Press that never investigated Benghazi deaths, now outraged over Christie traffic jam

[plant]

Republicans imagining things again. The media reported on Benghazi for months. Hell we're still hearing about it.

This little traffic jam scandal will be gone in a week

Running cover is not reporting.

More partisan rightwing ignorance and nonsense.

The media would love nothing more than Benghazi as a real scandal; nothing sells papers better than the impeachment of a president.

The media are motivated by profits. Period.

Exactly

 

[g5000]

If the press had paid half the attention to the Obama admin's progressive reductions in the guard force at the Benghazi compound, even as terrorist attacks and bombings increased there all summer, while Obama was running for re-election saying the terrorists were "on the run".......

...somebody might have been prosecuted by now for the deaths of four Americans including and Ambassador. Or at least fired.

But noooo, we can't have that.

Scream at Chris Christie (R) instead! One of his aides deliberately caused a traffic jam!

Can you give us an example of a press outlet which did not investigate Benghazi but is outraged over the traffic jam?

I also can't help but notice you set the Benghazi bar at "investigate" but only set it at "outraged" for the traffic jam.

Hmmmm...


I see the New York Times is giving a lot of coverage to the traffic jam thing. Gosh, I bet those are the ones you think never investigated Benghazi, amiright?


Stop drinking Rush's piss, dude.

No--they are complacent with getting Barack Obama elected--a main participant--that actually helped kick the more qualified--experienced candidate (Hillary Clinton)--to the curb to nominate and elect a community organizer. Their biggest fear is that they'll be called a racist for any criticism of this President and or his policies. They're not going to turn their backs on him now--and end up with egg all over their faces.

 

[Listening]

in 2011 and 2012 republicans voted down a request from the state department for more security funding.

Did republicans hope an attack on americans overseas would be successful, so they could make political points on it?

I would not put it past them.

LINK PLEASE ~~ Media Matters is NOT a reliable source
Seems that you missed the congressional hearing that prove that it was the SOS that refused any protection in Benghazi. They were begging for protection especially on 9/11. It was refused on multiple occasions.

This is Chris the dick.....you'll rarely get anything from him to support one of his turd opinions.

That's your perception . Issa is batting a big fat Zero , if there was any thing going on. Issa's sorry ass would have dug it up by now, just to try and save face. Kinda hard for the media to report on something if it's not based in facts . Not some right wing propaganda machine ( faux , world nut daily ) trying to sway the public opinion based on fairy tails .

How odd that you missed so much of the Benghazi coverage. It was quite overwhelming.

Especially the detailed reporting just released by the NY Times...

Nice try, but your theory doesn't hold water.

Benghazi personnel were not only denied additional security, but could have been removed from the embassy the way people from other countries were. The State Dept also removed the existing security just days before the attack. They did that knowing that there were serious threats surrounding the ambassador. A recent report showed that the proposed cuts had nothing to do with the removal of security or the denial for requests for more security. There has been no explanation as to why they didn't at least get the people out of harm's way amid threats, attacks and the upcoming anniversary of 9/11, which should always be considered a day of high alert. Maybe the Obama supporters just think it's a happy day of community service, but the rest of us know better.

Are you and others trying to infer that Hillary, Obama and others knew there was a threat, yet told the ambassador, "Sorry, we'd like to help, but the budget was cut?" They knew about threats, as did everyone, because they were well-publicized and the ambassador was in touch with the State Dept, as well as his family and friends. The direct threat to his life was posted online. Claiming ignorance won't fly this time. They knew and yet did nothing. Sorry, but this is all on the Obama administration.

The media knew how bad it was and that is likely why the obedient state controlled media shifted focus on anything/everything other than Benghazi.

They live for shit like this traffic jam. Despite a lack of proof and only an allegation, they are running with this and shouting from the roof tops that we have a scandal. It's almost hysterical in light of the real serious scandals that were swept under the rug.

If Christie had anything to do with this, I hope he pays dearly. I just wish the media would be this diligent with the other scandals.

 

[BullKurtz]

The Benghazi deaths that Hillary "took responsibility for". Hussein's obstruction of the Benghazi deaths, the death of the Border Patrol agent murdered with a weapon that the ATF shipped to Mexico, the IRS spying that the head of the IRS "took responsibility for" all pale in comparison to a traffic jam in Ft. Lee N.J.

