Why quote something that is known to be false and advertise it as truth.
Because it fits the narrative the reader supports. It's the reason 99% of people choose a certain news source. They need their views to be supported.

I agree with this statement but I was speaking more about the people that quote it in a debate or use the article like it is fact like the OP.

No. Just another alter used in an attempt to make this illogical line of thinking seem more mainstream.

What I stated fits that situation as well. It fits the speaker's narrative and strengthens the bond he has with those who want to believe what he is selling.

What a cute little thread, but:

quote:

Months of investigation by The New York Times, centered on extensive interviews with Libyans in Benghazi who had direct knowledge of the attack there and its context, turned up no evidence that Al Qaeda or other international terrorist groups had any role in the assault.


So the NYT is citing their own investigation.

Cute

Whether AQ was involved or not was never the issue.

The issues were why did the administration lie as if the murders were performed by a mob who spontaneously rioted because of a video when the administration knew the rioters were well organized fighters with machine guns and mortars.

And second why were our people left hanging, and then when attacked why did we not try to rescue them?

The AQ thing is a red herring and absolves the administration of nothing in my book.

But I've never thought that malfeasance in office was impeachable anyway, You?

Based on years of my own personal investigation, centering on interviews with my Mother, my wife, and my kids, I have been able to determine that I am the best-looking guy in the world.

This is one of those guys that thinks all terrorists are Al Qaeda.

Gee whiz!!

There are probably a thousand political/ideological groups with names like 'We Love America' who agree with and promote Progressive Ideology, but who do not overtly label themselves as Progressive...for a STRATEGIC reason. Duhh!

SS...do you really believe that of the HUNDREDS OF MILLIONS of Muslims on this planet - who AGREE with Islamist Ideology as defined by al qeda, but who don't *officially* belong to the group - that their actions are then strategically irrelevant?

This manner of apologetic thinking process is EXACTLY why Obama's policy has pretty much been allowed to run rogue and pretty much put Islamists on the edge of a historically unparalleled hegemony in the ME.

Either political spin to give Hillary a clean slate...or serious naiveté'.

If it was really the result of that stupid video, why didn't we see rioting and violence throughout the ME? Kind of funny that violence only erupted in one place, wouldn't you say?

The NYT is lying thru their teeth. The group that planned this attack may not have been officially sanctioned by Al Queda, but they were definitely a wannabe. Just because they weren't sanctioned by AQ doesn't mean you can default to blaming some stupid video as the culprit.

I suspect that the NYT is more concerned with helping HRC as opposed to Obama, though. Hillary lied just like Barry did.

I'm not an Obama supporter.

He's way too conservative for me.

I'm a Green Partier.

The NYT must believe that the Benghazi attack was the most organized, planned, spontaneous riot in world history.

Everyone suddenly left their computers after watching the video and burst into the streets with their machine guns and mortars all at the same time and were so mad that they launched a coordinated attack on our outpost.

I don't think you know what conservative means.

You should've said "he is way too in the pocket of large corporations" or even "he is way too RINO when it comes to big businesses".

Posting things without using the proper definitions makes you appear uneducated.

Just a bit of advice.

You should have posted this response using an alter like "Delilah's Vagina" given how receptive you were to samson'sseed.
