‘That’s One of the Dumbest Questions I’ve Ever Heard’: Sen. McCain Responds to a Reporter’s Benghazi Question

Nov. 14, 2012 12:57pm Becket Adams

Senators John McCain (R-Ariz.), Lindsey Graham (R-S.C), and Kelly Ayotte (R-N.H) during a press conference on Wednesday called for an deeper investigation into the attack on the U.S. Consulate in Benghazi that killed four Americans. But During the “Q&A” portion of that press conference, a reporter asked Sen. McCain whether he thought David Petraeus’ sex scandal posed a greater threat to national security than the Benghazi attack.

The Arizona senator was blunt and unforgiving in his response: “That’s one of the dumbest questions I’ve ever heard.”

“Senator,” the reporter began, “do you think there’s a potentially greater national security threat in, apparently, nearly thousands of pages of classified documents ending up on the personal computer of a Tampa socialite … do you think that’s a potentially greater national security threat than what we’re talking about?”

“Well, I say with great respect,” Sen. McCain answered, “that’s one of the dumbest questions I’ve ever heard. Okay? There’s four dead Americans. Four dead Americans. Not a socialite.”

“It’s certainly a national security issues, but it doesn’t rise to the level of four dead Americans,” he added.

Good for McCain. That is, indeed, one of the dumbest questions ever put out there. This is the idiotic mindset behind the media black out of Benghazi and the brutal murders of our 4 Americans. Unbelievable!

  And stupid ‘reporters’ will continue to toss softballs to Obama because WE are allowing them to. Conservatives are nothing but nambly-pambly armchair internet debaters who can’t organize, who can’t get off their a55 and turn off American Idol to pen a letter to their representatives, who can’t demand that advertisers who support these news organizations and liberal mouthpieces stop supporting them, and so much more!
  
  Liberal progressives are kicking our a55es and they will continue to kick our a55es until we quit being so damn lazy and start learning from them and their tactics and start doing the same. Being “nice” certainly hasn’t done a thing except put our country and our children and grandchildren’s future in more harms way.
  
  Get off your couch, turn off your TV, put down your cheap beer, and PROTEST LOUDLY with your mouth, your feet, your money and your pen!

  It is dumb, but probably an agreed upon talking point from the Whitewash House. Stress the sex scandal so that the whole inconvenient “bump” of Benghazi can get off the front page. It seems like every time the Whitewash House or one of its acolytes seems to give an answer to a question, it opens up another avenue of more questions.

  Obama’s reelection fits in with Bible prophecy, this country destroyed till our streets are empty, and our seperating ties with Israel to leave them going to the very people that tried to destroy them before, Germany, If you disagree, just wait and you will be proved wrong.

  @ MEAT…
  It does matter because he and his FEW colleagues are out in front talking about this. If you removed LG and this senator, who else out there in the nation’s senate is speaking about this? Clue: nobody.
  
  Now, given the fact that noboby has mentioned the removement of the Commanding General who placed anti-terrorist groups on alert DURING THE RAID/ACTION (his action not directed by higher authorities because that is what is expected of Spec Ops Personnel), it’s obvious to those who know how the system works within military operations that the event in Libya was an act of terror.
  
  McCain is right in pursuing his course of questioning. It was a stupid question throughout to reorient the fish bowl. McCain is right in keeping on the administration to come clean. As a midgrade retired operative with a number of years in the middle east as well as combat tours, LIBYA STINKS with coverup. Nuf said.

  Can’t you give the guy a break? Nothing I hate more is the word Rino. It’s overused just like racist. When someone doesn’t agree with another conservative, he is a Rino, not. The far left has ruined the dems & now we have the same problem with the far right. How many didn’t even bother voting & now we are left with Obamacare. Thanks for nothing for those who didn’t vote.

  Nope, the word RINO is very useful for bashing over the heads of Republicans that don’t have the guts to stand up for the values of their constituents, and McCain is such a man. Yes, every now and then he’ll say something that’ll be really awesome, but we need more than strong words from our political leaders. And I don’t think we should forget that it was thanks to his lackluster campaign that we got Obama in the White House in the first place.

The great thing about the press conference was the faces of the senators. The open disgust for what is going on and the steely determination to do something about it was refreshing. There is no question that this election was freeing to people with courage. With courage and determination at least the truth can be exposed.

Sex scandals sell to the Obamaphone voters and dismiss the important issues that are really going on. They vilified anyone wanting to prosecute the Cigar King, making it about sex, not his offending perjury. Now they are again making it about sex when it’s about something far worse…blackmail and treason.