" that the ATF shipped to Mexico"

It's statements like that are so beyond the actual facts of the matter that the matter can't even be discussed.

Bullshit...that's exactly what happened...hundreds of assault-style weapons without tracking devices...they ended up in the hands of the Sinaloa cartel and have murdered hundreds of mexican nationals. You want to dispute that, BRING IT ON.

No point in discussing the birff certificate...it's a fake, everybody knows it's a fake, and the American people didn't care that Barry Soetoro was never eligible to serve as POTUS. So be it....those who voted for the muslim queer got exactly what they deserved....5 years and $7T of continuing debt and degradation.

 

[ClosedCaption]

The press didnt find anything therefore they never investigated. Such simple minds.

maybe they didnt find anything because theres nothing to find.

The existing gun laws of AZ allow the purchase of the weapons that are still streaming across the boarder. The ATF was watching and trying to track them. The DA refused to prosecute those whom the ATF suspected of Straw purchasing. What about all the weapons that get into the hand of the Cartels that are not tracked? Are you willing to put some limit on Guns purchases to stop the flow of weapons? The Fascist Drug war is much more culpable in the death of those thousands than that ATF operation.

OH btw the Cartels get most of their weapon from the Mexican Military. Guess where the Mexican military gets most of it's weapons from!

Again....BULLSHIT. I live in Phoenix..this is a local issue because it happened here. The ATF did NOT track those weapons...they lost track of them after their straw purchases in gun stores over in Glendale blew up in their idiot faces. Those who purchased the weapons did so with ATF money, AFT instructions. Of course the DA didn't go after them...they were acting on DOJ orders. Weapons are NOT "flowing across the border"...that's why the cartels wanted these. There is no need for "limits" on gun purchases...the "limits" need to be placed on the criminal regime that not only armed a murderous drug cartel, but PROMOTED the ATF jackalopes who messed up the sting. And then Holder and Napolitano committed multiple counts of perjury trying to cover it up.

Customers can legally buy as many weapons as they want in Arizona as long as they're 18 or older and pass a criminal background check. There are no waiting periods and no need for permits, and buyers are allowed to resell the guns. "In Arizona," says Voth, "someone buying three guns is like someone buying a sandwich."

By 2009 the Sinaloa drug cartel had made Phoenix its gun supermarket and recruited young Americans as its designated shoppers or straw purchasers. Voth and his agents began investigating a group of buyers, some not even old enough to buy beer, whose members were plunking down as much as $20,000 in cash to purchase up to 20 semiautomatics at a time, and then delivering the weapons to others.


The agents faced numerous obstacles in what they dubbed the Fast and Furious case. (They named it after the street-racing movie because the suspects drag raced cars together.) Their greatest difficulty by far, however, was convincing prosecutors that they had sufficient grounds to seize guns and arrest straw purchasers. By June 2010 the agents had sent the U.S. Attorney's office a list of 31 suspects they wanted to arrest, with 46 pages outlining their illegal acts. But for the next seven months prosecutors did not indict a single suspect.

Ah, so now you've stopped telling your own lies and linking to somebody else's. I'm not going to waste more time on your bullshit....what I haven't told you is the Sinaloa criminal activities in the US are being IGNORED for fear of more of these weapons being discovered in crime scenes. You can continue to run cover for the mutant motherfuckers who ran this operation to your heart's content for all I care....but you have no idea what happened nor do you care to.

...somebody might have been prosecuted by now for the deaths of four Americans including and Ambassador. Or at least fired.

But noooo, we can't have that.

Limbaugh had the numbers this afternoon.....there were more stories on Christie's "bridge-gate" in one day than the media did on the IRS treachery in 17 days. When Rahm plays his little Hitler games in Chicago he's called "tough with sharp elbows"....Christie is called a "bully" with multiple references to his weight. Rahm was a ballet dancer and known to frequent Chicago bathhouses....the same ones Obama went to. No mention of him never being tougher than mailing a dead fish to somebody.....any woman on this board could beat the tar out of Rahm Israel Emanuel. Incidentally it was Rahm's father who wrote the Barry-Care law.
