I love this synopsis:
The piece is about the obscene politicization of the assault that killed four Americans, and the article slammed the Republican Benghazi committee which was engaged in a political show trial disguised as a Congressional investigation—the tenth inquiry into the tragedy.
This is not funny. It is terrifying. The Russians engage in a sloppy disinformation effort and, before the day is out, the Republican nominee for president is standing on a stage reciting the manufactured story as truth. How did this happen? Who in the Drumpf campaign was feeding him falsehoods straight from the Kremlin? (The Drumpf campaign did not respond to a request for comment.)
Holyshit. Can you just imagine the Media saturation-bombing paroxysm of Rage that would occur if even a minor Democratic politico was exposed as doing this? It would take the whole party down. Hell, all of us that even criticized the misguided Iraq War in the Bush II admin. were "America Haters". Max Cleland lost his job so some draft-dodging fuckstick just because he was a Democrat. Fuck, it's not just even OIKIYAR these days, nothing matters but winning and everything else, even a manifestly unsuited candidate who's proven to be in league with a hostile foreign government takes a back seat.
