Benghazi: Why Don't More Americans Care?

[Claudette]

Most Americans have never heard of Benghazi. They have no idea what happened. The media was successful in keeping the news away from the public.

Oh bullshit you wingnuts have been shouting from the roof top on this crap ,faux news tried soooo hard during the election to get this pushed as a scandal & the American people are not buying the bullshit . Mittens got his face kicked in on national tv , so yes the people know about it & they do not care.

GOP

Yeah, and if Bush were POTUS during Benghazi you'd be screaming like a stuck pig.

Benghazi was completely preventable. They had the warnings. Barry's State Department did nothing. Four very good men, one an Ambassador, died because of the Obama State Departments ineptitude.

The kicker for me was Barry jetting off to his fundraiser while HIS consulate was under attack and HIS Ambassador and three other very good men were dying. That tells me all I need to know about that fuck.

Most folks don't even know who they're Senators or Congressmen are. I doubt most could tell you anything about Benghazi because most don't watch anything and pay no attention.

You can bet your ass anyone in the Military was paying attention about Benghazi just as I was.

The willingness of the mainstream media to cover up this disaster for political purposes (and attack Romney for mentioning it) is one of the most shameful episodes in the history of American journalism.

No one covered up nothing , you wing nut , what a sad little world you live in , oh whaaaaaaaaaaa you lost . Mitt Romney what a joke

Conservatives are hoping that Benghazi will eventually
develop into a contemporary version of Watergate, a far-reaching,
multi-layered cover-up that will ultimately bring down the Obama
presidency and Hillary Clinton with it. While I share the sentiments of
my fellow conservatives, my response to this wishful thinking is
simple: good luck with that. The Watergate burglaries occurred in May
and June of 1972. Benghazi occurred in September 2012. In the years
between 1972 and 2012, America experienced enormous societal change;
some good and some not so good. The lack of public outrage over the
Benghazi tragedy is symptomatic of the not-so-good societal changes in
America since the early 1970s as well as the added fact—from the
mainstream media’s perspective—that Nixon was a Republican and Obama is a
Democrat.

On any measure of tragedy or presidential culpability, Benghazi
easily surpasses Watergate. In the final analysis, Watergate was
nothing more than a couple of third-rate burglaries that went off the
tracks. Nixon’s guilt in Watergate had more to do with the subsequent
cover-up and his coercive use of government agencies in that cover-up
than with the actual burglaries themselves. But Benghazi is different.
With Benghazi, American diplomatic personnel were brutally attacked and
murdered, American property was burned and looted, and sensitive
government documents were seized. In this tragedy, President Obama and
Hillary Clinton were and are culpable on several levels, both before and
since the tragedy.

On one level they are culpable because they knew enough about the
situation before hand to have prevented it and didn’t. On another
level, they seem to think that claiming they knew nothing somehow
exonerates them. We now know that their denials of prior knowledge are
fabrications, part of a Nixon-like cover-up However for the sake of
argument, assume for a moment that their denials are true. In my view,
the culpability of Obama and Clinton actually increases in this case.
Why? Because it was their job to know. When you are President of the
United States or Secretary of State, you are responsible for protecting
the lives of the diplomats and other personnel you send in harm’s way.
It is your sworn duty to know where you are sending them and what they
might face when they get there. Presidents and Secretaries of State do
not have the option of claiming “I did not know.” Claiming “I did not
know” is the same as admitting “I did not care enough to stay informed.”

With what we now know about the Benghazi debacle, one would expect
that public outrage would exceed the level of vitriol aimed at President
Nixon in the aftermath of Watergate. However, public outrage about
Benghazi—to the extent there is any—is tame by comparison. In reality,
we could house the few Congressman, Senators, FOX News broadcasters, and
thinking American citizens who seem to care about Benghazi in a high
school football stadium; a small one. The hard truth is that Benghazi
is not generating the public interest, much less outrage, we saw in the
aftermath of Watergate. Public apathy toward Benghazi is an even bigger
tragedy than the event itself. This being the case, one might
reasonably ask: Why don’t more Americans care about Benghazi?
The lack of media coverage about Benghazi can be attributed to the fact
that Obama is a Democrat, and not just any Democrat but the favored son
of the leftwing mainstream media. There is nothing new about this. The
mainstream media began its turn to the left in the 1960s and has not
stopped turning left yet. But the lack of public outrage is a different
issue. Beginning in the 1960s liberals, progressives, Marxists,
secular humanists, and other fellow travelers began making noticeable
progress toward achieving their goal of a compliant, easily led,
self-interested, sheep-like American populace. Now in 2013 we are
seeing the fruit of the left’s incremental but persistent effort to
transform Americans into ovine puppets who believe what they are told to
believe, cannot think for themselves, lack the intellectual curiosity
to pursue complex issues that do not affect them in an immediate and
noticeable way, and care more about Dancing with the Stars than they do
about what happens in foreign countries they—thanks to public
education—could not locate on a map.

