I think more formal words like unhinged, delusional, bizarre, deranged, psychopathic, etc. will be thrown at Trump by Democrats quite a bit.

Rep. Al Baldasaro: āWe would then build a statue to the greatest war hero ever and Tiffany Trumpās dad, the next president of the United States and the guy who get rid of those cowardly Democrats: Donald J. Trump.ā
Please excuse me, I gotta see how much do I have in the bank. I might need to cut a TPM commentator a royalty check.

Dear Republican voters (should any of you happen to see this):
You donāt have to stand for what your party has become. If you find this behavior to be beneath you, please feel free to join our tent for this election cycle. Or stay home on election dayāor better yet, show up and submit an empty ballot. You can always go back to the GOP later. For now, letās stand together and cleanse our nation of this extremist rhetoric. I would not tolerate this from my party, and you donāt have to either.

āThis whole thing disgusts me, Hillary Clinton should be put in the firing line and shot for treason,ā he declared.
This is why there are television cameras in this world. Guys like this need to shown in the light of the day, because as of yesterday, he is a member of the āvastly improvedā Republican Party. Ignoring him or not at least running the aforementioned blurb, 24-7, will show that imagination and winning are dead in this country.

Seems to be a standard talking point on the right.
So my question is, what exactly did she do in the Benghazi attacks that justifies her to her not having a Constitutional right to a fair trail and to just be shot FOR TREASONā¦???
Can someone please explain what she did that was treasonous?

I would also hammer away on ONE question and ONE question only: āWhen it comes to you or Donald Trump, who do you think heāll turn on first?ā

Welp, if he thinks Clinton should be shot for Benghazi, he must be in favor of exhuming Reagan, torturing him to death, hanging the corpse, putting the head on a pike, and parading his rotting entrails on Pennsylvania Avenue.
A former defense secretary for Ronald Reagan says he implored the president to put Marines serving in Beirut in a safer position before terrorists attacked them in 1983, killing 241 servicemen.
But he said one of his greatest regrets was in failing to overcome the arguments that āāMarines donāt cut and run,ā and 'We canāt leave because weāre thereāā before the devastating suicide attack on the lightly armed force.
āThey had no mission but to sit at the airport, which is just like sitting in a bullās-eye,ā Weinberger said. āI begged the president at least to pull them back and put them back on their transports as a more defensible position.ā

Until October 23, 1983, there were ten ROE guidelines issued for each U.S. Marine member of the MNF in Lebanon:
- When on post, mobile or foot patrol, keep loaded magazine in weapon, bolt closed, weapon on safe, no round in the chamber.
- Do not chamber a round unless instructed to do so by a commissioned officer unless you must act in immediate self-defense where deadly force is authorized.
- Keep ammo for crew-served weapons readily available but not loaded in the weapon. Weapons will be on safe at all times.
- Call local forces to assist in self-defense effort. Notify headquarters.
- Use only minimum degree of force to accomplish any mission.
- Stop the use of force when it is no longer needed to accomplish the mission.
- If you receive effective hostile fire, direct your fire at the source. If possible, use friendly snipers.
- Respect civilian property; do not attack it unless absolutely necessary to protect friendly forces.
- Protect innocent civilians from harm.
10 Respect and protect recognized medical agencies such as Red Cross, Red Crescent, etc.
The perimeter guards at the U.S. Marine headquarters on the morning of October 23, 1983, were in full compliance with rules 1-3 and were unable to shoot fast enough to disable or stop the bomber.
Iād sell my soul for a Democrat who had the initiative and energy to publicly make this point each and every time some Republican goes off on Benghazi and mythical stand-down orders.
Obviously, there isnāt an American ājournalistā alive today with the intellectual capacity or the balls to make the point, which just points out how fucking useless they all are.

āThis whole thing disgusts me, Hillary Clinton should be put in the firing line and shot for treason.ā: New Hampshire state Rep. Al Baldasaro
ā(a) Whoever knowingly and willfully threatens to kill, kidnap, or inflict bodily harm uponā
(1) . . . the [wife] of a former President;
shall be fined under this title or imprisoned not more than 5 years, or both.ā: 18 USC Ā§879
Baldasaroās statement was obviously taken out of context, misinterpreted, not meant to be a factual statement, hyperbolic, GOP excuse de jour.

Always love that they skip the indictment, trial, conviction, and then sentencing part and go straight to execution of sentence. Constitutional Conservatives, indeed!

The real problem is itās not just about the quantity, more about the quality of those attacks. Putting political opponents in jail or executing them even is something that would happen in places like the Soviet Union and North Korea. Itās not a normal talk in this country and should never be accepted as a normal talk.
Intentionally or not, I donāt know, Wallace didnāt make it clear which he meant by saying ātheyāve overdone a little bit,ā but the context of the clip suggests they are talking about the quantity side. Itās not like Iād expect more from Fox, but I donāt think I agree with Media Matterās take.

before labelled her a ādisgraceā for the way she responded to the Benghazi attacks
I wonder how he feels about Panetta and Dempseyās Benghazi assessment.*
*-Warning: If you are tired of John McCain in any way, you might not want to hit that link. Now the link will take you to CNN, but the story has McCain arguing with Dempsey over what McCain would have done if he was president.

Ummm, gotta disagree with you a bit, fargo. Take out the killing part, and hurt or humiliated is the basis of humor in the 3 Stooges and cartoons, and lots of other really funny stuff.
But I will grant you thisāwhat RWNJās think is funny, usually is not. They truly are humor-impaired; it has been shown scientifically, but of course they donāt acknowledge science. Instead, when they try to be funny, it is usually just some insult or threat that they laugh at for some reason. (Come to think of it, they usually soundāand act likeāthe crowd around a bully.)

she supposed told the victim families that the attack was caused by a video, which one of the suspects later owned up to.
She didnāt follow through with the Ben Carson school of diplomacy: When faced with an uncertain outcome, just blow things up and let God decide.
