Well, I do agree that Benghazi deserves huge outrage...and I'm not a tea partier, but I get your meaning...
That said, there does seem to be quite a bit of overreaction, on both sides.
To say there is no basis for some of the criticism, is simply untrue. To say that the amount of discussion is warranted is also untrue.
I've largely stayed out of this battle except when it was dragged into national. I made my displeasure known and was met with animosity and closemindedness for from one side and apologies from the other.
It's great to stand up for someone and something you believe in...but losing all rationality is never a good thing.
There has been SO MUCH overreaction in this situation, it's hard to list each occurrence. But here are a few:
SG caring about the dog photo
Whispers caring about condom changes
Anyone caring about SKF's ex-girlfriend
GFEJunkie comparing anything to Nazism
Louigi just being Louigi (ok, that's a joke)
This thread has turned into two sides of irrational people fighting a losing battle because neither side can see the other's point(s).
