"GOP Senator Pushes Gun-Running Conspiracy Theory During Benghazi Hearing."

That's the way they put it over at Think Progress. I've watched the video. Rand Paul asks a question. It seems histrionic to equate asking a question with pushing a conspiracy theory, and the truth is Hillary Clinton's answer has the ring of... lying.

The effort on the left to stereotype Rand Paul as a nutcase is so strenuous that it stimulates my root-for-the-underdog instinct. And makes me suspicious. I feel a Rand-Paul-must-be-destroyed conspiracy theory blossoming within.

Rule 11: Pick the target, freeze it, personalize it, polarize it. Don’t try to attack abstract corporations or bureaucracies. Identify a responsible individual. Ignore attempts to shift or spread the blame.

Big Mike म्हणाले...

President Rand Paul has a nice ring to it.

As to Hillary, mendacity is as natural to her as breathing. I don't see how you can she's lying when she lies routinely, and as her basic preference. If Hillary said that the sky over Washington, DC, is blue, I'd dash to a window on the east side of my office building because whatever color the sky was, if Hillary says it's blue it has to be some other color.

Rand Paul asks a question.

So what is the question he asks? Maybe that would help us to evaluate the truth claims.

You have to read between the lines when she refers to Argo. Also I believe Hillary said she called Petraeus to see what was going on with his operation the night of the attack. And she made a reference to Argo! Obama and co have already hung her out to dry on Benghazi. The stupid Republicans instead of asking probing and intelligence questions to draw out Obama's culpability in this matter, went for the plain vanilla hearing. What do you want her to do? Even her scream 'What difference does it make now?' has a ring of exasperation about both the Obama administration and the cowardly Republicans -- I bet she meant it like 'yeah, it would have made a difference before the election but you were all too incompetent to go after Obama'.

But for her own sake, I wish she had volunteered more incriminating info and thrown Obama under the bus.

Yup. Let's see if he gets the full Palin treatment. Not only mocking his words and ideas as being obviously too stupid to be believed, but also his hair, clothing, speech patterns. He probably has a dog that has been whacked with a newspaper or a cat that has been kicked at sometime in the past.

The machine is being warmed up to grind him into little bits before anyone has a chance to think for themselves.

How many times do I have to tell you this - I have posted on Think Progress here numerous times:

THAT is the truth.


That;s the truth.

It was about shipments from Libya to other places, perhaps Turkey.

Yes, there will be a movement to discredit Rand Paul.

The Republicans are cowed by this tactic. They are afraid to be effective against the administration.
Nobody wants to be the next Sarah Palin. Nobody wants to be called a Tea Partier.
And as long as the press is with Obama, its going to be very hard for individual Republicans to stand up.
Boehner is wrong to say Obama wants the Republicans gone. He already has them where he wants them. Their role is to be the bad guys Obama protects the people from.

I hear you Brent, and I like the Professor's highlight on this point.

It makes me think I should force myself to go to Think Progress more often. I used to surf around DemocraticUnderground and regularly read Matt Yglesias. It's a slog. I lost the motivation to read Andrew Sullivan years ago, a few years after I tossed a few dollars into his tip jar.

I, I, I...too many of them in my writing up there. It's a personal thing. I would like to find a few reasonable, considerate, debatable leftists to read regularly. Kirsten Powers and Juan Williams seemed like good sources for a while, but ever since they've been on FNC, they seem to have acquired the rightist version of DavidBrooksitis. They've gone native.

Of course I recognize that I could be a right-wing wacko, incapable of persuasion by the left. That thought makes the search even more difficult.

A good leftist is hard to find.

Shouting Thomas म्हणाले...

And as long as the press is with Obama, its going to be very hard for individual Republicans to stand up.

Then you might as well give up.

The press is never going to abandon their Magic Negro.

And, after that, it will be a female president (obviously only if she is a Democrat).

Then, all opposition will be proof of hatred of women.

Next, a gay president (again, must be Democrat).

Then, all opposition will be proof of hatred of gays.

What a system!

This is why my Democratic Facebutt friends have convinced themselves that the Republican Party is now extinct.

They believe that there is no answer to the "bigotry" gambit of the Democrats.

You hate women, gays and blacks unless you are a Democrat. It's self-evident.

The bigots must die!

Bob म्हणाले...

So, if Rand Paul were to say,

"Madame Secretary, is there any truth to the claim that when you were recently hospitalized for a blood clot, the CIA surreptitiously implanted a computer chip in your brain for unknoown purposes?"

that would just be a question, right? No conspiracy theory implied in any way. Just curious.

Lem Vibe Bandit म्हणाले...

"I thought using the Ayatollah's money to support the Nicaraguan resistance was a neat idea."

It made no difference to Oliver North that there was a law cutting off aid to the Contras... so they cooked up a weapons sale to keep money flowing to the Contras... circunbenting the will of Congress... the law.

