Waiting for the first Republican to say “Tch! What does she know about it?”
Well, she’s clearly over come by grief and confused, right? /s
Good for her. One of the dividing lines that’s been drawn between rabid GOPers and the rest of us is whether you’re going to demonstrate simple human decency or not. Trump is a cruel and stupid man with literally no ability to understand why you shouldn’t do wrong and bad things, even if those things might help you attain some goal. That’s really a big part of what this election is about: Do we treat each other decently, or do we live in a state of nature? Is everything permitted, or are there things we should agree we won’t do? Trump puts the question more starkly than anyone since you-know-who.
It’s “Stevens’ Sister”. Not “Steven’s Sister.”
It’s Nit-Pick not nitpick.
Thank you Mr Grammar Person
Chris knew that. It wasn’t a secret to him. He decided to take the risk
to go there. It is not something they did to him. It is something he
took on himself.
Thank you. This is the key point that never seems to be mentioned. It was entirely Chris Stevens’ decision to travel to Benghazi at a dangerous time with minimal security backup. Ambassadors have the authority to do things like that. It’s sad that it worked out the way that it did, but we’ve been through four years of trying to blame everybody in the Obama Administration for what was essentially a decision taken by the Ambassador on the ground.
Dr. Stevens doesn’t have malice in her heart.
Stevens’ sister may not blame Hillary, but Cletus the “long-time listener, first time caller” still does, and that’s what Trump, Faux etc. will rely on.
and something you will never hear on the Conservative Entertainment Complex.
My usual excellent perspective the Gym tells me all I need to know with it’s bank of 12 teevees . Yesterday at prime news hour Istanbul was wall to wall coverage on all the stations and a good portion of the local news…Except of course for Faux which gave us an hour of BENGHAZI ! resplendent with images of the burning embassy and an exclusive interview with noted pinhead and blot on western civilization TREY GOWDY! … IN PERSON!!!
That poor dead horse …they were even trying the station defibrillator on it
It’s walks a fine line. It’s okay for his sister to say this, but let’s say Hillary says it publicly, it would come off as insensitive and crass…dare I say, very Trump-like. So she can’t say this, nor can President Obama… The right person said it. With the exception of his parents, if they’re still alive, his widow, if he was married, Dr. Stevens is the only one who CAN say this. Now that it’s out there, and now that the findings of the sham committee exonerate Hillary, this should die…with the exception of the Orange Asshole and his Knights of the Asshole Table. I’m sure, in their pathetic nature, they will keep this alive.
Dr. Stevens is absolutely correct, though. Chris Stevens was warned not to leave the embassy ahead of that year’s 9/11 anniversary. He decided to go. While I blame his killers for what happened, in the end, he put himself and others in danger. The GOP spent millions of dollars and two years to figure out what took me a week.
It’s “Stevens’ Sister (D)”. Not “Steven’s Sister (D)”.
FIFY
No, wait! It’s “Stevens’ Sister (R)”. Not “Steven’s Sister (R)”.
FIFY, again.
Yes, even with the best of plans and planning, even with the best resources, even with everything as well thought out as humanly possible, shit sometimes just happens. It’s tragic, it’s horrible, but it’s also life…
Good for Dr. Stevens, who, as an indirect “victim” has every reason to hold a grudge, that she does not…
So she’s definitely not a Republican.
Or “Stevens’s”, but that’s debatable.
No every grammar correction should be seen as critical. This seems like a friendly post to point out a mistake. The author could take the input and not make the same mistake again.
Well of course not…she’s probably sane.
Like anything matters to the ultra-conspiracists that knew the day that they started this horseshit that it was pure horseshit. They dig for some small facts after the fact, the conspiracy comes first, then the switcheroo to whatever they can dig up (emails) and then that suddenly is the real problem, then the inevitable faceplant followed by back to step #1.
The Repubs got their shit handed right back to them and most people would quit right there but they have been bested by a female Clinton now and that they’ll never swallow.
Hillary owns them all and just got stronger. Gowdy and Co. just became the class idiots and are a joke forever.
It’s about time. You know Chris Stevens was probably the wonderful guy everyone says but he is partly to blame for what happened since he knew Benghazi wasn’t secure but he was determined to go there. Of course there were many other factors but he knew better and put a lot of other people at risk, But god for her for coming out and speaking out.
