Conservative group launches campaign to 'fire Boehner' over Benghazi response
By Mike Lillis - 09/14/13 12:16 PM ET
A conservative group has launched an ad campaign to "fire" House Speaker John Boehner (R-Ohio) over his response to the fatal attacks on the U.S. consulate in Benghazi a year ago.
Revive America USA, a conservative political action committee (PAC) that's fought to impeach President Obama, is urging targeted viewers to sign a petition to oust Boehner for his refusal to appoint a special committee to investigate the Benghazi tragedy.
"We need urgent action today by thousands of Americans to fire John Boehner," the ad's narrator says. "Speaker Boehner is personally blocking a special committee to expose the truth about the 911 Benghazi terror attack. It's just enough to make you sick."
The groups says it's "tested" its ad this week on Fox News, Glenn Beck's "The Blaze" program and Mark Levins radio show.
"Until Boehner is removed, the Benghazi committee will not be formed," Bob Adams, the head of the PAC, said Friday night in a statement.

I guess I should be ashamed at how funny and satisfying I find republican infighting. But I'm not.

Revive America USA, meanwhile, is using their "fire Boehner" drive as a fundraiser.
"There is no limit to what you can donate," Friday's email reminds readers. "Revive America PAC can accept unlimited individual and corporate contributions."

Just like every other losing idea these fuckers have, they'll fleece the sheep for what they can get and scoot out of there before anyone notices there's no "there" there.

I don't think they want the truth, which is "if you build embassies in war zones, they occasionally get overrun."

Maybe even the President should sing his praises of the way Boneher 'compromised' on the budget to help Americans.
