Tea Partiers harassed by IRS?

So beyond being ammo to attack Obama with, which I have no interest in doing, is there anything uncovered so far that actually impacts anything worth a damn?  I mean we are supposedly fighting a 'War on Terror' so it seems logical the terrorists are going to get us in their own backyard once in a blue moon. 

The administration seemed to want us to think that the war on terror was over and that Obama won it.

Yes, that is what politicians often do.  But many of Obama's supporters put him above that. 

Which is sorta funny.  Obama is the very model of an American politician.

I don't remember a "Mission Accomplished" banner, which is the traditional way of signaling such things.

Hey Derspeiss, you wanna answer that last question I asked you?

I refer you to my earlier answer: to have her statements on record.

That doesn't make sense in the context of my question.   I'm going to guess you are going to do the same thing as 11B4V and not answer that question, because you and I both know it undermines your position.  Getting her statements on record doesn't facilitate finding out the truth about Benghazi if you are simply going to dismiss them out of hand.  It did facilitate "political theater", I believe that's how you described it before.

Spiking the football after bin Laden was whacked.

You need to find something productive to do.

I'm sorry to bore you.  It must be tiring to have your position demolished daily.

So he shouldn't have told anyone about it, or perhaps have a day of mourning?

I don't remember him trumpeting it that much in the run up to the election, or ever using that as a proxy for winning the war on terror.

And the message was that terrorism was no longer an issue?

[derspiess]

He should have claimed the appropriate amount of credit.  He was certainly entitled to some.  But not as much as he gave himself.  He referred to himself so many times when he announced bin Laden's death I wanted to vomit.  But that's what narcissists do.

[derspiess]

And the message was that terrorism was no longer an issue?

Not necessarily.  But throughout his first term, there was an effort to avoid using the term "war on terror".

[garbon]

You're sounding lately, D, about as petty on Obama as I was in the whole '08 to '12 period.

I'm fairly sure that even the most ardent Obama fans don't think this. It seems a very strange reason to bring the issue into Senate hearings, too.
