It was very well stated...you could tell he was disgusted.

These other stories won't get traction because of mrs trumps speech. Oh and tonight a whole new slate of speeches to discuss tomorrow. Monday night speeches were drowned out which I think is a shame. They are more important to discuss then 24-hours of mrs trumps speech. We could have heard 6 hours of mrs trumps speech and 6 hours of this racist speeches. But alas lost opportunity forever.

thinly-veiled racism deserve more coverage.

However, you can always count on the media to avoid reporting on substance at all costs.

It is sad that folk are exploiting and extending her grief by encouraging her to hate instead of heal.

They use people like that to weep and wail while in the background they are pushing an agenda to curtail all the social programs, defund the EPA, sell the public lands, reduce taxes on the rich, militarize the police, start new wars in the ME.

They are desparate for this.

like Tapper, giving it to comey TODAY, instead of when he said the 'magic words,' according to Tapper, which were sloppy or careless, or both?

being manipped. if I'm wrong....par for the course

I thought Pence had no chence

Ambassador Stevens's family has asked that his death NOT be politicized and support Hillary 100%.

That was Patricia Smith, a vitriolic Hillary-hater. http://www.politifact.com/truth-o-meter/article/2016/jul/18/checking-patricia-smiths-claims-about-clinton-and-/

do I think she is a speaker at a Nazi rally?

station that Chris Matthews was reporting from. She looks just like she had the night before, an emotional mess, and I was wondering why she was standing there. I thought she might attack him on camera so I kept watching her rather than switching back and forth like I had been doing. Eventually she walked away. I wondered why she had come back the next day. It's obvious that she's still grief striken and the Repugs are just exploiting her grief for their cause.

and understanding the grief of losing a child... it is evident that what this mother is experiencing is primarily hatred, not grief

I am sorry for her but her vitriolic words are not justified

is that she says Clinton told her the attack was prompted by the (right-wing American evangelical, needlessly provocative) anti-muslim video that was causing riots all over the ME at the time - Egypt in particular. "the innocence of muslims", IIRC.

that's in keeping with what was reported at the time, though it wasn't confirmed. this was a time when all you had to do to start violent riots was accuse someone of burning a Koran.

then it came out that a militia leader (who's name I've forgotten, but was viewed as something of a clown in Benghazi) used the video riots as a pretext to attack the consulate. therefore, it was a "lie" by Clinton/the State Dept., instead of an honest mistake made in the confusing aftermath. as if lying isn't a legitimate tool of statecraft.

this is basically the same argument that the GOP based all the Benghazi investigations on.

that woman is letting her grief (and her politics) cloud her judgment. Engel's analysis is shouting into a gale.

He always has that sense of no nonsense clarity of a situation

One of the few remaining real journalists

under prepared Benghazi compound, not Clinton.

And Engle is very solid voice as a war correspondent.

Back then, the GOP convention was all about Obama's out of context "You didn't build that" line. The built almost every speech and presenter around it, and it didn't work.

It seems they haven't learned their lesson. Perhaps they should re-read that autopsy again.

to beef up embassy security? That wasn't a trivial thing.

...to speak at their convention (even if that wasn't in the plans). I don't want to hear about how we should take "the high road" and ignore this. People accuse the Republicans of living in the past, but Democrats have for too long been living in some fantasy world of decades ago where all you had to do is zip your lips when some ugly asinine accusations are thrown your way..because eventually everyone would see that you took the high road and so...you win! But in this day of instant superfluous information where silence is taken as acquiescence, that doesn't work. That's why Elizabeth Warren is effective at responding immediately via Twitter to Trumps ridiculous statements.

The powers that be don't listen to common sense.

response to it is sad and pathetic. She is soaking this for the attention and in so doing has made it more about her than her son.

I could never imagine the pain of losing a child so I cannot began to understand what this mother is going through.

But the GOP keeps ripping open wounds before they can heal and keep prolonging her grief. Everyone handles grief differently - some channel their grief into action to change laws, some do outreach, and some get consumed by it. I think that is what is happening to this woman and the GOP loves it.

They are milking her grief, feeding into her mistaken beliefs and prolonging any type of healing.

I met someone who was friends with one of the men who died (he was in their wedding, so really close) and she would just break down every time the news came on about Benghazi - for her it was this constant reminder of his death instead of his life, and to hear it talked about and politicized really made the grief brand new again.

Fuckers
