This is perhaps the SINGLE BEST MOMENT of the entire 11-hour Benghazi
hearing, aka “witch hunt.” This top Democrat took less than 2 minutes
to completely shut down Republicans.

Gowdy’s Select Benghazi Committee is a disaster.
Five Of The Republican Cabal's Craziest 'Benghazi Cover-Up' Conspiracy Theories
The 2012 attack on a U.S.
diplomatic mission in Benghazi, Libya, was viewed by some on the Right
as the subject of “the biggest cover-up in history” and a sign of the
coming apocalypse, so it came as no surprise that House Republicans
eventually organized a special committee to investiga... MORE

Carson Vows to Punish Liberal Colleges if He Can Steal the Job of Pretender
Carson wants to punish liberal colleges for teaching things he
doesn't approve of - "extreme political bias" - otherwise known as
facts.…
Carson has been pushing the meme that what he calls “political correctness” persecutes 'christians'. Now he has promised, if elected, to persecute liberals instead, the purveyors, he says, of that political correctness.Carson: “I actually have something I would use the Department of Education to do.”
Beck: “Would it be pack boxes for the State Department? The IRS?” (laughter).
Beck: Well I like that.
You mean defund jokes like Liberty University, which positively rakes in our tax dollars while it functions as a propaganda institute? No, of course not! He’s talking about “political correctness” here.
Political correctness is a Carson euphemism for rejecting persecution by the religio-wingnuts and its Republican lapdogs. If you decline Carson’s anti-constitutional insistence that some values are more equal than others, for example, you are guilty of political correctness.
Free speech? No, if all religions are not equal before the law, as Carson claims (though the Constitution insists they are), then why should the First Amendment’s guarantee of free speech extend to all?
After all, the religio-wingnuts have long been pushing the idea that it does not extend to some groups, like muslims, and even jews. This is a 'christian' country, they say, founded by and for 'christians'. Carson has already claimed that the Founding Fathers would reject a muslim president, even though they explicitly did accept the idea of a president of ANY religion.
Never mind any of that stuff the Founding Fathers actually said. We’ll just put new words in their mouths and David Barton can write all our “history” books.
It would seem Carson lost a “turn the other cheek” or two somewhere along the way. You would think if dog is telling him to run, he’d tell his candidate to read his bible first. You know, just because.
Even Thomas Jefferson, who had no time for miracles, admired jesus’ morality. Carson’s? Not so much, I think. The only way Carson gets Jefferson to agree with him is by putting words in his mouth, and he has shown he is perfectly willing to do that.
Carson, at every opportunity, shows himself to be a hater of all the ideals that make America unique in the world, of all the things the Founding Fathers held dear. In fact, by embracing the idea of muzzling free speech, Carson has shown himself to be less a lover of liberty than a lover of totalitarianism.
And here he is speaking out of both sides of his mouth at once.
He says he opposes Common Core right after revealing his plans for liberal colleges, because, you can be sure, of the Republican meme that the federal government, through Common Core, mandates what is taught. At the same time, Carson embraces the idea that the government should mandate what is taught by punishing them financially if they don’t teach Republican orthodoxy.
The problem is not, and has never been for conservatives like Carson, that Common Core mandates what is taught, but that it doesn’t mandate the right things, in other words, things like the idea that science is optional.

Senate Democrats Demand That RNC Pay Taxpayers Back For Benghazi Investigation
Reid called the panel a hit job on Hillary Clinton, “Former First Lady, United States Senator, and Secretary of State Hillary Clinton will testify before the so-called Benghazi Select Committee tomorrow. In recent weeks, it has become absolutely clear that this committee is nothing more than a political hit job on Hillary Clinton.”
On the Senate floor, Democratic Senate Leader Sen. Harry Reid summed up what this “investigation” has accomplished:
– Republicans have spent $4.7 million of taxpayer money to attack Secretary Clinton.
– Republicans have done little to investigate the Benghazi attacks.
House Republicans have used the tragic deaths of four innocent Americans and turned it into an appalling political farce. The very notion that an official House Committee was used as a political tool is inexcusable. It is even more disgraceful that nearly $5 million taxpayer dollars were spent on this political hit job.
Senate Democrats will continue to fight to get this sham of a committee disbanded. Weeks ago we sent a letter to Speaker John Boehner urging him to bring this disgraceful committee to an end. Today, Senate Democrats have sent a second letter to the Republican National Committee, requesting that it reimburse the American people for the Benghazi Committee’s expenses. That seems only fair since the so-called committee is clearly a Republican political organization.
Senate Democrats aren’t standing on the sidelines. They are demanding that the Republican National Committee pay the taxpayers back the millions of dollars that they have used for their political investigation of Clinton.
Getting the money back is not enough. The best thing that could happen would be for the political leaders to hear the calls of millions of Americans and launch an independent investigation into the illegal use of taxpayer funds for partisan political purposes by House Republicans.
I suspect that after Hillary Clinton knocks down the eight-hour spectacle of staged political theater that Republicans are planning, the House Select Committee on Benghazi will go off into a corner and die a slow political death.
Republicans need to be held accountable, and nothing less than a criminal investigation is enough. The House Republican abuse of power must stop.

