Now that the Republicans' own investigation has determined that the so-called Benghazi conspiracy was a total falsehood, will Fox News and the Republicans apologize for making false accusations?
You may remember that ever since that ambassador was killed a couple years in the attack on the US embassy in Benghazi, Libya, that Fox News and the Republican party have been accusing Hillary Clinton and Obama of all sorts of nasty things – a conspiracy to hide the truth, and so on.
Yesterday, the Republican led congressional committee investigating Benghazi released their report – guess what – Clinton, Obama, and the US Government acted properly and there was no conspiracy after all.
Will Fox News acknowledge that they were perpetrating false accusations? Will the Republicans say they’re sorry?

No. Faux News will say that the administration intervened and stonewalled and blocked access so the report is false. Republicans will say, “what do we have to apologize for? We wanted an investigation, we got one, we published a report”.
Of couse not.
They will call them Rinos, call the report a conspiracy to cover up the benghazi conspiracy.
They might even just ignore the existence of the report and just continue with their benghazigate nonsense.
And they will not apologise. Republicans think that apologising for wrongdoings is a weakness. At least when they are concerned.
Ha ha ha!
We’re talking about people who believe Earth is 6,000 years old and Sarah Palin should be President.
At this point what difference does it make?
Most folks have no idea about this mess and could not care less. Some guy named “Ben Ghazi? HA! Whatever.
Fox, and the Republican party would never admit to any thing ever.
As if democrats apologize for their bullshit?~
Politicians are liars, political affiliation doesn’t change that fact. Welcome to America.
No apology will be coming. And isn’t it a coincidence that this report came out after the election?
How is it not a coincidence? I really dont think democrats were trying to suppress the information, and considering most media outlets lean to the left, there isn’t much incentive for them to keep quiet about it until after elections.
@cheebdragon The Republican-controlled House committee released the report after the election.
@jaykay ooh so the republicans are conspiring to keep information from being released that could possibly make them look bad? Was it shocking for you that it turned out to be mostly nothing? No, because everyone already fucking figured it wasn’t a huge scandal a long time ago. So what would be the point of hiding it until after elections? Benghazi wasn’t going to sway any republican voters.
..everyone already fucking figured it wasn’t a huge scandal a long time ago…
You are talking about rational people.
Conservatives still promote Benghazi as the worst scandal in decades.
Benghazi, the coffee cup salute, birth certificate, and on and on. You would think that people might catch on. Sooner or later, even a donkey should stop paying attention to your insistence that a hubcap is a carrot. The only useful function the network serves is that its ratings are a consistent barometer on the stupidity of its viewership.
Damn. Didn’t take long.^^
@jaytkat I suppose it’s a lot like all of those democrats who still believe that Bush was behind 9/11. It’s funny because most also believe Bush is a complete idiot. (so I guess he’s a retarded criminal mastermind)?
@cheebdragon
Bush was not behind 9/11. He knew about it but it was Cheney and other members of the Project for a New American Century, many of whom were also in with Reagan and his Iran/Contra crap, that actually planned and executed the attack. Bush is not a complete idiot, he has made a living out of being a front man for the ones behind the curtain.
↑ excellent example.
Where is that apology from the left?
@cheebdragon Uh, the left does not think Bush created 9/11, conspiracy-style. There may be some consensus that he created an atmosphere in which 9/11 could happen, then ignored all warnings that it was about to happen. So, he’s responsible through negligence, but not through deliberate action.
What is the left supposed to apologize for? The conspiracy theories of 9/11 truthers?
I think we are supposed to apologize for believing that Bush/Cheney engineered 9/11 to further the agenda of their puppet masters.
@rojo That’s what I gathered, but most liberals simply don’t believe that. Perhaps a large segment of Republicans think we do.
@cheebdragon Think it through yourself. There is a world of difference between believing that Bush had prior knowledge of the attacks and believing that he deliberately caused them. Not that your article would bother to make that distinction. It might hurt their smear campaign case.
@dappled_leaves there is a world of difference between wikipedia and what could be considered a reliable source.
I don’t know if you’ve heard but there are a lot of people that hate America, lol, terrorist threats are quite common. Unless they had specifically named the twin towers as their target, it couldn’t really be considered “prior knowledge”.
Wtf smear campaign are you talking about?
