I do not know the sites for repubs. Wonder what they are saying this morning.

Are there any places similar to DU where repubs can comment? I wonder what they are saying about the so called 'hearing' yesterday. Is there a repub spin?

I won't even link to them. If you should happen to stumble upon one of these sites you'll wish you hadn't.

2. On Fox website you would be hard pressed to find the story and you would think: "what hearing"?

Even though they covered all but the last two hours of it all day yesterday?

What does that tell you and what should that tell all Fox zombies?

The story is front and center, with the expected spin: "she lied", and the hearing "provided a chilling glimpse of her soul".

13. Front and center, now, is another propaganda story about a parent complaining about something,

something about Clinton and some "notes" he made....the hearing itself not much coverage....the big clue was when Fox piled their coverage on TV as prime time approached.

Although that will soon disappear also...much like their general smears that go nowhere.

"Dear FRiends, We need your continuing support to keep FR on the air."

That is about where they are at. I believe that quote to be written by the owner of that immoral cesspool.

to make a there there...

But she did not say either of those things. Instead she she hedged, repeatedly lawyering her answer, stating that she felt that the video definitely contributed to the general attack-readiness of the people, that people were definitely enraged by it, and that she had saved lives by “speaking out” about it. She also, amazingly, lamented how “unfortunate” it is the Republicans had “dismissed the importance” of the video. But again. Hillary. Clinton. Democrat.


Notice no direct quote or exchange of dialog...


What passes for "journalism" in wong wing world would get you kicked out of high school.

So don't waste your time looking... the GOP have nothing but shit all over their faces.

10. I just browsed there for a few minutes and I only found one thread

referencing McCains take on the committee's viability.

That thread got @ 8 responses. Otherwise it's pretty much crickets near as I can tell.

The CC is the same - one thread that's really just talking about DUers reactions.

2 sites isn't a consensus I'm sure.

They are pretty dead sites as far as I can tell. Not a lot of activity so maybe there's others that have bigger, more active participants.

.... the Right had its usual low-information nutjobs calling for her head.
The Middle had some of those and some saying stop the bs already.
The Left-of-Center was primarily concerned with the wasted time and money.

Than her conviction and imprisonment. For something...
The issue will never go away with the diehard nutjobs... no matter how many committees come up with nothing.

She lied about who attacked us just after it happened.

She did not use e-mails as often in 2012 and therefore she did not care about the diplomat

A government worker sent an email to her friend, neither of whom Clinton knows, who said she was not engaged in Libya,

She is an evil witch who had such power that she convinced Obama to support her position on Libya and then convinced every nation and then convinced the UN to support her position. And then refused to give any aid to those in Benghazi even tho they asked for it.
