Clinton Benghazi-palooza Live Thread - Stream Starts 10AM

[Fmr President & Senator Polnut]

She looked visually emotional/moved while Elijah Cummings held his fiery speech. I think I even could spot a tear or two in her eyes. She had to struggle to keep it together and not be carried away at that point.
And people say she's cold and calculating.

Tears won her the NH primary last time.

Just stop it. She's human, get over it. I know that ruins your view of her, but accept it and move on.

That wasn't even an attack on her, just rationally stating why the polls were all off. Silly Hillary supporters being so defensive of their candidate 30 points up in the polls.

Polls aren't always accurate, look at the polling leading up to the recent UK election then look at the final results.

No, it's why the tears. It's also because it was NH and you never trust NH polls.

What the heck?  You guys watched this?  It's a Thursday; do you have jobs?

I only watched  ~3 hours of it. I'd be surprised if anyone watched all 11.

FOX didn't even watch that much.

If Republicans know what's good for them, they'll stop mentioning Benghazi and her emails because she crushed every notion of a scandal yesterday.

[Col. Roosevelt]

The GOP played it poorly at the proceedings too. It came off as more of a witch-hunt (which it was) than a fact-finding mission.

[IceSpear]

Is there anywhere that has a transcript of the entire thing? To defend myself from Joe, today's my day off.

Amazing analysis from Matt Taibbi on the hearing

[Stockdale for Veep]

Who better than Seinfeld to sum up this entire farce.

They're talking about the video that the administration initially claimed the attack was a result of atm.

This was the only valid thing all day. Obama and his administration lied as we admitted the truth to Egypt.

[Likely Voter]

The GOP are lucky that SNL is off air this weekend. They would have a field day with this. Mediate even 'imagined' what it would be like

That would hold up if Ahmed Abu Khattala hasn't said that the video was part of his motivation for the attack. Also, Clinton specifically didn't blame the attack in Benghazi on said video, merely said that some might seek to justify the attack because of the outrage caused by the video. The two things are quite different, even if fake green avatars are known to lack an appreciation for nuance.

So, how is the conservative media spinning this debacle?  Seems all quiet.

[riceowl]

I listened to fox news on the radio this morning.  They were taking quotes and groan-gasping in disbelief with the lies and disrespect for the dead she showed.

No, not so quiet, it's just that people have made up their minds, so nothing will change it...

I watched that performance, and I said, this is either the most incompetent person I've ever seen holding the job of Secretary of State, she knew nothing about what was going on, or the biggest liar I ever saw. Take your pick.

If she was this terrible as Secretary of State, imagine how terrible she'd be as president.

I'll take her at her word. At her word, she was the most incompetent Secretary of State in the last 100 years.

Huge slam on William Jennings Bryan there.
