Democrat congress members walk out of Benghazi hearing before witnesses can testify

Anyone remember something odd that happened in a place called Benghazi?

Hard to recall cuz it happened SOoo long ago--a whole year--but I vaguely remember something about a mob of Muslims attacking a U.S. outpost and killing four Americans.  I think one of the men killed was an ambassador or something.

Hillary said it was because of a video on the internet that insulted Islam, and she promised to investigate to find out why the guys were killed.  And Lord Obama promised to investigate.  But oddly, his administration refused to allow survivors of the attack to testify before the House.

So last Thursday the House Government Oversight Committee decided to get the ball rolling, by inviting the parents of two of the men killed to appear before the committee and testify.

As the hearing began, all but two of the Democrat congresspeople on the committee got up and walked out.

You may well wonder what purpose such an act served.  It didn't prevent the parents from testifying, but it did allow the Democrat members to avoid having to cast a possible vote on a motion to do something more significant, like a resolution demanding that the Obama administration produce certain other witnesses.

I guess walking out to avoid a damaging vote has become an acceptable tactic for Democrats.

Can you imagine how the network newscasts would have howled if this had been done by Republicans?  It would have been front-page news--complete with large color photos of fleeing members.

But as of yesterday this seemingly significant story hadn't been mentioned by a single mainstream media outlet.

It can't be because it wasn't significant.  I guess they just didn't want you to know.

Gee, wonder why?
