The Hill: House Republican members are defying Speaker John Boehner (R-Ohio) and five committee chairmen by endorsing a measure that would set up a special panel to investigate the deadly attacks in Benghazi, Libya. A growing number of members on the committees with jurisdiction over the Benghazi matter — Intelligence, Judiciary, Oversight and Government Reform, Armed Services and Foreign Affairs — have signed onto Rep. Frank Wolf’s (R-Va.) resolution. Boehner

“Reporter Claims IRS Harassment After Tough Obama Interview”
Dana Loesch: St. Louis Reporter Larry Conners revealed via Facebook yesterday that he has been “hammered” by the IRS since his much-discussed interview with President Obama. Conners, a veteran reporter, asked tough, but fair question during the interview which was slammed by progressives in media. Conners says: Shortly after I did my April 2012 interview with President Obama, my wife, friends and some viewers suggested that I might need to

Why I was wrong about John Boehner’s cowardice
Yes, it’s true that even after the President went (briefly) before the press yesterday, repeated a set of lies that we already know to be lies — and we know this as a matter of fact, not conjecture, based on internal State Department emails and, once corroborated, to the under-oath testimony of the Benghazi whistleblowers — and essentially dared the Republican leadership (and to some extend the mainstream press) to

All the President’s Good Men
Jim Geraghty, Morning Jolt: Allow me to remind you what Obama said a week ago: “Unfortunately, you’ve grown up hearing voices that incessantly warn of government as nothing more than some separate, sinister entity that’s at the root of all our problems. Some of these same voices also do their best to gum up the works. They’ll warn that tyranny always lurking just around the corner. You should reject these

AND, it is not just the IRS carrying the Obama Administration’s water … [Darleen Click]
Another alphabet agency gets in on the “Conservatives are the enemy” marching orders; this time it’s the EPA Conservative groups seeking information from the Environmental Protection Agency have been routinely hindered by fees normally waived for media and watchdog groups, while fees for more than 90 percent of requests from green groups were waived, according to requests reviewed by the Competitive Enterprise Institute.

Nancy Pelosi blames the IRS scandal on Citizens United [Darleen Click] UPDATED
… because one should never let a crisis go to waste … REP. NANCY PELOSI (D-CA): Well, I think it’s an opportunity. Let me say it this way, if, in fact, the IRS was targeting people because of their title, that would be wrong. It should be condemned. The whole idea, of 501(c)(4)s being engaged in politics is something we’ve got to put in a spotlight and maybe this is

Even whores can be raped … [Darleen Click]
… but when it is by their own pimp one wonders how long the outrage will last. The U.S. Justice Department has seized without notice comprehensive phone records for reporters and editors at the Associated Press, prompting the news agency to protest Monday directly to U.S. Attorney General Eric Holder. “I am writing to object in the strongest possible terms to a massive and unprecedented intrusion by the Department of

“Chaos and Corruption on the Southern Border: A Texas Rancher Speaks”
A funny thing happened to Doug Ross on the way to Blogcon. Turns out much of our southern border is already indistinguishable from Mexico, according to a rancher he met on the plane. And that’s just the politics and the corruption. And the street tacos. Which isn’t really funny, I realize, and probably not new information for most of us, save for maybe the extent. But it’s the extent that’s

Obama on Benghazi cover-up: “there’s no there there”
See? There’s nothing new in any of that whistleblower testimony. We know this because Obama says so. I guess he figures it’s the mainstream press and his apologists and enablers against FOX News, a handful of extremist rightwing talk radio outlets (who are charter members of the VRWC), and the kinds of rightwing blogs that nobody reads anyway. Guess Obama and the left figure they may as well put to
