Once Again, the Democrat Partisans of the Media Pivot Their Defense From "It's Not True and You're Crazy to Believe It's True" to "Of Course It's True, and You're Crazy to Make Such a Big Deal About It"
— Ace

We saw this script change in the case of Bill Clinton, after the revelation of the Blue Dress.

We saw this script change much more recently in the case of Obama's "If you like your insurance, you can keep your insurance lie," when the script flipped from "You're stupid and crazy to doubt Obama" to "Of course you can't keep your insurance, that's at the heart of the program's cost-control measures; you're stupid and crazy to have not realized this sooner!"

And now reliably thoughtless yabbering baboon Donnie Deutsch executes the pivot on Benghazi.

“What about the cover-up for the White House?” Scarborough interjected. “I’ve got everybody here apologizing for the White House. What about a cover-up, Donnie?”

“Why are you jumping to political strategy?” he continued. “So, tell me, what’s the politics of the White House lying about something that we all know they’re lying about?”

“You see the White House spokesperson lying on national television. You see an ABC Newsperson shocked that he’s lying and treating the press corps like they’re stupid. He says it’s not about Benghazi. Republicans and conservatives have been called fools for a year now for saying this happened. They don’t release it with the original the documents. They finally, reluctantly are forced to release it. Then you have the White House lying about it, saying it’s not about Benghazi, and you’re only reaction is, ‘Hey, Republicans better not overreact to the cover-up?’”

“We, as voters, understand both Republicans and Democrats are political animals and are going to manage a crisis to their favor,” Deutsch contested before he was interrupted.

“So, when Democrats cover something up, it’s politics,” Scarborough interjected. “When Republicans cover something up, it’s a scandal.” He closed by calling his co-hosts reaction to the White House’s behavior a “disgrace.”

So Scarborough says "we all know they're lying," and Deutsch finally -- finally -- does not dispute that, but instead chooses to recharacterize the acts of serial lying and cover-up as just some understandable political-animal crisis management.

For eighteen months the line from Obama -- and therefore the line from the White House's communications shops at ABC, CBS, NBC, and CNN -- has been that Obama was not a "political animal," and certainly not on a matter of national security.

Now that the Blue Dress Proof of the emails are released, the defense changes to "Of course, this is all obvious, how stupid are you are for dwelling on obvious things."

The Other Defense... suggested by Deutsch (and coming soon from the mouths of every other braindead hack on TV and in print) is that this is such a minor political maneuver -- you know, "Everybody Does It."

Well let's examine that. If this is a very minor transgression, as Deutsch posits, that means that Obama has lied to the entire nation and corrupted its press (to the extent such a thing is further possible) in order to cover up a very minor transgression.

One may understand when a man lies over something extremely consequential. A normal man would do that (a highly ethical man might not, but a normal man would), and would not be branded a habitual liar.

But if a man also lies about inconsequential matters --as Deutsch assures us this is -- then that man is in fact a casual liar, equally given to lying about matters large and small, not discriminating among the profound and trivial, because his preferred mode of expression -- his natural, unthinking mode of expression -- is simply to lie.

So: Is that what is is, then, Donnie?

46 By the way,     I've got a question I'd like the   Demonrats to answer:


You're telling us that this cover-up is "no big deal" and it's   just the nature of politics.     So it's a political cover-up,   not a cover-up cover-up.      I guess like how Roman Polanski ass raping a young girl    wasn't   SO bad because it wasn't really rape-rape.  Right, Whoopi?


But anyway, my question is this:   in what fucking universe is it somehow OKAY to    (using a favorite Demonrat term)  "play politics"      with the lives of four dead Americans, including an ambassador and two Navy SEALs?   WHo wakes up in th emorning and says,  "Shit, this could be a bad scandal.  I know!   We'll just say we lied because of politics!   Then everyone will love us!"   


I know that Demonrats and their leftist sycophants are soulless, heartless bastards,  but aren't they supposed to have a LITTLE intelligence?

