Like most Right Wing nuts Sarah Palin is VERY excited that it is Benghazi Day!

Palin hobnobbing with rich white people while her ghostwriters labor to make her sound intelligent.

This from her ghostwritten Facebook page posted yesterday:  

Tomorrow’s hearings on Benghazi will define the Obama presidency if the truth is finally allowed to be told. I encourage everyone to tune in and hear the revelations that are long overdue. We’ll also see whether the president’s reliable lapdog cheerleaders in the media will continue to cover up for him and in so doing disgrace their profession. The following link is to something I posted way back on October 25th of last year asking questions that we should have had answers to long ago.

(P.S. If you want to check the link the Lunatic by Lake Lucille is referring to you can click my link at the top, but I am confident most of you have read it, or some version of it, in other places on the net.)

Today is a big day for the Right Wing as they have put a lot of their eggs in the Benghazi basket.

I have read their past version of evidence, which has been mocked by just about everybody including Stephen Colbert just last night, and have been unimpressed as most of their argument seems to hinge on a number of misunderstandings as to what kinds of support were available, to protect Ambassador Stevens.

I have no idea EXACTLY what NEW "evidence" the Republicans are planning to put forward today, apparently based on some testimony from a few people who claim to have been involved in the decision making that terrible day, as they have not been very forthcoming with those not on their side.

Though apparently they had no problem sharing the evidence with Fox News employee Mike Huckabee, who claimed the following:

 "I believe that before it’s all over, this president will not fill out his full term," he said. "I remind you, as bad as Watergate was, because it broke the trust between the president and the people, no one died. This is more serious because four Americans did in fact die.”

Interesting that a man who no longer has any security clearance, and holds no political office, has seen this evidence, but others in the actual Senate and Congress have not.

If this is indeed "bigger than Watergate" I cannot imagine how anybody would have managed to keep the evidence under wraps.

However Salon, which has been following this pretty carefully has little doubt their evidence is mythological, and not fact based:

Right-wing media are using a congressional hearing to push new myths about the Obama administration’s response to the September 11, 2012 attacks on a U.S. diplomatic facility in Benghazi, Libya. In fact, these myths are discredited by previous congressional reports and testimony, which show that the politicized nature of the hearings come from right-wing media and Congressional Republicans, that the military could not have rescued personnel from the second attack, that the administration was in constant communication at all levels during the attacks, and that the intelligence community believed there was a link to an anti-Islam video at the time of the attacks.

In my opinion, and the opinion of most rational people, this is a rather desperate attempt to smear former Secretary of State, and possibly future unbeatable presidential candidate, Hillary Clinton.

They used these same attack against the President during his bid for reelection, and it did them no good, but they apparently have NOTHING else to work with, so they are going to beat this dead horse until it finally whinnies for them.

Anyhow I have little confidence that anything the Republican trot out today will have any real impact, but we shall soon see for ourselves as the hearings are happening right now. (If Fox News is to be believed.)

Update: Yeah this about sums it up.