Cruz and His Mad Scramble for the Hate Vote
Cruz picked up the endorsement of notorious bigot Sandy Rios,
wowed the haters at a Texas megacult, and won the teabagger caucus in
NC…
It’s a good time to be a hater in America. You have an entire political cabal devoted to catering to your hating, even though there aren’t
enough of you to elect even their best candidate to the highest office
in the land. In fact, never in the course of human history has so little
been owed by so few for so little.Sandy Rios herself has made the news before, as when she claimed being gay crashed Amtrak or called President Obama an atheist with muslim sympathies.
It is hard to make getting Sandy Rios on your side sound like an accomplishment, but this is the kind of talk Cruz loves, announcing on his campaign website that “Citing his strong commitment to wingnut delusions and respect for the fictional wingnut 'constitution'” that Sandy Rios has endorsed him for pretender:
“I am thrilled to have the support of three of the wingnuts’ delusion strongest voices for families, religious liberty and the unborn,” said Cruz. “We are running an aggressive grassroots campaign and their help engaging and motivating wingnut trolls gives our effort a great advantage.”So Cruz is proud to have the endorsement of a true hater like Rios, whose politics of exclusion are much like his own and his father’s.
Sandy Rios is the Director of Governmental Affairs for the unAmerican antiFamily Asshats, one of America’s largest, anti-family grassroots covens, and host of “Sandy Rios in the Morning on AFR Talk” which can be heard on nearly 200 stations through the unAmerican antiFamily Radio Network.
And Rios, as haters go, is a valuable endorsement with a large public profile. Rios made further headlines among progressives and liberals this spring when MSNBC, including Chris Matthews, had her on as a guest to discuss the supposed “religious freedom” legislation without disclosing her history of virulent rhetoric.
People for the American Way’s Right Wing Watch provides a full rundown of Rios’ hate speech, and it makes truly horrific reading. At a time when Republican candidates are scrambling for the hate vote, Rios’ endorsement lends credibility to the Cruz campaign and to Ted Cruz’s conservative bona fides.
Despite Lindsey Graham’s famous warning that the hate pool is limited, the hate vote is seen as critical by Republican pretender hopefuls. The Texas Tribune reports that Cruz joined five of his fellow hopefuls – Carson, Jeb, Fiorina, Santorum and Huckabee – in Texas to talk to a crowd of 6,000 at a baptist megacult Sunday, “lamenting the receding role of 'christianity' in public life and expressing alarm about growing threats to religious freedom”:
Among the hottest topics at the North Texas Pretender Forum was religious liberty, especially in light of the U.S. Supreme Court decision in June that legalized gay marriage in all 50 states. Cruz was the most vocal, recalling at length a rally he held earlier this year in Iowa spotlighting people who believe they were discriminated against for religious reasons.CNN correspondent Athena Jones also noted the “rock star welcome” and “Lots of whistles and cheers and hoots and hollers.”
“As these threats grow darker and darker and darker, they are waking people up here in Texas and across this country,” said Cruz, who received a rock star reception from the home-state crowd.
And Cruz wowed them with his hate, prompting the following exchange between Prestonwood’s pastor, Jack Graham, and Cruz:
Graham: “My goodness, you know how to fire people up. You could be a preacher.”
Cruz: “It’s even worse, I’m a PK.”
Graham: “A preacher’s kid. The Lord seems to be elevating you and giving you favor with people and you’re certainly, here in Texas, you’re back home and we’re really glad that you are.”
Standing in the bosom of darkness as he was, Cruz was no doubt glad too. He won’t be feeling that love everywhere he goes. It is difficult for us non-cultists to understand the appeal. We hear Cruz speak and shrink back in horror, mouthing, “What the f#%&…” Cruz comes across as beady-eyed, mealy-mouthed and weaselly and if one word in ten is the truth it’s a miracle.
But this is what Republicans love. And Cruz gives it to them in spades. The day after the Texas hatefest, Cruz celebrated by winning the hate-vote in North Carolina
There is no doubt the haters will vote for a Republican and there is a certain amount of satisfaction to be had in watching lunatics scrabble for the vote of a few crazies who aren’t numerous enough to elect them.
It’s sort of anti-politics, because in politics, people actually want to get elected and that doesn’t seem to be the purpose here. Rather, the goal seems to be labeled as the one who hate is the strongest. And that person, according to expert hater Sandy Rios, a lot of haters in Texas and teabagger extremists in North Carolina, is Cruz.
