Unfortunately, it's apparently all you can do. - Dan G

In this situation I would recommend a 'hand jerk' response instead. - Dan G

Why not go any further? I went through the whole list. You are either too lazy to read the whole list, or don't want to because it makes Benghazi tinglers like you look like birthers. - Dan G

You're welcome. Any response? - Dan G

Lies? #1: Could have been true at the time. Seems to be false now. #2: Could have been true at the time. Seems to be false now. #3: Debatable. #4: True. #5: True. #6: True. #7: True. #8: True, I presume. #9: True (there were numerous protests over the video in cities other than Benghazi). #10: Lie (congrats, you're 1 for 10 so far). #11: Lie, or just wrong depending on when it was said. #12: Lie, or just wrong depending on when it was said. #13: Either a lie, or just a lack of communication flowing up the chain. Either way, in hindsight not providing more security was a mistake. #14: Lie. #15: True. #16: True, unless you think the US Government created and released that video as a cover-up for an Al Qaeda attack that they were involved in planning. #17: True. #18: True or not, depending on your politics. #19: Lie, or just wrong depending on when it was said. #20: True or a lie, depending on which protests he was talking about. So, in hindsight maybe you should change your title to 'Top 5 Lies, Top 4 Debatable Points, and Top 11 Facts About Benghazi'. - Dan G

Yes, my bad. I mistyped. Thanks for catching that. - Dan G

Read again. You totally missed the point. I suspect intetionally, but maybe not. Maybe you're one of those people who think every Muslim is an armed extremist, in which case there's really no point talkng to you. - Dan G

Saying anything to an armed extremist is dangerous. That's why they call them extremists. On the other hand, wishing the blessings of God on a normal Muslim is not only dangerous, it's considered polite. - Dan G

It is irrelevant. And no, I don't remember how important that was on 9-11. We know exactly where Bush was when 9-11 happened. The only person who made a big deal about it was Michael Moore, who is a buffoon. - Dan G

Wow, we're making some progress. So let me ask you what it was you think he lied about. Is it just about the source of the violence (the video) or did he also lie about the lack of military response? Do you believe Obama wanted Chris Stevens dead because he had information on illegal weapons deals? Do you think Obama redfused to send in reinforcements that were at the ready? If so, why? I agree that the attack was not related to the videotape, but I'm not sure about the timeline of who knew what and when. I don't think it was irrational for the Administration to believe the videotape was related, since there were numerous protests in other cites at the same time regarding that stupid video. You can't dispute that, it's well documented. They clearly made an initial error in linking the attack in Benghazi with simultaneous protests in other cities. That was an intel failure, not a lie. Where they may have cocked it up good is sticking with that story even after they knew better. That's what I think is the only legitimate aspect of this scandal. What I don't know right now is what the actual timeline was, and what the reason for sticking with the video story was. You don't know those things either, they have yet to come out. Your position that Obama lied about the source of the attack to help his campaign makes no sense to me. I just can't imagine any President as politically saavy as Obama would not find a better way to spin the atack than blaming it on a stupid internet video. Maybe you're right, but it doesn't seem logical. The biggest difference between me and you over this is that you are all tingly-legged over it because it harms Obama. I'm still waiting for more information before I jump to conclusions like you are so ready to do. - Dan G

You won't, why should she? - Dan G

I knew you would be unable to articulate your position. I just wanted everyone else to see it, too. - Dan G

I'll try again to have a discussion... What is it that you see as the issue regarding the Benghazi attacks? If you give me a succint description of the issues at hand as you see them, I'll try to respond. Same request stands regarding non sequitor one-liners, please. - Dan G

You really need to figure out what you're mad about. When you do, and can put it into a succint sentence or two, please let me know and I'll try to respond. And none of your non sequitor one liners, please. Just say what you believe the issue is. - Dan G

It took three years to build the Empire State Building. What's your point? - Dan G

Can you image what a left leaning poster would sound like to you if they insisted that you don't like Rachel Maddow because you haven't really listened to her? You'd think they were blinded by their biases. - Dan G

As I'm sure you know, Nixon resigned. He was pressured to resign by the fact that Congress was considering impeachment and his fellow Republicans were not going to back him up. We haven't gotten anywhere near that far in this case. Perhaps we will, but it doesn't look that way to me. - Dan G

Giving them a pass is not the same thing as saying what happened, regardless of how bad, was not an impeachable offense. And your A & B scenarios are really not the only two choices of how things really happened. Did you read your own link about the supposed testimony of the 2nd in command DOS guy? He testifies that he was told repeatedly that air support was not available for logistical reasons. If that was true, then your whole argument goes out the window. - Dan G

Perhaps politically, but neither one rises to the level of a high crime or misdemeanor for which the President can be impeached. - Dan G

OK, good point. Then what about drugs? Why should they be illegal? - Dan G

No its not. And I think you'd have a hard time arguing that in a court of law. You're still assuming that bad things will happen before they do. Aren't you one of the people mocking Kallend for his future-crime machine? Obviously, but we're talking about the law, not common sense. - Dan G

I understand your argument, but then why is DWI illegal? Even more to the point, why are drugs in general illegal? Why is the government banning the object (the joint, the pill, etc.) instead of only punishing the criminal acts caused by the irresponsible use of the object? - Dan G

But did you burn it for Jesus? (I can't believe you people missed religion) - Dan G

It's probably my favorite joke of all time. I set it in a bar and use a thick Irish accent. "See this bar, I carved it with me own two hands. But do they call me Seamus the bar-carver? No, laddie, they don't!" - Dan G

Yeah, but you fuck one goat... - Dan G
