Here's Something To Consider Billsmile Oct 2012 #77
Terrorists, or people claiming to be terrorists, take credit for everything bad that happens. JDPriestly Oct 2012 #57
So, the President and SOS should have run to microphones and spewed this? sinkingfeeling Oct 2012 #13
I agree. but joeglow3 Oct 2012 #21
Nonsense. 'Blatant failure' of what? sinkingfeeling Oct 2012 #40
Pushing a story they had ZERO reason to push joeglow3 Oct 2012 #51
Again, nonsense. Nobody in the Administration 'pushed' a story about the film. sinkingfeeling Oct 2012 #67
Really? joeglow3 Oct 2012 #71
Where in this transcript does the President say that the attack in Libya was the sinkingfeeling Oct 2012 #72
Ridiculous. Please see my posts. JDPriestly Oct 2012 #61

They have fallen far indeed, my friend. n/t reflection Oct 2012 #30
What was CNN wrong about in their reporting? n/t sharkman25 Oct 2012 #36
It's a non-story. No new info, just calculated spin. Misleading. Propaganda. leveymg Oct 2012 #42
That's non responsive to the question and does not defend your intital statement. sharkman25 Oct 2012 #43
You've never heard of factual but misleading reporting before? leveymg Oct 2012 #48
Okay, I get your perspective now, even with the unnecessary ad-hominem. eom sharkman25 Oct 2012 #53
