That is pretty much correct, dupe. Fox is your best and they need to apoogize about every 10 minutes but never do. There are some fake news on LW websites I suppose, but I don't know where.

But During The Night Of The Benghazi Attack, Fox News Itself Reported That The Video Inspired The Attack
Greta Van Susteren: "Both Attacks Were Triggered By A Movie Produced In The United States That Protesters Say Is Anti-Muslim." On the September 11, 2012 edition of Fox News' On the Record with Greta Van Susteren, Van Susteren twice repeated an Associated Press story that cited an anti-Islam video as a trigger for the Benghazi attack:

GRETA VAN SUSTEREN: This is a "FOX News Alert." An American consulate worker murdered and at least one other wounded in the American consulate in Libya, that according to the Libyan security officials. The Associated Press is now reporting the American was shot to death when gunmen stormed the U.S. consulate in Benghazi and clashed with security forces.

And there is more violence against America tonight, this time in Cairo, Egypt, thousands of protesters marching on the U.S. embassy. They climbed the embassy walls, they ripped down our American flag, they burned our flag, and then they replaced our flag at our embassy with a black Islamist flag!

According to the A.P., both attacks were triggered by a movie produced in the United States that protesters say is anti-Muslim. The AP further reports that movie was made by an anti-Muslim extremist. "On the Record" is tracking these breaking news stories and will bring you developments throughout the hour.

VAN SUSTEREN: This is a "FOX News Alert," an American State Department officer killed in Libya, Secretary of State Hillary Clinton now confirming the killing at the U.S. consulate in Benghazi. At least one other person was reportedly wounded after gunmen stormed the consulate. There are also reports of looting.

And there is even more violence tonight in Cairo, Egypt, thousands of protesters marching on the U.S. embassy. According to the Associated Press, both attacks were triggered by an anti-Muslim film produced here in the United States. [Fox News, On the Record with Greta Van Susteren, 9/11/12, via Nexis]

Fox's Bret Baier: "There Was ... Protest Over The Video At The U.S. Consulate In Benghazi." On the September 11, 2012 edition of Fox News' Special Report with Bret Baier, Baier reported that there was a "protest over the video" in Benghazi:

BAIER: There was also protest over the video at the U.S. consulate in Benghazi, Libya. Report says an armed mob set fire to that building. [Fox News, Special Report with Bret Baier, 9/11/12]

Fox's Dana Perino: "An American Citizen Died ... It Is Happening Across The Middle East Because Of A Video That Was Produced In The United States." On the September 11, 2012 edition of Fox News' Hannity, Fox host Dana Perino explained that there were many protests occurring throughout the Middle East and North Africa over the anti-Islam video, and blamed a protest over the video for the death of Americans in Benghazi:

DANA PERINO: There has been a lot of talk in the last couple weeks about hard truths. But the people in the Muslim world -- can deal with hard truths as well. They need to be communicated to in a way that they could understand. The other thing is that there were other protests that were sparked today and an American person -- an American citizen died --

DOUG SCHOEN: In Libya!

PERINO: In Libya. So it is not just happening in Egypt. It is happening across the Middle East because of a video that was produced in the United States. [Fox News, Hannity, 9/11/12]

Associated Press Report Cited By Fox Was Based On Information From The Libyan Government
AP Report Cited By Fox Got Information From Libyan Government Official, Not Clinton Or The Obama Administration. The Associated Press reported at 5:17 pm, prior to the airing of Fox's Special Report or On the Record, that a Libyan official said the U.S. diplomatic facility in Benghazi was stormed "after a protest against a video deemed insulting to Islam's prophet, Muhammad." From the AP report:

A Libyan Interior Ministry official says armed men have stormed the US consulate in east Libya's Benghazi and set it ablaze after a protest against a video deemed insulting to Islam's prophet, Muhammad, which was reportedly produced in America.

Witnesses say Tuesday's attack left much of the consulate burned. It came hours after ultraconservative Islamist demonstrators in Egypt climbed the walls of the U.S. Embassy in Cairo to protest the film.

Wanis al-Sharef, an interior ministry official in Benghazi, says the attackers stormed the consulate after firing in the air. [Associated Press, 9/11/12]

Initial Intelligence Regarding Attackers And Their Motivations Was "Piecemeal" And "Conflicting" And "Continued To Change Throughout The Week"
House Intelligence Committee: Initial Intelligence Surrounding The Attackers' Identities And Motives Was "Piecemeal" And "Conflicting." The House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence's Benghazi investigation found that in the wake of the attacks, "intelligence analysts and policymakers received a stream of piecemeal intelligence regarding the identities/affiliations and motivations of the attackers," and that "much of the early intelligence was conflicting":

After reviewing hundreds of pages of raw intelligence, as well as open source information, it was clear that between the time when the attacks occurred and when the Administration, through Ambassador Susan Rice, appeared on the Sunday talk shows, intelligence analysts and policymakers received a stream of piecemeal intelligence regarding the identities/affiliations and motivations of the attackers, as well as the level of planning and/or coordination. Much of the early intelligence was conflicting, and two years later, intelligence gaps remain.

