Just took a cruise over to Freeperville.

[Spitfire of ATJ]

Every thread there mentioning the storm has someone claiming the MSM is using Sandy to distract America from what should be the #1 story in the nation.

The massive Obama coverup of the Bangazi Attack.

Here is their order of events:

Obama stole credit for Seal Team 6 taking out Osama bin Laden. (MAYBE, there are still Freepers who believe that's all a lie)

Obama declares victory in the War On Terror and announces it's all over.

Obama pulls security forces from embassies all over the world now that we are at peace.

Muslims see this, laugh and then launch a massive attack on our embassy in Bagazi and slaughter our unprotected diplomat.

Obama tries to claim the attack is NOT related to terrorism because he claimed the War On Terror is now over. Instead he tries to pin it on unrelated minor protests over an anti-Muslim film.

Obama STILL refuses to admit America is still under attack by the Muslim World and this has emboldened our enemies which could hit us here in the states at any time thanks to Obama's refusal to accept the reality that we are still at war and Obama should be impeached for putting Americans at home and abroad in danger with his notion that the world is full of rainbows and butterflies and people holing hands and singing.

You find yourself asking if these people ever leave the house.

[abelenkpe]

1. Wow

That's a whole lot of crazy.

[Aristus]

2. They probably

never even leave the basement!

[kimbutgar]

3. Last night I was watching Rachel and her coverage of Sandy and I joked to my husband that Fox was

probably covering Bengazi, he turned over and yes they were talking about it The biggest news event is Sandy and they were pushing their propaganda over and over for nothing. If the republicans retain the house you can bet they will try to impeach President Obama over Bengazi mark my words.

[hogwyld]

7. I did the same thing!

It was like I was in some sort of bizarro world. Massive devastation in the NE U.S., and all Fraud Insanity and gang was talking about was the Benghazi "Cover Up". I could only stomach it for about 30 or so seconds. I couldn't imagine how much my brain would be damaged if that was my only "news" source.

[Spitfire of ATJ]

14. These people REFUSE to get a clue....

"All you have to do is tell them they are being attacked and denounce the pacifists for lack of patriotism and exposing the country to danger. It works the same way in any country."

Hermann Göring (1947)

[flygal]

50. I would love to use that to a facebook friend

who keeps on daily with the Benghazi posts. three times since yesterday. People have stopped responding to him and he hasn't gotten the clue. After the election I'll put him on ignore - I keep him on hoping some of my lefty friends keep on him but they've lost interest after weeks of this. I promised myself not to post politically except for gay rights - to me that's not political.

[Spitfire of ATJ]

51. You can link to this too...

[ProudProgressiveNow]

15. Same here.

I took a look also and saw the same thing. But I must note, I loved the look of resign on Hannity's face as he discussed the polls with Rasmussen.

[Spitfire of ATJ]

21. They claim the polls are only that way because the Liberal Media supports Obama....

They keep FOX "News" on constantly and believe the rest of the media is a 24 hour Obama love fest.

Tune into HSN and you can buy Obama figurines to put in the shrine you set up to worship,...tune into "This Old House" and hear how wonderful it is to have Obama give you free money to put up solar panels that cost thousands and can charge the free cell phones he handed out,...tune into Bass Masters and hear how Obama cleaned the lake,....tune into the Fashion TV and hear them gush over whatever Michelle was last seen wearing,...tune into Entertainment Tonight and hear the Hollywood A List talking about how great Obama has been for the nation...

Quick! Flip back to FOX "News"!!!

[ProudProgressiveNow]

34. +1 nt

[JI7]

40. i turned the TV on at 7am to get updates on the Hurricane

and anything else major since it was the top of the hour. they were all on the hurricane and how the candidates are back on campaign trail.

but i turned to fox and they were talking about bengazi .

[Lilyeye]

4. They sure are obsessed over the Bangazi Attack

I can't even find one ounce in me to take these idiots seriously after they let Bush get away with bloody murder during 911, the wars and Katrina.

[Blanks]

17. Reagan and the marine barracks in Beirut.

Even if Pesident Obama did something wrong (which is unlikely) it comes nowhere near that debacle under Reagan.

Then there's the fact that they never did find WMDs in Iraq for junior.

[bvar22]

26. Careful.

One of the few things I commend Cut & Run Ronnie for is the way he handled the attack on the Marine Barracks that killed 249 Americans in 1983.
He pulled completely OUT of Lebanon.
He said he was NOT going to waste American lives in a country where we are not wanted.
Best thing he ever did,
and I wish other American Presidents would follow his lead.



You will know them by their WORKS,
not by their rhetoric, promises, or excuses.

32. Bankruptin' Ronnie was the cause of the Beirut attack

The USMC told Reagan there was no safe place in Lebanon to garrison troops, so the U.S. should bring a carrier up, house the Marines on it and use helicopters to bring troops ashore for duty. Reagan wanted to use our guys living on land as a show of strength and resolve, and gave the terrorists an easy victory. He wouldn't allow the guard force to load weapons or display heavy weapons. Give Marines the opportunity to defend themselves and they invariably pick the biggest weapons they can find.

Just after the attack, Reagan picked some relatively harmless country and invaded it to cheer people up after the dead Marines.

Reagan was a scumbag and did nothing good.

[bvar22]

33. Learning to NOT waste American lives and treasure...

...in countries where we are NOT wanted
IS a "good thing",
and I will continue to praise him for that epiphany
and encourage other American Presidents to follow his lead.

