It’s too quickly dismissed by those trying to promote what has been considered sin for 2,000 years of Christianity, and thousands more of Judaism.

So let’s do some homework then. Here’s a search of the Time website for the last year for “kermit gosnell”. We find 1 article when the trial opens, March 18th, on page A17. Then complete silence until April 15th, when the only coverage is opinion articles about the coverage, one having the audacity to say it is being covered.

Nothing but opinion articles, 4 of them, until an actual news story on April 23rd, on page A11, when the judge threw out some charges. Five weeks of silence in an 8 week trial, when printing the details of what evidence was presented would put abortion in its worst light.

Just one more article on A13 a few days before the verdict. And the verdict article says it was on A12. Since I don’t get the NYT, I don’t know what was on the front page, but their site doesn’t note that.

Regardless, scant coverage, and only after Kirsten Powers, a left-leaning journalist, finally calls the media in general on this. This is not minutiae.

As to the governor cutting spending for some of this, going 17 years without an inspection is negligence on a huge scale, regardless of funding. Were there worse clinics, therefore? Shouldn’t that be news if true?

Planned Parenthood shuts up until the trial ends. Then calls it a victory for women. Not the women (and men) aborted, it wasn’t.

One obvious interpretation is that State and CIA were being careful NOT to say things that they did not yet know for certain, and probably did not want to tip off terrorists about what they actually knew (the latter has actually been stated by then CIA director David Petraeus).

So that is why Obama and the White House speeches can be most easily explained as a CYA spin scenario. ‘Cause I’m not seeing how the “misdirect the terrorists” works here. Obama gives a WH garden speech noting “terrorists” were at work immediately after. Few but pundits listen to those speeches but it gets him on record with what they knew to be the case. Then Obama, Rice, Clinton and the press sec push the video story hard. Why? Because they want *that* to stick. And that they screwed up calling off support because they didn’t have 4 months to waffle about it like in the bin Laden takedown.

That it’s the US fault is the narrative they like, it’s domestic, its non-scary. You can allude to your pretend story of Muslim-phobia on the right when you point at the video. And even then when the cards fall out (as they have), Obama has an “out”. “He” said it was terrorism and only his Letterman remarks contradict that.

It’s also complete hokum. The problem with the video story is the video was not the cause of even actual demonstrations in Egypt and elsewhere. It was the pretext. Ordinarily the anti-US riots are pretexts for a local tyrant needing to bolster domestic support, deflect blame for local conditions with anger aimed elsewhere is a common useful tactic used by Middle East rulers. However, the proximity of the “video” protest with the attack suggest that the cause (not again the pretext) of the protests was to provide cover for the setup phone/comm chatter for the actual Libyan attack. Obama and company following the explanation that the video is cause not pretext of cover is perfidy in plain sight (or possibly when he says “there is no there there” he means the “there” is the seat in the Oval office has no “there” and is just occupied by an empty suit).

If you want to make the claim the video and other things were cover for the actual investigation and the chase for the real bad guys. OK. Produce your results from that chase? Tell us how that worked out for you?

I see no realistic call for impeachment. Impeachment is tried in the Senate which has a Democratic majority. There will be no conviction, just a massive waste of time, money, and ink.

He’s an idiot or a scoundrel. But he’s your guy. Still feel good about that?

Odd that the WaPo didn’t bother to go to the transcript: http://www.whitehouse.gov/the-press-office/2012/09/12/statement-president-attack-benghazi

Or, simply check to look at the video — was this more than 24 hours after the attack?

And if what you say about the governor is true, then I find it more than ironic. I find it shameful. Still doesn’t change the fact that inconvenient politics caused this story to be ignored.

Do you really not understand why the left thinks this is a hypocritical, manufactured controversy to score political points? Perhaps you would prefer that the White House and State and CIA have offered pages of speculation which could then have been used against them for months if not years by the GOP.

Honestly, the current crop of republican so-called leadership is the worst in my lifetime, and I lived though Whitewater, the fabricated Vince Foster scandal, and the swift-boating lies that prevented John Kerry from defeating the worst American president ever. Republicans don’t work on substantive issues, and they focus all their effort on attacking democrats and demonizing historically vulnerable citizens, such as women, children, minorities, gays, students, the poor and the elderly.

Talk about scoundrels.

Apparently one can in fact carry more than one mag?

Yes I have reloaded. For my .22 I have a reloader and it takes a few seconds to snap in 10 more rounds. The dem. rep apparently thought one those “high capacity” magazines were used once (!) they had to be replaced so in just a few years those magazines would be out of use.

Have you ever reloaded a magazine?

It would be nice if otherwise good Christians would join us in working to save the planet, instead of cheering the destruction of human habitability.

* Accuracy guaranteed, at least as much as the statement attributed to Obama.
