[LibCampFireClub 635]

It's looking more and more like South Carolina Congressman Trey Gowdy will be John Boehner's pick for the special congressional committee.

More administration / media incest. Remember back when the press were the public's watchdog? Not any more. Ane they've turned over control willingly.

Nepotism is nothing new. Yawn

Looks like it's time for 0blama to strike up a round of dueling banjos.

Carney Indicates White House May Not Cooperate With Special Benghazi Investigation

White House press secretary Jay Carney indicated the administration may not cooperate with the new House select committee investigating the unanswered questions surrounding the terrorist attack in Benghazi, even refusing to answer a direct question about it.

Why does this not surprise me? The preznit and his minions took great pains not to cooperate with Congress on Fast & Furious (Holder still hasn't complied with the contempt order to provide documents), the IRS scandal (the 5th amendment is sacrosanct, but was never meant to be used by an employee to shield their employer), and the NSA scandal. They thumb their noses at the coequal branches of government as well as the American people.

Are you suggesting covering up secrets is something the governing administrations in the United States typically does or are you suggesting that its inherent to this specific administration? Or inherent to the left in general?

Show me another administration that's made a regular practice out of rebuffing Congress over its behaviour; refusing to answer simple questions, running out the clock (a year since these Benghazi emails were subpoenaed, and finally it took a court order to force their production), and Holder simply refusing to comply with Congress' order for documents. Show me any other administration that matches the constant show of contempt for the rule of law that we're seeing here.

So just this administration right?

Easy. The Bush administration circa the 2003 Iraq war.

Do you think all those people in the US and overseas demonstrated against it for nothing?

The truthful answer is no.

The popular answer is yes. Although I reckon that people who seriously believe it either:

A) Are dishonest.

B) Have a short memory.

C) Should probably get checked out for early onset dementia.

Benghazi was an intelligence failure. An intelligence failure that happened under the Obama administration. If all things were equal, conservatives would be really mad about the WMD failed intelligence that led to an entire war. But they're not, that was an honest mistake which shines the light on the conservative prop that is Benghazi. If you're more mad about an intelligence failure that led to 4 us deaths than one that lead to a decade long war with thousands of deaths, you're anger is fake.

[Trumplestiltskin 5,791]

9/11 was an intelligence failure. Iraq was more of a cook the books situation.

Easy. The Bush administration circa the 2003 Iraq war.

Hah hah. Myopia is bliss, eh? 58% of Democrat senators voted for the Iraq resolution. Put it on Bush if you must, but Dems played a might active role in that rush to war. I know: you won't read the links.

Your example doesn't address the question though: is there any administration that has thumbed its nose on a daily basis at the rule of law? Not like this preznit's....

A) Are dishonest.

B) Have a short memory.

C) Should probably get checked out for early onset dementia.

I know why you turn immediately to demonization instead of making a righteous point (as if you could).