59 This is typical of the lies of a corners criminal suspect. They always unleash a cascade of lies, each of which completely undermines and disproves the previous lie. This is how it goes in the police interrogation room: "We think you murdered that guy." "No I didn't! I couldn't have! I was in Brazil at the time." "We have you on security footage near the crime scene 5 minutes before the shooting." "Yeah, I was on my way to my girlfriend's place. We were in bed at the time of the shooting, so I have an alibi. She'll nack me up." "We just talked to her. She says you broke up a month ago and she hasn't seen you since." "Yeah, well I don't know how to fire a gun! I've never touched one!" "We have you fingerprints on the murder weapon." "It went off accidentally during a struggle!" "He was shot execution style in the back of the head." "It was self-defense! He shot me first!" "You are uninjured." "Police brutality! I asked for a lawyer an hour ago and you beat me until I made a false confession!" "This entire interview is being videotaped. None of that is true." "I take the Fifth Amendment." --- That is essentially how the progressives pivot backwards from lie to lie, each negating the previous one.

95 Let me repeat that: Barack Obama is a stuttering clusterf*ck of a malignant traitor. For nothing more than political gain, he aided and abetted terrorists (that is: Enemies of the State) by covering up their crime (or, at least, their involvement in the crime) and deliberately sabotaging the investigation into said crime. He provided "aid and comfort to the enemy." He should be impeached, indicted, and prosecuted for his treason.

Of course, I don't see anyone buying this. It was much easier to say "person X" is dumb. But to say the whole country is dumb? Of course, I hear wind that Romney 2016 has already crafted it's strategy with a "we have nothing to fear from a Elizabeth Warren president for life presidency," so maybe we are all dumb after all.

Seriously, John Boehner and his flunkies and the idiots in the Senate need to get on the same damn page in public.


And dump the consultants who tell them the exactly wrong thing to say. It works for the top donors in the GOP. But the GOP NEVER talks about pocketbook issues that actually matter and they almost never do public pressers.

Anise Parker. "The mayor's proposed ordinance, among other things, requires Houston businesses to make all women's bathrooms, showers, and locker rooms available to all who are dressed in female attire, without regard to biological sex," wrote Republican chair Jared Woodfill. "This provision subjects women and girls to sexual predators who are allegedly confused by their gender identity."

184 On a serious note -- here's one tip for Repubs. Start calling Obama and the Democrats liars. They rarely, if ever, do that. And often apologize afterwards if they do. They say Obama has: been less than truthful said things that clearly don't correspond with reality said things that a less charitable man might call a lie blah, blah, blah. They pussy foot around it. He's a liar. Call him a liar. How did Al Franken become a Senator? He wrote a book called Lies: And the Lying Liars Who Tell Them. It was all about how Republicans and conservatives are a bunch of evil, lying pieces of shit who lie all the time cause they are racist scum who hate poor people. Rocketed him to a Senate seat. So, Republicans, go on TV and say, "Obama is lying." "President Obama is a liar." Be blunt. Call them out. Don't be pussies.

I don't think Democratic politicians (and some/most Republicans) understand that this vast country, peopled with thousands of different ethnicities, tones and tints of skin color, affiliations and associations, is held together by faith, for lack of a better word. If our leaders act in bad faith, that cohesion is lost: 'Things fall apart, the center cannot hold.'

 

Question: We now know with certainty there was a coverup. Is there proof no serious rescue attempt was made and those good men died because the President and his people were focused entirely on the domestic political ramifications?

And this somehow -- for some strange reason -- was something the left not only believed to be significant, but should be complained about ad nauseum for, like, the rest of time. But when some leftard precedent does it (lies, I mean), it's so unimportant. Get over it, already! Everybody does it! I'm really sick of the obvious double standard. I'm also sick of the blatant hypocrisy which accompanies the obvious double standard. There are rules which always apply to our side and never to theirs.

How do they do that? Seriously.

Suppose (for the sake of argument) they actually wanted to do it, HOW?

1)Watch ABC Nightly News(that's the hard part)

2)Take down names of every corporation that advertises

3) Contact Corporations and threaten boycott of products unless ABC starts reporting all the news without bias.

