MSNBC Smears Pat Smith’s Speech About Benghazi; Her ‘Gross Accusation’ ‘Ruined’ the Night
newsbusters.org ^ | 7/18/2016 | Curtis Houck

From the moment that Pat Smith concluded her Monday night speech at the Republican National Convention (RNC) about how her son was murdered in the 2012 Benghazi terror attack, MSNBC had their marching orders to annihilate, demean, and smear Smith for her attacks on Hillary Clinton that left the assembled cast of liberals confused at the “gross accusation” that’s “ruined” the entire night.

Co-host Rachel Maddow seemed confused at the idea of Smith’s outrage at Clinton’s failed leadership so Washington Post columnist Eugene Robinson chimed in that it was “an extraordinary thing” and seemed confused at Smith linking Clinton to what happened to her son.

“I mean, because the sort of basis for that seems to be what Hillary Clinton did or did not tell her after the fact but I didn't quite make the connection as to why she holds her personally responsible for the death,” he declared.

Maddow added by accosting Smith for “playing with a very specific kind of fire that almost is impossible for me to watch, I have to say” in suggesting that someone should go to prison for her son’s death.

“The hate and bigotry from the Left has reached a new level of disgust.”

A great many of them are driven by hate, and that has been the dirty little secret that their control of the media and thus the narrative has, until now, been able to hide.

If one thinks about the things Hillary did and said afterwards, she is a filthy despicable pos lying scumbag.

And that’s too kind but we have rules.

The victims were sacrificed to Obama’s re-election and so there could be no terror attack. As vile as it gets.

The truth hurts, does it? How about when that sharp pain is SELF-INDUCED?
Any sane person could sit down NOW and type out just what the LEFTIST MEDIA will be spouting tonight and tomorrow.
I avoid the headaches by staying far from any entity that is part of the MSM. When I turn to FR in the morning I pat myself on the back, having known exactly how the media would react to whatever speech I listed to last night.
If you named a subject AND a “member” of the media,you could accurately predict what they would say about virtually anythin.

Trust is Hillary’s biggest problem. If Hillary was generally trustworthy voters could believe the mom’s lying if they want (no way to prove it either way). Since Hillary is a known liar, even supporters often admit it, it’s hard to believe her over the mom.

There could be a great ad with “sniper fire”, “emails”, ..., the mom saying she lied. Hard for any defender to argue with that and make Hillary look good. “yes, she lied in those other cases, but I’m sure she did not lie to the mom”.

That speech will be used as the basis for multiple 30 or 60 second Trump ads, particularly by PACs, imo.

MSNBC is staying true to their vile principles. Attack a grieving mother of a hero, but laud the mothers of Trayvon and Brown who raised worthless sons. Must really scare them that the true is spoken for all to hear!

Tiegen And Geist speech supported Pat Smith’s truth.

Herself is right out there with the “nuts and sluts” response, a strategy that has served Herself well in the past. Vindictive seems to work.

But may we be reminded of a quote - “I’m sick and tired of people who say that if you debate and disagree with this administration, somehow you’re not patriotic. We need to stand up and say we’re Americans, and we have the right to debate and disagree with any administration.”

And another - “In the bible it says you have to forgive seventy times seven. I want you all to know, I’m keeping a chart.”

Both attributed to Hillary Rodham Clinton.

Last night just as a speaker began to unload on Hillary, PBS quickly cut away. I will watch and see if they do the same thing for Trump. I am not holding my breath.

There was a tweet by the State Department in Egypt that day which was quickly yanked.

Any screen shots out there? I am trying to remember wording. Not sure if it mentioned the video or if it was an oblique reference?

She could have made the case better: “No one came to help my son because Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama didn’t want a bad headline the next morning about big mean American soldiers beating up poor little Arab YouTube video protestors.” Her emotions got in the way of the point she was supposed to make. I don’t fault her, but it might have been better to let someone like Rudy Giuliani make the argument.

“Demean and smear the speaker?”

Because the propagandists and ideologues on the left will stop at nothing. This poor woman lost her son, but no compassion is shown her, and she is labeled a liar by unconscionable leftist media. As a contrast, I'm sure there is tape somewhere of Matthews supporting Cindy Sheehan, in part because she lost her son. The hypocrisy is stunning.

Hillary lied to the faces of the mothers of the fallen over their sons’ coffins.

How can that be spun?


Clinton simply denies she ever told Patricia Smith that an internet video was responsible and calls Mrs Smith a liar.

Of course, Hillary's denial that she told Patricia Smith an internet video was to blame is hard to swallow given that she told the same lie to all of us when she told America at Andrews Airforce Base that the internet video was to blame.

Hillary is caught red handed in her lie on this video from the casket ceremony at Andrews Air Force Base

here is Jim Jordan's take on the Hillary internet video lie

Hillary is one seriously sick puppy
