If you'd like proof concerning Benghazi, then read the proceedings or summaries of any official hearing on the matter. It's fairly well resolved and has been for a while now. But they need it to be a thing, it's not fetch.

It's not that we shouldn't care that they may have lied to the public, but more so that they do it all the time, so why care now? That's a cop-out and you know it.
Both of those events are fake scandals blown way out of proportion, and it's been explained as to why before, I'm not repeating myself when you're going to just dismiss it because it hurts your twisted world view. It has not been explained, it has been dismissed by you because it doesn't affect you directly. Again, you (and others here) gave a cop-out excuse (see a pattern?) as to why it is a "fake scandal" because it puts your horse in a bad light.
Not to mention your explanation of the 2nd one is false, there was a targeting of groups that were popping up in mass numbers, nothing more, any political *** thought up was merely conjecture and you all ate it up like the good little puppies you are. I will grant your argument that there were more conservative groups being formed than liberals, but what you expect from an impartial agency is an even distribution of audits and also courtesy and timeliness of processing applications for all parties.
And yet....

You mean the ones that the State Department outright lied to Congress, and Hillary testified under oath and still lied? And you consider that to be understandable?
I bet you anything that if a Republican lied under oath, you would be screaming bloody murder........

I thought you were above that.....
Damn, a page barely ended from that argument too....

Oh look somebody else who doesn't know what words mean.
There is no cop-out, no scandal and no "us vs them" statements, you're under the assumption that I'm taking a side, and I'm not.
You're just being a moron.
As to the IRS thing again: yes, it was made up ***, because a bunch of idiots thought they could get away with scamming tax-free organizations by popping up all at once and then wonder why they get audited. There's nothing political about being audited, and if they were doing nothing wrong then they shouldn't have a problem with it.
Here's an idea: don't try to scam the system.
edit: that isn't what I said, maybe you should go learn how to read. But I knew you were going to go with that when I said "them" but thanks for being very predictable.

Benghazi has been fully explained in numerous hearings. Just because the neocons dismiss the thorough explanation, doesn't mean it doesn't exist. Its hilarious to watch tho, it really is. I should look up when those new hearings are.

It's been fully explained? I guess that explains why one of the American security officers just wrote a book about the incident because nobody was asking questions to a guy who was actually there.

When you don't have a rebuttal, you use various excuses and approaches, as demonstrated by Pleebo and Jet.
1) The Fallacy Excuse
2) The passive-aggressive approach
3) The "attempt to ridicule" approach
4) The Definition excuse
5) The Subject-Change method
All of which have been used on this very thread too....

This right here is why Behghazi isn't a scandal:
Quote: Republicans also have criticized the Obama administration for not responding to the attacks more aggressively when they happened, though a bipartisan Senate investigation found that military resources simply weren't in position to help. Similarly, Rep. Darrell Issa, the Republican most aggressively pressing Benghazi accusations, says he has "suspicions" that Hillary Clinton gave "stand down" orders to stop military resources from deploying to Benghazi even though a Republican report to the Armed Services Committee says that no such "stand down" order was issued.
In addition, Republicans have criticized the Obama administration for not doing more to prevent the attacks, such as beefing up consular security. Yet it was the same House Republicans who initially denied the Obama administration's request for additional embassy security funding.
No more needs to be said.

I can't wait to hear all the new developments and hard-hitting questions. Why hasn't a space-time distortion been created so we can go back to the moments before the attack and warn everyone? Why didn't Obama mobilize the Justice League to swoop in and save everybody before the situation got out of hand? How can mirrors be real if our eyes aren't real? Only once we get some real answers can we begin to heal as a nation.

All this happened while Ray Rice was beating his wife ! So I think Ray Rice really knows what happened in Benghazi.

Maybe because he didn't know anything that someone higher than him knew? What "new" information did his book bring?

The "stand down" order is under question. The security officer I mentioned earlier said he received one, though he is only willing to trace it to the person who gave the order and not necessarily Hillary Clinton. Again, I don't think there was any scandal on the ground, just bad-decision making. The only scandal I see is political in nature.

Well, that's mainly used by Jet and Vic, and rarely by any of the other liberals here. So it's not really a global thing tbh.

You completely miss the point. I don't agree with some other Republicans about making the actual event into a scandal, just the coverup designed to protect the butts of liberal leaders going into an election.

Random Politics & Religion is for topics that aren't thread worthy on their own and do not have their own existing thread.
Rules and Guidelines
Forum Rules and P&R Section Guidelines still apply.
Satire is tolerated.
If your topic covers a story over 6 months old (Watergate, Benghazi, 2012 Election, etc.) post it here.
Discussions on racism, homophobia, transphobia, and the like are allowed, targeted insults based on these will not be tolerated.
Political debates get heated and are meant to be intense, if you take offense to being called or proven wrong, you don't belong here.
If you can't take the heat, get out of the kitchen; if you prove you can't handle the criticism you bring upon yourself in this thread, you may be removed from it. You are responsible for what you post.
Along those lines, heat is fine, but sustained, clearly personal hostility is not okay. The personal attack rules still apply. Attack positions, not posters. Failure to adhere to this will result in your removal from the thread.
This thread is NOT the Flame Core.
These rules are subject to change and modification where and when needed.
