How to respond to the RWNJS when they flagellate over Benghazi

[Mikeystyle]

Just tell them about the Bush record on embassy security and the attacks during his term:

60 people killed

12 of them Americans

One U.S. ambassador, David Foy.

What? No Republican "outrage?" No 24/7 coverage on Fox "news?"

Let's tweet the hell out of this next time they start blathering about it.

4. I'm afraid they don't remember back that far.

If they do, they have a pat reply where they were against Bush too. Nobody saw them, but they'll swear they hated the White House, and the govt, just as much during Bush's two terms.

I've taken to simply laughing out loud at their Benghazi accusations. I ask why they think the investigation is still ongoing. I briefly state that everyone involved has been called before Congress, and no intentional wrongdoing has been uncovered. It's absurd to think the GOP just looked the other way and said "don't do it again".

This scandal, just like the fake scandals during the Clinton Years, lives on only in the right wing media. There were so many false accusations back then, they called Clinton "Slick Willy" because of his uncanny ability to weasel out of one charge after another. The Tea Party today doesn't even want to acknowledge that the Benghazi investigation is over, but it is.

It's not all their fault though. Fox News keeps pumping up the story as if heads rolled to protect the president, and more are pending. The Tea Party would call Obama "Slick Barry", but they have their own common nickname for him.

I say just laugh at them, as if no one is taking them seriously anymore. I personally know for a fact that they hate that. I had one Tea Bag friend on the phone raise his voice and start sputtering about "Fast & Furious" when I kept brushing his Benghazi talking points aside as ridiculous.

12. could ask them if they opposed Reagan too

Prez Reagan gets a lot of devoted praise from the republican faithful, but on "his watch" we had that lovely bombing of our USMC barracks in Beirut, Lebanon: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1983_Beirut_barracks_bombing

241 American servicemen died in that attack.

6. Or "keep on beating that dead horse" nt

7. They don't care about embassy attacks nor American deaths.

They only care about being able to score cheap political points.

Presenting facts to them will change nothing, however, I do wish the corporate media talking heads would bring this stuff up to them after allowing them to spew their bullshit.

8. And certainly nobody on that side batted an eyelash over more than four THOUSAND

American deaths in Iraq. Oh, THAT was just fine. No biggie. Meh, they volunteered. Now watch this drive.

9. Or use the Vince Foster approach

as time goes on and that event recedes and they are still bringing up Behghazi, just look at them like they are crazy fucks and don't respond.

10. You sing Sweet Home Hillary

Benghazi does not bother me.
Does you conscious bother you, tell me true.
