I've gotten more than a few emails wondering what I thought about the CBS News-Benghazi hullabaloo so I guess I better comment about it. My reluctance stems from a now core belief not to feed the insanity inside the right wing bubble. Give them a shining example of how lying about Benghazi is rampant and they will...continue to lie about Benghazi. Why? Because they are adolescents.
Besides, I think Bill Maher did a much better job of summing it all up than I ever could.
“He told a story about Benghazi and the night the s—- went down that was very damning to Obama. And of course, Fox News and the National Review and all the right-wing outlets said, ‘Hey! You gotta watch this!’” Maher said.
Maher read a tweet from the National Review’s Jonah Goldberg that said the segment “corroborates” with Fox News’s reporting.
“It sure does, ‘cause it turned out to be total bulls—-!” Maher said
Maher then asked why there haven’t been retractions from the conservative media who promoted the interview, after it turned out to be a false account.
It will never cease to amaze me how people get sucked into this crap purely based on their emotions and pathological hatred of the president and anyone to the left of the 1 yard line on the right side of the field.

Yes, some people did buy his story, including conservatives. Personally, I wondered why we hadn't heard anything about his claims before and decided to wait for the rest of the story before reaching a conclusion. Apparently I was not alone. How many of your conservative commentors made a claim based on his story? To my knowledge, the answer is zero.
Here's the thing: How many conservatives (of the ones who initially bought his story) still claim his story is true? None that I know of.
How many leftists still claim Obama did not lie? Markadelphia, for one.
When we discover something is wrong, we correct. You do not.
