Not Even a Nice Try
For those who may have missed it: the State Department is now denying they ever blamed the Benghazi consulate attack on “Innocence of Muslims.” They now flatly claim,”That was not our conclusion.”
Well you sure could have fooled me. I could have sworn I’d seen statements from officials of the current Administration blaming the “demonstrations” on an “inflammatory film”. I guess I must have been daydreaming.
The phrase “don’t piss on my leg and tell me it’s raining” keeps coming to mind. But maybe that’s just me.

Sic Judge Judy on em’!!!!!!!!!
Yeah, it’s a scream. What their doing is parsing sentences. Their current position is that they never “concluded” that the video prompted the attack even though any reasonable non-diplomat hearing their initial and subsequent releases would conclude that the Dept of State saw a cause and effect relationship between the video that no one has ever seen and the attacks. The old saw about a diplomat being an honest person who is paid to lie for his country used to apply only to the diplomat’s statements to the diplomats of another nation, not the citizens of his or her own!
Hondo, I asked Jonn and I’m asking you, if you are going to make jokes, please post a spew alert. PLEASE!!!
What? It’s for real!
Oh, dear God.
Has anyone ever thought out loud about how mental these people are sounding?
@Ex-
You say “mental”. I’m thinking “desperate”. Maybe “mentally desperate”…or “desperately mental”.
Either way, I see it as an admission by the Obama camp that they’re realizing they probably won’t have the 1600 Penn Ave address much longer.
I think they are just counting on the MSM shielding this administration for this crap.
@Nik — how about just plain old mentally ill?
It is my considered opinion that everyone who went to for COMMIsar obammy was required to get a lobotomy before they were allowed into 1600. In all honestly, I no longer read the propaganda spewed by this admenstration, I let Fox News wade threw the BS then wait for their synopsis.
So that whole speech Obumbles gave to the General Assembly at the UN a couple of weeks back was just a hallucination of mine?
Who the fuck knew?
Been a LOT of hulucinating goin’ on ’round here lately. Just because we saw and heard it doesn’t make it so at all. If you don’t believe that, just ask ’em.
Who do you think you are, thinking that you can think, anyway? It is the way that it is only when we say that is the way that it is. If it is.
Of course, the facts could change later in the week.
Sparky, unless you DVR’d it, the dems, and the media(but I repeat myself) will deny that he said it. They’ll deny that Rice said what she said, they’ll deny that Hillary said what she said.
Wow.
I’m SO confused.
Senior State Dept spokesman Tommy Flanagle said today,”Uhhh, we never even MENTIONED the video… yeah THAT’s the ticket”
