Discussion: Senate Dems Want The RNC To Pay For The Benghazi Committee

[system1]

Discussion for article #241981

“Harry Reid’s pathetic attempt to inject politics into the final, definitive account of the 9/11 terrorist attack in Benghazi that killed four Americans dishonors their memory and has no basis in reality,” RNC National Press Secretary Allison Moore said in the statement.

Listen, I know that Allison Moore is just a paid political hack, but if she wasn´t ashamed of herself when she wrote that, she´s a deeply flawed human being.

[phlebas]

They broke it, so they should pay for it.

…the 9/11 terrorist attack in Benghazi…

Wow. Nice try, but you’re off by more than a decade. Are you sure the Benghazi attack wasn’t simply an extension of the Holocaust? Or perhaps part of an ongoing Stalinist purge?

[demyankee]

The Benghazi attack did occur on the evening of 9/11/2012. But, I grant you, there’s a strange mental knee-jerk that I suspect is intentional in using the shorthand date in conjunction with the event’s occurrence eleven years after the WTC/Pentagon attacks. This is how the GOP disinformation machinery works - constantly grinding away to confuse and conflate.

This is excellent news – for Hillary, as the phrase once went!

"Harry Reid’s pathetic attempt to inject politics into the final, definitive account of the 9/11 terrorist attack in Benghazi that killed four Americans dishonors their memory and has no basis in reality," RNC National Press Secretary Allison Moore said in the statement. "This cheap political stunt from disgruntled members of the minority party is nothing more than an in-kind contribution to the Clinton campaign paid for with taxpayer dollars."

When you have no concept of either empathy or irony, all you’ve got is projection, even if you don’t know what it means.

projection pro·jec·tion (prə-jěk’shən)
n.

1. The act of projecting or the condition of being projected.

2. The attribution of one’s own attitudes, feelings, or suppositions to others.

That would’ve never occurred to me at all, but it does make sense when you consider that Jeb! is facing strong push back against his “he kept us safe” defense, and blame for 9/11 is being relitigated (or finally being litigated) in the media. So now the GOP has come full circle blaming the Clintons and Obama.

I am so going to miss Harry Reid.

“This cheap political stunt from disgruntled members of the minority party is nothing more than an in-kind contribution to the Clinton campaign paid for with taxpayer dollars.”

Cool, so the DNC owes the taxpayers $0.49 for the postage stamp for the letter, plus the piece of paper and the envelope must’ve cost at least a few additional cents. And the RNC owes the taxpayers $4,700,000.00. Just want to make sure I’ve got my math correct.

[indyundecided]

This. Made. My. Morning.
Too bad the “liberal media” won’t run the story and I’ll still have to hear from the in-laws about Hillary’s choice of email storage would make her an untrustworthy president.

[clunkertruck]

 In a letter to Republican National Committee Chairman Reince Priebus, Senate Democrats this week demanded that the Republican party cover the costs of the House Select Committee on Benghazi, Roll Call reported on Wednesday morning.

The RNC owes the American people a lot more than that —

[ajm]

Priceless.

[publishermike]

That is EXACTLY what I was just going to write. The cognitive dissonance is astounding.

[leftflank]

The RNC would have to either steal some other of our tax dollars to pay for these stolen tax dollars or hit up their benefactors directly.
A check written from the Kocks or possibly even Trump would be unseemly and cast a shadow of doubt on the intentions of the Ben Ghazi/email/deny Hillary committee. Just because the Republican members are exposing the committee as a fraud and the chairman himself is spilling the beans, lets not get hysterical, this committee is about the TRUTH DAMMIT!!

Paid for by the, Stop Hillary at all expenses PAC.

Donate here.

[arc_of_the_universe]

It’s pretty slimy that they keep referring to it as a “9/11” attack – in hopes that people will think the murder of nearly 3,000 people on American soil following multiple intelligence warnings that it was coming occurred on Obama and HRC’s watch.

@MisterNeutron

No kidding-- ‘wow’.
Simply ingnorance? Or are they just not that into it anymore?

I agree, if it A-OK to fund raise off the committee then you own it and therefore should pay for it.

[sysprog]

Gotta love Harry Reid these days…he doesn’t give 5 F*ks about the GOP these days.

[thx1138]

That jumped out at me too. I don’t want to sound too tinfoil hat, but this is precisely how these people work. Of course Benghazi took place on 9/11/2012, but she knows damned well that placing “9/11” before the whole thing muddy’s the waters for her intended audience. Pure scum.
