— DrewM Like the ever shifting details about the raid that killed Osama bin Laden, the administration can't get its story straight about the attack on the US Consulate in Benghazi, Libya.
First it was just a protest that gotten out of hand. Even though one of those killed observed one of the local "guards" scouting the grounds.
Then it was a "terrorist attack" but it wasn't planned, just you know, some terrorists who saw an opportunity, grabbed their heavy weaponry and just got lucky the Ambassador was there.
Now it turns out that witnesses say there was never any protests and it was a straight up attack.
Witnesses of last week's deadly attack on a U.S. consulate in Libya have told CBS News that the alleged anti-American protest that U.S. officials say morphed into the assault never actually took place.The new details add to the widening rift between U.S. and Libyan accounts of the attack as Secretary of State Hillary Clinton is expected to brief members of Congress behind closed doors Thursday. On Wednesday, a top U.S. counterterrorism official told lawmakers on Capitol Hill that the assault was "opportunistic," but a "terrorist attack."
Meanwhile the Libyans say they gave the US three days advance warning that trouble was brewing.
So, who are you going to believe? Some ramshackle government or the Libyans?
Yeah, me too.
Added: You can see the video version of the report here.
CBS' conclusion?
"What's clear," the CBS reporter concludes, "is that the public won't get a detailed account of what happened until after the election."
And they're ok with that? Your Lap Dog Media in action.

The reason Carter lost convincingly in 1980 is that the MSM hammered the hostage story relentlessly day and night. (That's how Nightline, the show whose host has the big hair - got its start.) Every night: DAY 28: AMERICA HELD HOSTAGE. This went on for what, 144 days?
That was a time when the MSM still displayed a smidgen of journalistic integrity. Fast forward to today:
MSM covers for their boyfriend at the expense of national security.

You know the entire attack had to be recorded on video, whether on fixed security cameras or filmed by the terrorists themselves.
This video will surface at some point, showing the (now non-existent) protesters "helping" the ambassador to the hospital. It will only look like they are sodomizing him and dragging him through the streets.
Let's hope someone breaks this loose before the election.

This relates to my list of 11 absurd things we've been asked to believe in the past week and a half:
1) Ambassador killed by "spontaneous" protestors with RPGs, mortars, and machine guns, not a terrorist attack.
2) "Low profile" security in Benghazi was OK (in an area where random people allegedly walk around with RPGs, etc), and in no way reflects on Hillary, who is responsible for security there, and her boss.
3) The Egyptian failure to provide security, which resulted in our Embassy being breached, is not a reflection on what they think of the US or its President.
4) The President is not responsible for embassy statements, even though representing the US is literally the embassy's job, and POTUS personally appointed the ambassador. Obama apparently heads a different US govt than they do.
5) Crowds screaming "Death to America" in 22 countries does not relect an anti-American sentiment that would imply that US standing in the Arab world is the same as before Obama, or actually worse.
6) The existence of a short, amateurish, and obscure video clip is a reasonable reason for rioting, and said rioting is the fault of said clip's author, not of the rioters.
7) It is complete coincidence that it was 9/11, despite said clip being out for months.
There is a timeline for disputing US statements disrespecting free speech, and not following it is a "gaffe".
9) It's OK for the Pres to head off to fundraise in Vegas, and have his national security briefings mailed in, after the killing of a US ambassador, and during multiple attacks on US soil at various US embassies.
10) Bringing a guy in for questioning after midnight, surrounded by a dozen law enforcement officers and multiple news crews is a perfectly reasonable way to look into a sudden interest in possible white-collar parole violations, it is a complete coincidence that said individual had just appeared in the news for doing something that was completely legal, and it was no way an attempt to bully or intidate anybody out of their free speech rights by the very same authorities who are supposed to be defending them.
11) This is all bad for Romney.
As to #11, the bubble of fantasy surrounding Obama should be bursting after this astounding display of unseriousness and incompetence, which is at a dangerous level. But I don't see evidence of that, so we seem to have a rather frightening Idiocracy situation going on here.

Because they're rich and they like being invited to hoity-toity parties.
No, really, that's the extent of it. They are incredibly, unbelievably shallow. They all operate under the belief that, "Nothing's going to happen to ME, so let's keep this gravy train going." The Dems have the "cool" views, and since most media folks are uglier than a baboon's butt, they feel a pathological need to be part of the "in-crowd."
Of course,t here are a few who proclaim themselves to be full-fledged socialists and/or communists. In response to them I would say, "No you aren't. You think you are, but you aren't. You know how I know? Because if you'd spent one year in Soviet Russia, and ended up tossed in the gulag for complaining about the price of bread, THEN you'd know what a communist is."

It's been a lengthy string of things that aren't even political opinions - just objective facts - being ignored, invented, or denied, that only have indirect political implications. It's not an argument about marginal tax rate, abortion, or a troop withdrawl. If these things didn't reflect on their guy, these are all things a Democrat could agree with, and probably would if the shoe was on the other foot.

