Family matters — Benghazi moms and Obama’s brother

Sorry liberal press and Ms. Commanday (Chris Stevens mother) you have no more authority to speak and are no more deserving of attention than Patricia Smith (mother of Sean Smith) or Charles Wood, (father of Tyrone Wood) or Kate Quigley (sister of Glen Doherty). Combined, frankly, they outrank you.*


Much was made of the dominant media about the letter to the editor by Benghazi victim Ambassador Chris Steven’s mother Mary Commanday objecting “to any mention of his name and death in Benghazi, Libya, by Donald Trump’s campaign and the Republican Party.   Conservatives have challenged the Obama Administration including then Secretary of State Hillary Clinton to come clean on the events surrounding the deaths and failures to launch a timely rescue mission.

In our cursory estimation of related Google listings where family members of three of the four victims decried the competence and truthfulness of Hillary Clinton and the Obama Administration and their cooperation in the investigation, there were many times as many references to Ambassador Stevens mother (and sister) decrying “politicization.”

It is relevant that Ambassador Stevens was a political appointee and the three other victims were there in capacities as apolitical security operatives. Pardon our cynicism but we suspect Stevens comes from a long line of Democrats. We will acknowledge any contrary information but we could not wade through all the Google hits for the search terms used  — Chris Stevens family members Democrat party — .  Instead we were overwhelmed by all the “hits” from partisan Democrat political operatives that the Google search picked up on. None seemed to get to our inquiry, and the tone in our cursory examination was uniformally sympathetic to the Stevens argument besides giving them so much play as compared to the opinions of the majority of victim’s families.

It should be noted however that as regards those close to Stevens, Lydie Denier, his  fiance, stated that there is “no doubt” in her mind Democratic presidential candidate former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton lied about the cause of the 2012 attacks on the US consulate in Benghazi

Ambassador or not, as regards Steven’s relatives, they have no greater loss than the other victims and their families nor any more authority to speak, yet they were given  huge amounts of coverage in an effort to shut down criticism of Hillary over her competence and truthfulness regarding Benghazi.

Trump ad uses Benghazi victims’ families to hit Clinton

Note the tone of the USA Today subject line “uses” .  Nevertheless the story does relate that spokespersons for the victims families other than Stevens do question Hillary’s truthfulness.

The ad features news clips of the families of victims killed in the Benghazi attack.

It begins with a clip of Clinton saying the attack on the American embassy in Benghazi, Libya, that killed four Americans, including Ambassador Christopher Stevens, was caused by a video, then shows footage of three family members of men killed in the attacks.

“She lied to me, she told me it was the fault of the video,” Patricia Smith, mother of Sean Smith, said.

“She said we are going to have the filmmaker arrested who is responsible for the death of your son,” said Charles Wood, father of Tyrone Woods.

“Absolutely” she said the attack was caused by protests, Glen Doherty’s sister, Kate Quigley, said.

It ends with a clip of Clinton laughing juxtaposed against footage of flames.

Malik Obama wants America to be Great Again

And there is this item about Barack Obama’s half-brother Malik Obama, who is supporting Donald Trump.  It has been barely reported if at all by the mainstream media. May we humbly suggest that every disagreement or declaration of non-support by a family member of a Republican running for office would be highlighted in the dominant liberal media.

*The truth outranks all, but transparency in that regard has not been coming from Hillary or Obama
