Spitting on Their Graves: Democrats Leave Benghazi Hearing Before Testimony From Families of Victims

During the second portion of a House Oversight and Government Reform hearingabout 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.

The far side of the room, shown empty in the photo, belongs to the Democrats. The only Democrats who stayed were Ranking Member Elijah Cummings and Rep. Jackie Speier.

This is disgraceful and disgusting!! These people should be ashamed, as should be the states and voters who sent them to Congress!

To label these people "scum" is to denigrate the slippery, smelly, ugly, decaying material that appears in pools of stagnate water.

The best way to deal with crap like this is to fight to make American patriots the overwhelming political majority in the government. And, at present, the most important way to achieve this is to stop any form of amnesty.

We need to expose the cryptic promoting of amnesty by politicians claiming to be "conservatives," and expose Fox News ignoring the dangers of amnesty legislation. We must drive home to complacent patriots this message: Because amnesty will destroy all things conservative, you can not be for amnesty or indifferent to it and be a serious freedom fighter. We must repeat this message over and over until everyone who is a conservative joins with us and DEMANDS THAT ALL ILLEGAL ALIENS MUST GO HOME. We must end the political career of Marko Rubio and make glamor boys like Rand Paul stop working at cross purposes with us with his silly "Trust but Verify" amnesty scheme.

Remember them, all !!!!!!!!

Democrats WALK OUT of Hearing With Parents of Benghazi Victims




Earlier today, an important hearing regarding the attack on Benghazi was being held by the House Oversight and Government Reform Committee. The parents of the Benghazi heroes who died fighting to protect the US consulate were about to speak.
Then, in a turn of events that’s disgusting even by DC standards, most of the Democrats stood up and walked out. Apparently, they were either protesting or trying to show disrespect — either way, if there was any honor in their districts at all, this would end their careers.
A picture from Rep. Issa’s Twitter account and a list of the names of the congressmen who left is listed on this page. Disgusting. Spread this far and wide — their names should be known and shamed.

And I am ashamed to say that Jackie Speier is from California. I've always thought that she was one of the more intelligent and brave legislators. I really can't imagine what she and the other clowns were thinking, to walk out on the parents of American heros.
