15. Why a car if it is Benghazi? I was thinking Lybia

There are no cars in Benghazi.

16. Ah, we're all having the same problem because we are trying to figure out

what is going on in a RWer's mind. No wonder we're confused. 

Kernel of truth.  You so smart.

5. Looks to me like a play on

Nero fiddling while Rome burns....

Saying the President is doing nothing while the world burns down around him,while ignoring the FACT that the conservatives he shills for block every attempt,at every possible turn,at doing something,ANYTHING...

He shills for conservatives?

Heck, it could just as easily be Chicago...the left has pretty much turned most large US cities into Benghazi. Even when the boy king lived there he didn't care about young black men dying. He was too busy building a mini mansion next to Tony Rezko.

^5 for you , my first thought was Chicago.

History fades as one ages and I seem to remember something about the times when the poor and the slaves were on the brink of an uprising in Rome.   Nero seeing this had the city burned down to deflect the upheaval that was to come.   The distruction of the hovels the people lived in was no big deal to Nero, the city rebuilt better then before. 

In my mind I can see this happening, Nero has a large party and all assemble on the outside balconies to watch the carnage as they ate grapes and peacock tongues.   

In my mind I can see the collapses of Chicago as in the fire in the 1800's and Obama off playing golf on vacation with his good friend Tiger Woods.

Nero fiddled, Obama faddles as far from home as he can get.

And this is why they say that if you can hear the dog whistle, you're the dog.

My first thought was Chicago, but then I figured it's the American Spectator, and is most likely reflecting the fact that blacks under obumble's reign are worse off than they have been since Eisenhower.

The very stupidest people on earth should not have a way to get together. The DUmp should be banned for decreasing the spread of mental health issues alone.

DUMB, just plain dumb. I hope those are moles for I feel sorry for the complete lack of any intelligence if those are real comments.

Just where do they think Benghazi is?  :thatsright:  Do they think it is its own country?

For any Dummies who need a Geography lesson,  Benghazi is the 2nd largest city in Libya.

Fixed for truth.

But, upon further review, there's some in the black community that have brought up a good point about gun control--why is it that the Obamessiah doesn't see it fit to address the black-on-black murder rate in the US, and it's only when 20 beautiful first-graders, all of them lily-white, get killed by someone who slipped through the convoluted mental-health system in this country, that he actually tries to do something (even if it's the wrong thing) about so-called 'gun violence.'  

Also, if you're the only one that can hear the dog whistle . . . you are the dog.
