Counter-meme abuilding! Anticipate hearing this again, at the âhearingâ.
She needs to use this and use it hard. Make a lot of noise about how the GOP has been on a witch hunt against her and how they have sacrificed the truth and smeared American heroes in order to do so.
Iâm thinking now she will testify this month, when everyone has to be on their best behavior. And any questions that stray from the mandate, should be rammed down the GOPâs respective throats.
MSNBC? Whatâs that?
âDistressing,â yes.
But Iâd have been spitting nails if sheâd said âsurprising.â
We need to use this and use it hard. I donât care if you are a Sanders supporter or a Hillary supporter, McCarthey just admitted what we all knew. The real problem is the infotainment industry works hand in glove with Republicans. Real stories arenât covered but they devote endless resources to this and its off shoot email server story.
The American people arenât being well served by either the Republican Congress or the infotainment industry.
Iâll be deeply disappointed if Hillary doesnât use this to kick some ass when she testifies.
Iâll also be deeply disappointed if she has any other stupid ideas that get discovered like the personal server. That was handing her opponents a baseball bat to whack her around. Foolish to the max.
Indeed â itâs even more distressing than this accidental truth-telling:
Aside from this obvious witch hunt, the glaring hypocrisy of the Republican thuggees screaming about the lack of security while THEY cut $.5 billion from embassy security funding is glaring and breathtakingly hypocritical. Fu*k these damned witch hunters who wonât even accept the findings of their own investigators. Truth and facts mean nothing to Repukes and calling these hearings a farce is an insult to farce.

Rachel Maddow had an astounding bit about Kevin McCarthy on last nightâs show. She dismissed him as a âpolitical hackâ, and played part of a speech on Foreign Policy given by McCarthy where he badly stumbled over word order and pronunciations and sounded like a complete idot - worse than Sarah [I never heard of a country called âHungriaâ, by the way]. Either the man is dyslexic, in which case I feel for him; or he has a great deal of difficulty reading because heâs never learned to read very well. In my opinion, he really doesnât seem very bright.
Heaven Help us
And the surprise is? Because⌠Benghazi!
Hillary, for the win!
McCarthy is a hack of the first order and will continue Weeper Boehner deconstruction of the House Speakership, the Boehner Office of Getting Nothing Done. Iâm soooooâ glad they got his admission that this Benghazi farce is simply a Kangaroo Court. Give emâ hell Hillâ!
Hell, this guy would be a better choice than McCarthy, the rep of a district where meth heads go to die. Still, the GOP has only the bottom of the barrel as a starting point for choosing a Speaker, from there they have to work their way downâŚ
To be honest, other than FOX, most of the news organizations out there are after ratingsâŚanything that will raise ratings gets space even if it isnât in line with the GOP. The problem for Clinton (and Sanders) is that the GOP has just been far more entertaining. Sanders is cutting through the noise by going around the media, but Clinton hasnât been.
What she needs to do is tap into the song âRazzle Dazzleâ from ChicagoâŚyou know the one âGive âem that olâ razzle dazzleâŚâ If she gives them a show, she can get the media to pay attention to her and really cut through the GOP noise.
Americans need to hear how much all these hearings cost. Over and over.
Hillary Clinton said Wednesday that it was âdeeply distressingâ
The truth hurts!
To Republicans, Chris Stevensâ corpse is a campaign button. Everyone has a right to be angry about McCarthyâs admission, but no one has a right to be surprised. It was always freaking obvious.
