So what's this Benghazi cover up all about?
All last summer Fox News (and ONLY Fox News) had been telling its audience that Mitt Romney was going to win the Presidential election in a landslide. Then just 7 weeks before the election Jesus delivered a present - those evil Muslim's (presumably dark-skinned) had attacked about a dozen embassy's and consulates throughout the Middle East, the most serious attack being in Benghazi, Libya where the Ambassador, one staffer and 2 CIA operatives were killed. Even though there had been 11 fatal attacks on American diplomatic compounds during the previous administration which killed 60 people and almost no attention had been paid to any of them, the timing of this one was perfect. Cons could manufacture a scandal just before the election that would secure their man's victory! Thus followed months of one bat-feces crazy conspiracy theory after another followed by many gross mis-interpretations of the Constitution which Republican's pretend they are uniquely qualified to uphold (hint: The 2nd Ammendment isn't the only Ammendment). When their man lost the election to that scary black Muslim socialist from Kenya who runs the secret FEMA camps the core of the conservative movement (the ones who truly believe Obama is a black Muslim socialist from Kenya who runs secret FEMA camps) just knew the election had been stolen from them. After all, Fox assured them they would win. Right up to the last minute on election night no less than Karl Rove was assuring them Ohio was going to go their way. As punishment for stealing their election this core group of cons decided to exact their revenge by playing out this Benghazi thing until Obama was lynched from the White House lawn - or at least impeached. Thus for 8 months we have been hearing about alleged "cover-ups" and how the smoking gun was going to emerge from the next Congressional hearing. To date the best these idiots can come up with is the President wrongly blamed the attack on a Youtube video. This is not news. Everyone, including the administration has admitted this for oh,... the last 8 months. Still waiting for someone to explain what exactly was covered up and what specific statute was violated to justify impeachment.
Will the Benghazi hearings being a "witch hunt" now help Hillary in getting more support?
I think Hillary probably will gain from the way the hearings went, but I don't know. What really needs to be investigated about Benghazi, however, is why the United States got involved in bombing Libya in order to topple Qaddaffi in the first place. Qaddaffi may have been a political monster, but he wasn't attacking us at the time. Despite the corruption and brutality of his government, women had more rights in Tripoli under his dictatorship than they have in most of Libya today, and the country wasn't splitting into pieces. The U.S. originally started a NATO bombing campaign for supposedly "humanitarian" reasons, and yet it morphed almost instantly into an all-out attack on Qaddaffi's forces. And it lead to a big mess. WHY did the United States, in the name of "humanitarian" ideals, launch another military operation in the Middle East and North Africa that ended up making things worse than before? Some people say it's because Obama is secretly a Muslim extremist. Which is possible, anything is possible, but I think it's nonsense. Isn't this another sorry example of the United States basically working for an "imperialist" goal in the Arab world -- for the triumph of our oil companies, our global market system and our diplomatic and military goals, and to hell with the local people? Which neither the Republicans nor Hillary nor Obama will ever say, of course. But it's an explanation that fits perfectly with the facts we know about previous US interventions in Iraq, in Vietnam, in Guatemala (1954), in Panama (too many times to count) and even in Iran. (The example here being the CIA's overthrow of the democratically elected Mossadegh government back in 1953.)

How does the Benghazi attack differ from all of those during gwbush?
much of the world,democrat,republican,,the fine folks on jay lenos jaywalking segments,,historically culturally,ignorant on islamofascism,it resurges like cancer,psoriasis,and fleas the muslim brohood murdered anwar al sadat in 1981,the mufti of jerusalem in the 40s,turned palestinian jews over to the nazi death camp handlers. bush had intelligence that the pot was starting to bubble over,intel among fbi,cia.,the bombing of our troops when reagan was prez,,reagan foolishly confined our 'peacekeepers' to barracks in a cul desac, there should have been cia out in the neighborhoods to get sense of the locals, whos who,whos doin what. ,,the left hounded bush,still do b/c of 911,many leftists,libertarians blaming our bases and worldwide presence for the 911 attack,we madem doit. obama on the anniversary of 911,,ought to have had a couple hundred marines at the ready,in ME facilities,at bases in quatar,italy,aircraft helos ready to reinforce,,proggies & websites predictably blame republicans for budget cuts,,,the thinking of bureaucrats. those fellas called called again pleaded for help,,forces at the ready called state, DOD,for permission to respond,told to STAND DOWN ALL HAIL THE SLEEPING CIC
If you mean is she personally responsible for it, the answer is no. The State Department is massive, and things like individual security arrangements for an embassy are delegated down the food chain to subordinates, who then pass it down to their subordinates and so on. No single Secretary of State could micromanage every infinitesimal detail, even if one tried, it would be impossible for one person to sort through communications, cables, memos, reports coming in from all the offices and embassies around the world. Even if a dozen meth-heads worked around the clock with an infinite supply, they too couldn’t manage a fraction of it. In the case of Benghazi, it’s hard to see how a single individual is responsible. It might be politically expedient for politicians to try, if you remember during the 2012 Vice-Presidential debate, right after the attack, Joe Biden and Democrats blamed Republicans because they claimed the budget passed by a Republican Congress cut Embassy Security funding by hundreds of millions. But do I blame Paul Ryan for Benghazi because he headed the budget committee? No, of course not, just like I don’t blame Clinton. It isn’t that simple.
