Hannity Talking Impeachment Again, This Time Over Benghazi Attack

Posted by Ellen -393pc on September 28, 2012 · Flag

Here we go again. Not since Sestak-gate, no, Fast and Furious-gate, no campaign-ad-gate has Sean Hannity asked “What did the president know, when did he know it?” as if impeachment is imminent – this time over Benghazi-gate. Well, in his dreams, anyway. 

Hannity claimed Americans “deserve the truth” about what happened in Benghazi, Libya on September 11th when several Americans were killed, including the U.S. ambassador to Libya. Yet, “truth-seeking” Hannity seems determined to avoid interviewing any reporters with actual knowledge about the situation in favor of hosting a stream of partisan pundits more skilled at attacking President Obama. Hannity’s previous phony experts included Sarah Palin, Ann Coulter and Herman Cain. Last night, we got Rudy Giuliani. Giuliani has experience dealing with the aftermath of terrorism but he’s hardly any kind of expert on the uprisings in the Middle East.

Giuliani repeatedly used the word “cover up:” He said the administration had engaged in “a cover up – a deliberate attempt to cover up the truth… and the worst kind of cover up.” Yet, Giuliani didn’t offer a single new fact or bit of information go beyond his flame-throwing speculation.

After he finished suggesting President Obama deserved to be impeached, “Great American” Hannity slobbered over Israel’s President Benjamin Netanyahu as an example of a superior leader. He called President Obama’s speech at the United Nations “embarrassing to this country.” But Netanyahu? “With moral clarity, certainty, understanding of what is at stake in the world,” Hannity said.

What the bullyboy hatriot really meant was that Netanyahu has the same war-with-Iran fervor that Hannity has. Not that chickenhawk Hannity will be putting his own fanny on the line any time soon. Heck, he won’t even make good on his promise to undergo waterboarding for charity, even though he insists it’s not torture.

By the way, Hannity is not alone in impeachment fever. Heather, at Crooks and Liars, noted Mike Huckabee on America’s Newsroom today hinting at impeachment also:

I think frankly, if this issue really gets traction that it deserves, and let it say it deserves, go back. Richard Nixon was forced out of office because he lied. And because he covered some stuff up. I will be blunt and tell you this. Nobody died in Watergate. We have people who are dead because of this.

"Fair and balanced" Fox Nation is also getting with the program with a post called Benghazi-Gate.

Media Matters has a report on myths and facts about the Benghazi attack and protests in the Middle East.

In other words, Hannity may well have to trump up some new excuse to ask, “What did the President know and when did he know it?” And I have no doubt that he will.

The Seans and Rush’s are really grasping for straws.

Not that we need any more evidence, but interviews like this really expose Scum Hannity for the lowlife piece of shit he is. Can you imagine if Al Gore was president on 9/11 and had the info George Bush ignored? Hannity would have been calling for impeachment that same week. As for Giuliani, he’s just a bitter man who’s pissed he couldn’t even win one primary in 2008.

Benghazi-gate is just another fictional phony-gate concocted by Ghouliani, Gomer Huckabee and KKKlannity. Only the ignorant teabaggers are buying it.

Here’s my $0.02…. Fox News is the only news source in the WORLD that hasn’t said the riots over that video weren’t a major factor in this.

They’re also the only news source that has yet to broadcast that terrorists who exploited the outrage didn’t actively participate in many of the major instances.

And apparently, it’s less likely for manipulated outrage to lead to the deaths of the manipulator’s target than it is for the president they claim to catch in a new scandal bi-daily to be leading a cover up that makes 9/11 look like a kid who snaked a cookie.

I know the answers we like to put down, but seriously- just how fucking stupid are these people?! And just how much stupider than that are the people who believe them?!

This is an article about the Obama Administration’s out and out lies regarding the Libyan incident. Maybe this is the event that will cause him to lose. What do you think?

“Here we go again. Not since Sestak-gate, no, Fast and Furious-gate, no campaign-ad-gate . . .” . . . no, using-Air Force One-gate, no, making recess appointments-gate, no, signing healthcare reform into law-gate . . .

Hannity figures (hopes) if he throws enough impeachment charges at the wall, eventually one will stick.

And, while we’re on the subject of asking people, “what did they know and when did they know it,” somebody should ask Rudy 9/11 Giuliani how much HE knew about the recommendation not to place the NYC emergency command center at the WTC, and when did HE know it . . .

Kkkannity is so frustrated. He recently had dreams of an rMoney victory with Paul Ryan’s 1% tax rate for the rich. How many Big-Gulps will you have to pass up now Kkklannity?

It boggles the mind that this event, in some ways similar to 9/11, can elicit such a different reaction from the right wing. Although, maybe we should have, no one was demanding Bush’s impeachment because people died on his watch and he was warned that it would happen. Despite our differences we got behind him and presented a unified USA. That’s what you do after an attack, at least if you are a decent, patriotic person.

I know Hannity looooves the USA, the only problem is the USA he loves is in an alternate history universe and bears no relation to this USA. I wish we could send him there.
