“Surprise, surprise. The National Gun Manufacturers Association aka the NRA wants more guns in schools.”
“Republicans in congress have stooped to a new low. In the past they just represented deceit, imorality, and treachery. Now they fight relentlessly for the most greedy, and the right to bear arms for the most hideous mass murderers this country has ever known. They are an ebarrassment to the ideals this country was founded on.”
“The report concludes the Benghazi incident was a failure of leadership. That’s right, by both the President and the Secretary of State. The places where the buck is supposed to stop. The White House is also guilty of the lies that were told. According to the report there never was a protest. Obviously somebody had to create that story and then repeat it. Wait that was the President, among others, that repeated it for two weeks. Obama’s reference the day after to terrorism, if you read the transcript, was obviously to 9/11/2001, not 2012.”
“We lost four lives in Benghazi, and 20 6- and 7-year-old lives at Sandy Hook elementary. Where is John McCain’s outrage over that? Mental illness must be addressed beginning with congress by standing them in front of a TV camera and describe their idea of an assault rifle. Bottom line: How many children must a hunting rifle be able to kill in a minute before it becomes an insult rifle?”
“The constant coverage of the Newtown incident is a prime example of how the media messes with the publics’ minds. Folks are becoming paranoid, children crying and frightened about attending classes. All in the name of sensationalism and ratings. The best thing the media could do right now is try to play down the incident. Let those affected by it grieve in peace and the rest of the country get on with their lives and festivities of the Season.”
“Be alert....the Socialist facists are coming for our guns. One trained school employee, armed with a .22, could have stopped the Sandy Hook shooter. An armed pilot on each of four airplanes would have stopped 9/11 cold. This isn’t about the slaughter of innocents. This is about the ever expanding reach of government into our everyday lives.”

VENT # 3: “The report concludes the Benghazi incident was a failure of leadership."
A review of the Benghazi attack on the U.S. Consulate in Libya faults "grossly" inadequate security and leadership failures. The Accountability Review Board report, was led by Former ambassador Thomas Pickering and Adm. Mike Mullen, former chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff. After the findings (of intelligence information) were released, three State Department officials resigned.
“No protest” took place outside the compound before the attack and it was a terrorist attack. But, Obama administration officials blamed protests over an anti-Islam film, in the days following the attack. U.N. Ambassador Susan Rice made the same claims in appearances on several TV talk shows.

Accuracy, there is no doubt the CIA gave out mis-information.
So did the Bush administration.
The CIA gave out mis-information because it is much easier to catch the guilty terrorists if they are sitting in a cafe laughing at the stupid Americans who have no idea what happened ( so they think ) than to let them know we know what happened and who did it.
In the latter event they would go into hiding like Osama Bin Lauden did and would flee to the protection of Pakistan and we would likely never get them.
There are times when it is good for the government to put out mis-information.
And, a whole lot of blame for the success of the attack lies with Republicans who cut the budget for Embassy security twice in the years previous to the attack.
So the right wingers cut the budget for Embassy Security and then blame Obama when there weren't enough Marines to protect the Embassy.

6th venter -- also known as Leon -- you said " “Be alert....the Socialist facists are coming for our guns. One trained school employee, armed with a .22, could have stopped the Sandy Hook shooter."
Oh yeah? There were armed men at the site of the shooting in Tuscon where Giffords was shot and people were killed.
One armed employee? What if the armed person is in the east wing of the school and the shooter starts in the west wing?
What if the shooter shoots the one armed employee first before he ( the armed employee ) even knows something is happening?
I am NOT anti-gun. We have our guns too. But the problem is not guns ... or the need for more guns. In order to have a good chance at preventing anyone from shooting up a school there would have to be armed guards in each hallway and in each classroom. They wouldn't be schools anymore, they would be prisons.
No amount of guns would stop an insane killer.
The question is ... why do we seem to have so much mental illness in this country?
NONE of the recent mass shooters have been sane.
Laws won't stop the criminals or the insane.
And, you need to make up your mind. Are the bad guys Socialists or Facists? Two different things?

Benghazi,Libya: Stonewalled: Libya authorities are blocking action against the Islamist suspected in the September attack on the U.S. Consulate in Benghazi. The FBI identified several suspects caught on surveilance cameras and passed the information onto Libyan police, but none have been arrested.

And some have fled abroad. Officials said Libyan authorities were reluctant to go after members Ansar al-Sharia, an Islamist group suspected in the attack that killed U.S. Ambasador Christopher Stevens and three other Americans.

When George W. Bush took the U.S. into two failed WARS, which took our attention away from major problems world wide,Libya and Syria, the Republican Congress cut 1/2 billion dollars from embassy security funding, this is where the blame starts.

Ventor #2: Applied the terms "deceit, imorality, and treachery" to Republicans. I guess he FORGOT(?) about President Clinton playing "Hide the cigar" while he was in the White House, with a woman that WASN'T HIS WIFE! He LIED ABOUT IT, and was impeached! But his party protected him, and overruled his impeachment.
Morons like yourself need to learn that BOTH SIDES are "dirty"....

When you are talking about a cigar, you have to smoke them before they kill someone.
