In 5 Seconds, Chaffetz Breaks The World Record In Hypocrisy Over Embassy Security 'Scandal.'

[TrollBuster9090]

A couple of weeks ago Darrell Issa had his fun-balloon (Fast & Furious Faux Scandal) popped by the mean old independent investigator who found no connection between an ATF straw gun purchaser investigation, that had nothing to do with gun running and which never made it beyond Arizona in the intelligence food chain, and Eric Holder. Not only that, the only one to resign over it was Bush appointee ATF Director Ken Melson.

He pouted for awhile, and then found a NEW toy to play with. He and Jason Chaffetz are now going after a new contrived scandal over the Obama Administrations apparent lack of security for the Embassy in Libya. That is until our hero, Soledad O'Brian asked him about his embarrassing little vote on Embassy Security funding.

Count them. FIVE SECONDS between assclown-in-chief Jason Chaffetz's full throated attack on the Obama Administration's lack of security for the Embassy, and a full throated defense of his vote to cut funding for Embassy security. That's GOT to be some kind of RECORD! Honestly, I don't know how he does it. If you tried to go from full forward at 120mph to full reverse in a Porsche, you'd rip the transmission to shreds! Apparently, the Republican hypocrisy machine is far more advanced than that.

Watch the interview.

1. and I hope Obama points this out when he is asked, and he will be asked

[B Calm]

27. That would be nice,

but knowing Obama, don't count on it. .

[orpupilofnature57]

2. Ambiguous aversion , their only expertise.

[spanone]

3. unbelievable. politicians have no shame. this asshole sticks his head so far up his own ass,

he thinks he's breathing fresh air...has no clue of the idiocracy of this statement

[central scrutinizer]

4. Yikes! Did he pull his hamstring?

backpedaling at that speed is dangerous

[LondonReign2]

7. The astonishing thing is that he didn't backpeddle at all!

He somehow made the claim that we needed more security AND he voted to fund less security, and he sees no conflict in that at all.

'Mr. Representative, did you vote for less oxygen?"

"Absolutely, we have too much oxygen."

"But people suffocated"

"Yes, we have to prioritze"

"'But people suffocated because of lack of oxygen, which you voted to decrease"

"The Obama adminstration should have had more oxygen there. But we have to prioritze, we have too much oxygen".

He's a moron, and all the riguht-wing morons will eat this up without seeing the disconnect

[Cha]

5. It's the GOP House that CheapSkated ON Libya..

MFs OWN It.

[msongs]

8. only if the dems make them own it instead of being "polite" nt

[RobertEarl]

6. Its ok if you are a republican

How in the world do these people get elected?

Diebold?

[TrollBuster9090]

28. Crooked voting machines is part of it. Politics of Resentment is the other.

The GOP has perfected Politics of Resentment to the point where their supporters hate the groups that support the opposition party so much that they don't really care what their own side says. That's how self-declared evangelists will vote for the mormon instead of the baptist, as long as the mormon is a Republican, or a Republican who signed an assault weapons ban in Massachusetts over a Democrat who's actually LOOSENED gun control laws.

The Republican base is in such a perpetual state of anger, hatred and resentment that they'd support Republican candidates if they were running on a platform of drowning kittens, so long as they whooped the Democrats.

[bluesbassman]

9. Well, they do tend to leave a lot of skid marks shifting gears like that. And not on the road.

[orpupilofnature57]

24. +1000

[BainsBane]

10. He doesn't even pause

Unreal.

[BainsBane]

11. Okay, so when you know the consulate was already attacked

You should know that consulate should have been prioritized above all others that don't need security, in Chaffetz's view.

[Savannahmann]

12. Assholes

[surrealAmerican]

13. unbelievable.

How can he even keep a straight face saying crap like that?

k&r

[mindwalker_i]

14. Issa should be beaten unconscious with a giant dildo

Then he should have to carry it into prison with him.

[BumRushDaShow]

15. Sharpton is doing it right now... n/t

[skydive forever]

16. I loved how

she looked physically startled when he said that he voted to cut the funding. Its only a second or so long, but it made me LOL.

[MsLeopard]

25. Yes! Soledad, you go girl!!

That look was great, and they cut away from it because she was probably about to burst out laughing!

Welcome to DU!

[TrollBuster9090]

29. Yeah, the look on her face was priceless.

[theKed]

32. There was

a little bit of a smile, in there, too...like "I'm gonna nail this bastard live on the air. awesome."

[Astazia]

17. P.S. Chaffetz is the one that sleeps in his Congressional office v paying rent in DC.

Lawrence asked him if he puts THIS additional residence on his tax return & he said he needed all his income (not kickbacks) to support his family in Utah. What a sleezeball he is! n/t

[TrollBuster9090]

30. I can't believe there isn't a law against that.

I'm pretty sure if any other civil servant decided to camp out in their office they'd get a citation before they'd even inflated the air mattress.


So...does he hang a DO NOT DISTURB sign on the door to keep the janitor from coming in to empty the wastepaper basket while he's spanking the lizard to the Megyn Kelly Show?

[ErikJ]

18. How many millions did Issa waste in Fast and Furious? And now this?

These clowns are wasting the treasury for their conspiracies. Where's the jobs Issa?

[Beartracks]

19. And it's a well-oiled machine at that.

The GOP needs lots of lube. It helps when trying to ram rightwing policies into places they don't fit.

20. Give him a break his Meds are confusing him!!!!

Given that he represents a portion of Happy Valley (they pop them like vitamins or M&M's!!) and a large rural section of the southwest portion of UT,........................what can you expect...............He's a good little soldier and does what he is told (that's the Mormon religion for you!!)

[beachgirl2365]

21. Happy Valley = Prozac capital of the world!!!

[southernyankeebelle]

22. She sure has come out as a pitbull. Good for her. Take Burnett out and put the pitbull in.

[marble falls]

23. How does he keep a straight face? Not enough security is the President' fault, but my cutting ...

was a tough choice in the face being elected to make this President fail. BS in the first degree.

[dmr]

26. K&R

31. Re:In 5 Seconds, Chaffetz Breaks The World Record In Hypocrisy Over Embassy Security 'Scandal.'

This is so shameful. It is a attack on the security of entire country. Government should take strict action on such act.