Bring. Them. Home. NOW!

The American Military has only ONE legitimate purpose,
the defense of the United States,
NOT making the World safe for the Global Resource Extraction Corporations, The World Bank, and the IMF.

[Blanks]

41. I was making a comparison.

My point is that presidents make mistakes. It is difficult (in my opinion) for right-wingers to be critical of mistakes made in Benghazi; without comparing them to past mistakes where America lives were lost.

The Beirut debacle just happened to have some common elements. If a person were interested in a serious analysis of foreign acts of terror; it would not be unreasonable to compare the two incidents.

[bvar22]

46. And that was a good comparison.

Anyone who preaches that all American Embassies, consulates, bases, or offices in foreign countries should be absolutely safe is a whack job.
Those who try to politicize an international tragedy are scum bags.

Truth is , nowhere is absolutely safe from a terrorist attack.
Not even New York City (as 9-11 taught us), much less some 3rd World Embassy or Consulate.
Not only CAN it happen,
it WILL happen again as long as the USA is adamant about making new enemies every single day.

[Spitfire of ATJ]

48. "Truth is , nowhere is absolutely safe from a terrorist attack."

Really?

This doesn't count all of the attacks on the "Green Zone" of course.

[Squinch]

36. This is gold. Is there any storage place in DU for posts that are great arguments to use in

discussions with our Dumbfoxistan relatives? If so, this one needs to be there.

[Spitfire of ATJ]

38. Bookmark the link I provided....

For relatives you can print it out and use it for wrapping paper on their Christmas gift.

[Blanks]

43. LOL

[RepublicansRZombies]

39. you forgot sept 11, 2001...when he was on vacation and got 'bin laden determined to attack' PDB

I refuse to listen to these assholes because we were not allowed to say anything bad about Bush when he was responsible for the deaths of thousands on 9/11, killing millions of innocents in wars based on that lie, subverting our Constitution....all the wasteful spending was because of Bush's lack of action.

Where were the fighter jets?

One hour after a plane hit the WTC, Rumsfeld was still in a meeting and had no idea what happened until a plane hit the pentagon.

They have no excuse for a thousand things about that day, and I am still really fucking pissed off that they murdered thousands of our fellow Americans then used it to murder more.

They used it to loot our nation, destroy the Constitution and then blame it on Obama.

I am so fucking sick of these hypocrites.

[Spitfire of ATJ]

42. These are just embassy attacks....

If you want to go into domestic attacks that's another matter as most that Bush sited were bogus.

Copycats were another matter. Right after 9/11 when word came of cutting the throat of the pilot some nut tried to cut the throat of a bus driver. After the anthrax attack there were fake powder reports popping up all over.

[ThoughtCriminal]

47. $40 million on Clinton witch hunts. $14 million on 9/11 Whitewash

Never hard to see where the Fox fixation is.

[Lilyeye]

49. Thanks for the list. It is even worse than I realized

[marezdotes]

5. These are people that are living very unhappy lives

and feel the need to try and bring everyone down to their level. These people are not worth the time.

[yellowcanine]

6. Not to mention that Sandy herself might be a Muslim Terrorist.

And the MSM is not even reporting on that possibility.

[jschurchin]

18. Thanks brother

That's one of the funniest things i have ever read.

[Squinch]

37. Weather forecasters are all commies.

[LAGC]

52. ...

[reflection]

8. Cool. You and I went over there at the same time and saw the same thing.

I just posted this thread: http://www.democraticunderground.com/10021686706

[Spitfire of ATJ]

16. Okay,....now that's just creepy that we both did that.

[ellisonz]

9. Benghazi*

[JPZenger]

10. Thank you for your report, so I don't have to venture over there

I already have enough mud on all of my shoes

[broiles]

11. Now go take a shower.

[virgogal]

12. It's Benghazi,not Bagazi or Bangazi.

[Spitfire of ATJ]

19. I was using their most common speeling.

[virgogal]

27. Gotcha !

[blue in redland]

13. wait for it...

I just saw some Sandy victims angry and complaining on TV. That will be Fox's cue to start covering the "poor victims" and blame it all on Obama and FEMA.

[lpbk2713]

30. I'm sure there were some teabaggers among the victims of Sandy's rage.

And these baggers are now frantically seeking out Faux Snooze crews
so they can deliver their spin and get their fifteen minutes of fame.

[Sekhmets Daughter]

20. "You find yourself asking if these people ever leave the house."

One would hope not...

[Spitfire of ATJ]

25. Most are voting absentee to avoid the New Black Panthers who are running off white voters.

[Sekhmets Daughter]

28. LOL

[txdemsftw]

22. That's a whole lotta' stupid.

[lpbk2713]

23. It must really hurt to be that stupid.

Fuggen mouth breathers just can't help themselves.

[BigDemVoter]

29. You have a stronger stomach than I do. . . .

Those people make me V-O-M-I-T

[Spitfire of ATJ]

31. I lurk with an eye on the comedy of it all.

[bluestate10]

35. Screw Freepers. nt

[Spitfire of ATJ]

44. Only to enjoy their screams.

[Aerows]

45. Meh

I'd rather discuss vibrators, decaff coffee and tea than wonder what those people are doing. Not a one of them seems as though they enjoy life. I am caffeine free and pretty sugar free, and I assure you, I enjoy life more than everyone of those nutbags.
