yeah the media sure has been unkind to the guy that they spent the last few years giving largely favourable coverage despite the fact that he's a tremendous rear end in a top hat

Was I really the only one who suspected this about Gale? The weird attachment to his libertarian views

I thought that would have worked better as Christie being a stand-in for Clemenza and one of his staff as Lampone. Slap whatever stupid label you want on a bumper sticker because it is a political cartoon after all. It shows Christie as facilitating the job without pulling the trigger himself and adds the cannoli bit as a "lol he's fat" cherry on the sundae.

This is a new one on me, I gotta say. Saying a fictional character (who, yes, is never shown interacting with children in any way and is mostly just depicted as a harmless dork) is probably a pedophile because he's a libertarian is the kind of thing a Strawman Liberal might say. Do you live in an Eric Allie cartoon?

The waves of Africans doing anything to get into Europe, desperate to find a higher standard of living then in their own countries are also hitting Israel. They were refugees when they got to Egypt. Then they left Egypt in search of a way into the only country in the region with European standards, both economic and humanitarian. So now it's our problem, and whatever we do, somehow the Media will show us to be the bad guys.

Also, to clarify, the ban on e-cigs is not a total ban, you're just not allowed to smoke an e-cig anyplace that you're not allowed to smoke a regular cigarette.

Is he implying that those are contradictory statements?

Yes, because "terror" implies elaborate plots, not "some guys flipping their poo poo."

Shrug?

They're harping on the Youtube video thing again to say that Obama was lying about who was behind the attack. It must have been in some talking point e-mail or something recently because that's what all of the people in the comments are saying.

NYT posted:

Fifteen months after Mr. Stevens’s death, the question of responsibility remains a searing issue in Washington, framed by two contradictory story lines.

One has it that the video, which was posted on YouTube, inspired spontaneous street protests that got out of hand. This version, based on early intelligence reports, was initially offered publicly by Susan E. Rice, who is now Mr. Obama’s national security adviser.

The other, favored by Republicans, holds that Mr. Stevens died in a carefully planned assault by Al Qaeda to mark the anniversary of its strike on the United States 11 years before. Republicans have accused the Obama administration of covering up evidence of Al Qaeda’s role to avoid undermining the president’s claim that the group has been decimated, in part because of the raid that killed Osama bin Laden.

The investigation by The Times shows that the reality in Benghazi was different, and murkier, than either of those story lines suggests. Benghazi was not infiltrated by Al Qaeda, but nonetheless contained grave local threats to American interests. The attack does not appear to have been meticulously planned, but neither was it spontaneous or without warning signs.

If the GOP was actually dead, it wouldn't be necessary to reiterate that they are dead. They'd just be dead and we'd stop talking about them.

Instead they just have terminal butt cancer.

You have to be the most tone-deaf and willfully-dense motherfucker to actually include "refugees who came to Israel through Egypt" in your description and then go "why should we care?"

colonel_korn posted:

It's because the New York Times published a lengthy report just before New Year's suggesting that the Benghazi attack was, in fact, motivated in large part by The Innocence of Muslims video. Which of course doesn't preclude it from being a terrorist attack as well. But anyways it's been sufficient to start the noise machine rolling once again.

e: basically this fairly even-handed description of the event is enough to get them screaming

Hmm, refugees coming from Egypt and heading to Palestine... are there any other ethnic groups, perhaps, who have done that in the past? It sounds familiar, but I can't put my finger on it...

How is Bengahzi Terrorism. Were civilians targeted? Honestly asking.

Edible Hat posted:

Does the right-wing response to the NYT article amount to anything besides "nuh uh." Do they have a competing report/study/article to point to that contradicts what The Times is saying? It seems like if they want the "truth" about Benghazi, they would appreciate the in depth reporting provided by that article.
