It's obvious to me at this point that the reason why the Right is so touchy about this is they want people to forget about that movie trailer. The last thing they need is more bad PR that shows them to be...well...what they are:) Moreover, they simply can't stand the fact that the Obama administration has done a better job on international security than they have. They have been "proved wrong." Heavens! So, it's the classic redirect and lying which result in it somehow being all Obama's fault.
Unfortunately for Ron Johnson, he found out the hard way what happens when you fuck with Hilz.

Why does it matter? WHY DOES IT MATTER?
Inflaming the Middle East with a lie (that was known by the intelligence agencies that very same day) about a non-existent protest over a video that didn't have anything to do with anything DOESN'T MATTER???
And look at the B.S. comparison to "guys out for a walk". That's a complete non-sequitur and demonstrates that she was being dishonest in her testimony.
And yes, the whole "let the process finish" thing is an excuse. If they had to wait for the "process to finish", then they shouldn't be running to the networks to claim something as true when they (if the excuse were true) didn't know what the truth was!
Her excuse is quite frankly unbelievable. Here is why:
When there is a hot crisis happening, the person in charge needs to know the facts in a timely manner so that appropriate decisions can be made!
The full context only shows one of two things. Either how obvious her lying is, or how willing you are to suspend critical thinking to accept her self-refuting claims.
I find it amusing how information is disseminated inside the bubble:)

You mean the "bubble" known as the Voices In Your Head?
The only thing that Snopes article refutes is the idea that the administration was "watching a live video feed of the attack". I never claimed they were. Funny how you responded to something I didn't claim. (Are those Voices loud enough for you?)
But here's an interesting point from your own link:
rather, a single diplomatic security official was listening to an audio feed of events in Benghazi.
My point was that the administration knew there was no protest that same day but proclaimed that there was for days (and in Obama's case, weeks) afterwards.
FactCheck.org: Benghazi Timeline
The question won’t go away: Did President Obama and administration officials mislead the public when they initially claimed that the deadly Sept. 11 attack on the U.S. consulate in Benghazi began “spontaneously” in response to an anti-Muslim video?
The question surfaced again on Oct. 25 — more than six weeks after the incident — when government emails showed the White House and the State Department were told even as the attack was going on that Ansar al-Sharia, a little-known militant group, had claimed credit for it.

Hmm...why would they do that? Perhaps you wanted them to release all the classified material to the public immediately so we could have known then who exactly attacked them and why. Maybe we should release all the information we have now so we can let them know that we're on to them!
Check this out...from one of your trusted news sources...

Now what?
That was some great faux outrage from Hilz. Even with all the time she had to prep (and to let the hullabalou die down) it wasn't very convincing - to those that weren't already convinced.

Stop arguing with the damned Voices In Your Head.
Markadelphia used to care about American deaths overseas, until a democrat president is elected, now things like government covering their ass with regards to Americans dying overseas gets a Why Does It Matter, and Markadelphia apparently fully supports that excuse, or at minimum sees no problem with it whatsoever. Keep licking those donkey balls Mark - ideology trumps all. Your interpretation of the video is that Hillary Won the exchange, which is ironic as you claim to not like the win/lose of arguments.
Oh, yes, Mark. Being offended by the administration sending out Rice to tell what was already then known by anyone who was paying attention what were (to say the least) implausible stories is just the same as wanting release all classified info. Talk about presenting false choices. Especially when the group was already publicly claiming responsibility. Only a complete tool or an utter fool believes the administration was telling porkies in order to fool the terrorists, instead of Americans. The terrorists (or "militants" as she referred to them) who by the way are all free as jaybirds, and are apparently going to be held to the same level of responsibility as Madam Secretary, that is to say, zilch). BTW, I'd love to watch you call her "Hilz" to her face and watch her take you apart.
There's lies, damned lies, and stupid-ass lies, and guess what this administration specializes in. I just can't wait for Lurch to take over as mindless drone in chief of Foggy Bottom.