To the typical American, Benghazi is just some far-off place they
occasionally hear discussed on the nightly news while waiting for their
favorite brain-dead sitcom to air. If it was not their father or
brother who was slaughtered by a mob of Islamist thugs, they don’t care.
If their favorite news anchor does not tell them they should care,
they don’t care. If getting interested in the Benghazi tragedy is going
to require them to think about something bigger than their own
day-to-day desires, they don’t care. If Hillary Clinton says “What
difference does it make?” they agree, because they don’t care. After
all, if the Secretary of State and President don’t care, why should
they? This is what America has become in the 237 years since our
Founders risked their lives, property, and sacred honor to build what
Ronald Reagan called that “shining city on a hill.” If our Founders
could see us now, they would weep.

It's pretty pathetic when a hack writer does not know the difference between a CRIME committed by a President (Watergate) and a NON-CRIME committed by a President (Benghazi).

These pathetic, weak-minded attempts to link Benghazi and Watergate reflect just how retarded the alleged right wing partisans have become.

I can only conclude the retard is completely unfamiliar with the Watergate scandal. He probably wasn't even alive at the time.


The American people care about Benghazi. They just don't care about the manufactured bullshit being shoveled into the open mouths of even greater retards who incessantly parrot the lies they are fed.

The American people understand it is a big, bad world out there and the bad guys are going to get lucky once in a while. The American people understand that every one of our embassies was at risk on 9/11 last year, and that we do not have a crystal ball which can tell us a backwater consulate is the one that is going to be hit. The American people understand we do not have the resources to place an Army division around every single one of our diplomatic missions.


So what CRIME is Obama guilty of, exactly? Ohhhhhhh, he told us the attack was because of a video.

That's not a CRIME, folks. At best, it is incompetence.

The hack retard partisan's attempt to make Nixon's "cover-up" the same as Obama's "cover-up" is classic equivocation.

Nixon's cover-up was a deliberate obstruction of justice. I strongly suggest you ignorant fucks who think Nixon's cover-up was the same as (and God help me, some of you actually believe it was LESS than) Obama's "cover-up" learn some fucking history. You haven't a clue about Watergate if you believe Obama is in the same league with Benghazi.

You are really exposing your puerile ignorance.

Anything so they don't have to defend this administrations abyssmal handling of Benghazi.

Benghazi happened on Barry boys watch and he sure isn't coming up smelling like roses in any way shape or form.

We noticed but we're still reeling from bushwit and you republicans crashing the economy. Benghazi. The battle cry of the losing party. How many dead and how costly compared to Iraq? If you guys would take a look at what Obama's been doing you might fall in love with him. He just appointed a Walmarter as Director of OMB. Last month a vehement anti labor billionairess as commerce secretary, (Penny Pritzker). He signed the Monsanto protection act, protecting one of your beloved international corporations from federal prosecution as regards their gmo seed line. Guaranteed he'll sign Trans Pacific Partnership deal (Nafta on steroids), and I have a bet going that Obama will OK the XL pipeline. All the above against what his base wants. All the above after Obama continuously puts social security on the bargaining table. Lots to like about this guy if you're for the very wealthy and corporations as all republican working stiffs are for some strange reason.

This is what is wrong with journalism today and articles like this. The conservatives I know and the ones I support do not hope that Benghazi turns into a boon for them politically. They simply want the truth and to make sure that the Executive (no matter what party) does not allow our people in the field to die for the sake of elections. They want answers, and frankly, the American people deserve those answers. They deserve the truth. With the media doing what they can to keep this out of sight from the American people, they will manage to keep the truth from us. That is the ultimate goal for politicians.

To have the power without accountability.
