There were two discussions recently on BloggingheadsTV which say a great deal about why the recent election turned out the way it did. The first was October 29, with Robert Wright and Ann Althouse. The second was November 2, with Robert Farley and Matthew Duss.
The original headline (the verbatim version is lost) to the Farley-Duss chat was “Why are conservatives hating on Nate Silver”? When a statistician calls the election for BHO, and the repubs scream about the messenger, that tells the observant listener that BHO is going to win.
One of the subjects discussed by Farley-Duss is Benghazi. There was an incident at the US embassy there, and four Americans died. It seems that the Wall Street Journal had a report (behind a paywall) saying that the C.I.A. had been responsible for the security. Apparently, there was confusion, and mistakes were made. However, to try to turn this into an election issue was not appropriate.
The attack on the embassy was a major theme for Ann Althouse. One eye opener was when she said that only Fox news was covering the story. When PG heard that, his first instinct was to consider it a lie. For the last five years, no anti BHO story has been too far fetched for Fox. Maybe the network should be renamed Wolf, featuring the little boy crying.
The talk about Benghazi went on for nearly ten minutes. Ms. Althouse asked how the two SEALS managed to kill sixty attackers. This is a nifty bit of rhetoric. You make a questionable claim, assume it is true, and ask how it happened. As it turns out, there is more than a little bit of confusion about what happened at the embassy.
After a while, Ms. Althouse compared the embassy attack to Watergate. This seems like a stretch, just like so much of the drivel to come out about BHO from Wolf news.
