I have a friend who is on the far fringes of wingnuttery, which I mostly let slide because his severe paranoia is 99% PTSD (from 2 tours with the Marines in a very bad part of the Vietnam War) and 1% having grown up in Berwyn, IL. My all-time favorite exchange with him had to do with a manuscript I was helping him with, and was prompted by a) me fixing some punctuation and grammar; and b) him knowing I'm a liberal.
Him: You've been putting secret leftwing messages into my manuscript.
Me (mystified): Show me where those bits are and I'll take them out.
Him: I can't! They're secret, so I don't know where they are.
As the philosopher said: If I hadn't believed it with my own mind, I never would have seen it.
Partly because I always blame Nixon, but mostly because the right wing learned one and only one lesson from Watergate: That if you keep yammering one word over and over and over, apparently it eventually leads to a Congressional investigation, and then the president (innocent though he is) resigns.
So though they know there's no basis for their Benghazi claims, they also know it doesn't matter a whit.
Sadly, it almost worked with both Bill Clinton and Obamacare. This is how losers fight a rearguard action as they go down to defeat.
“Guys were coming into the compound, moving left, moving right…" Do the Hockey-Pokey. And that's what it's all about.
Joe Wilson says "You Issa"! Has a nice ring to it.
But, does it <i>blend</i>?
I find this English language so confusing. Oversight = overlooking? Or did I get that wrong again?
benghazi is the house of atreus.
The derp is strong in this one.
<blockquote>When you put that volume of information, I think that proves that that story&rsquo;s just not accurate.</blockquote>
Um. So, is the House Intelligence Committee getting too much information, or not enough?
If I can&#039;t trust what Issa says about burning down the mission, whom can I trust?

Just what this country needs, more Congressional oversight.
Totally worth it, though.
Show us the birth certificate and everything will be fine.
Poser!
&quot;Son, Obamacare was shoved down your throat and you didn&#039;t even know it!&quot;

Just what did the Arkansas state troopers say?
