I show that what you say is incorrect DF and then you drag in irrelevant stuff. The CIA's assessment was that the attacks in Benghazi spontaneously arose out of the protests in Benghazi. The Cairo protests were about the video; therefore, the White House was justified in linking the video to the Ben...

Hmm, Republicans don't want a reporter shield law allowing reporters to refuse to divulge sources (favored by the administration) They also have been big supporters of the Patriot Act, allowing law enforcement to do what they did in this AP case. Now, they want to cry about a leak which in detail ex...

RJ, what would I think if there was a Republican administration and the IRS started to screen for progressive groups? I think the problem is agreeing on the facts. In other words, right now it is clear that the IRS screened for conservative groups. The reason I don't think it is such a big scandal i...

So your argument is that even though the CIA's assessment was that the Benghazi protests spontaneously arose out if the Cairo protests that the video would not be implicated, DF? So people in Benghazi, what, looked at what was going on in Cairo, did not know why, and decided they would protest too? ...

Well, it's true that there may not be a legal remedy when discrimination is against a class that has not been granted statutory protection. Of course, the Civil Rights bill protecting against discrimination in public accomodations has only been around since 1965. I am not sure we should be pleased w...

Why were these conservative groups targeted? Is it because some people in the IRS don't like conservative groups?...Or is it because Tea Party groups after 2010 election decided that this 503(c)(4) was quite a good thing to have. We know applications doubled after the 2010 election. The fact that th...

Let's not obscure the main point here--the CIA put in all 12 of the versions that the attack arose spontaneously because of the protests in Cairo. The protests in Cairo were due to the YouTube video. So, therefore the attackin Benghazi would have been related to the video. Now it turns out that the ...

And the emails released by the White House show that the whole theory that the White House knew it was a terror attack and did not originate from a protest about a video is completely wrong. The CIA was the one that said this. How many times that I have read here and elsewhere that the administratio...

I'm sorry, fighter jets? Yeah, how could you use fighter jets in such a chaotic situation? Maybe just blow the whole compound up, right? And sending troops into a completely unknown situation is problematic. What if they got knocked down by a RPG? This second-guessing is nonsense. Most likely they w...