Various witnesses and senior military officials serving in the Obama Administration testified to this Committee, the House Armed Services Committee, and the Senate Armed Services Committee that they knew from the moment the attacks began that the attacks were deliberate terrorist acts against U.S. interests. 125 No witness has reported believing at any point that the attacks were anything but terrorist acts.

Along those lines, in the Rose Garden on September 12, 2012, President Obama said that four "extraordinary Americans were killed in an attack on our diplomatic post in Benghazi," and said that: "[n]o acts of terror will ever shake the resolve of this great nation, alter that character, or eclipse the light of the values that we stand for."

However, it was not clear whether the terrorist attacks were committed by al-Qa'ida or by various groups of other bad actors, some of who may have been affiliated with al-Qa'ida. Early CIA, NCTC, DIA, and CJCS intelligence assessments on September 12th and 13th stated that members of AAS and various al-Qa'ida affiliates "likely," "probably," or "possibl[y]" participated in the attacks. [House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence, 11/21/14]

You lonely and needing attention?
You are the only person in America who still thinks it was a "video".

Of course it was, superdupe. There were 20+ other attacks/protests against the video at the time, all in reaction to calls from the fundie Rush Limbaugh of Cairo. You are totally duped. Poor America. Can you read? lol. Or can you only listen to Sean and Rush? Everything I've posted is backed up by respected media and fact checkers. Poor America...

Poor franco. I read Hillary's email to Chelsea.
I read Carter Ham's testimony before the House Committee. I know what happened, I know why it happened, everyone but you true believers are willing to know the truth.

So what does the e-mail prove, dimwit dupe? Can't be the video triggered it AND be terror? IDIOT!

Rule #2- There is no such thing as a "good" Rightwing source

Just ask him

That is pretty much correct, dupe. Fox is your best and they need to apoogize about every 10 minutes but never do. There are some fake news on LW websites I suppose, but I don't know where. The NYT has apologized a couple times, for repeating RW BS, dupe. Your party is a world wide laughingstock and disgrace, dupe. Luckily, Trump may not be so misinformed. He's already dumped the dupes on several fronts (Lock her up BS, GW BS) and the courts have stopped him on others.

Breaking for chumps: It probably (can't be proved) WAS the video, Hillary lies and corruption are crap propaganda, Obama had 3 weeks of control-all used on ACA, Obama policies have nothing to do with continuing Reaganist ruin of the nonrich (YOU!!!) and the country, the wal is useless and won't happen, Pubs have blocked EVERYTHING since 2/4/2010- don't be duped...again. Stimulus worked-ran out in 2010.
Total Pub Propaganda BS: ACORN, Kenyan Muslim Marxist,Tides, Mosque, Death Panel, lose your doctor, huge costs, DEBT CRISIS, Obama Recession, stimulus failed, Barney Frank, Nazi Soros, Nazi socialists, Volt suqs, Iran making bomb etc etc.
I'm sorry- dupes are lovely people- but I can't take their lazy, ignorant, careless, stupid politics a minute longer. Sorry

Meaning you don't live in the real world, I got it. I actually feel rather bad for you.

Try reading it! Dupes!! Any argument? ALL FACT, dupe.

I am starting to believe you are a bit touched. You live in an alternate reality where you think you can control the facts, control the narrative and simply dismiss everything you don't like. That is a sure sign of mental issues my friend.

Any actual argument at ALL? The e-mail proves the attack was terror and thus can't be triggered by the video like all the other protests/attacks in the ME earlier in the ME? IDIOT!!

“You’re awake by the way. You’re not having a terrible, terrible dream. Also, you’re not dead and you haven’t gone to hell. This is your life now. This is our election now. This is us. This is our country.” – Rachel Maddow’s reaction to Trump becoming President

When Barack Obama was elected, conservatives didn’t cry like the liberals you see in this HILARIOUS VIDEO. We didn’t need therapy. We didn’t start wailing that he was Hitler or demand safe spaces. Instead, we said, “That sucks. This guy is going to be terrible for the country.” By the way, we were right. He was. But still, we got up and we went to work. Then when the time came, we went to Tea Parties. We obeyed the law at those Tea Parties. We paid for our permits. We were polite to the police. We cleaned up behind ourselves. Then we organized and we took control of the House and the Senate along with the majority of state legislatures and governorships. That’s how it’s supposed to work.

What we didn’t do was put on masks and riot in D.C. because we didn’t like the candidate who was elected. What we didn’t do was tear up Berkeley because we were upset that a pro-Trump gay guy was invited to give a speech. We didn’t smash any windows at Starbucks. We didn’t squirt pepper spray in people’s faces because they wore hats we didn’t like. If we had done that, Townhall and Right Wing News wouldn’t have written columns talking up the riots like the UC Berkeley student paper did. The rationale was that having people say things students don’t like on their campus is the same as committing violence against them and therefore, their violent outbursts represented “self-defense” against fascism…or something. It’s a little hard to follow the reasoning of crazy people sometimes, but as Phil Massey said, “They're trying to fight imagined fascism with actual fascism.”

