Sorry but the Clintons hold the title....
Sorry, but the Clinton's never stooped so low to attack Medal of Honor Marines.
Nah, she just sat back and watched as Americans were murdered in Benghazi and did nothing to help them.
Fantasy scenario unless you have the only proof that eight investigations couldn't uncover.
I guess you don't stay current on the news. It's been common knowledge that there was an order to stand down. There are very few people who have that sort of power. Obama certainly, The Chairman of the joint Chiefs, Hillary, and probably the Secretary of the Army, Air Force or Navy. A nice small list and no one knows who did it... Sure they don't.....

I guess you only read the encapsulated sleaze that oozes from right wing news sites. There was no way for the military to respond, the closest quick action force was out of the country and was in Serbia on a training mission. The Ambassador died within the first 90 minutes and the first assistance didn't come for four hours by chartered plane from Tripoli which is an hour and twenty minute flight. I'll let you do the math.
There was a surveillance drone on station two hours after trouble started but the nearest strike capable U.S. aircraft was stationed in Aviano Italy, 1,000 miles away and any response would need intelligence to tell them what they needed to prepare for and had to have a system in place to refuel on return.
Any stand down order would have been given when the military assessed that it would have been a futile effort, and in this case that certainly seems to have been the predictable result.