253 Senator: Non-English Speakers Qualify for Disability Benefits More Quickly http://shar.es/SfDTk via @sharethis The inability to speak English is now considered a determining factor to receive federal disability benefits. Ranking Member of the Senate Budget Committee Jeff Sessions (R., Ala.) sent a letter obtained exclusively by the Free Beacon to Acting Commissioner of the Social Security Administration Carolyn Colvin on Thursday, raising concerns regarding revelations that individuals who cannot speak English are fast-tracked for disability approval. “I write to express my concerns about the expanding number of individuals now qualified for Social Security Disability Insurance (SSDI), and to raise a specific issue, the basis for many of these individuals’ disability classification, where the inability to speak English is a determinative factor,” Sessions said. Sessions revealed a policy for SSDI payments that allows individuals to qualify for benefits more quickly if “they are incapable of communicating in English.”

Because somewhere, somehow, the entire GOP has been told--and obeyed--not to hold anymore town halls.

No fucking town halls whatsoever.

Isn't that something?

Here we are--near over half of the country is mad as hell on a whole range of issues and the only party, that you'd think, with nothing to lose and everything to gain by giving them a platform is . . . no where to be found.

Draw your own conclusions as to why.

The charge should be Treason.

They knowingly aided the terrorists by:

Not allowing an immediate military response

Ignoring calls for help

Telling all assets in the area to stand down.

 

They provided comfort to the terrorists by:

Calling the attack a "spontaneous protest"

Not pursuing the perpetrators

Blaming a YouTube video with under 100 views

Telling the family members and the UN the same lie

 

This should be open and shut,  people should have been standing tall before the man long before now.

299 WASHINGTON - After two decades of trying to build a partnership with Russia, the NATO alliance now feels compelled to start treating Moscow as an adversary, the second-ranking official of the North Atlantic Treaty Organization said Thursday. "Clearly the Russians have declared NATO as an adversary, so we have to begin to view Russia no longer as a partner but as more of an adversary than a partner," said Alexander Vershbow, the deputy secretary-general of NATO. In a question-and-answer session with a small group of reporters, Vershbow said Russia's annexation of Crimea and its apparent manipulation of unrest in eastern Ukraine have fundamentally changed the NATO-Russia relationship.

335 @277 Yes all true. The media have been the propaganda wing of the democrat party since there has been a media and a democrat party. All that matters wouldn't matter if the GOP actual fought back against the blatant calumnies of the media/dem machine. They keep thinking that this stuff doesn't matter but it matters greatly. People to this day hold bush and the GOP responsible for the bad economy, the financial and housing meltdowns even though it was entirely democrats and democrat policies that caused it. You want to know why people blame bush and the GOP? Because the democrats spent every waking moment saying bush and the GOP were responsible and did the GOP or for that matter bush fight back? No they didn't and thats why even today you can take a poll and slim majority will even grudgingly concede maybe, maybe Obama has some culpability with regards this shitty economy.

Remember - the military hangs soldiers who fall asleep during guard duty. Also remember that the scuttlebutt at the time of Benghazi was that King Putt had done done something truly horrendous - enough so that even the other Progs were worried about it.

The truth is the Progs are about to lose control of the situation - and they know it; their one hope is that we don't know it.

I propose we take immediate and forceful action on this - the Progs are in a desperate trap and we can't let them out: now is the time to pass amnesty while they aren't expecting it.

