These reports are troublesome enough, but they were to be capped before week's end by the account given by Charles Woods, father of Tyrone Woods one of the Special forces men murdered in this assault:He said the President was cold and appeared unsympathetic at the ceremony at which the bodies of the slain were returned. Secretary Clinton whispered that the administration was going to have the producer of the film trailer arrested, showing she was still playing the lying game and, at the same time, demonstrating the administration's utter disregard for the Free Speech guarantees of the Constitution. But that wasn't the worst of it. The rock bottom of sleaziness was the question asked by the Vice President:"Did your son always have balls the size of cue balls?"
People died. Obama lied. But he and his administration have also betrayed the fundamental principles of our American constitution and our inherent rights to freedom of speech and freedom of religion.
Couple that with Obama's speech to the United Nations in which he said "The future must not belong to those who slander the prophet of Islam." Then he tried to make a moral equivalence to slander to the burning of churches and incitement to violence against Shia pilgrims and so on.
I hope we see a landslide repudiation of this man and his dhimmi policies come November 6. I think the whole Benghazi debacle boils down to this: Obama had to prove that his policies in the Middle East were working, that Osama was dead and he had successfully recalibrated the American image in the Muslim world. Bowing and scraping and apologizing for America were part of that strategy.
Then Benghazi and Cairo happened, and in both cases sovereign American territory was breached by Islamists, and in Benghazi there was no mob precipitating the violence, but a planned attack with sophisticated weaponry that people don't ordinarily bring to demos. So, this had to be planted in the "America's at fault" narrative Obama has been spinning since he took office. So some obscure YouTube trailer was blamed and the producer arrested by brown-shirted men who came knocking on his door in the middle of the night. You know, even if this video DID form the pretext for violence somewhere, to throw constitutional rights under the bus and apologize for our freedoms no matter how egregiously someone might be exercising them, is what grates me most because it is this kind of policy that led to the death not only of Tyrone Woods, Glen Doherty, Sean Smith and Ambassador Chris Stephens but also of those who died at the hands of the Fort Hood killer whose radical Islamism was not checked because of political correctness.
"We're going to have that person arrested and prosecuted that did the video," said Hillary Clinton. No, not the person who made the video saying that voting for Barack Obama is like losing your virginity to a really cool guy. I'll get to that in a moment. But Secretary Clinton was talking about the fellow who made the supposedly Islamophobic video that supposedly set off the sacking of the Benghazi consulate. And, indeed, she did "have that person arrested." By happy coincidence, his bail hearing has been set for three days after the election, by which time he will have served his purpose. These two videos – the Islamophobic one and the Obamosexual one – bookend the remarkable but wholly deserved collapse of the president's re-election campaign.
You'll recall that a near month-long attempt to blame an obscure YouTube video for the murder of four Americans and the destruction of U.S. sovereign territory climaxed in the vice-presidential debate with Joe Biden's bald assertion that the administration had been going on the best intelligence it had at the time. By then, it had been confirmed that there never had been any protest against the video, and that the Obama line that Benghazi had been a spontaneous movie review that just got a little out of hand was utterly false. The only remaining question was whether the administration had knowingly lied or was merely innocently stupid. The innocent-stupidity line became harder to maintain this week after Fox News obtained State Department emails revealing that shortly after 4 p.m. Eastern, less than a half-hour after the assault in Benghazi began, the White House situation room knew the exact nature of it.
