Would the button-popping proud patriotic Gee-Oh--Pee-ers use a heart-breaking tragedy to fill their political coffers and demean the lives of the men who died in BENGHAZI!?
Would those flag-waving, Kenyan-President-hating Goopers stoop to gutter politics and use the deaths of four Americans to squeeze money out of their gullible base and prolong the investigation of what Charlie Pierce calls "a banquet of nothing burgers?" Would they continue to Darrell Issalize this terrible misfortune and use it as a grubby tool to raise filthy lucre for the upcoming 2014 elections? And is Trey Gowdy just another preening hemorrhoid who's emerged from the deep dark fissures of Teabaggistan?
Is it true that the very same people, who condemned the Obambi administration for being tyrannically callous and deceitful over what happened on September 11, 2012, in Libya, would callously and deceitfully exploit that tragedy?
The Gee--Oh--Pee-ers' only goal is to get out
Oh what difference does it make! This is America, and we all love really good scandalesque diversions.
John Boehner dodges on Benghazi fundraising
"Asked again if it is proper for the National Republican Congressional Committee to use this committee money, Boehner said, “Our focus is getting the truth for these four families and for the American people.”
Rep. Trey Gowdy (R-S.C.), whom Boehner tapped to chair the committee, has already said it’s inappropriate to try to raise political money off the investigation. Visitors to the NRCC web site who clicked on a Benghazi-related post this week were then asked to donate money to “stop Democrats from controlling all of Washington.”
Morning Joe Slams GOP For ‘Undermining the Credibility of Benghazi Committee’ with Fundraising
Trey Gowdy (R-S.C.), the chairman of the House select committee on Benghazi, said Republicans should not fundraise off “the backs of four murdered Americans.”
House Republican Candidate Fundraising Off Of Benghazi Investigation
$$$$$$$$$$ BENGHAZI! $$$$$$$$$$
Yep, even that horror Krauthammer thinks it's time to stop doing the Benghazi Boogie Woogie, but "undermining the credibility" is not possible with the crowd that thinks Biblical fundamentalism is "credible" and science isn't. It really doesn't matter if the GOP shits its flaming pants screaming any more than it matters that they blocked funds for embassy security. It's the noise that counts. It's getting the Tea Zombies out in the street with lanterns and pitchforks calling for impeachment. Zombies don't think and it takes a shot to the head to stop them.
ReplyDeleteThe only thing that surprises me is that they haven't made up a story about Obama and Monica yet.
Ben - Ben
Ben a Ben Ghazi
Baby it's the da-ance
Made a for romance. . .
It is nauseating actually.
ReplyDeleteOn your closing note Captain, feed that to Gohmert or Palin anonymously and they just might run with it.
I removed the comment from the troll who called himself "Happy Mothers Day!" That was the asshole, Thersites, who left the same comment and link at my blog. It was some stupid post about abortion. Thersites is a disturbed individual who keeps trying to leave moronic comments at my blog even though he's been deleted for the past two years. He has set up a parody blog of Progressive Eruptions and thinks he's clever, when actually he's just plain boring and pedantic and believes he's an "intellectual."
ReplyDeleteHe's welcomed at all the usual Bagger blogs. They're not discerning, have no taste, and will post anything so long as it bashes liberals. As I said, boring.
Ah trolls. There have been far fewer of them here in the last year, but like the hooligans the early Nazis recruited to break windows and start fights in beer halls, that element exists everywhere. I could comment on the similarities between that effort in the 1930's and the Republican effort today, but it would do no good. I just hate it that our internet has made life easier for such scum.
DeleteIn the Lebanon Marine Barracks Bombing of 1983), the American death toll was 241 (220 marines, 18 sailors, and 3 soldiers). It occurred during the administration of President Ronald Reagan (R). Other attacks on U.S. facilities during Republican administrations are worthy of mention:
ReplyDelete1983 – Beirut Lebanon, U.S. Embassy, 63 dead (Reagan administration);
1984 – Beirut Lebanon, Embassy Annex bombing, 24 dead (Reagan administration);
2002 – American Cultural Center, Calcutta India, 2 dead (Bush #43 administration)
2002 – Karachi Pakistan, U.S. Embassy, 12 dead, 51 injured, (Bush #43 administration)
2002 – Bali Indonesia, 202 dead (Bush #43 administration)
2006 – Karachi Pakistan, Marriott Hotel, 4 dead, (Bush #43 administration)
2008 – Sana’a Yemen U.S. Embassy, 18 dead, 16 injured (Bush #43 administration)
You see, here is the situation as I see it. It is easy to engage in partisan warfare with “Benghazi, Benghazi. ” It sorta reminds me of the Kamikaze battle charge: Tenno Heika Banzai (Long live the Emperor)” or simply Banzai for short. Far easier than chanting: Beirut, Beirut, Beirut, Calcutta, Karachi, Bali, Karachi, and Sana’a.
Short and pithy is what a political hit job is supposed to sound like, not some multi-syllabic string of mumbo jumbo.
Let’s face it: Benghazi has a certain Banzai ring to it.
