On the ground sources: New York Times Benghazi article "completely false"

The New York Times was wrong, way wrong, about Joseph Stalin in the 1930s.

From Fox News:

Fifteen months after the Sept. 11 attack in Benghazi which killed Ambassador Chris Stevens and three other Americans, the narrative of the attack continues to be shaped, and reshaped, by politicians and the press.

But a New York Times report published over the weekend has angered sources who were on the ground that night. Those sources, who continue to face threats of losing their jobs, sharply challenged the Times’ findings that there was no involvement from Al Qaeda or any other international terror group and that an anti-Islam film played a role in inciting the initial wave of attacks.

"It was a coordinated attack. It is completely false to say anything else. … It is completely a lie," one witness to the attack told Fox News.

The controversial Times report has stirred a community that normally remains out of sight and wrestles with how to reveal the truth, without revealing classified information.

Low information voters: These two bumperstickers explain what conservatives have to fight

Besides liberals, the most paralyzing enemy conservatives face are the low information voters that empower the so-called progressives. One example is the owner of a car parked in Morton Grove, Illinois that professes support for both Barack Obama and the Daily Show's Jon Stewart for president.
