OMG! This is PRICELESS. **I PROMISE** You are gonna LOVE this. Response to Libya Attack on Real Time

Real Time With Bill Maher Panel Response To Libya Attacks
STARTS AT 2:25 ON THE VIDEO

http://www.mediaite.com/tv/maher-schweitzer-and-ben-affleck-clash-with-rep-darrell-issa-over-obama-admin-response-to-libya-attacks/

Darrell Issa says: "... too busy to read the materials they get that tell them where the danger spots are."

To which Ben Affleck strikes back with: "Like, 'Bin Ladin determined to attack U.S..' -- that kind of thing?" Watch the whole thing. Later on he gets destroyed about Iraq. PRICELESS

the banking bubble, "bin Laden determined to attack..." etc.

This should be called out. Make Mitt own the Republican brand: "You guys drunkenly drove the economy into the ditch and now you want to drive the tow truck ?"

...look at the expression on his face--when something as simple as the truth is spoken. He practically comes unglued.

These sociopaths are so used to unfettered and unaccountable serial lying.

I really don't know how Obama can stand it. Michelle must be an incredible support for him. He is literally dealing with the most darkest of human beings EVER to grace this planet. People don't want to hear that, but it is true. They are very sick, inhumane and they have absolutely no conscience. They have a serial-killer mentality, but unfortunately for our country--they've also got power.

It's really a nightmare.

9. There is a line in Affleck's film, "Argo"

that is very applicable when hearing Issa speak:

"Argo f--k yourself."

A truly terrific movie, btw, IMHO.

And Affleck's put-down of this douche-nozzle, by referring to Bush (and, by inference, his acolyte, Issa) and his unforgivable failure to read the materials that told him Bin Laden was going to attack us: priceless.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Terrorist_attacks_on_U.S._diplomatic_facilities

that killed 60 people

Where was the Republican outrage of the Administration after those events?

The Sept 11, 2012 attack was only the 2nd such attack under the Obama administration working with a diplomatic security budget the GOP voted to cut significantly.

We've got the truth and the facts on our side.

These reptilian Republicans have nothing but lies, darkness and their disgusting need to destroy this nation.

You can see what a weak, cowardly punk he is. He's a bully--all puffed up and glossy when he's in control of a hearing--or on Fox News spewing lies with no one questioning his absurdity.

When people call out these sociopaths with the truth--they look so foolish and it shows on their own faces.

I hope Obama can do this on Tuesday.

We have the truth on our side. Republicans like Issa are politicizing this event--and capitalizing on the quiet period during the investigation--and filling it with ridiculous lies and cartoon-like conspiracy theories. These people are ridiculous.

The only criticism I have--is that no one on that panel made the point--that NO SECURITY was ever requested for Benghazi. Security was requested for Tripoli.

...he was also the one who orchestrated the recall election of Gray Davis in hopes he could become Governor, then decided not to run.

He is a nasty, dangerous, destructive person.

I wish California would wake the hell up and kick him out.

The same Paul Ryan who first blamed his staff for his request for stimulus funds?

The same Romney who says one thing and then has his campaign backtrack it, and claims that he isn't responsible for things like his party's platform, their support for Todd Akin, or any of the things that come out of his mouth?

Outrageous.
