The Five - Greg Gutfeld - Media's Reaction to Boston Bombing

"You got Michael Moore, Nick Kristof, Chris Matthews and others tossing blame at everyone. My gut says when you go political early, it’s more ego — a desire to score points against people you dislike.

Joy Reid at MSNBC even used the attack to hit on George Bush, and then there is Salon’s David Sirota, who writes, quote, ‘Let’s hope the Boston Marathon bomber is a white American.’

You mean like the Occupy Wall Streeters on trial in Cincinnati? Or Bill Ayers, the nutty professor? I don’t think David meant that at all. Even though the only difference between Ayers and Boston was that Ayers’ bombs went off earlier."

RG - Mitt Romney's Benghazi Debate Strategy

My Wife and I parked ourselves in the living room with bowls of popcorn and our Diet Cokes, to watch the final Presidential debate of 2012 (10/22/2012). I have spent a great amount of time and energy on our THP Website, exposing the incompetence, Malfeasance, obfuscations and just plain lies from Barack Obama and his Administration about our Benghazi, Libya Embassy destruction and the tragic deaths of our Ambassador and three others (Christopher Stevens, Sean Smith, Glen Doherty and Tyrone Woods).

I was delighted when Moderator of the debate Bob Schieffer, opened with a question about the Benghazi tragedy. I was dismayed when Mitt Romney seemed to simply ignore the chance to bludgeon Barack Obama about Benghazi.

My dismay turned into anger towards Mitt Romney. I watched Barack Obama carefully and noticed he seemed a bit unsettled himself at Romney's avoidance of the Benghazi tragedy. At least two times during the debate, Barack Obama seemed to stick his chin out about Benghazi and taunted and dared Romney to take a swing.

Slowly but surely, it began to dawn on me that this was not avoidance on Romney's part, but rather a devised strategy. It was similar to a strategy I have used when debating Humanist/Atheists about God as Creator (I am a recovered Humanist/Atheist, with that heritage going back at least 5 generations). Knowing that the Humanist/Atheist will come loaded with details and arguments about Evolution and so on, I simply tell them up front, that I will give them that argument without debate - 'IF' they will debate with me the Origin of 'Space' (Space as the Housing of All that exists) - what did 'Space' Evolve from and how and when?

Major and even obscure Newspapers, Television Broadcast and Cable services and pundits of all varieties have questioned the seeming indifference of Barack Obama and his Administration about the lack of Security at Benghazi, Libya - especially since Congressional hearings has revealed that numerous requests were filed requesting more security.

The refusal to label the Benghazi Tragedy a pre-planned Islamic terrorist attack coinciding with 9-11 and instead blaming the attack as a spontaneous demonstration based on a obscure video on YouTube and then the continual 'Spin', obfuscations and lies to cover up the cover-up has left people in the United States and all over the World shaking their heads and questioning Barack Obama.

It was apparent that Barack Obama had spent most of his preparatory time for the debate, devising and developing excuses and most importantly - 'Plausible Denial' of his involvement in the Benghazi tragedy.

Mitt Romney never gave Barack Obama the chance that Obama desperately wanted and left Obama visibly shaken and stewing in his own juices.

Personally, I think the Romney strategy was masterful and placed Obama in attack mode and Obama showed the desperation in his demeanor and his Sophomoric words which left Barack Obama look like a Community Organizer, rather than a Head of State and Commander-In-Chief.

I would be remiss if I did not mention that Mitt Romney was NOT in my top 5 choices for the GOP nomination, but the more I see him and the more I hear him I think he will be a formidable foe for Barack Obama and Liberal Progressives who want to destroy the American Economic System through Wealth Redistribution.

That is my opinion.

Jeannie DeAngelis - The Obama-Crowley Transcript Charade

Many people are asking the question: Did something seem rotten in Hempstead? In preparation for the second debate, moderator par excellence Candy Crowley was the one who picked the debate questions, including the hot-button query on the 9/11 attack in Benghazi, Libya.

That Libya question was presented to Barack Obama by Kerry Ladka in the following way:

LADKA: This question actually comes from a brain trust of my friends at Global Telecom Supply in Mineola yesterday. We were sitting around talking about Libya, and we were reading and became aware of reports that the State Department refused extra security for our embassy in Benghazi, Libya, prior to the attacks that killed four Americans. Who was it that denied enhanced security and why?

Predictably, President Obama gave a non-answer:

PRESIDENT OBAMA: Well, let me, first of all, talk about our diplomats, because they serve all around the world and do an incredible job in a very dangerous situation. And these aren’t just representatives of the United States; they’re my representatives. I send them there, oftentimes into harm’s way. I know these folks, and I know their families. So nobody’s more concerned about their safety and security than I am.

Now, Governor Romney had a very different response. While we were still dealing with our diplomats being threatened, Governor Romney put out a press release trying to make political points. And that’s not how a commander in chief operates. You don’t turn national security into a political issue, certainly not right when it’s happening.

In his reply Obama focused on goading Romney by accusing him of “trying to make political points” by attempting to “turn national security into a political issue.” Obama went on to say that the next day in the Rose Garden he called the Benghazi attack “an act of terror,” which he knew would get Romney’s attention.

When Mitt Romney challenged the President’s claim to have admitted that it was an “act of terror” the next day, a relaxed Obama smiled haughtily, balanced himself on his stool and said, “Please proceed…please proceed Governor” as if to say “Go ahead and make a fool of yourself.”

Obama then signaled to Crowley to “Get the transcript.” Wonder of wonders, Candy just happened to have Obama’s Rose Garden comments right in her hand. Crowley, who obviously didn’t read the transcript, proceeded to agree with Obama by informing Romney that the President did indeed say that it was an “act of terrorism.” A smirking Obama then delighted the audience when he smarmily yelled out, “Could you say that a little louder” honey, I mean Candy?

Was Mitt set up? It appears that Obama purposely instigated the Benghazi controversy. If not, then why would tag team Obama/Crowley just so happen to have the Rose Garden transcript handy? Obama called for a reading from the record and was supported by the supposedly neutral debate moderator with an interpretational stretch that endeavored to make Mitt Romney look clueless and as if he was trying to score political points.

By the next day, besides admitting she was wrong on the facts, Candy Crowley also revealed that she was wearing a Peter Popoff-style earpiece, which she claimed “played no part in the Benghazi/terror exchange.”

The question is, did Candy Crowley have any other transcripts in her debate brush-up pile? And if not, why not?

There is no way to know for sure whether the Obama/Crowley crew attempted, albeit poorly, to purposely ensnare Mitt Romney, but based on what happened at Hofstra University, an orchestrated liberal assault is certainly something that doesn’t seem out of the question.