Why do muslims claim they have a religion of peace when they fail to reign in their terrorists brothers?
The problem that you claim is a muslim issue is really a human issue. Humans always see themselves as right over others that are different then themselves. The actions of the Muslims today are no different then the actions of Christians in the Past. We have done just as awful things in the name of our God as what the Muslims have done in the name of theirs. (actually we both worship the same God). Another fact is that Muslims are as different in their religion as Christians are in theirs. Some Muslims are very peaceful, and find that the actions of their radical brothers very disturbing and shameful. I as a Christian find that there are those that call themselves Christian that are willing to do things that I would find equally shocking and shameful. It says in Ecclesiasties that there is 'nothing new under the sun' and in this case it is very true. The radical muslims have not done anything that has not been done to them before. Muslims are the largest religion in the world currently. I dare say that most of them dont support terrorism. Your claim of their lack of control is short sited. We have very little control of the actions of Christians in Europe(!!!), the same is ture here. Finally 'Submit' is not necesarily meaning that non-muslims should submit. It is a reminder to those that claim the muslim belief that they themselves should submit to God. They see their lives as one of Discipline. That is why most muslims are upset at the emotional and undisciplined actions of their brothers. Dont give into your hate because others have shown you theirs!!!!
Can the Fox News haters give a single example of a lie...?
First off, Liberals seem to have a problem distinguishing opinion from fact. Currently from 7:00 pm est on to 11:00 est. Fox programming is OPINION-based. It's day time viewing is FACT based news program using a "Fair and Balance" reporting. meaning when a political or social new story is presented they feature representatives from the majority of voting parties to weigh in. There has been time when the Liberal rep was asked to appear but has refused to comment on a issue. Years back, Jon Stewart appeared on the Chris Wallace Sunday news show and made a statement that Fox News viewers are misinformed. Politifact called this statement false and he has rescinded this comment. But many on the Liberal left side watch "The Comedy Channel" Jon Stewart and use it as a new source. The liberals are using this " Fox News viewers are misinformed" falsehood as a way of belittle the powerful and highly rated Fox New channel. I have story regarding Fox News, well I have several but here is one. It involved Benghazi. I watch Fox news. I brought it to a family member before the presidental vote and I told them I voting for Romney they question me how can you vote for that guy and when I explained it to them about Benghazi. They asked me "where did you get that? Faux news? Several months later I was watching C-span hearings and this family member came by to pick something up. She saw I was watching the hearing on Benghazi. She was shocked and began asking questions about it. One thing about Fox News is that they have an awesome investigative journalist on their staff. Jennifer Griffith, Catherine Herridge, Jim Rosen and others. I can't name one invest. reporter on any other channels. MSNBC programming is mostly left leaning opinion base. CNN often makes errors in their reporting. Now one thing to consider is another survey that was conduct that show that conservatives have a higher IQ than Liberal. (I will post links in the source section)
Does it sound like the so called Benghazi Scandal just fizzled away ,just like the so called?
Fast and Furious should have at the very least landed Eric Holder in prison. Something like that comes straight from the top, but instead of releasing the facts about it, congress was stonewalled by the Obama administartion. It's very likely Obama himself gave the ok for it, hence why nothing about it came out. Benghazi was nothing less than incompetence. Instead of immediately debreifing the President the attack was held off until a daily meeting took place. I can't really blame Obama, you can blame Hillary Clinton, you could blame his advisors who should have debriefed him.
What are the "lies" Fox news has reported regarding the Benghazi, or IRS or AP stories?
I don't know about Fox News but here is one from CBS it states the Ambassador and the RSO official both had been requesting additional security and also that the 3 six man teams and the 16 man team be replaced. I also read were Benghazi was at one point a "hotbed' for the Al Queda. Since were were helping the freedom fighting Al Queda it sorta hard to figure out what the administration is and was up to. As far as Syria it seems the 12% Christian population is backing the Original Syrian government, then Hezbollah is also fighting with them against the Al Queda groups we are arming. wonder if any of those weapons will be used against our troops right across the border in Iraq. http://www.thegatewaypundit.com/2012/09/... whoops wrong link this is the CBS report with the time line pretty good. Why in the world would they not respond and for over a month, it's not this area was a town in Canada it was in a Nation the president circumvented Congress to bomb the heck out of. http://www.cbsnews.com/8301-202_162-5754... Here's what the RSO does so wonder why he was denied? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Regional_Se... This might be the reason President Obama is having so much trouble? http://www.wnd.com/2012/09/obama-suffers-amnesia-blaming-bush-for-economy/ Have a great 2013!
