I was just watching CNN and...

[Aeroette]

the repugs are trying to make a scandal out of the embassy deaths. They're saying the administration is keeping information from them and insinuating that Obama knew the ambassador was threatened. The timing is just really convenient isn't it?

1. Erin whatever her name went on about this for the first

15 minutes of her show yesterday, full of inuendo with a repuke guest

[Gabi Hayes]

5. after that she had two repub 'lawmakers,' including johnny, soylent green, Isakson

who demonstrates the mental incapacity of the average georgia voter by installing this cretin as one of their senators

6. Thanks, good grief cnn trying to stake a claim by

trashing Hillary and Obama, arg.

7. Erin Burnett. n/t

[Cleita]

2. Hmmm, reminds me of 9/11 warnings to

Condi Rice, (Osama bin Laden determined to strike....)but in that case it was true! Looks like they are projecting again.

[spanone]

3. the media certainly downplayed the bu$h* warnings didn't they?

[elehhhhna]

4. THEY DARE TO INVOKE LIHOP???

fuck that shit time to unload on them

[Cha]

8. Another example of why cnn's ratings are so low..

It's not news..they're tying to create a narrative and Erin Burnett is nothing but a mediawhore.

Fuck cnn.

10. What you said and more!!! Its CNN doing the Faux News thing of pounding a story narrative every day

rightly or wrongly until others are forced to also pick it up. Faux does this every day with varied success. I am hoping if everyone decides this is indeed somewhat of a story, that the administration does or says something a little clearer than they have been. Rmoney in some way gave them a gift by opening his yap so and too soon. We need to straighten out the messaging on this ASAP before the people who make more $$$ out of the horserace instead of the blowout put their thumb on the scale.

9. Does the average person listen to this kind of thing or even care?

seems like something most people don't really focus on very much (not saying that's right or wrong)

11. It wasn't even October ...

[renie408]

12. Oh, it's nothing. Total non-story.

[fadedrose]

13. Aren't our ambassadors always threatened?

There are a lot of discontents in every country we have an embassy - and their embassies here go through some aggravation from American citizens. Easy to explain even for me - Obama shouldn't have any trouble. Not to worry.

14. There were 11 US embassies attacked during the Bush Years...many killed. Just not ambassadors. N/T
