I think Benghazi epitomizes the hypocrisy of the pseudo conservatives. Quite a few of our diplomatic missions were attacked during the Bush Administration, and many dozens more people were killed than were killed at Benghazi. I didn't see or hear any of the usual right wing propaganda outlets screaming for years on end about those attacks and those deaths. I didn't see or hear any Republicans holding hearing after hearing after hearing, year after year after year.
People die during every Administration. What will happen after people die during a terror attack during the next Administration and a Republican happens to be President?
I'll tell you what will happen. You can absolutely count on the same pseudo cons doing mental leaps and twists to explain how this time is different and doesn't count.
Benghazi was a tragedy. Shit like this happens. But to stand on the bodies of the dead and stomp on them to make political hay is about as sick as it gets.
I would bet you if you went to the Republican convention this year and asked 100 people what they thought about Benghazi, they would all foam at the mouth and rant and rave. And I bet if you then asked all 100 of them what the names of the Four Dead Americans™ are, not one of them would be able to name them. And only half would be able to recall Ambassador Stevens's name.