510 For a weary, emotional and grateful Donald Buska, it was mission accomplished. The 86-year-old U.S. Navy veteran fulfilled his longtime dream of traveling to Washington, D.C., on Sunday and Monday to visit the National World War II Memorial. The once-in-a-lifetime trip with Big Sky Honor Flight of Montana afforded him opportunities he had only imagined. And, it was an honor that came just in time. On Tuesday, Buska, who had been in hospice care since Feb. 12, passed away. “He had the time of his life,” said Buska’s son, Jeff, who traveled with him to Washington, D.C. “What a way to go. He went out on a high note,” Jeff said. As the senior Buska prepared for the trip, he fretted over what to wear and what to pack. He settled on casual clothes and a pink Sony camera that belonged to his late wife. He worried about whether he even deserved to go, since he hadn’t seen combat as a sailor during World War II. And, he worried whether he was too sick to travel. Suffering from chronic obstructive pulmonary, which makes it difficult to breathe, Buska had been in the care of Rocky Mountain Hospice. Hospice caregivers assured him he was well enough to travel. Once in the nation’s capital, he snacked on a Dove Bar with his son on the National Mall, snapped photos of marble monuments with his pink Sony camera and shook hands with schoolchildren who were awe struck by their brush with living history. When two Japanese tourists asked if they could take photographs with him, he agreed on one condition: Each must give him a hug in return. The tourists paid in full. He was in his glory. On Sunday night, after a banquet dinner of chicken, mashed potatoes, gravy, green beans and cheesecake, he enjoyed his usual “night cap,” a double shot of Southern Comfort in his room. On Monday, he connected with a former poker buddy from Laurel who was also on the trip. He toured the National World War II Memorial and posed for a class photo. For the first time, he witnessed the Changing of the Guard at Arlington National Cemetery and found comfort in the calming water falls at the FDR Memorial. They reminded him of the camping trips he often took with his six children. It was an emotional stop. He was ecstatic to be aboard a van that was escorted through the District of Columbia by police, complete with flashing lights and sirens, stopping motorists in rush-hour traffic to make way for the World War II veterans. “He thought that was really cool,” Jeff said. At Dulles International Airport, all the veterans were greeted with Mail Call. Family and friends had written letters of support and encouragement to each of the veterans. Buska had one of the largest packages. One of his granddaughters, Danielle Connors, had her middle-school science class write her grandfather as part of a class project. “This is amazing,” he told his son, Jeff. “This is overwhelming.” Back in Billings, the 75 veterans aboard the flight were celebrated as heroes and cheered on by hundreds of well-wishers, including local high school pep bands, dignitaries and comrades. “He thought that welcome home was just neat,” said his son, Jeff Buska, 53, of Helena. “There were all these soldiers shaking his hand.” Less than eight hours after that homecoming, Buska died at his West End home. Buska went home after the homecoming celebration to relive the 37-hour whirlwind tour with some of his children, including his daughter, Donna, who traveled to Billings from Great Falls with her family to surprise her father. They stayed up until midnight reading each of the letters he received. Buska shared highlights of the trip with his children over his familiar night cap. “Cheers, Dad,” Jeff recalled saying. “We toasted and we told each other we loved each other,” he said, choking back tears. About 4:15 a.m. Tuesday, Jeff heard a crash. He discovered his father lying on the floor of the living room. His father was gone. “My dad went to go dance with mom,” Jeff said. Becky Hillier, media relations director of Rocky Mountain Hospice and a member of the Big Sky Honor Flight Committee, said: “A final mission was accomplished in more ways than one.” We should all go out in such style: "Fair Winds and Following Seas."

516 Actually cow covers both sexes of that animal informally. Hillbillies aren't big on reading and writing. Honestly? It's city slickers that are the dumb ones. Someone points to a bull and says, "Go milk that cow", it ain't gonna be the redneck or hillbilly that tries.

517 The cows just lie down to sleep and then their skin falls off and then their meat falls off as steaks.

Then elves come out and sort the steaks onto styrofoam trays  and shrinkwrap them.

523 Republicans love big government, including welfare, as much as they love big commerce. Because as long as money is circulating, they're wetting their beaks. Yes. It's less about left vs right, D vs R, as much as it's insiders vs outsiders. And it's true all the way up the line. If you look carefully at who is getting local contracts, you'll see there are a lot of insiders, or the occasional outsider who are represented by insiders who lobby on their behalf.

531 Re: Seattle Minimum Wage: 1. Hope all those workers enjoy going from the 10% to 15% federal tax bracket. I'm too lazy to look up the state and local tax increase that they'll enjoy as well. 2. I hope all those workers enjoy going from full time to part time as well. More time for arts! 3. I hope that the extra $2 dollars per hour (after taxes) is enough to cover the 40%+ increase in costs for product or service they buy from minimum wage workers.

539 Oh FFS.....  below is the city kids primer to cattle


Cow generally refers to adult female.
Heifer generally refers to young female.
Calf or calves refer to juvenilles of either sex.
Bulls are adult males with testicles.
Steers are males with testicles removed.
Bulls can have horns.
Steers can have horns.
Cows can have horns.
Ive seen calves born with horns.
Horns do not a bull make.... testicles do.
