Geraldo Pleads With Fox News: ‘Stop This Politicizing’ Of Libya
By Hayes Brown on Oct 26, 2012 at 10:03 am
An impassioned plea to halt the politicization of the attack in Benghazi came from surprising quarters this morning. Fox News’s Geraldo Rivera, appearing on Fox and Friends, rattled through several right-wing talking points about what the Obama administration could have and didn’t do during the Sept. 11 assault, debunking each of them.
Rivera was primarily responding to statements just minutes before by Rep. Mike Kelly (R-PA), who sits on the House Government and Oversight Committee. In his remarks, Kelly claimed that the Pentagon was unable or unwilling to respond to the attack, which wound up killing four Americans, despite “real-time” information coming in. Rivera pushed back on Kelly’s claims and the idea that military assets could have made it to Libya in time:
RIVERA: I think we need to stop this politicizing, we’re getting away from the real issue, which is why wasn’t there security before it happened. But these preposterous allegations, reckless allegations, that somebody — They paint a picture of some fat bureaucrat watching TV. You heard him describe it, Congressman Kelly. I think that’s really beyond the pale.
Watch it:
“In terms of the military, stop these politicians” from telling the military what they could have done, Rivera went on. Kelly’s claims centered around a recent idea that the U.S. could have launched a military assault from a base in Europe to counter the attack. Rivera pointed to statements from Secretary of Defense Leon Panetta that indicated that information on the ground was not clear enough to warrant sending U.S. forces into harms way.
Rivera also took flack for agreeing with various Republican Senators that the current political climate was not conducive to holding an investigation into Libya. The Senate Select Committee on Intelligence has instead scheduled hearings into possible intelligence failures prior to and during the attack for after the election.
The hosts of Fox and Friends were not as willing to acknowledge these facts as Rivera, repeatedly attempting to bring him back on the narrative.
Looks like the GOP have been lead like sheep again by Fox Noise. The cookie is beginning to crumble.
Hey Mark,
If Obama wins Virginia, then it’s really over. I still think Romney will win Virginia but Obama will win the election by winning Ohio.
Two days in a row Early Start/Starting Point back in the 200′s. Terrible numbers–
BREAKING…
Keith Olbermann to sign with FOX News Developing…
Not really about Keith Just wanted to breakup the heated election stuff
Somebody stick a pin in this windbag!!
– Obama is foreign. Obama doesn’t understand the “American system” because “he spent his early years in Hawaii smoking something, spent the next set of years in Indonesia, another set of years in Indonesia, and, frankly, when he came to the U.S. he worked as a community organizer, which is a socialized structure.” [Fox News, 7/17/2012]
– Obama doesn’t know how to be an American. During a conference call, Sununu claimed, “The men and women all over America who have worked hard to build these businesses, their businesses, from the ground up is how our economy became the envy of the world. It is the American way. And I wish this president would learn how to be an American.” [Conference call, 7/17/2012]
– Obama is a lazy idiot. Sununu described Obama’s debate performance as “babbling,” “lazy,” and “disengaged,” and dismissed the possibility that he could do better in the future. “When you’re not that bright you can’t get better prepared.” [Fox News, 10/4/2012]
– Obama has no class, just wants to be cool. “That moment of using the B.S. word was kind of a self-defining moment for the president,” he told Sean Hannity. “No class, wants to be cool. Sacrifices the dignity of the presidency for appearing cool to a magazine that works for some of his base.” [Fox News, 10/25/2012]
Funny how upset when the GOP ppl get Obama called Romney a bull$hitter (truth) but find it acceptable when they have this jerk running around.
Senator Harry Reid is in stable condition after the car accident
God Speed Harry, hope to have you bugging us soon again
@Jeff – Benghazi
Everytime I tune in to watch Fox News, that’s all they’re ever talking about. They have so many conspiracy theories about the Benghazi attacks, it’s ridiculous. If this had happened under Bush, Fox News would’ve talked about it one day and moved on. And of course, Hannity and Rush would’ve called anyone questioning the President a Traitor.
@mark2
If Obama loses Ohio he basically has to win either Colorado and New Hamsphire or Virginia(assuming he wins Nevada, Iowa and Wisconsin)
“Rock Center with Brian Williams” (and Barack Obama) ended up having 3.72 million viewers, losing to “The O’Reilly Factor”, which had 3.935 million.
In the case of Romney he has to figure a way to pull one of Wisconsin or Ohio from Obama else he is toast(and if he pulls Wisconsin he would have to win one of NH, Nevada or Iowa as well)
As it stands I think Nevada is probably the most likely of all swing states to go to Obama, I probably would rate Iowa #2(but i still consider it a swing state as opposed to a swing state in appearance only(say like North Carolina which most likely will go Red))
