This has been one of the biggest lies the right wing propaganda machine was spreading for months, that the president ordered the people in Benghazi to "stand down" during the attack.
It has now been relieved no stand down order was EVER given.
Though this won't change anything, the right wing sheep will keep right on lapping up the lies and propaganda from their beloved fox news. What a bunch of morons,...
Lawmakers: No 'stand down' order given in Benghazi attack - Washington Times
You need to try to get inside the minds of the people who don't trust Obama. They believe he is a socialist who takes from the rich and gives to the poor. They believe he is persecuting business like Stalin persecuted Ayn Rand's father. They have been told Obama is 100% dishonest, incompetent and ill-intentioned. They feel these things down to the core of their being.
They are not interested in Benghazi as a collection of true or false facts. They are more interested in saying whatever is necessary to defeat him because they think defeating him will help the country. Lying about Obama lives at the level of instinct - and it is not felt as lying, as a rule.
However, as a thought experiment, let's say they were literally concerned with the truth of what happened; let's further imagine that they made an honest and conscious decision only to report provable facts on Benghazi. Under these conditions they would still claim the "Stand Down" order was true. Why? Because they mistrust him so deeply that they cannot imagine any other possibility.
The Democrats felt the same way about Bush.
There is no such thing as objectivity when you mistrust someone so deeply and so pathologically.