When can we expect Hillary to be called out for her lies about Stevens being lifted by the rioters in attempt to get him to the hospital? What about her decision to have lax, unarmed security for our diplomats in Libya?
The MSM knows people died, right? This isn't just some fake racism controversy they're covering. Obama (and Hillary, Rice, Carney) LIED and people died.

Someone explain to me WHY the liberal media protects the JEF? What do they get out of it? They all have brothers/sisters/friends that have regular jobs that most likely are facing layoffs if they haven't already. I'm still trying to figure out why a liberal media feels it is in their best interest to re-elect a moron and total failure of a President.
----
1) They get power. They show everybody that they can make or break whoever they want. everyone needes to bow down to Andrea Mitchell.
2) They prove that they are above the common herd. Sure, some knuckledragger might not understand the legitimate rage that a member of the religion of peace feels by being disrspected but they do. They know more and are more moral than us worker bees. See Andrea Mitchell.
3) They swim in a sea of liberal garbage and cannot imagine clean water. From the classroom to the newsroom they are presented with only one side of the equation and have no interest in the other. Consider Andrea Mitchell
4) If Romney is elected he will re-institute slavery and stone to death women who want abortions. Just ask Andrea Mitchell.

I honestly believe the tactic of this administration is to bombard the electorate with sooooo much shit (that taken alone is enough for impeachment) and it creates a spinning effect and the average joe throws up their hands and walks away disgusted.
You'd be right. When I was out for a couple of days with a computer virus, I watched a lot of Fox News to try and keep up. I really thought I was up to speed until I got back online.
What a shock it was to get back on and see just how much I'd missed.

That's so funny. There will not be three presidential debates. He'll get out of at least one, guaranteed. Remember that the schedule was the same for Carter/Reagan and Carter only did the last one (the "there you go again" debate).
I actually thought he'd skip the first on domestic policy (read: the economy) and go to the townhall and to the one on foreign policy, but he doesn't want foreign policy either.
Look for a "national emergency". He may just skip it, citing issues with the rules.
Frankly, I think they'll all be a huge joke. The media, including these uber-biased moderators are willing to kill whatever reputation they have left in order to try to elect Obama. They won't be subtle.
I cannot believe that Romney won't come prepared with an opening statement raising every single gaffe and lie the President has told and forcing him to answer for them.
I do believe he'll do a decent to good job, but let's look at what happened over the past couple of days: Obama's had gaffes on Egypt being an ally, not knowing the debt was $16trillion (As you mentioned. We all know that was a lie, but I don't want to give him credit for the lie.) and a few other small ones I can't recall.
But they weren't gaffes because the MSM didn't call them gaffes. At the same time, if Romney doesn't have a memorable line a la Reagan, he'll be said to have "lost" the debate or "not done what he had to" and people are really into buying spin these days.
Given the media blackout on Obama's gaffes they may come as news to much of the public -- which is a GOOD thing because the discourse will shift to them.
If Romney has a good line, they will have to do it, but it has to be soundbyte-worthy.

Sadly President "Smart Lawyer" will point out that he said he "didn't know the exact figure." So he didn't techinically lie I suppose. (Note the careful crafting of the words.) I'm not defending him, I'm just pointing out the spin that the Media will put on it.
Frankly though were I Romney I'd hammer him on that: "You're so busy trying to hide your record you'll use complicated language to not answer questions. Tell me Mr. President, how is that any better than lying to the public?"

No coverup... but this does go to basic competence...
They are SO concerned with looking like they are in charge, that THEY go off half cocked... so concerned with looking competent that they MUST act like they know whats going on.... when they have no clue...
Fact... our general intelligence reliability worldwide has DECREASED since Patreus took over CIA, and Paneta took over Defense. This is what happens when you put a Political spy in charge of the Military, and a Soldier in charge of spies....
But this is typical of the Obama administration... where staffing has NOTHING to do with whether they can do the job well, but is all about Politics.

Yes, FB, that's what you want to do.

Indeed, I suspect they'll search for alternative social networking options.

Okay, here's a question for y'all. Head over to Drudge and look at the picture he's got there of Holder sitting under the seal for the "Arab Forum for Asset Recovery." BTW, I like that Holder even attended such a thing, but whatever. My point is, the seal includes some Arabic writing in the center (with the gavel) that's positioned square above Holder's head.
Look at that picture for a minute. Maybe squint a little.
Am I alone in thinking that the Arabic script resembles a pair of testicles hovering over Holder's head in preparation for an epic teabagging?

3 debates of Romney vs Obama and the Moderator
Moderator Jim Lehrer of PBS. The candidates "are expected to spend half their first debate talking about the U.S. economy, the moderator said. The second half of the 90-minute debate Oct. 3 is expected to focus on "health care, the role of government, and governing," said Lehrer.
The economy gets one-half of one debate? Not cool, bro. And why healthcare AND the role of government? Why not just "the role of government"? I know health care is a growing part of goverment, but that's part of the "role of government" debate. Carving it out is pro-Dem.

