ReaClear Politics 05/16/13 on the Benghazi cover-up: "The video
whopper and the slippery presidential phraseology were coordinated
spin — the video to fool the rubes pre-election, the slick rhetoric to
fool them now. "
"...very explicit statements by Libyan government authorities, left no
doubt that on 9-11-2012 the U.S. consulate in Benghazi suffered a
planned attack by an organized anti-American militant Islamist
militia. A terrorist force had hit us with another 9-11 terror attack,
and Americans had died, among them our ambassador to Libya.
Given the facts, the Obama administration’s bizarre claim that a
sacrilegious Internet video had inflamed peaceful Libyan demonstrators
— and in an outburst spurred by overwhelming theological pain, this
moody crowd murdered our unfortunate ambassador — just didn’t
wash. . . . As for passing major media smell tests before the 2012
presidential election? Of course the blarney passed ‘em! But eight
months after the attack and six months after the election, even
President Barack Obama’s chief media enablers have begun to
acknowledge the video-did-it propaganda tizzy the administration
orchestrated was stench itself.
And orchestrated propaganda it was, with the video-did-it narrative
hedged by presidential statements calculated to slyly finesse
terrorist complicity in the attack....
....The video whopper and the slippery presidential phraseology were
coordinated spin — the video to fool the rubes pre-election, the slick
rhetoric to fool them now...."
