Republicans and media new attack on Susan Rice

They are saying that Susan Rice was too certain as to what happened on Meet the Press days after the Benghazi attacks. They say that is the problem they have with her. THE PROBLEM IS, SHE WAS NOT CERTAIN AT ALL.

This is what she said on that Meet The Press interview:

MS. RICE: Well, let us-- let me tell you the-- the best information we have at present. First of all, there’s an FBI investigation which is ongoing. And we look to that investigation to give us the definitive word as to what transpired.


THEY ARE LYING THEIR ASSES OFF and the media is too damn lazy to look at the transcript to see what Rice actually said. Republicans know this so they lie and get away with it. Even Tweety is falling for this bullshit. He seemed to be siding with Susan Collins as if somehow Rice was being political during the Sunday morning talk shows when all she did was repeat the unclassified talking points given to her by the CIA and the other intelligence agencies (not from the White House).

THIS STORY WILL ONLY GO AWAY IF THE MEDIA STARTS DOING THEIR DAMN JOB AND TELL THE TRUTH!

But the repigs want to botch the nomination, in hopes that Obama will pick John Kerry as second choice, and leave a Democratic Senate seat up for grabs, and that maybe, just maybe, Scott (brown) stain will get another chance to be a senator.

Not bloody likely.

so they can scream that there's a controversy when Obama appoints her.

This is why we need filibuster reform. Harry Reid needs to flip the GOP and the media the bird...let her get a simple up or down vote.

Fuck 'em.

will say Susan Rice acted to certain about what happened in Benghazi. But if you look at the transcripts from all the shows she went on that Sunday she was not certain at all. WTF? And the media allows these liars to continue lying.

I was working out at the gym this morning and I saw her picture on every TV that had news on.

The media is really blowing this up like there's no tomorrow.
