The Republicans and their mouthpiece Fox News have been waiting for
months to get their chance to question outgoing Secretary of State Hillary
Clinton on the attack on the Benghazi, Libya listening post (it was not a
consulate or the embassy which is in Tripoli, Libya), but when it came time to
question Clinton yesterday the Republicans were left twisting in the wind.
The Republicans were no match for Hillary Clinton who was totally
prepared to answer all their questions on why the U.S. Ambassador to Libya,
Chris Stevens, and three other Americans were killed on in Benghazi on September
11, 2012.
Hard as they tried to catch Hillary Clinton in a lie, the poor,
dumb Republicans came to the hearing with nothing but Fox News "talking points"
which, of course, were all lies.
Clinton smartly allowed the Republicans to take potshots at her,
but when freshman Republican Sen. Ron Johnson stepped over the line with a snide
comment directed at her, Clinton fired back in what was the highlight of the
hearings.

Sen. Ron Johnson:
Republicans kept referring to the Benghazi, Libya "listening post"
as a consulate or the embassy which only indicated how ill-prepared they were
for the questioning of Hillary Clinton.
Several Democratic Senators including Dick Durbin from Illinois
were quick to point out 4,700 young Americans were killed in a war started under
false information by President George W. Bush and Vice President Dick
Cheney.
Durbin emphasized his point by saying tragic as it was there were
only 4 Americans killed in the Benghazi, Libya attack compared to the 4,700
Americans killed in Iraq.
Clinton listened politely as one Republican after another trotted
out Fox News "talking points" in an effort to try to paint her as not doing her
job, but Clinton just let them keep digging themselves into an even deeper
hole.
Republicans left the hearing with their tails between their legs
and many of them rushed to Fox News where they knew Bill O'Reilly, Sean Hannity
and Greta Van Sustern would allow them to continue to spin their lies about the
Bengahzi attack.
Someday Republicans may realize Fox News is not a news
organization, but instead the propaganda arm of the GOP which is in the twilight
of their ratings dominance as more and more people realize look at Fox News as a
total joke.
