Lindsey Graham: Hillary Clinton 'Got Away With Murder' In Benghazi

[kpete]

Source: Huffington Post

Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-S.C.) has upped his already harsh rhetoric against outgoing Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, claiming that she "got away with murder" in the Benghazi, Libya, attack that killed Ambassador Chris Stevens and three other Americans.

"I haven't forgotten about Benghazi. Hillary Clinton got away with murder, in my view," Graham said on Fox News Monday evening, speaking to Greta Van Susteren. "She said they had a clear-eyed view of the threats. How could you have a clear-eyed view of the threats in Benghazi when you didn't know about the ambassador's cable coming back from Libya?"

He also threatened to block the nomination of former Sen. Chuck Hagel (R-Neb.) as President Barack Obama's next secretary of defense until outgoing Defense Secretary Leon Panetta testifies about the attack.

1. Lindsey is slime. That's all....

[lsewpershad]

19. Why

do people keep voting for this slime?

[Laurian]

25. I have relatives in South Carolina and they tell me

he's the reasonable politician from that state. Think about it....Nikki Haley, Jim Demint (now Tim Scott), Joe (you lie) Wilson....just to name the most well known dingbats. While I love Charleston and many of the barrier islands and beaches in South Carolina, the place is a teabag heaven, politically.

[NeoConsSuck]

64. South Carolina is the most backward state in the nation

Their elected officials prove this state is fundamentalist batshit crazy. They make Texas and the deep south states seem ultra progressive.

[Demeter]

32. He's an assassin of character

Mostly, his own.

[dbackjon]

2. Fuck you Lindsey - you miseable excuse for human excrement

Where is your exoriating Bush and Cheney for the Murders of 3,000 on 9/11?
For the Bush/Cheney murders of tens of thousands of Americans in Iraq?

[Politicalboi]

52. So true

How can Bush/Cheney not have to testify live for the world to see? Because they are Repukes.

[elleng]

3. What is WRONG with that 'man?'

[kardonb]

65. what is wrong ?

he is white , old , mysogynistic and a republican , thats whats wrong with him !

[gateley]

4. Lindsey has followed his pal McCain around the bend. Whacko.

Edit: Misspelled Lindsey's name. Why I bothered to correct it is beyond me.

[MrYikes]

77. LOL that was funny, thank you for cheering up my morning.

[Walk away]

5. Lindsey Graham is a terrified little rabbit of a man who will say anything....

in order not to be primaried. I would send $100 to any teabagger who takes him on!

[TwilightGardener]

6. He is being absolutely ridiculous now.

I approved of having Clinton testify about what she knew and what she learned--that was her job. Beyond that, she is done. She was not to blame. It's over. Goober Graham can't let it go, even though it's proving to be a losing issue. And if he wanted Panetta to testify, he could have requested that months ago--not two days before Hagel's confirmation hearings. So that, too, is bullshit.

[Kalidurga]

7. Dear Lindsey words have meanings.

Murder has a specific meaning and it doesn't apply to the SOS. Thank you, I expect you will be clarifying your language soon.

[louis-t]

23. Yes, he will walk it back shortly.

[ronnie624]

73. He would almost have to.

Even though he's a wingnut from Hell, I can't believe he doesn't regret making such a bizarre remark.

[geardaddy]

8. Fuck off Graham

you fuckwit.

[cabot]

9. He's an ass

What a bloody moran!

[sinkingfeeling]

10. So, tell me Lindsey, what did Bush/Cheney/Rice get away with?

[Ian Iam]

12. Let's not forget Rumsfeld

And those in the "news" media who aided and abetted the lot of them!

[JoePhilly]

21. Lindsey HELPED them do it ... he is an ACCOMPLICE.

[GoCubsGo]

11. You're still getting primaried, you disgusting, little turd.

The people of your state can't stand you, and attacking Hillary Clinton and President Obama until you are blue in the face isn't going to change that, you asshole.

[reflection]

13. Lindsey, Lindsey, Lindsey.

You should work more on the content of your argument and less on the volume. Using harsh words in lieu of strong ideas will not make your assertions resonate any better.

PS: Hillary whipped your boys' asses up and down the street. Rub some dirt on it, the sting will eventually go away.

[WHEN CRABS ROAR]

14. Ask him how he would have handled it.

[Auntie Bush]

15. First Lindsey was after her husband...now he's after Hillary! What a gutter boy! Hate him!

There hasn't been ONE SINGLE thing the Obama has done that Lindsay has approved.

[healthnut7]

16. What idiots!!!

I wish one time when one of these Repugs say this, someone tells it like it is.
I would say, yes it is sad that on her watch 4 people died but by going into Irag, knowing they had no
business doing that, over 4000 people died on their watch and by their watch I mean republicans........
I tell you, my neck gets a good workout every day by shaking my head at how dimwitted they really are!!!!!

[vlyons]

17. This man is disgusting!

The GOP is not only the party of stupid, it's also the party of ugly.

... and the party of vulgar
... and hatred

you DUers can add your own adjectives at will

[beerandjesus]

18. Wow, what happened to Lindsey's soul?

Wait, maybe it's what I stepped in the other day, and had to scrape off my shoe.....

[liberal N proud]

20. And what sorts of crime against humanity has Lindsey committed as Senator?

I want this slime to go away.

[Blue_Tires]

22. go after him for slander...

[Purveyor]

24. "threatened to block the nomination of Hagel"... OH but wait! I thought that the filibuster agree-

ment Reid orchestrated with McConnell prevented such "holds"on nominees?

