If you re-read my post perhaps you will see what I'm saying regarding the apparent avoidance of the actual question.

Well it's simple really, I voted for Obama, but I don't think he's the Jesus god and I'm not happy with things like the NSA spying, the pretty much non existent punishment to the banking industry and essentially carrying on with allowing big business to become too big to fail. ect..ect..
However, I find most of the right wing attacks pretty much petty and of obvious of political agenda. Which also includes 90% of the Obama related topics here on GFY. This topic was to poke fun at how ridiculous it is to have yet another Benghazi investigation.
Yet the same guys that support it here in this topic will ignore every bit of information from all the previous investigations pretty much all of them led by Republicans mind you. Yet they will ignore the results because the result don't say "scandal" so lets try again.
Meanwhile there are actual "real" topics that Republicans could be pressuring Obama on but oh how they are so quiet..
Look at your example.. Drone Strikes. We have targeted and killed three Americans with those drone strikes. That to me seems illegal as shit, specially considering the "second" American was the son of the first.
ie.. The CIA first targeted and killed was Al-Aulaqi the noted American al-Qaeda spokesmen. Now I'll say there is a possibility a case can be argued for targeting him, but by our Constitution he should have been afforded a right to trial unless there was some immanent threat.
However 2 weeks later the CIA targeted and killed his 16 year old son, Abdulrahman Al-Aulaqi in Yemen. Now I really can not come up with any reason that the CIA should be able to get away with that.
The CIA has said he was not the target and 9 others died in the same attack included the supposed target. However where is the Republican outrage over stuff like this? Why are they not demanding investigations over this?
Same with the NSA programs that Snowden exposed. Where is the Republican outrage that our freedoms are being taken away? The Right complains endlessly about the 2nd amendment and their Religious rights but I guess the rest of our rights are no worry. Again they just pick stuff that riles up the brain dead masses to create fake drama for the cameras.
There is no outrage because Republicans and Democrats both support the usage of drones in CIA attacks and spying on us all via the NSA.
These so called Republican outrages over things like Bengazi is just useless fluff for the cameras, as it's not about anything more than political gain. It's no different that saying Obama was born in Kenya or Obamacare would cause death committees.
It's just fake drama used to rile us the brain dead masses and it works as we see here in this topic. It doesn't matter if you point by point refute the argument, it gets ignored and the same BS lies are repeated.
Simply put, just because I bash or discredit the meaningless dribble that comes from the right, doesn't mean I agree with everything the left does. It just means the right is much worse. The right to me has become nothing more than chicken little, always claiming the sky is falling but only if it's Democrats fault.. Now I wont say the Democrats don't also play politics, but by and far they are no where near as bad as the Republicans.
