This is the right simply changing a story they don't like. This is no different than the UE number scam they tried to pull a couple weeks ago. Didn't like the number, so it must have been faked. Don't like Romney lying and getting caught red handed at it, make up a new story where Romney didn't lie.
"This" is simply people pointing out the absurdity of that "story".
The Obama Administration knew there was no demonstration that night in Bengazi because they had access to streaming video of the attack as it occurred that clearly showed there was no crowd outside the embassy before the terrorist attack began.
The truth is...this Administration knew that this was an act of terrorism right from the start. They CHOSE to label it something else for political reasons. They CHOSE to put forth a false narrative that our Ambassador and three other Americans were murdered because of the YouTube video even though they knew that was NOT the case at all.
Why would they do such a thing? It's obvious that the only reason to do what they did was an attempt to save themselves from political embarrassment shortly before the election. That in and of itself angers me but what really disgusts me is that they then had the utter gall to accuse Mitt Romney of playing politics with this issue.
Barack Obama had the chutzpah to stand on that stage...deny that he or anyone in his Administration had misled the American people in any way and called Romney "offensive" for making such a charge. He did so KNOWING that he'd lied and been exposed doing so. Again....why would anyone do something so stupid? Quite simply because THIS President believes that the Main Stream Media will always have his back no matter how blatant the lie is that he tells...and judging from Candy Crowley's performance, his assessment is correct.
In the Middle East, state media rules the day. If the media puts something out, it's as though the government is a sponsor of it.
So when people over there who now get the internet stumble upon right-wing sites--which are all about inflaming anger and not about understanding anything--those people think that the American government is a sponsor to that right-wing bullshit.
So then our government has to come out and explain the actions of the stupid among us, the unpatriotic among us, the hateful and the bigoted among us.
Our government has to explain this so that people learn and understand that the media isn't state-run like over there, and we explain it in order to disconnect this great country from the vile shit the worst among us perpetuate.
So, the right-wing can continue on with this meme that there is some grand conspiracy that says the administration was only thinking about political repercussions, but in fact, the POTUS declared the following day that it was an act of terror, and in the subsequent days following, and ever since.
Meanwhile, what isn't a conspiracy is the fact that Republicans voted to cut security for Embassies.
Suck it.
