Democrats Leave Benghazi Hearing Before Testimony From Families of Victims

During the second portion of a House Oversight and Government Reform hearing (http://townhall.com/tipsheet/katiepavlich/2013/09/19/pickering-im-proud-of-the-hillary-benghazi-whitewash-report-we-produced-n1704435) about Benghazi Thursday on Capitol Hill, the majority of Democrats on the Committee left the room and refused to listen to the testimony of Patricia Smith and Charles Woods. Ms. Smith is the mother of Sean Smith, an information management officer killed in the 9/11 Benghazi attack. Charles Woods is the father of Navy SEAL Tyrone Woods, who was also killed.

Agreed. But, I am always reminded about HOW, and WHY Democrat/Liberals act like they do.

It is inbred in them to play "SWITCH".

I have stated it before. But everyone should just remember that word "SWITCH" whenever they hear the words Democrat, or Liberal, as those who play "SWITCH".
To those unfamiliar with it. Picture this.
Democrats and Liberals place their Right Thumb in their mouth, and their Left thumb, up their butt.
Then...they wait for someone to yell "SWITCH".
The rest is just obvious, and describes their mental state as well.

And where is the ultimate advocate for the leftists who always asks the stupid question of what this or that has to do with any given topic. Seems that he/she cares little when a libtards seeks to derail the subject matter. Could be that his/her desired conversations are so short lived and boring that any off comment is threatening to them. What a moron! I'd personally like to see him/her answer their own question...I'd also like to see where a leftist has said anything here AGAINST B.O. But getting back on topic, the leftists spit on our BEST and their graves simply for having the thought patterns they have but they always go a step further by acting upon such thought patterns. Even worse, they side with the enemy. Even the occupier/LIAR in OUR White House sides with the very trash that wound and kill our BEST.

L. A. Obviously. Those Congressional Democrats must have been hoping the American people never paid attention to what took place today, or in Wisconsin.
Another case of Democrats feeling confident that the Americans who voted them into office, wouldn't remember them doing such things, or know about it. Since the Obama-Democrat intent is to keep Americans Uninformed, and Un-educated.

[jimnyc]

These scumbags are all working for us, and they're going to walk out and refuse to listen to these folks, who's family was killed during an incident in which the government should be answering about? I don't care WHAT they are upset with the republicans about, that's not a good enough reason to show such disrespect to these families.

[logroller]

It would appear that even here, on DP, nobody is interested in what they had to say. ;)
I think its just assumed that they said BO is worthless and that's the extent of what interests some and what disinterests others. It's a committee on oversight and reform and I would hope that what they brought forth in their testimony was more than the Obama admin are big fat leftist liars that are destroying this country.

Clearly those not present didn't believe they would because they had a biased assumption. I'd like to see if they were correct in that assumption. If they were correct and the entire point of their testimony was an emotional ploy then I can understand why they didn't attend, but they still should have-- its their job-- not that doing their job seems to be much of a priority in congress.

So if they offered little more than emotional appeal; that's insulting to the dead imo. No different than when Obama uses the parents of murdered schoolchildren to support gun control. It's uncouth.

[Abbey Marie]

Some things should by all rules of decency trump politics. Unfortunately, we live in a time when that is not always the case. Shame on the politicians who walked out.

[logroller]

I think this (http://oversight.house.gov/wp-content/uploads/2013/09/Mrs.-Smith-Testimony-Non-Gov.pdf) is one of the letters which was read aloud during testimony by the mother of Sean Smith. I couldnt get the other to load. Seems like a pretty standard set of questions to want answered on her son's death:

why was there insufficient security?

why didn't the military attempt a rescue?

:gasp: :exit chambers:


There are some letters from other families on the committee website.

As far as the open minded Dems who turned their back on the parents of their murdered kids




The Democrats’ sordid Benghazi history may explain why Democrats walked out of the hearing before Patricia Smith, who is Sean Smith’s mother, and Charles Woods, who is Tyrone Woods’ father, were to have testified about their sons’ lives and deaths.
Here are the Democrats who walked out of the hearing:

Carolyn Maloney
Danny Davis
Eleanor Holmes Norton
Gerald E. Connolly
Jim Cooper
John Tierney
Mark Pocan
Matt Cartwright
Michelle Lujan Grisham
Peter Welch
Stephen Lynch
Steven Horsford
Tammy Duckworth
Tony Cardenas
William Lacy Clay

To their credit, Elijia Cummings and Jackie Speier remained to hear the testimony. But – as Hillary would say – “What difference does it make?” Sean Smith and Tyrone Woods are still dead.