[earthside]

26. Or to rephrase ....

“George W. Bush got away with murder in my view. He said they had a clear-eyed view of the threats. How could you not have a clear-eyed view of the threats from al Qaida when you received a briefing a month before September 11 titled "bin Laden Determined to Strike in US”?

Lindsey Graham is a disgrace as a human being and a U.S. Senator.

[olddad56]

27. Not true, but the Bush Crime Family got away with several hundred thousand murders in Iraq.

[indepat]

28. Lindsay F*kin' Graham: what do you think junior and Cheney got away with in Iraq

by starting a pre-emptive war in seeming violation of international conventions?

[FiveGoodMen]

29. Bin Ladin Determined To Strike in US

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bin_Ladin_Determined_To_Strike_in_US

[Gregorian]

30. Even if she did, what would that make George Bush?

Nobody is so stupid that they could play the Lindsey Graham game without feeling embarrassed for themselves.

Truly pitiful.

[lotsofsnowplease]

31. LOSER says what?

Poor poor Lindsay. He is just a jealous man with an ego.

[Dawson Leery]

33. Hundreds of thousands are dead due to George W. Bush.

[stopbush]

34. If you haven't yet decided that Lindsey Graham isn't worth taking seriously,

now would be the time.

[Cha]

35. Fuck you, lindsey. No nothing pigshit.

[kestrel91316]

36. Lindsey Graham = filthy, heavily used asswipe

[Cha]

37. Fox Screws lets lindsey get away with "murder" everytime he opens his

damn mouth.

lindsey graham and john stupid mccain.. what a pair of twits the goplutocratic propaganda machine have going for them.

[AAO]

38. Lying traitorous bastard!

[peace13]

39. Lindsey you and your war mongering friends got away with murder in Iraq...

let's talk. That is the tip of the ice burg for you but we can start there!

[redstatebluegirl]

40. They are terrified of Hillary!

They know they cannot beat her in 16 and they may lose the house in 14. Their only recourse is to trash her, won't work but they will try....

[mountain grammy]

41. The man's a United States' Senator, and should think before he speaks. Shameful rhetoric.

[alp227]

42. F loony lindsey. Mike malloy has a more rational review

of Clinton/benghazi

How precisely is that of any relevance?

[chelsea0011]

45. That's all he can do. Slime someone who could be POTUS,

because he will never attain that status.

[libdem4life]

46. I'm with Stephen Colbert...think he looked for his balls and discovered they were in Hillary's

briefcase. So, it's an offense lesser than murder he's upset about, IMHO.

[Beacool]

47. Did he mean it literally or figuratively?

One has to ask, with this crowd you never know.

BTW Lindsey, go screw yourself!!! How many people died in Iraq and continue to die in Afghanistan thanks to the botched Republican wars? Did you say at the time that Powell and Rice got away with murder? I thought not........

Hypocritical SOB!!!

[flying-skeleton]

48. Graham is a Slimeball of the highest order

[LaPera]

49. Nope, Republican Senator Lindsey Graham is speaking in his usual partisan manner-

as well as the partisan republican majority in congress that refused to even give the least amount of adequate funding for embassy security and it's needs that were absolutely requested & even begged for by Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, a Democrat, to adequately fund the embassy security needs abroad. -

However, the Republicans purposely ignored the democratic Secretary of State request and the fact that security funding for the embassy was indeed cut far below the proper needs and past funding under republican administrations....

Yet still the republicans want to blame someone, anyone in this democratic administration. First it was President Obama, then Susan Rice, now it's Hillary Clinton.

Republican Senator Lindsey Graham obviously wants the blame put on Ms. Clinton - offering his outrageous statement accusing SoS Clinton of 'murder'- Yes, this is fact. "Getting away with murder'" is how Senator Lindsey Graham framed it....These are slanderous unfounded despicable accusations that Republican Graham is directing at the person who just may be the democratic nominee for president in 2016.

Coincidence, I don't think so Slimy Republican Graham.

[Zoeisright]

50. Fuck you to hell, Lindsay.

Senate.

He's a joke, a laughingstock, an asshole.

[BigDemVoter]

56. That damned QUEEN, Lindsay Graham, can shove his crazy ideas up his BUTT. . . .

where his idiotic pea-brain head is wedged.

[HangOnKids]

58. Between his pea brain and John McCains butt plug

I'm not sure there is room for any more crazy in LG's ass.

[dhill926]

57. prove it....

ya fucking douchebag.....

[mechtech]

59. Lindsey is getting away with murder...

Lindsey is getting away with murder pretending to be a serious US senator...
The entire GOP representation in Congress and the statehouse would love to see slavery reinstalled and just one flag flying over its capitol building…

[Dustlawyer]

60. Just spewing shite to try and bring down the next POTUS before she is elected in 4 years!

What a piece of shite!

[Lifelong Protester]

61. Put a muzzle on this guy

Jeez-o-pete, disagreement is one thing, slander is another.

[struggle4progress]

62. As the 2014 campaign begins, Graham seeks to solidify his support among S Carolina's wackadoodles

by jumping and shrieking and hurling feces at the out-going Secretary of State

[FSogol]

66. Can't the Senate vote to censure Graham?

How many votes does that need?

[davidpdx]

67. Little Lindsey having a piss fit

[Samantha]

[murielm99]

71. Isn't it a shame that someone can't

slap the shit out of him and get away with it? He surely deserves it.

[Hekate]

72. And so it begins... Remember when Bill & Hillary were alleged to have murdered their friend?

Can't remember the poor man's name, but it was one of the rankest smears of the Clinton Administration coming from the Vast Right Wing Conspiracy.

Look for people like Lindsey Graham to start spewing that bile again.

[Tom Ripley]

74. Pitching a hissy fit
