— Ace You may not recognize the name.
There's a reason for that. That was the plan.
Quite simply, Cindy Sheehan — slamming the “illegal and immoral” war for “oil” and comparing Bush to Hitler — was Christmas morning, every morning, for the Left.Pat Smith, on the other hand, seeks answers surrounding the Benghazi attack. She is therefore no Christmas present – rather, she is an inconvenience that must be brushed under the rug. Unlike Sheehan, who was used as a pawn to further the Left’s narrative, Smith’s quest presents a danger to the Obama Administration’s record and image.
Make no mistake: had Benghazi occurred under a Republican administration, the media would fawn over Smith with even greater adoration than that bestowed upon Sheehan. No network, no microphone, and no camera would be closed to her. But, as Benghazi is a horrific failure on the part of President Obama and then-Secretary of State Clinton, the media has gladly employed its role as guardian of the administration (who needs the Praetorian Guard of yesteryear when we have MSNBC?), ignoring the story, ignoring Smith, even ignoring its own instinctive draw and duty to explore a story where, in stark contrast to SheehanÂ’s, enormous mysteries and questions loom.

You claim the media still possess the instinct to go after a story? An urge first manifest that must be suppressed upon the discovery of political impact? I submit you are mistaken. When something comes along that sounds like news, I think there FIRST instinct is to view it through the prism of their politics. Which tells them, stories that make Obama look bad, or Conservatives look good just aren't news. Then decide whether or not to go after it. The media reporters visceral urge to get to the truth is dead if it ever really existed at all.

And by the way, if I'm not mistaken, it was the Hillary campaign who raised both issues. Don't think they won't do the same - and much worse - to the GOP nominee in 2016.
These people fight in the mud and scum. Does anyone in the GOP have the balls to fight back?

They are aching for the truth to be told and are beginning to understand where the block is and why.
Once the regular guy on the street sees what is happening, there will be a reaction. What that will be and how soon is anybody's guess.
It will not be pleasant for those in the forefront of the State Media and those politicians who have played along with the coverup.
TV/Cable is already feeling the effects of bad programming, increased advertising and prices and the lack of trust of those outlets that use that media.
This is like a rubber band and once it reaches the end of it's stretchability, the reaction will be swift, sharp and painful.
They WILL pay.

Anonymous is (are?) anarchists (communist type). That makes them a wildcard but generally more sympathetic to Obama than to Conservatives and wouldn't do anything that might tip the balance toward us.

Maybe if conservative community organizing payed half as well as liberal community organizing someone with some chops could get into the business and not worry about starving his (her) family. But then, our virtue says we must privately fund while the lefties get to dip into our pockets for money to fund their political schemes.
Otherwise you get folks too old to get things done, and people too busy with their big four letter J O B to do the second J O B right.

Is there any GOP candidate who has the kind of iron balls Margaret Thatcher did?
There's no political correctness in that statement, no moderation. She even made the obvious link - that socialism and the Communist policies of Eastern Europe were one and the same.
In America, The Thought Police would have their sirens wailing. And sadly, many of those police call themselves Republicans.

I wonder if they are talking but they will not be published because media outlets are embargoing the story. Any outlet that does not embargo the story will be prosecuted by the fed for revealing classified info.

Didn't McLame say a few weeks or a month ago that he wanted to talk with the survivors? He must have been denied and dropped it. They all suck, the media, the JEF, Hillary, most of Congress & Senate.
Pols lie, the press was intended to tell us the truth.
Fox had Catherine Herridge reporting on it at the beginning.
I have kept television off since election unless I am watching something. I don't have Fox on at all now. They were all for Romney at the beginning or the primary, thanks to Rove.

Perhaps Ann Coulter should be on the list of the "right o sphere" who take our money and advance nothing but their own interests in return.
Perhaps she and Rove should join the perv Dick Morris, the Project Orca consultants, Peggy Noonan, and the asshole Steve Smith on an island deprived of all media coverage and conservative dollars for the rest of their days

I'm starting to not like her as well. Not so much because she supported Christie and Romney, but because she treated the rest of us who didn't (citing our reasons that we didn't think he could win) like F*king rubes and insult us at every corner. Then her boys go on to bungle in epic style and saddle us with another 4 years. And she's still got the gall to poke at US.

So is this all about covering up the motive for a decision that put the election ahead of saving American lives and vigilance in the face of continuing Islamist terrorism?
The incident is still pushed under the rug to avoid the public backlash that would occur if the facts were known. Even worse, the Benghazi killers have never been brought to justice.
The issue needs to be laid on the table for all to see. If the Obama administration is not forthcoming with answers to the questions Congress has asked, subpoenas should be issued to compel testimony. And if there are contradictions found in previous testimony, then charges of perjury should be pursued.
This case is worse than Watergate. No one died as a result of those high level political shenanigans. This cover-up and stonewalling is about the terrorist murder of American heroes. The American public has a right to know the facts.
• Rep. Rohrbacher is chairman of the House Foreign Affairs Subcommittee on Europe, Eurasia and Emerging Threats.

Ace, a picture says a thousand words.
Great cartoon on this shows Sheehan with every single microphone in front of her face, CBS, ABC, FOX, NBC, MSNBC, CNN, etc.
It juxtaposes with Pat Smith, which just has the Fox News microphone in front of her. Perfect.