"The average Muslim, going about her daily life, is cracking under fatigue from repeated instances of such traumas and the subsequent disruption in normal life. The sense of victim-hood gets hammered into the collective psyche with every episode. It is as if a billion souls have been turned into these marionettes, the traditional dolls that are held straight up and made to perform intended moves by playing the strings. The strings are managed by the controller, appropriately called the “manipulator”. It has never happened in human history that so few, with no talent, skill or good sense to speak of, can manipulate the lives of billions with their feckless actions."

Of course, there's always The Wizard of Oz, "PAy no attention to that man behind the curtain!"
Most recently, I keep seeing a commercial for a movie called "The Master", where I guy (who I think is talking to the master) screams at the end "Just tell me something that's TRUE!!!" I think it's about a cult, so maybe this latest one sums it up the best.

Libs can only make sense of the world when they think of people who don't agree with them as brain damaged. Reality, however, always wins.
Which is why Biden will always be an idiot.

Actually, "optics" is an overused term that just means "what it looks like, if you don't look at it too carefully." It usually does not apply to a visual scene - it's literally not meant literally. [Heh. See what I did there?]

The thing to remember here is that it is all irrelevant.
It doesn't matter if there was a mob there or not. Protesters don't have RPGs.
Even if there were protestors RPGs, in this sort of fantasy world they suggest, then you have to ask why security was so minimal that even a few protesters were able to get to our ambassador and kill him.
This is one of the most dangerous places in the world, and Hillary decided that a low profile was a good idea. It's a complete indictment of their "Obama has declared that he, the Messiah himself, is willing to LISTEN to them, and so therefore, they shall be glad and honor us." If that sounds a bit snarky, the scary part is that it's really pretty much how they look at it.

This is a mixed bag. I'm trying to adjust for it, but some polls show Romney leading with Ind while others show him trailing (like Fox which shows Ind favor Obama by 10 points).
I wish I could find something definitive that gives a sense of where the Inds really are. Best I can do right now is assume even, unless a poll looks at it specifically.

I've been asking this for awhile:
( AP) — Nearly 6 million Americans — significantly more than first estimated— will face a tax penalty under President Barack Obama's health overhaul for not getting insurance, congressional analysts said Wednesday. Most would be in the middle class.
ay. Most would be in the middle class.
Why hasn't Romney been talking about this? I know this particular report just came out, but we've known that the tax is coming, but....silence.

Yes, it's interesting that nobody talks about the 2 SEALs as though they were part of the security there. And they shouldn't. SEALs do jobs for the CIA all the time, and certainly a consulate could be involved with that. Whether SEAL or ex-SEAL, they would have been there because of their involvement in intelligence.
I suppose they might have been able to help out with defense of the consulate, if they were armed, but that wouldn't be what they were there for, and they would have been too outgunned and outnumbered, obviously.

example: I am a recent college graduate, what are you going to do to help me pay my college loans and get a job?
When Romney and Ryan had their Town Hall meeting here in NH at St. Anselm's back in August, one of the young women in the audience asked essentially this question. She was a Romney supporter, but she said, "I know i'm going to have a lot of debt, as are a lot of my fellow college students. What if anything do you plan to do to help us?"
R&R's combined response was:
1) Stimulate the economy so that new graduates can find jobs that will allow them to pay their loan debt; and
2) Do whatever is possible to combat the unsustainable, meteoric rise in the cost of tuition; and
3) Romney said, very clearly, that he could not and would not cancel student loan debt.
So that particular question has an answer standing by.

For streaming I use Netflix and YouTube. Caveat: I do not keep up with current TV, since a) it's all crap and b) the thing or two that isn't crap is more enjoyable when you can tear through a whole season in a week.

It aint just about folks of Jewish faith. The left has totalitarian designs and will sell out any group in their "coalition" in order to achieve them. Anarchists, lefty libertarians, women, and homosexuals, along with Jews, need to wake up and realize that the Left sees Radical Islam as the Perfect theological foundation for a totalitarian new world order, in that it doesn't tolerate dissent at any level. And they are more than willing to sell out the all the aforementioned groups in order to achieve the homogeneity and control over the populace that radical Islam promises. With radical Islam, the sheep need no constant Shepherd, for the most part they will herd themselves. If that means full Burqa and sub-human status for women so be it. If that means homosexuals get executed with the Christians, Jews, and Atheists, and other undesirables who won't get with the program, so be it. They've got there omelet to make and some assembly is required.

Holy crap. That's funny.
Two pull quotes:
"Is this an upbeat human-interest story about a 'day in the life' of a bloodthirsty president who likes to kill people? Or is it more of an examination of how Obama's unusual upbringing in Hawaii helped to shape the way he would one day viciously butcher two helpless citizens in their own home?"
"Or maybe the story is just that murder is cool now," Kaplan continued. "I don't know. There are a million different angles on this one."
and...
"President Obama's letter presents us with a classic journalistic quandary," executive editor Bill Keller said. "If we print it, then we're giving him control over the kinds of stories we choose to run. It would be an acknowledgment that we somehow give the nation's commander in chief special treatment."
Added Keller, "And that's just not how the press in this country works."
