| Lawrence O’Donnell took on senators John McCain and Lindsay Graham tonight over what he deemed their brand-new standards for how to decide whether or not to support someone for a Cabinet position, and found their opposition to U.N. ambassador Susan Rice as the possible next secretary of state not only hypocritical, but McCarthy-like in rhetoric. (Snip) O’Donnell boiled the two senators criteria down to one simple fact: anyone but Rice. McCain and Graham both said that they would not support her nomination because she went on television and misrepresented the facts on the Benghazi attacks.

Comments: You can see exactly what direction this is taking. And the moron James Clyburn has accused the critics of Rice racist so they´ve got that area covered. This is going to get very ugly.

OK, I get the rules. You can be as dirty, and vile, and racist, and sexist as you want to be if you are a Demon-RAT. That is just ´´playing tough´´.
But if you are a Republican, you have to ´´play nice´´ all the time.
Forget that. I say we get in the gutter and be every bit as vile and evil as the Demon-RATS. I´m tired of ´´playing nice´´. We all know where nice guys finish. Apparently it´s the same for nice political parties...

Beat them at their own game. Say that the ambassador appears to have been ignored or even targeted because of his rumored sexual orientation. Say it was known that the locals were offended and that he may have been offered up by the administration, which may not itself be homophobic but may have given in to the feelings of the locals (pandering, if you will), who did not want their guns coming from such a man. See, that´s how the Dems would do it.

No one listens to Lawrence O´Donnell. Were it not were for his blatant bias and prejudice to go along with his stupid rants, even the left wing media, like Dan Abrams´ mediaite.com, would pay any attention.
McCain and Graham criticizing Susan Rice is certainly not the same as what he views as McCarthyism. At least McCarthy was correct about the Communists in our midst. Susan Rice merely toed the line and lied as instructed by her boss.
It was humorous when O´Donnell questioned why Romney didn´t enlist and go to Viet Nam. He never asked the same of Bill Clinton, or of Lawrence O´Donnell, for that matter.

There are only two possible scenarios here.
1. Susan Rice was briefed by the administration and the CIA that the Benghazi attacks were the result of a spontaneous protest against an unknown film clip no one has seen. And that that is the official position of the Administration and the US.
2. Susan Rice knew the attack was Al Queada but was instructed to say otherwise, or chose to say otherwise against the information she had been briefed with.
In scenario one she is simply incompetant, accepting verbatim a briefing that defied both the logic of the situation and the already known and publicised facts on the ground. In short she was simply a toady in blnders parroting whatever her puppetmasters told her. Not a strong recomendation for SecState.
In scenario 2 she was well aware of the reality and chose to lie to the American public and the world leadership, in blatant denial of the facts as they were known and most likely on the orders of the President or Jarrett. That disgusting behaviour would definitely be the death knell for any high office hopes in a rational world.
In short the administrations complete defense is either We´re incompetant (holder and the F&F e-mails), or we´re lying (Pick any of a dozen). The Obama Administration has used this excuse at least a dozen times and the press continues to allow them to get away with it. How long would a republican last floating the I´m not corrupt just incompetant excuse?

Ask them then, Don´t you care about the truth? Don´t you care about the FOUR men who died brutally? How about the dozens of injured? How about the US property?
How about for once, you dolts on the Left, YOU look at something other than skin color? You´re the racists. Wait! they are ideologues! For we have seen how viciously they treat minority Conservatives/Republicans.

The Obama regime is turning up the racist heat when they don´t get their way. According to the regime, McCain and Graham are two "old White Guys" beating up on a black woman. This is what Obama´s "Hope and Change" will be bringing us for another 4 years. I hope the selfish idiot low-information voters are proud of this.

Lord Bell said: "It is with great sadness that Mark and Carol Thatcher announced that their mother Baroness Thatcher died peacefully following a stroke this morning." Baroness Thatcher was Conservative prime minister from 1979 to 1990. She was the first woman to hold the post. Her family is expected to make a further statement later. Baroness Thatcher, born Margaret Roberts, became the Conservative MP for Finchley, north London in 1959, retiring from the Commons in 1992. Having been education secretary, she successfully challenged former prime minister Edward Heath for her party´s leadership in 1975.

It’s a decision that will bruise egos, create legacies and deeply affect subsequent messaging battles. “Every time the bill is mentioned in the press, you either have a brand that´s positive or a brand that doesn´t mean anything or even hurts you,” said Frank Sharry, the executive director of the pro-immigration reform group America’s Voice.

Recent research indicates that the number of people who do not consider themselves a part of an organized religion is steadily on the rise. Interestingly enough, though the number of those religiously unaffiliated is increasing, there is little to no trend in the number of those who express atheist or agnostic beliefs. People aren’t saying they don’t believe in God. They’re saying they don’t believe in religion. They are not rejecting Christ. They are rejecting the church. This begs the question, “Why are we losing our religion?”

Put out an all-points bulletin: Millions of Americans have gone missing from the workforce. Every month that those would-be workers are gone raises the odds that they might never come back, dimming the prospects for future economic growth. The vanishing trend is more than a decade old, but it accelerated during the Great Recession. Throughout 2012, economists held out hope that it had stopped. But then came Friday’s jobs report, and hopes were dashed. The Labor Department reported that the U.S. labor force — everyone who has a job or is looking for one — shrank

Gluten-free diets are all the rage, but they can be dangerous if not done right. What is gluten? It´s the spongy complex of proteins, found naturally in wheat, rye, and barley, that gives elasticity to dough and allows it to rise. When flour is moistened and either kneaded or mixed into dough, gluten molecules form an elastic, microscopic latticework that traps the carbon dioxide produced when yeast ferments, causing dough to inflate like a hot air balloon. Baking hardens the gluten, which helps the finished product keep its shape. Wheat — and gluten — is ubiquitous in the American diet.
