Even the WaPo seems to have noticed that Obama has been attacking a host of strawmen. And the WaPo is not alone; the NY Times suggested something similar when it wrote, as part of its editorial about Obama’s West Point … Continue reading →
Neo-neocon, writing on the morning of Monday, May 19, 2014: …[Trey Gowdy’s questions for the press show] how negligent and/or collusive with [the Obama] administration the press has been in covering (or rather, covering up) the Benghazi incident. If it … Continue reading →
