Benghazi Boogaloo

@izzythepush,

Actually,

it is spelled "furor"

http://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/furor

@izzythepush,

It was "common knowledge" that the world was flat.
It was "common knowledge" that man couldn't go to the moon.
It was "common knowledge" that earth was the center of the universe.

Common knowledge usually turns out to be wrong.

@RABEL222,

Gee, another American coward. Whodathunk such a thing could happen, what with all the bragging about what great debaters they are?

The US propaganda mill has provided a lubricant for y'all to scroll/slide right on past the truth for your entire life, Rabel. Why should you change now?

Your statement is perfectly supported by the following, MM.

It was "common knowledge" that the US was a kind, generous country that looked out for the poor and the oppressed.

I can't think of any "common knowledge" that was more wrong than that. I doubt you could either.

@InfraBlue,

You're quibbling (and erroneously) in the margins.

Are you really so enthralled by Obama that you can't see or acknowledge he and his Administration have failed their people in Libya, and misled the American people?

It's clear that they did so for political reasons, but you don't even have to buy that to display independent thought...just stop making feeble excuses for them.

@mysteryman,

Well your understanding of the concept definitely is.

When was it common knowledge the world was flat?

It's you that seems to be quibbling, Finn.

Are you really so enthralled by America that you can't see or acknowledge that successive administrations have murdered countless people all the while misleading the American people?

Where is this government of the people by the people for the people? Really quite a monstrous lie, wouldn't you say?

Those are real questions, Finn. What say you?

Top 50 US War Criminals

By David Swanson

18 August, 2009
After Downing Street

Compiled below, in hopes that it may be of some assistance to Eric Holder, John Conyers, Patrick Leahy, active citizens, foreign courts, the International Criminal Court, law firms preparing civil suits, and local or state prosecutors with decency and nerve is a list of 50 top living U.S. war criminals. These are men and women who helped to launch wars of aggression or who have been complicit in lesser war crimes. These are not the lowest-ranking employees or troops who managed to stray from official criminal policies. These are the makers of those policies.

How am I quibbling, exactly? Because I pointed out that your photos have so far turned out to be bogus? Or is it that I pointed out that Ambassador Stevens himself didn't request for more security? Or is it that I pointed out that Nordstrom complained that his requests for more security were ignored, but at the same time there was more security detail at the time of the attack than what the State Department had called for? That's quibbling?

I already acknowledged here that the Obama Administration screwed up in regard to the deaths at the diplomatic mission in Benghazi.

Are you saying that the Obama Administration failed their people in Libya for political reasons?

In regard to your idea that they mislead the American people, you still haven't provided anything but insinuations, question begging--as thought up by FoxNews and their screeching Republican extremists "independent thinkers" (where are your independent thoughts?)--and offhanded dismissal of the points I've provided as "feeble excuses."

@mysteryman,

Basically what you're doing is deliberately conflating common knowledge with a widely held belief in order to make a cheap rhetorical stunt. This isn't the first time you've dug up an old post of mine for some weird reason of yours.

By using the rule of three, and deciding on your own definition of 'common knowledge,' you're doing something very simple and ultimately meaningless. Why did it take you so long?

Here's a similar example,

It's common knowledge there were no WMDS in Iraq.

It's common knowledge Reagan was giving arms to the Contras

It's common knowledge Sir Jimmy Savile OBE was a predatory paedophile.

Common knowledge tends to be bang on.

The reason I don't waste my time posting endless links to something that is common knowledge when debating with extreme right wing Americans, is because they've swallowed so much far right propaganda they view the truth and facts as socialist, so any source no matter how reputable will be branded hysterically left wing. With regard to Bush being warned by the Clinton admin about Al Qaida, Infra Blue has already posted a link. Now you can blame the success of 9/11 on the ingenuity of Al Qaida, but the fact that a complete muppet was sitting in the Whitehouse at the time was the main reason it happened. Nothing like it happened under Clinton or Obama.

The last debate is on foreign policy so I imagine Benghazi will figure pretty heavy in the questions. I hope Obama has got the answers.

@revelette,

You can count on Obama having a list of well rehearsed lies that he offer up as answers.

Yes! Taking a page from your book. Bet that really pisses you off.

Why?

Why does president Obama and his administration continue
lying to the American people about this 9/11 terrorists attack
that resulted in the murder of four Americans including U.S.
Ambassador Chris Stevens.

Obama must be fired for job performance that is less than optimal .

In American English. In British English, it's spelled like ... the original Italian word. You easily could have found out, mm, when you actually had looked at your own link.

no wonder it looks odd.

I'd never seen it as furore until mm reacted to it.

There is no logical reason for America to believe a
single word that comes out of Obama's mouth or the
mouths of his administration and his supporters.

Their lies have no place here, fire all of them.
