Desperation: Fox Running 24x7 Benghazi Marathon

[ksoze]

Listening to a few minutes of Fox News this Sunday, the 24/7 coverage of BenghaziGate hunting continues. The panel is consumed with all things Benghazi and Karl Rove is on the verge of a stroke trying to push their conspiracy theory. These guys need to be buried in a landfill after the election for politicizing this event in the middle of an election. The smell of loss is reeking in the Fox newsrooms.

1. yes

if they had any confidence in their man they would not try to play politics so much.

2. Who does FOX think they're "influencing" by doing this? Nobody but the far-right loonies....

...watch FOX and believe the crap they're broadcasting.

Seriously, why are YOU watching those idiots?

[Tribetime]

3. Fox doesn't report news...they manufacture it

[vinny9698]

4. They also manufacture their own reality

Remember the palm trees in Wisconsin, the pictures of Obama rallies being attributed to tea party rallies, sponsoring tea party rallies, hiring non qualified journalists from defeated gop politicians, climate change is a hoax because it snows in the winter, survey after survey proves that the more you watch fox the dumber you become.

5. The average person knows that shit happens

and you do your best to mitigate damage whenever possible. But not Fox. They weren't this interested in 9/11, for God's sake.

6. The economy is improving, so they have to try to spin a "failure" somewhere.

the benghazi attack is the best they can come up with.
nevermind all of the similar attacks that occured during the
AWOL Bush administration.. oh, and nevermind the complete
and total INCOMPETANCE of the AWOL Bush admin on 9/11/01.

Sorry, Fox. Bin Laden: still dead.

7. Benghazi

I was listening last night to Jeanine Piro -SHE IS VILE!. She was saying that the pres. should have sent a AC-130 aircraft to Benghazi to the rescue. She is a moron. AC-130 is useless in urban areas. Unless of course your intention is to kill everyone and everything.

8. Rove was acting like a 4-star general insted of the 4-star ass he is

He was suggesting military operational actions like he was some kind of field expert instead of the recliner cowboy he is. These "experts" who have no intelligence info, no contact with those in the field and a partisan agenda are dangerous and vile.

9. Rove is another.

The FOX morons (all of them) want to make people believe that the pres. got recommendations from the CIA, the mil intel, the pentagon, the joint chiefs, the state dept. and they all advised to send "help" to Benghazi . And then they want us to believe that he took all the advice and said NO! How stupid do they think people are? I think Rmoney (spelled so intentionally) knows better and he says nothing on Benghazi. His surrogates do. It will not work!

10. Fox News knows what they're doing.

It's all just a very clever political play by the Republican party, and Fox is playing their part by distributing it to ignorant voters.

If someone who doesn't understand baseball watches a bunt they may ask why that player is allowed to take a turn at bat. They could point out that the batter couldn't even hit the ball beyond the pitcher's mound. Once the sacrifice play is explained, it becomes apparent why the hitter did this.

Playing up the events at Benghazi as incompetence is also not what it appears. Republicans aren't trying to make a case against the White House so much as they are trying to recreate a scene from an election past. They're working on creating a scenario where Benghazi is Iran in 1978 and Obama is Jimmy Carter, seen by them as in over his head and without foreign respect. If Obama is Jimmy Carter in this election, that means Romney is Ronald Reagan. I admit it's a clever strategy, but only those ignorant to politics would fail to see it for what it is.

We won't hear a word about Benghazi after November 6th.

11. There are a couple of Republibots on my other board.....

spewing the Libya-gate bullshit.

Goes on Gish Gallop wall of text posts to make his non-existent points.

It's really annoying.

[ThoughtCriminal]

12. They don't get why the rest of us aren't buying in

to their manufactured outrage.

Ask any normal person how upset they were about "Whitewater".

Money spent on Clinton-Lewinsky investigation: $40 million
Money spent on 9/11 "investigation": $14 million

Understand where the priorities are?

13. It's the desperation that is telling. Better than any poll.

14. All recent Woods/Behghazi links scrubbed from Drudge.

So far Fox is the only one running with the Woods stuff...
