Nearly, what...ten years?, of Harper have kinda eroded my view of Canada as some mythical liberal Eden. I wouldn't argue it's still better in many ways, but yeah.

D.N. Nation posted:The gnashing of teeth from middle-aged hack cartoonists about the print edition of Playboy getting rid of naked breasts is...telling. This isn't really fair... Playboy had enormous cultural influence for many years, and now it's a big nothing. I don't think these cartoons are "gnashing of teeth" as much as "a thing happened". Also, dirty magazines are inherently funny, so I can't blame them for trying squeeze a little humor out of the situation.

So is he saying that the anti-Islam film maker guy was working for Clinton or something? Only thing I can get from it is some anti-Hilldawg conspiracy or just a mixed gag bag.

I don't even know what the latest Benghazi conspiracy theory is anymore. Do they think Hillary secretly encouraged it to happen? Or that she didn't do enough to prevent it? Or that it was a cover for something else? I know there was the "this was a terrorist attack and you're downplaying it by calling it a violent protest about a movie" angle, but that is really old and I don't even know what the hell they're claiming anymore, which means their attempt at making her look bad is failing.

Also it usually has something to do with the US's magic instant response teams that can teleport anywhere in the world on command, yet for some reason Hillary didn't order them to teleport to Benghazi and magic everybody to safety with a wave of their Harry Potter wands.

I am really surprised Benghazi has lived this long. Not as a right-wing meme, mind you, considering that Vince Foster and Whitewater still get rbought up in 2015. I mean that actual political action continues regarding it. I figured after Romney got slaughtered for trying to exploit it during the election they quietly stop doing anything about it, and instead they'd just whine until the Clintons are dead.

I guess by now they've put so much effort into making Benghazi an issue that they can't just quietly drop it. Their base expects them to do something about it, even if that something is a bunch of useless hearings which waste everyone's time. The general public doesn't seem to care all that much, though. Hillary's emails were a much bigger topic in the last few months than Benghazi. But who knows, maybe that'll change in January when Michael Bay's Benghazi film is released.

Dr Cheeto posted:Does anyone remember what Hillary was supposed to gain by preventing a deus ex machina? I'm losing track of the Benghazi mythos. Obama either needed to engineer a terrorist attack in order to make people rally behind him to get elected or to make it look like it was just people angry about an internet video and definitely wasn't a terrorist attack depending on who you ask. Hillary is involved because she is evil and also because she was helping Obama. Considering that Romney couldn't contain his glee after the attack and people died since he figured it was going to catapult him in the polls it's more projection of their own loathsome behavior.

Now they think, "Aha! The shoe is on the other foot! Liberals hate Carson even though he's done nothing! That clearly means they hate him because he's black!" It doesn't take much to point out how wrong either statement is though.

Much like what Obama was supposed to have done wrong w/r/t Benghazi, it differs depending on who you ask and how reasonable they are currently attempting to sound I think the emails-hiding-Benghazi-truth hypothesis was recently floated by one Stilton Jarlsberg in particular
