After a weekend of hell on the Eastern Seaboard, with potentially dozens of people killed, entire neighborhoods burning, billions in property damage, NYC underwater, a Presidential candidate staging bogus canned food drives, what is STILL on the Tea Bagger front pages after three or four days now? Benghazi, with the tell-tale quote which should be a red-flag to any intelligent, thinking American...
"Retired Army Lt. Col. Tony Shaffer said Saturday [font color=red]he has sources saying[/font] President Barack Obama was in the room at the White House watching the assault on the U.S. Consulate in Benghazi, Libya unfold."
Note, NO SOURCES ARE GIVEN. This guy isn't a staffer or a general or anyone with any WH connection or established cred in matters of this level of international importance...he's a retired Lt. Col of no known (or at least, provided) background. Yet he is the sole source for stirring up the Tea Baggers devoted to one single well-known GOP network, about a story their "grass-roots" billionaire funders hoped would be the campaign-saving October Surprise for Mittens. And they're all willing to literally hang the President of The United States for it. For a Fox News story with NO VETTING, NO LEGITIMATE SOURCES.
This is what is on their front page while millions of Americans are sleeping in the cold, or stranded in attics, or shoveling out the remnants of their homes...due to fake climate change.
These aren't real people. Something is seriously wrong with them.

It's nothing new. But we can educate and eventually eliminate it.

(576 posts)This is an attempt to use a know name in the intelligence community to create uncertainty with Obama. No way this story is true and I seriously doubt Shaffer would make such a claim. Shaffer is the hero who identified the 9/11 terrorists before the attack and let Bush and the intelligence apparatus know about it. He was very critical of the Bush admin for ignoring his findings AND not pursuing the perpetrators. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Able_Danger
I've met Tony Shaffer, I know Tony Shaffer, I went to college with Tony Shaffer......He didnt make these claims.

Seriously, I have Tea Baggers in my family.
