Is it acceptable that a political operative(s) using now banned profiles (see detail) injected 256 anti-Trump or anti-Republican questions in August?
“Trollishness” is usually apparent in the question, and MANY of the “insult-combined-with-??” get bumped. Such tactics are extremely common on MANY issues within Quora, particularly when a) Lack of Free Speech in China; b) Non-transparent arrest laws in Russia c) Anything anti- Putin or Anti-Xi.I’ve frequently encountered those that equate anti-Zionism (Anti-Israel) with being anti-Semitism (against the Jewish Faith), and their favorite tool is to go in and CHANGE THE QUESTION, so it either becomes obscure, or the answer(s) simply become non sequitur, and appear as coming ‘out of left field.’Hillary’s head-count approaches 1000 employee’s banging her drum (largest political machine in the World’s history), so there is little doubt that they are ALL OVER Quora. China has their own ’50 Cent’ direction [1] , and Putin has 4-floors of Pro-Putin, anti-West propaganda trolls[2] .Footnotes[1] China Banned The Term '50 Cents' To Stop Discussion Of An Orwellian Propaganda Program[2] http://www.rand.org/content/dam/...
Why is the failure in Benghazi not a bigger issue to the left?
The whole Benghazi thing is a non-issue.Politically the shouty elements on the right are damaging the Republican party, because they are just unreasonable.It has to be understood that Benghazi is a dangerous place and that being a diplomat is dangerous. The courage of these people is often overlooked.American policy should be a lot less about guns and invasions. It should accept that occasionally things are going to go wrong and people are going to die.Libya is a new country and pro-Western: there isn't really anything much Obama can do that would be helpful. The authorities in Libya will be keen to prosecute someone, but it serves not purpose in doing random killings of usual suspects.To suggest every time someone dies abroad is a policy failure or a cover up is not politics, it is conspiracy theory.I think Obama is a huge advance on Bush. He has heeded (mostly) international law and tried to get consensus. The real bad stuff that Obama is doing is the stuff Republicans approve of.Drone strikes against people identified as targets often with women and children as "Collateral" damageThe NDAAThe murder of Bin Laden and the violation of Pakistani airspace.All the places that Obama is going wrong are places FOX and the Republicans would support. Benghazi was tragic, but the logic that this should mean an invasion or beserk over reaction is daft. Sometimes you have to calm things down. Sensible foreign policy does not mean pointless expensive invasions at the drop of a hat.You cannot compare Benghazi with the bush screw ups---9/11, Afghanistan and Iraq. No one is going to be counting the bodies for the next 10 years. .----------------------------------------------edit----------------------------------------------------------------from a comment by Juergen Nieveler belowit wasn't actually an embassy but rather a CIA outpost with some state department people acting as camouflage: http://m.upi.com/story/UPI-44771...
