If accurate... wow...

Given that it IS about that, yes, that is what it should be about. The fact that the Obama admin has the siblings of two major network Presidents on its staff assigned to that area... yeah... big deal. The fact that Clinton has yet a third network wrapped up with nepotism, yeah... again a big deal.

Wait. Doesn't Jenna Bush work for NBC?

Isn't the latter exactly what you're doing by believing that Obama's "I didn't know" was like Nixon's "I'm not a crook speech" (or "being reminded" of it), and believing that the current IRS scandal, which we're still gathering facts on, is somehow comparable to the targeting that Nixon did?

No, it isn't. Personally I think you give me more "power" than exists in reality and read into what I say more of what you want than what is there.

It reminded me of that speech, that is all.

And the IRS really is targeting his political opponents, even if you think Obama is entirely innocent it doesn't change that the IRS really is doing what they did for Nixon...

I think it is more wishful thinking by lefties. I'm sure if I was more aware of politics I'd have some resentment of Nixon for being such an paranoid a$$, but I don't and wouldn't feel resentful that a man who was doing some of things he was doing was forced to resign that office.

You tell me... did the media get the story right in those cases? Or did they fall in line with whatever Bush wanted them to believe?

Funny how liberals continue to run to the 'look at Bush' anytime Obama's admin is criticized.

What is equally as funny is how NOW that there is a president with a (D) behind his name Republicans are so much more concerned about the death of americans and that lying about it. NONE of them were upset about Tilman's death and the Cover-up by the DOD and the Bush administration. If you weren't pissed when it was your guy, your indignation NOW lacks authenticity. It's not about Bush, it's about the hypocrisy on the part of the Republicans now being so upset when it is the Anti-Christ, Obama. Wow, that's it. For the libs, he's the messiah, for the conservatives, he's the anti-Christ, and BOTH groups are wrong.

Yeah, he really is, he is usually considered one of the most powerful men on earth.

Anyway, those people knew nothing about the video until they were told it existed, which IMO, happened at the moment Obama mentioned it for the VAST majority of them. You again fail to follow the simple timeline, other than one rather small protest in Egypt, all of these protests you try to say cover his inept attempt to distract from the real cause happened after Obama's speeches where he kept getting all angrified about some video that nobody had seen and didn't know existed for months....

BULLSHIT...

President Obama's speech at the UN was on September 25th. Susan Rice went on the Sunday news shows on September 16th.

Except I was ticked about Tillmans death and the cover up that followed. Now reverse your statement and see how many liberals can say they were outraged by the Tillman incident and are now pretending this is no big deal.

1) Was she the President of NBC when Bush was in office?
2) You will note that I could care less that Chelsea Clinton WORKS for a network... the point is that we are talking about the PRESIDENTS of the network and their siblings working for the President of the US.

Let me guess, you think the average worker at a network has the same pull as the President of the network?

I was pissed more about the Jessica Lynch lie and staged "rescue" than Tillmans accidental death, but I did not call for impeachment or hearings regarding either. I was however called un-American for questioning the stories about both.

You think Jenna Bush is an "average worker" at a network?

Actually the Tillman is a hero crap was a big f-up by Bush... However, the friendly fire death and trying to make him a hero that he wasn't is not the same thing. The comparison is one of the weaker ones you have stated here.

Was I pissed at Bush for overstating Tillman's heroism? Of course. Is it the same thing as putting somebody in jail and blaming a video rather than owning up to an attack by an al Qaeda affiliate? Not even close. Or trying to do it to cover your gun running? Still not the same thing.

Because you are so cagey, I have to ask rather than assume... are you accusing President Obama of putting someone in jail or blaming a video rather than owning up to an attack by an Al Queda affiliate?
 
I also think the Bush-appointed IRS Commissioner that was in charge of the agency during these events and who resigned in November should resign again just for good measure.
