Benghazi Again! Must You?

The Republican Party’s credo seems to be, if it is worth doing at all it is worth doing over and over and over, even when everyone who is too smart to be a Republican will tell you that doing it in the first place turned out to be an exercise in futility. So here we go again. The Obama administration recently produced more documents on Benghazi. Those documents did not add any information we did not already know, nor did they implicate anyone in a cover-up or an act of gross negligence. But Republicans are using the production of those documents to advance once more their absurd accusations and conspiracy theories. The lame stream media is too busy hocking the wares of their sponsors to trouble themselves with any facts; journalistic integrity to them means merely reporting what was said and by whom. So the lame stream media dutifully repeats the ridiculous accusations of the Republican shills and their babbling buffoons to an audience that greets those accusations with a collective yawn.

If you are looking for people who care about this phony issue of Benghazi you can find them among the viewers of MSNBC or Fox News. Viewers of MSNBC care about this trumped up issue because MSNBC uses the GOP’S wild accusations to show just how vicious and absurd the Republicans have become. The viewers of Fox News care about this trumped up issue because they are stupid enough to believe that Fox News is actually a news organization and a “news organization” that supports conspiracy theories validates their paranoia. In regard to Benghazi being an election issue, I would like to say it is a wash, but I am afraid that liberals are more inclined to laugh at it than vote on it, and right wingers are more inclined to vote on it. In other words, the Republicans can use it to stir up the dumb asses and bring out their base. There are, however, some very important issues that should still make reasonable people vote.