Oliver North went to jail.

Anyway.. thats old hat.

Oliver North also may have run for the Senate seat Ran Paul now occupies... he is probably familiar with the scandal that now everybody seems to have forgotten.

furious_a म्हणाले...

...and the truth is Hillary Clinton's answer has the ring of... lying.

It's the blood clot. It's why Hillary! couldn't remember who hired Craig Livingstone and didn't know the Rose Law Firm billing records were on the conference room all along.

edutcher म्हणाले...

Of course there's a conspiracy to destroy Rand Paul.

And one to destroy Marco Rubio.

And, if Susana Martinez or Scott walker starts looking good in a couple of years, there will be one to destroy them.

just as there was one to destroy Sarah Palin and, before that, Dan Quayle.

The only young nominees must be sociopathic, telegenic empty suits from the Democrat Party.

And the "conspiracy" is no weirder than Iran-Contra.

They get targeted all the same, whether they stand up or sit down. Their mistake is thinking that there's a way to avoid being attacked by the press, when really the only way forward is straight through and out the other side.

Yeah, that's right. The vast left wing conspiracy to destroy Sarah Palin has succeeded beyond our wildest dreams.

Palin made her own decision to exit public office.

Being a public figure brings with it some of the most godawful crap you can imagine. Your opponents don't recognize any rules or limits. And, the crazies will target you for good and bad reasons.

I wish Palin had not made the decision to exit public office. But, she did. And, I understand her decision not to face that firestorm of hatred. If you want to be in public office, you have to face that firestorm.

Shouting Thomas म्हणाले...

Palin made a decision that made sense for her and her family.

She makes a very good living and she controls how and when she's in the public eye.

Good for her.

If she decides again to run for public office, she'd better be prepared to run the gauntlet. That's the price you have to pay.

Seeing Red म्हणाले...

Chuck म्हणाले...

Beautiful post, Professor Althouse. Brava.

The same thing, in a milder version, has been going on, on National Public Radio for the last 24 hours, as Secretary Clinton was portrayed as well prepared, capable, and with empathy toward the vicitms of the terrorist attack. Senator Ron Johnson has been protrayed as caustic, combative and challenging.

In fact, watching his questioning and Secretary Clinton's response in full context, it is clear the if Johnson had been a Democrat and Clinton had been a Republican -- and even more particularly if their genders had been reversed -- the national press corps would be wondering if Clinton were mentally competent to hold high office, so hysterically unhinged was her blowup to one of the simple basic questions of the last several months; why did Secretary Rice go on national television with a virtual script to blame the Benghazi attack on a video-inspired riot? Because Secretary Clinton herself participated in that charade, with her own international video.

... the truth is Hillary Clinton's answer has the ring of... lying.

Of course it does. That's because she is flat out lying.

CIA regularly use State and USAID as *beards*...frequently basing their stations within an embassy or consulate, or in an "annex" (ubiquitous term for CIA facility in or near an Embassy) and the Ambassadors and Secretary of State damn well know about and enable it.

Too cute by half again was Hillary's answer to Paul when she *deferred* to the agency that operated the annex. The question was about gun running and she didn't answer it...she deflected it by alleging she had no knowledge of the other guys doings....and there-in is the lie. Outright lying. Period.

For a good view of State Department & CIA connections, especially in crisis, as I've suggested before, read "Decent Interval" by Frank Snepp. The government tried mightily to stop publication and ban the text. That's a high recommendation.

The Belmont Club is a must-read today:

...That doesn’t mean Assad won’t implode at some point anyway. But when he does it won’t be where the State Department wants it.

Obama has kept the true import of Benghazi from everyone but America’s foes: it was the moment when the Obama administration realized it had been duped into arming al-Qaeda. The ship of Obama’s state is now beached on the shoals. It’s full back and dump the ballast. He has no appetite for “forward” in international affairs, just “forward” into the taxpayer’s wallets.

What Obama will try to do now according to “the foreign policy expert and former Obama official, State Department official, Anne-Marie Slaughter” is to “find the happy medium between not committing us to a decades-long ground war and choosing not to do anything”. Like referring Assad’s crimes to the international criminal court and similar initiatives. Such PR exercises will appear “bold” to Candy Crowley but they will fool no one in the region. Syria will remain aflame while the administration hunker downs in the firehouse. Foukara added:

...And therefore it is on the Kingdom that any struggle for the region must ultimately center. Even though the Obama administration has obtusely been content to fritter away American strength with a whack-a-mole strategy in Afghanistan, Mali and elsewhere, America’s enemies will have long recognized that the center of gravity, the linchpin of the area, is the money and religious authority of Saudi Arabia. They may do what Obama could never do: focus on the point of weakness, go for the jugular.

