"Yes I think they prefer the "draft" that points the finger of blame on someone besides them."
This while you are completely spinning the facts (making them up) to put the blame on who you choose to blame .
awesome.

Opinion: Benghazi, IRS: Son of Watergate?
The republican supreme court created the culture for this problem with "citizen united" while a republican congress passed the murky laws that the IRS now has to sort out how to interpret while a republican appointee was the head of the IRS while republican organizations (85% of applicants) are applying for 501c4 tax exempt status for purely political and financial gain while pretending to be "social welfare" organizations in order to enhance their ability to be transparent about what they(and who) are doing and you and your buddies think this shouldn't be a red flag to the IRS. Instead you come to the rediculous self serving conclusion and the spin it into :
"this administration is willfully silencing organizatons" and people who do not agree with their agenda."
You have fabricated a completely false scenario to blame OBama so you can cover for the republicans benefiting from the situation they created.

The republican congressional staffers altered the "actual" email sent to their "falsified" version of the "actual" email sent and leaked that "falsified" email to the press.
Do you think any white house or virtually any entity doesn't produce drafts on the way to a final version. You think all you have to do is twist this into what ever you want to make it out to be. Ask any author of any book if the the final version didn't have preliminary drafts. Ask any composer if their released version of a composition was their only version. It is ridiculous for people like you to turn this common practice into something else.
The congressional staffers who "altered" this email to their liking almost surely made drafts of their "altered" version before leaking their actual "lie" to the press. Your position is weak and misleading so you don't have to accept the truth that doesn't support your desired truth.
Fox is still quoting this "falsified" version (multiple times so far this morning) even though they know that it has been proven to be a "lie". Business as usual for them because they know it is what people like you want.

Republican house staffers altered (lied) emails to manufacture republican support for their desired results on Benghazi. The altered emails seemed to implicate Obama while the actual emails vindicated the White House.
Pure politicalization even if it takes making up the story to do so.

Again, just for you, twister
The latest news is that on two different occasions the ambassador himself declined additional security.

"I don't care about what happened in the past (if it doesn't support your preferred biases.)
there is your answer. So long as it is republicans breaking the law you don't care. If you can manufacture a controversy that favors republicans then you care. That is exactly the way the republican house and faux entertainment thinks as well. That is pure politicalization and a political biase that has their desired results they only need to manufacture a path to get their. Politicalization:
I like the way you disagree with the facts of the past without any explanation other than "i don't care". You can't deny them on any factual basis so you just "don't care".
Are you denying that the Reagan administration created "Iran Contra"? Are you denying that he wasn't impeached or imprisoned. Are you denying Oliver Norths participation in this. Are you denying he wasn't imprisoned for his crimes? How about the Savings and Loan Scandal that was a Reagan scandal that he was not held accountable for. Are you denying that Bush used the 911 attacks to justify going to war with Iraq, which had nothing to do with 911. Are you denying Bush adm. lied about this. Oh, thats right you only care if you can politicize manufactured controversies that favor your political views. Priceless.

Resources like the funding the republicans denied to do just that?

"It may be that Republicans are attempting to politicize this, but if this had been a Republican President, would the Democrats not attempt to play politics?"
Simple answer. No. Dems gave Oliver North and Reagan a free ride on Iran Contra after it was undeniable. The Pubs. would have impeached Reagan over this. Probably even sought imprisonment for him. The Dems gave Bush a free ride through his entire administration. He lied us into a war and allowed the 911 attacks. All of these events make Obama look like a mouse even if the controversies that the pubs have largely exploited are trumped up and politicised into being something far more than they were. Benghazi and 911 were both terrorist attacks. 3000 Americans dead and vs. 4. The Dems were complete cowards about going after Bush. They felt it was inappropriate to try to divide the country by pursuing it and pursued unity instead. This is only 2 examples of what actually happened and the best the pubs can do is try to trump something into being as bad as these despicable republican failures.
Come on Wrist, do you really think there is any question that they are trying to politicize this? You may debate on how much- like 8 out of 10 or 10 out of 10 but it is undeniable that they are. You determine this by their actions, their posturing, their relentless shaping of the events to support their desired outcome. There is no doubt In my mind that the Obama Administration could have and very well should have handled Benghazi differently but to try to make it into 911 or Iran Contra is purely political.
How about the emails that were leaked to ABC that were rewritten by congressional republican staffers to implicate Obama but, when read as they were written, actually exonerated Obama. That is not just political but down right criminal and is the real scandal.

There is no logical connection between your comment and the comment you appear to be explaining. Comedian? I expressed no opinion on oxycontin or anybody other than the known facts of Limbaugh abusing it while criticizing others who abuse it as well as other drugs .I have no explanation for the opinion you made up that makes absolutely no sense whatsoever.
Many of the posters here are parroting his tirade of assumptions, misquotes, and fabrications to support his shock jock bullying persona as Limbaugh attempts to be the news rather than report the news. That opens him up for scrutiny on these forums. People who buy into his misinformation because they like it will tend to repeat it as if it had any validity whatsoever even though it doesn't.