Donald Trump Has Caused The Left to Lose Its Mind

----------------------------------------------------------------------------

History may tell us THIS was his greatest accomplishment.

Trump upset the applecart but it was full of bad apples rotten to the core. Trump righted the applecart and is filling it up with good apples. Trump's greatest accomplishment to date.

Anarchist punks and black thugs in Berkeley and DC, dupes....not Dems duhhhh.

They sure weren't Republicans. I'm going with democrats.

 

[hadit]

Bernie Sanders was a joke .....he never had a chance ... the system was rigged against him.

Oh bs. That crap from Putin e-mails meant NOTHING. Ask Bernie, dupe.

Didn't mention a word about Putin, did I?

But, I will be glad to talk about super delegates, if you'd like. The fix was in.

Sanders was allowed to play only because they thought he would bring millennials to the Dem side ... guess how well that worked !!!

Putin was the guy sending all those e-mails from the DNC to our media every day. Unfortunately, there is no evidence of them DOING anything, just bs-ing. Not crazy about super deegates, as I voted for Bernie in NY, but those were their rules. All would have worked fine without Comey's bs letter to congress 11 days before the election...(and Hillary is corrupt was also bs fake news-25 years of it, and Putin e-mails and pundits bs-ing for a year and a half).

Nonsense. Sanders couldn't win - that's why Clinton focused the primaries on Republicans, and not Sanders.

We conveniently forget that all those emails Putin released were, simply, the TRUTH. It DOES have a way of coming back to bite you in the ass, doesn't it?

Comey? Seriously? How many Democrats do you suppose switched over to Trump as a result of the criminal investigation?

She never said a WORD against Sanders, and what DNC staffers BSed about means NOTHING, dupe- That didn't stop all pundits from ALSO making mountains out of nothing. Our media is gotcha pathetic. Still, Hillary was up 10 til Comey started it up again with 11 days to go- against all protocol. Now 4% of that was Trump voters lying or ignoring pollsters, but that did it, DUH dupe.

Wow, if we didn't know better, we'd think that you were bitter Hillary lost after running a truly awful campaign, LOL.

Of course it was, superdupe. There were 20+ other attacks/protests against the video at the time, all in reaction to calls from the fundie Rush Limbaugh of Cairo. You are totally duped. Poor America. Can you read? lol. Or can you only listen to Sean and Rush? Everything I've posted is backed up by respected media and fact checkers. Poor America...

Poor franco. I read Hillary's email to Chelsea.
I read Carter Ham's testimony before the House Committee. I know what happened, I know why it happened, everyone but you true believers are willing to know the truth.

So what does the e-mail prove, dimwit dupe? Can't be the video triggered it AND be terror? IDIOT!

Which of course makes the OA's attempts to blame it SOLELY on the video and that it had NOTHING to do with an orchestrated, planned attack "coincidentally" on the anniversary of the single greatest attack on America in the modern era, and "coincidentally" during a presidential election in which Obama was crowing that he had AQ on the run that much worse. It was pure political theater, and you bought it, hook line and sinker. So much so that you're STILL trying feebly to carry it on.

By coincidence ...published today.

(CNSNews.com) -- State Department documents released through a Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) lawsuit filed by the government watchdog Judicial Watch reveal, contrary to Obama administration claims, the State Department knew as early as Sept. 12, 2012 that the Sept. 11, 2012 attack on the U.S. compound in Benghazi, Libya was a "direct breaching attack." It was not sparked "under the cover of a protest" or in response to an anti-Islamic YouTube video.

Commenting on one specific document, a Sept. 12, 2012 email summary of a conversation between then-Undersecretary of State for Management Patrick Kennedy with congressional staffers, Judicial Watch President Tom Fitton said, “This document removes any further doubt that the State Department and the Obama administration knew immediately after the assault on Benghazi that it was a well-orchestrated terrorist attack and not a ‘spontaneous demonstration’ over a ‘hateful video,’ as the Obama administration repeatedly claimed."

“These documents show that the Benghazi scandal is not over … not by a long shot," said Fitton.

President Obama, Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, White House spokesman Jay Carney, and U.S. Ambassador to the U.N. Susan Rice claimed numerous times that the Benghazi attack was caused by a YouTube video. Clinton even stated this to the parents of Americans who had died in Benghazi at the victims' coffin ceremony.

The Sept. 12, 2012 document uncovered by Judicial Watch is an email from Julie K. Bulgrin, the State Department Bureau of Legislative Affairs director for Global and Functional Affairs, to several State Department officials. The email is a summary/transcript of a conversation that then-Undersecretary Patrick Kennedy had with people on Capitol Hill. It is tagged, "Subject: Write up of U/S Kennedy Call with Hill re Libya."

Part of it reads, "The call ended up starting around 6:30. Here are the raw notes.

"Rob Carter -- was this an attack under the cover of a protest?

"No, this was a direct breaching attack.

"Do we have any ideas of who launched? Leads?

"Some claims from someone who has never made threat before, but everyone is looking at this closely.

"Do we believe coordinated with Cairo?

"Attack in Cairo was a demonstration. There were no weapons shown or used [in Cairo]. A few cans of spray paint."
