39% of Republicans unaware Benghazi is in Libya

[DiscoBerry]

Of the 41% of Republicans who consider Benghazi to be the worst political scandal in American history, 39% are unaware that Benghazi is located in Libya.

Of the 41 percent of Republicans who consider Benghazi to be the worst political scandal in American history, 39 percent are unaware that Benghazi is located in Libya. 10 percent said it's in Egypt, 9 percent in Iran, 6 percent in Cuba, 5 percent in Syria, 4 percent in Iraq, and 1 percent each in North Korea and Liberia, with 4 percent unwilling to venture a guess.

Did not see this coming:

Voters trust Hillary Clinton over Congressional Republicans on the issue of Benghazi by a 49/39 margin and her favorability rating shows no signs of decline at 52 percent versus 44 percent unfavorable. Congressional Republicans remain unpopular with a 36/57 favorability rating.

It seems to me that the thread title is inaccurate: 39% of 41% is only about 16%. (Granted this doesn't take into account those Republicans who think that Benghazi isn't the worst scandal.)

“Of all the great cover-ups in history -- the Pentagon papers, Iran-Contra, Watergate, all the rest of them -- this ... is going to go down as most egregious cover-up in American history." He further suggested President Obama could be impeached over it.

Does that mean we can finally retire the -gate suffix in favour of -ghazi?

How long until people start talking about "Waterghazi", then?

It comes down to "It was so obviously a terrorist attack, why aren't you labeling it as such?", "Why didn't you prepare?" or even more applicable to every situation ever "You lie!"

Well according to Darrel Issa... even labeling it "an act of terror" is deceptive a opposed to a "terrorist attack"

This just in, the Man of Bats, the Knight of the Dark himself.... just facepalmed people.

This from the guy who silenced the committee in order to say Clinton's name into the camera.

They think it's the worst scandal in history?  Even worse than Clinton getting a blow job? *eyeroll*

shhhhhh! Quiet....they only just stopped obsessing about that like one election ago.

If we wish to refer to those events in the future as a scandal, then it would pretty much be a scandal worse than having the cover blown on an extra marital affair.

After all some people died because someone slipped up. If they slipped up at all.

[Lt. Fred]

The Obama administration seems to stand accused of not knowing the motivation conservatives believe was behind the attacks, something that would not influence the number of people hit by mortar fire or killed by smoke.

Also note that several members of the families of those who died have tearfully requested that the Republicans stop exploiting the deaths of their sons ect for political gain. LOL NO.
