The Benghazi Litmus Test

How can you tell if a Republican has gone off the deep end? Try this litmus test...

If you are a Republican who feels Benghazi was a tragic and regrettable incident involving violence against an American diplomatic mission abroad that was essentially the same as the numerous incidents of violence against American diplomatic missions that took place under the George W. Bush administration, then ... cool. We can (probably) have a rational conversation.

If you are a Republican who feels Benghazi was a deliberate betrayal of America by the dastardly Barack Hussein Obama who gleefully cackled and rubbed his hands as brave Americans died because he knowingly refused to save them, then ... you are a f***ing RWNJ and we have nothing further to discuss.

Which one are you?

If you are a progressive who believes that any but the most fringe minority believe option number two then you are just as whacked in the head.

If you are a progressive who believes in option number one you are a naive fool.

If you are a progressive who thinks that these are the only two ways to believe then you have perfectly demonstrated the creation of a straw man argument.

Like his hero, Barkie Obumbler, Markadelphia's a pyromaniac running amok in a field of strawmen, and calls it reasoned argument.