Obama told them to walk out and the prove their solidarity with him. The loyal subjects of the Fuhrer obeyed. "Heil, mein Führer!" "Heil Obambler!" , "Sieg Heil!".... or the same words in Russian since Obama's hero was Stalin.

In general when one side has one and a story breaks, those of the same party make excuses for them. This is a simple reality. It shows the mindlessness of those that follow party over Constitution and rule of law.

While the Republicans, can hardly be viewed as callous, sense they are the ones fighting to get answers, and have already shown compassion, for the victims and family, If your can't see the difference, than you should leave the hypocrisy argument alone.

The circumstances were that two of the fallen Americans' family members spoke before a committee and committee members left. The narrative is that the democrats did it, slighting the memory of the dead, when in actuality both rep and dem members did so.

I haven't noticed anyone here condemn the republicans who left.l but please show me where here there is an uproar over all those who left, and not just the dems.

Given that members from both parties left, I think its pertinent to ask why it was colored by partisanship. Don't you?

Because there is no difference, only excuses made for 'your side'. If there is a hearing, and people are to speak, and you are on that committee, it is your JOB to be there. Period. Doesn't matter the side, doesn't matter your stance on what is being discussed, there are no excuses to not do your job.

Doesn't matter the side, doesn't matter your stance on what is being discussed, there are no excuses to not do your job.Well i have to agree with that, but once the Democrats walked out the hearing was pretty much over correct. In short i agree with Charles Woods, from the article.

UPDATE: It turns out there weren't a whole lot (http://www.slate.com/blogs/weigel/2013/09/20/darrell_issa_almost_successfully_trolls_democrats_ for_not_caring_about_benghazi.html) of Republicans in the hearing room for Smith and Wood's testimony either. They should have been there. That being said, here's the difference: Republicans have promised Smith and Woods answers about what happened in Benghazi and their continued efforts to hold hearings, issue subpoenas, etc. prove it. Charles Woods went out of his way during testimony to thank Republican Rep. Jason Chaffetz for his help. Democrats have repeatedly called the attack, and it's cover-up, a 'phony scandal' and a political witch hunt.

[logroller]

i have stated the difference i see, several different ways. Obviously you and arbo can't see my point.
I do see your point, democrats don't care about getting to the bottom of Benghazi; the evidence used to support such an assertion is that the democrats left before hearing the testimony. But by that rationale, in light of the evidence that republicans left too, I don't think your converse point that republicans DO care is likewise supported. It shows few care. That may or may not be true but, based on the OP rationale, that's the indication.

You give me too much credit; clearly you please yourself. I simply answered a question and provided a link to a source that demonstrated extensive scandals and corruption over decades, among dems and reps alike-- I didn't excuse anything. I also provided links to the committee website and read the letters fromthe families of the fallen. That you seek to minimize the former and completely ignore the latter, continuing into some ad hominem attack shows just how desperate you are to maintain a narrative on how high and mighty you are.

And I addressed what you posted BF. I understand your desperation as a loyal Obama lap dog and you feel you need to offer lame excuses and try to change the subject. Once Obama lap dogs like you bellowed how Obama and the Dems were going to change things. Now you offer up the classic excuse "well so and so did it". Sorry BF, you, FU and Arbo are the ones strutting around with your nose high in the air and talking down to anyone who does not march in lockstep with you. And I thought Obama was a narcissistic megalomaniac.

More nonsense. It is understood that those that run around screaming 'lap dog' don't have much to offer. The funny part is that such behavior is in line with the left and the Alinsky rules sort of tactics. :laugh:

That reminds me, you never addressed, with examples or anything close to facts, how anyone is a 'lap dog'. Behaving like an extremist leftist, how sad.

There are a couple here who are hitting those rules pretty hard.
