Sarah Palin spits venom on Fox News over Benghazi emails: "There is no moral compass there in this administration, there isn't a moral compass in our mainstream media. It's a corrupt mainstream media." Update!

Click snarl for video.

There are the usual attacks here which we all have heard ad nauseum from this lunatic, but then she REALLY goes off on a rant concerning some recently released e-mails concerning the attacks at Benghazi, which seem to indicate that it was being called an "attack" and not a "protest" essentially while it was still taking place. (Remember the GOP talking point here is that the administration downplayed the potential terrorism angle because they are trying to convince the American people that we have defeated Al Qaeda. A claim NOT supported by the evidence by the way.)

First Greta Van "It sucks to have to interview this crazy lady again" Susteren tees it up by introducing the newly released e-mails, which serves as raw meat for the wailing Wendigo of Wasilla.

"It's atrocious, it's appalling, and yet it's not surprising. There is no moral compass there in this administration, there isn't a moral compass in our mainstream media. It's a corrupt mainstream media. What breaks my heart about all this, besides the loss of four brave Americans through this tragedy, is that we have our troops, we have our sons and daughters overseas, fighting for that freedom of the press in America. And yet there is abuse of that freedom of the press. Where the press gets out there and they think that they're free to lie to the American people about what's going on. In the meantime we have six thousand of our troops who have lost their lives in Iraq and Afghanistan in these recent years, fighting to protect our freedoms here in America, our First Amendment rights, and it..it absolutely breaks my heart. Perhaps I'm the wrong person to ask to comment on such an issue..um..when I..I have loved ones over there in war zones, and Greta I just think it's absolutely appalling. This more than anything else in the Obama administration, that they tried to pull the wool over the American public eyes until these e-mails came out tonight. Trying to pretend like it was something other than what the facts show that it actually was in Benghazi."

I have transcribed this rant, but to be honest I really have not done it justice, as Palin was absolutely rabid in her response, and almost literally spitting venom with every word.

My first response after watching this is an almost fatal hypocrisy overload that ANYBODY could possibly accuse the Obama administration of lying to the American people, and claim to be "appalled," after saying NOTHING during the Bush administration when they quite literally lied us into the very wars that she now condemns for killing six thousand American soldiers.

The e-mails that she and Greta are so worked up about can be seen here:

At 4:05 p.m. Eastern time, on September 11, an alert from the State Department Operations Center was issued to a number government and intelligence agencies. Included were the White House Situation Room, the office of the Director of National Intelligence, and the FBI. 

"US Diplomatic Mission in Benghazi Under Attack" -- "approximately 20 armed people fired shots; explosions have been heard as well. Ambassador Stevens, who is currently in Benghazi, and four COM (Chief of Mission/embassy) personnel are in the compound safe haven." 

At 4:54 p.m., less than an hour later, another alert: "the firing... in Benghazi...has stopped...A response team is on site attempting to locate COM (embassy) personnel." 

Then, at 6:07 p.m., State sent out another alert saying the embassy in Tripoli reported the Islamic military group "Ansar al-Sharia Claims Responsibilty for Benghazi Attack"... "on Facebook and Twitter and has called for an attack on Embassy Tripoli."

However all of those communications took place during the frantic gathering of data that immediately followed the attacks. The administration would have been wrong to have made a declarative statement about what took place before they had gathered more intelligence.

However the President DID make the famous "Act of Terror" remarks in the two days after the attack, and said THIS only fourteen hours later:

"You're right that this is not a situation that was -- exactly the same as what happened in Egypt and my suspicion is that there are folks involved in this who were looking to target Americans from the start."

So the idea that the President was trying to "cover up" an act of terror by focusing on the rioting over that notorious video is ridiculous.  However as newer evidence now suggests NOT blaming Al Qaeda for it was definitely the smart decision:

But after five weeks of investigation, U.S. intelligence agencies say they have found no evidence of Al Qaeda participation.

I have said this before, but it bears repeating, if we were NOT currently in this contentious election cycle, nobody would be freaking out about the time it took the Obama administration to get the facts together! It is only because of the political opportunity that it presents to the Republicans that we are even discussing this at all.

And there is simply NO comparison between how this administration, and the Bush administration,  has dealt with providing facts to the American people or manipulated the media. Only a crazy person would give George W. Bush a pass while slamming President Obama.

Oh wait, she just did.

Update: If this weren't bad enough the Lunatic from Lake Lucille has followed it up with a similar rant on Facebook accusing the President of "shuck and jive." Oh yeah, nothing racist about that!
