Well hes right that democrats have fund-raised off of tragedies, i think they have milked the Benghazi cow dry though.

Yes they have. BUT they didn’t sanctimoniously opine about ‘4 DEAD AMERICANS’ for two years and then fund raise off that. NOBODY does ‘victimization’ like the GOP…C’mon Trey…you didn’t think it was ‘right’ to do this until your ‘boys’ got to you.

Trey Gowdy’s accusation, true or not, is proof that the GOP is using Benghazi for political means. The goals are two fold: 1. Defeat Hillary Clinton for President and 2. Raise money for the midterm elections. Gowdy is playing the political game…

If democrats fundraised off of Sandy it was probably about republicans refusing to pass a bill giving hurricane damage funding relief to victims. If he has proof of democrats funding off of Iraq and Afghanistan he should prove it.

When you can keep republicans from fund raising on bengazi then you can complain about democrats. Until then, shut the fuck up!

Why do some comment threads move to something called The Hive, where it shows three comments per screen and mostly blank space? Why is this comment all on one line as I type it?

Nonsense. It was the GOP that exploited 9/11 for every conceivable kind of political advantage, despite the fact that THEY were the very party responsible for it, and that it was demonstrable that their president was niggardly in his duty to the American people.

There is no there there on “Benghazi”!!

Do as many back flips as you can GOPers no one is going to even understand what you imagine the offenses of the administration are supposed to be.

This guy totally missed his calling in life. He should have been an actor specializing in playing weaselly little snitching cowards.

If Gowdy had said nothing, instead of exhorting Republicans NOT to raise money, this whole episode would most likely have been considered par for the course. Gowdy, himself, may, in fact, be honest in his sentiment that money should not be raised. But it’s become obvious that the sentiment stops with him, thus making the cynical money-making schemes of the rest of the Republican Party even more blatant. Gowdy is now left with no recourse but to cry Democratic hypocrisy in the hope that that will serve as a distraction. Tu Quoque to you too.

“So for me, I will not raise money on Benghazi, just like I never raised money using crime victims while I was a prosecutor.”

Well, at least he’s being honest about exactly what he has done and will do. It’s not even in code anymore.

Gowdy has already spoken at one previous fundraiser using Benghazi as the topic. He’s a liar all the way around.

Well, at least it appears that you and Darcy are on the same page.

He can’t act. So he had to be a Congressman playing a weaselly little snitching coward.

When I see this guys picture he reminds me of Eddie Haskell from the Beaver show. When I read about him I think the two have more in common than looks. Similar behavior.

Begging the question. It’s not that they are fundraising off a tragedy; it’s that they are making stuff up and riling their base and funraising off that.
