Revenge, huh? I had no idea that our Libyan embassy was a co-producer of that film.

Out of the Islamic world now. We have intellectual and cultural twains that shall never meet. We stop meddling in the Islamic world, and that includes unalloyed support for Israel, and lots of targets come off our back.

Do you think that Susan Rice will get an apology? Neither do I.

Yep! We haven’t heard from foamy-mouthed bigot Pastor Jones in quite some time, but I do remember he stated that he hoped the video would get people killed–which is pretty odd language for a self-professed “man of God.” Mission accomplished, I guess.

I feel sorry for the Republicans who have invested sooooo much time and energy into BENGHAZI! only to have it all come crashing down on their heads.

Oh fuck it, no I don’t.

Wrong! When have the modern republicans ever been bound by facts or reasons? This changes nothing to them.

It’s true! We’re probably already hearing that Obama gave the guy a script, that they’re childhood friends, that they’re secretly married, etcetera etcetera etcetera. It’s always a conspiracy with The Black Guy–the crazier the theory, the more fervently they believe.

Their heads don’t explode. They just fart out more crap.

Why else would this have happened the same time as the video?? It makes sense. Republican’s heads are going to explode like helium balloons. LOL.

I’m thinking they’ll try to somehow explain it with some bullshit, irrational conspiracy theory like they always do.

If all things remain relatively the same on this story, it changes quite a bit actually.

Sure the knuckle draggers will yell conspiracy even louder, but there is no way during an election year that a serious campaign manager wants his/her candidate anywhere near this now. Its grasping at straws that are, quite literally, disappearing right before the voters’s eyes.

Now they have to go through the embarrassment of actually conducting a few hearings before they can shut it down to save face. And those hearings are going to be comedy gold…no, make that platinum, for The Daily Show.

What you won’t see however, is any discussion longer than 15 seconds on how this blows open the entire truck load of conspiracy theories up, on this Sunday talk shows.

I am sure their friends in the librul media will find a way to help them spin this to their advantage We can count on Too much Candy Crowley, Bob Schieffer and David Gregory to invite them on to spew their lies.

Obama and Hilliary used campaign funds and our hard earned tax dollars to pay this guy to say that. It’s all over Fox news.
