STAND DOWN”?

Also...

WHY was Ambassador Stevens in a terrorist hotbed such as Benghazi on the anniversary of 9/11?

WHO specifically refused Ambassador Stevens' prior requests for additional security?

WHY were quick-reaction forces NOT available in a newly transitioned, highly unstable Arab country chock-full of jihadis?
