Benghazi: Democrats leave the hearing before the Victims’ families testify

September 19, 2013

  This is going to be a short post because I am so outraged about this story and because it is so disrespectful and outrageous that it speaks for itself and my commentary is not needed.

  During today’s hearing on the Benghazi terrorist attack which left Chris Stevens, Glen Doherty, Sean Smith, and Tyrone Woods dead most of the Democrats present walked out of the hearing before hearing the testimony from the victims’ family members. The only two Democrats who had enough respect to listen to the family members of Sean Smith and Tyrone Woods were Elijah Cummings and Jackie Speier.

  I like to think they left in shame, but they simply do not have any.

    And liberals like to claim tha they are more caring than conservatives. How do these people look themselves in the mirror I will never understand. If we had a real media these people would be mince meat by morning.

    These insufferable self serving- make that Obama serving- despicable sorry excuses for humans have their marching orders from the emporer with no clothes. May they all meet in hell.

      It sure seems like this was planned and if it was there is no doubt where their marching orders came from. Hell is too good for them.

    A classic example of why people need to stop listening to what these people say and watch what they do instead. Actions speak louder than rhetoric. If the parties had been reversed this would have been the lead story on every news show this evening. I don’t even have to check to know this wasn’t mentioned by any mainstream media outlet. Utterly shameful.

      Amen! We have to start judging people by what they do and not what they say. The MSM will not cover this, but then again they are ignoring the whole story. If the situation was reversed it would be quite a different story.

    Here is what I wrote to my useless Representative;

    Congresswoman Matsui, While I know this will only be read by an unpaid intern, and never passed up the chain, you are still MY representative, MY public servant. I want to tell you how disgusted I am with your friends and fellow Democrats who walked out on the hearings of the murder of 4 Americans today. The president has been so moved by a disorderly conduct arrest in Boston, an adult woman called a name on radio, and a kid shot in a fight in Florida that he took national time to make a big issue of each item.
    But your Democrat friends in Congress didn’t have any time or use for the families of murdered Americans in Benghazi who wanted to tell their story. After all, all the Democrats want to talk about is a lie about a YouTube video. As you friend Hilary says “who cares”.
    You and your party should be ashamed.
    Regretfully, Peter Booher

      Well said! I will be interested in seeing the response but you are right, it is just going to be a form letter because these people really do not care what we have to say.

      It is at the point now where they actually believe their own lies and because of this they cannot see that we know the truth.

    This story makes me ill. Anyone who showed such disrespect that they would leave the hearing before the testimony of the families truly has no shame. It is sickening to watch.

    Those poor Democrats! The truth hurts doesn’t it? I know had I been the one giving a testimony as those 2 parents were going to do, I probably would have told them that I pay their salaries and to sit down, shut up and listen to what I have to say. They OWE those grieving parents that much respect, I would think. However, they have been trained well with what they see in the White House. As usual, they are above the law, just as their Dear Leader. I wonder how the media will spin this, IF they report on it at all? I do not care much for Elijah Cummings, but I have to give him credit for not walking out. The other person that stayed, I do not know anything about, but apparently, he has a soul and feelings and enough respect to stay and hear them out. This is what we get for putting a piece of crap in OUR HOUSE! Maybe next time, people will vote for someone qualified, instead of voting color (to show how non-racist they were). There I said it, it made them feel good and the sad thing is Obama has done more harm than any other president for race relations. Next time voting comes up for any of these “walk-outs” we should remember this with who we want to be in Congress.

      I despise Elijah Cummings and I would bet that if he were not the ranking Democrat on the Committee that he would have walked out as well. I think he knew how bad it would look if he left, the others simply do not care and I believe somewhere in the dark recesses of their hearts they feel a little guilt and could not bear to listen to what the families had to say.

    More deplorable is the lack of coverage of the enormous revelations that received zero coverage. I devoted the day to it. Apparently few of the big time conservative bloggers had better things to do. Drudge? Where are you on this one.

      You hit it! I keep asking how this all can this happen. A scientist would say, where is the variable? What is changed? IT IS THE MEDIA! How did Travon go on for months and months, while the murder of the white Australian by 3 “bored” blacks gets no coverage? IT IS THE MEDIA!
      There have always been bad players, but only recently has the left wing MSM been in control of the truth.

        Bunker, when you have nothing to stand on, you try and cover up or ignore it. You sure as hell cannot justify what happened yesterday. This is their way, to just walk away and let the media come up with a good reason why they did. This is what they are doing, what total pieces of crap they all were to do that. I hope that people find out about it other than on the blogs, but I am not holding my breath.
