Are there any Democratic Benghazi Truthers out there?

My recollection has been that it's only been Republicans and their media hacks pushing this *story*. So, how are Republicans going to get this into the mainstream without finding Democrats willing to parrot their lines? AFAIK not even any of the most regressive Blue Dogs are jumping on this bandwagon and there's even one (relatively) high-profile Republican Senator, Bob Corker (R-TN) who's come out and stated that he's (mostly- I imagine him saying "completely" probably would tank his approval numbers with the teabaggers) satisfied that his concerns have been addressed, most likely because, unlike most Republicans pushing this *story*, it sounds like he actually read the briefings, documents, etc. whereas most of the rest of them have been spending more time on Fox News and/or holding press conferences instead of doing their homework on the matter.

When will the Republicans get over their "Benghazi flu"? When and where is this madness going to end?

I'm very concerned and outraged

that he failed to send a representative to that briefing to break up a cover-up in progress!

THEY are "divisive"

How much time, energy, and money have people like her spent on campaigns against marriage equality and used it as a wedge issue in political campaigns?

People would care more

IF (as Jon Stewart mentioned), Republicans can provide some evidence of actual wrongdoing/coverup for political reasons. Of course IF everything Fox News tells us daily about how evil and/or incompetent Democrats was true, the party should have been reduced to a permanent minority- if not outlawed- years ago

Good

So, our experiment/flirtation with Austerity is over?

WTF?

She already testified. Of course, maybe having her there to testify over and over again will prove to most people just how much of a vendetta that they have against her. It will only probably make her seem more sympathetic to the average person.

Remember how Allen West once said that she had "Benghazi Flu?" Well, I think that Republicans have developed a severe case of "Benghazi Diarrhea"!

accountability is for Democrats!!

WTF is the point of all this?

He did something to help other people in need. His past has no bearing on what happened suffice it to say that he apparently made the right choice in this particular situation. Why does he need to have his past behavior/criminal activity dragged out? Disgusting IMHO.
