I'm sure you're already aware that the right wing websites are blowing up over this sound bite.

It's true...no lives were lost in the intervention against Qaddafi.

And that's not stopping the right from losing their minds...again...over Benghazi.

What matters here is how this plays out to the cheap seats.

My personal feeling is that from the reaction to her recent remarks on Nancy to Bernie to Libya, Ms. Clinton should consider choosing her words more carefully.

[Mika]

1. Yeah. She should choose which country to bomb more carefully too. eom

[Waiting For Everyman]

2. You'd think that the whole Benghazi ordeal

might have indelibly etched in her head, to always be very careful not to say exactly the wrong thing on that subject. But no. She's too competent for that!

[Kalidurga]

3. She should choose her friends more carefully as well.

Some of them like Leonard Dunn haven't been all that careful about not killing people despite the ironic name of his company, Health Management Associates.

4. It bends on ones definition of "blowback"

Or ones spinning of the definition.

Take that the way one will.

[blm]

5. Apparently the RW propaganda machine knows how to get lefties to spread their lies for them, too.

Fer chrissakes, people here are even using twitchy as a reliable source. Then they pretend that they are NOT taking her words out of context.

6. Which is kinda like bragging that the hangman survived the execution.

[Lizzie Poppet]

7. Yet another revealing display of lack of grace under pressure.

Gaffe after gaffe...

For someone who wants to be president not to recognize such a statement, regardless of its correctness in context, as handing your opposition a loaded gun is inexcusable. Even more so than her several other recent blunders, this one is about as "bumper-sticker-friendly" as you could imagine. It's perfect fodder for the "Benghazi!" screechers.

#itshertime...to continue stepping in it.

[Warren Stupidity]

8. This is gonna cost Clinton the rightwing Clinton hating

republican vote.

[Agschmid]

12. Yup.

[timlot]

9. "What difference does it make"...

No really, I saw that live and I knew she f*cked up. I knew she was talking about the Libyan intervention, but it so stupid to say that. Sucks but there is nothing to do but ride out the headlines until the next controversy.

[pinebox]

10. She needs to step down, there's something seriously wrong with her

and I don't mean that to be disparaging but I seriously think that there is something wrong at this point.
How do you say this after being absolutely dogged day and night for years every second about Benghazi from the Right?
Something is seriously wrong people.....
Her recent comments about AIDS & Bernie and now this?

[blm]

15. Because the comment was ABOUT Benghazi. It was answering a question about the overthrow

of Quaddafi where US military acted in the deep background, as peripheral players.

But, hey, why let CONTEXT get in the way of RW propaganda effort.

[LonePirate]

11. The cheap seats? That comment had several DUers up in arms despite its accuracy.

People hear and believe what they want to believe regardless of the actual specific details.

[Jester Messiah]

13. This is our "grown-up in the room?"

Technicalities aside, a freshman poli-sci student would know better than to provide an opening like that. What the hell is she even thinking anymore?

[tk2kewl]

14. "Hillary kept us safe"

"George Bush kept us safe"