There to stop them is the champion with the faked muscles. President Obama’s announcement that ‘a decade of war is now ending and an economic recovery has begun’ will cut ice with no one but his tame press. To America’s enemies it must signal the exact opposite. It must sound like Obama will not coming out at the bell. He may try to declare himself the undefeated champion of the world and hope he gets away with it, like he got away with everything else. Chris Matthews will hear in those hollow boasts “the Gettysburg Address”. But to others the message will be plainer. “No mas! No mas!”.

The left has destroyed this country; in return, I hope their entire gene pools are eradicated by some happy accident from heaven. Inga the Whore's spawn and Garbage's miserable genes are worthless, as are their existences.

Note: I am not encouraging or stating that anyone should attack them or their families. Just saying it would be sweetly awesome if Al Queda guys who escaped water-boarding and were freed by the ACLU blew their homes and families to Allah-come.

p.s. also note that Garbage pail's argument that I am "subhuman" rests in my being "racist."

Because noting factual patterns in human behavior based on race is subhuman behavior.

This is what civility brings you, righties! Enjoy the decline!

In short, you are the exception that proves the progressive rule.

Well, if he is the exception, how do you explain Cedarford and Jay?

Cedarford is no conservative.

How does the left explain shiloh and Jack Diamond?

It's a trick question: they don't. Nor do they explain why they don't enforce the other principles they hold against the right amongst their own supporters.

Neither one spews the hatred of Whores. Have you looked at his website!?

No, I haven't. Interestingly until today the only person who had ever responded to him was Inga - who wants him around to feed her victimhood posturing and enable her sliming others by association.

And I didn't compare shiloh and Diamond to whores. You asked about Jay. And if you recognize whores is unique why are you comparing others to him? There's a line between whores and Diamond but not between whores and Jay? Only among those whose standards vary based on which party is being discussed.

Who looks at one of his posts and thinks "hm, I think I'll go check out his website now"?

I see large amounts of fertilizer when I read whoresoftheinternet's comments too. The organic kind of fertilizer.

You aren't that different than Whores


I'd say someone who believes the religious right intends to force most women into sexual slavery and the rest into permanent subservience here in America is much closer to whores than I am.
But I'm not insane so naturally your conclusions will differ.

For the most part, that's a true statement.

Therefore I've deleted my comments to *whores* as a waste of time.

U.S.-Approved Arms for Libya Rebels Fell Into Jihadis’ Hands
The Obama administration secretly gave its blessing to arms shipments to Libyan rebels from Qatar last year ... No evidence has emerged linking the weapons provided by the Qataris during the uprising against Col. Muammar el-Qaddafi to the attack that killed four Americans at the United States diplomatic compound in Benghazi, Libya

The same lack of evidence which permitted Obama to lie about arming cartels, and his Justice Department to sustain the lie.

The same lack of evidence which permitted Obama to lie about Americans (and Afghans) sacrificing their lives to appease terrorists.

The same lack of evidence which justifies disarming law-abiding Americans while empowering criminals and illegals.

The same lack of evidence which leaves people ignorant to the devaluation of capital and labor at a rate of 10% per annum.

The same lack of evidence which comforts women when they commit murder to preserve their wealth and welfare.

The same lack of evidence which permits Obama to cry for America while exploiting Americans.

The preponderance of a lack of evidence suggests that they posses ulterior motives and that they are greedy, unconscionable bastards.

I've always thought Ron Paul was a kook. BUT, I'm more impressed by Rand. He doesn't seem quite a far out, and some of his views seem a bit more nuanced.
He's good on the economy, but I'm still wary of the Paul brand on foreign policy.

Hockey great Brad Park wrote a book called 'Play the Man.' That's how you win in hockey. A good defenseman doesn't play the puck, he plays the man. Politics is the same way, to a large extent. You have to play the man. Too often Republicans get caught up in theory and numbers -- they play the puck. Democrats play the man.

So yes, we will see a non-stop attempt to demonize Paul, Rubio, Palin, Ryan, Christie and anybody else who looks like a potential contender for 2016. Play the man and you don't have to worry about the puck.

Most misleading name EVER.

They'd better change it to "Regurgitated Leftist Dreck" or I'm contacting the FTC.

"I'm convinced Leftism is a religion satisfying some deep genetic requirement for a religion in humans."

Yes, it's called superficial Vedanta. English translation: the unitarian smirk of bitter gray, compelled as by gulag. It satisfies not genetics but the power of delusion, not quite the same.

Evil is relatively easy to recognize, check and avert. Evil self-promoted as good is all ways difficult and dangerous. "Democrats" and their trolls and sock puppets are masters of superficial Vedanta. They *are* an apparent religion, now to include The Episcopal Church in the USA and other ecclesial judicatories.

Basically SOP for the Hive. Anyone who opposes their agenda for turning the US into Venezuela del Norte is either stupid, villainous or a nut case. Part of this is tactics; part of it is their own insularity. "How could anyone believe other than what we believe? Only dolts, dastards or ding-a-lings could dare question our revealed wisdom!"