No one was making it about lady parts but them, they were asking the questions of obscure candidates and blew the answers all out of proportion and out of context. If they are good at anything, they are great at rewriting history and people’s memories. And everything is about sex. But to hear them talk, they are never the ones bringing it up and obsessing over it.

OPEN LETTER TO JOHN MCCAIN AND LINDSEY GRAHAM:

Dear Sirs,

I have been told by an FBI agent that they are extremely worried about what is going on in the Obama administration right now and that Barack Obama is a secret agent for the Muslim Brotherhood. President Obama and Eric Holder are currently declaring war on the CIA and are trying to blackmail General Petraeus into silence.

Please ensure that General Petraeus has bodyguards 24 hours a day starting immediately and that he is given complete protection under whistle-blower status for his upcoming testimony

I respectfully ask that President Obama be immediately arrested and taken into custody if the General indicates treason against the USA during his upcoming testimony.

  Mr. O. is perhaps five times worse than anything Nixon ever did. Its reasonable to say you are on the right track with a lot of that, but still you paint a fantasy. First I would be shocked if Gen. P. reveals what many expect they’d hear, even if the worst suspicions are true. Second any serious charges against this president would spark riots in dozens of American cities and all sorts of dissenting “proof” rebuking the witness, the investigation, etc. The MSM and the radical left know how to make their own brands of trouble. I pray that there may still be an “invisible hand” to help us up there and there’s a reason for the election results. If so, the real trials of men’s souls will be just around the corner. If not, different trials of men’s souls are coming.

The officer corp in the military all kiss a**s to get ahead. That is just the way it is. Upset senior officers or the political appointees and your career is over. You will either be drummed out or forced to retire.

Petraeus and perhaps even Allen were not in lock step with Obama and have been outed for their indiscretions.

Will Petraeus man up and tell the truth about Benghazi? It would be the honorable thing to do.

The truth could bring down the President!

  RJINGGADSEN,
  Sorry…,you are wrong. McCain HAS backbone!
  Yeah…,his campaign was ill fated. He did become quite the marshmallow. But do you REALLY BELIEVE that he could have beat the “HOPE and CHANGE” fervor of President Dunham’s 2008 campaign?!
  The G.O.P. could have run Superman as their candidate and “Clark Kent” would have been lost in the dust of an abysmally stupid majority of the electorate who would have STILL pressed the lever for OBAMA!
  I watched the presser with McCain,Graham, and Ayotte.
  The timeline of Benghazi and the reasons stated for an independent counsel were excellent
  
  All those who comment here should be doing what McCain implored them to do. And that is .., DEMAND a select committee to investigate Benghazi.
  Call your Senators and your Congressmen and DEMAND it!
  White house congressional switchboard; (202) 224-3121
  
  Stop B*#TCHING! Start DOING!
  
  Still posting from Wonderland. Down is up. Up is down. We’re painting the roses red. And as the Cheshire Cat said to Alice,”We’re ALL mad here”.
  
  Just remember while you are all here busting on McCain….,We.., the American people are far more responsible for the first and second term of Barack Obama than Senator McCain will ever be.
  We should be thankful that McCain and Graham (flawed as you may think they are) have stepped up to the plate to do the right thing.
  We should be giving them back up…,not derision.

  You spend 5 years staying alive in that hell hole without ever letting his comrades or country down, Then, tell me about having balls. Give credit where it’s due, then you can talk.
  The one thing he’s always been loud and ballsy about, is American lives, especially soldiers.

It’s all noise. There is but one true story that has not been fully vetted: the cover up of the White House in Benghazi. Let’s call a spade a spade and a traitor a traitor.

  You can’t call him a spade – that’s racist.

  I call him something else, but I won’t post it here. Even the black Americans where I work call him that.

Is this some of that “social engineering” that supposedly lead to the re-election of the same old dud for president? I did notice the media took some notice when someone mentioned sex. Maybe we really don’t have a real media anymore, there all tabloids.

“Remember Benghazi”

More distractions from the press: deny, divert, vilify and distract anything to protect and promote Obama to the end.

The question should have been:
“Senator McCain, how effective and representative is the current GOP establishment”?
Then the answer, “That is one of the dumbest questions I have ever head” would have been the appropriate response.

  It’s always good to hear the bottom line every now and then. We wouldn’t be in the mess we’re in if we actually had a two party system.

  McCain ran for president of the United States like a 10 year old girl runs for her 5th grade class president. Pathetic.

  John Elmer Fudd McCain, my Senator, has not changed. He simply “borrowed the balls” from Mia Love, Sarah Palin, or Michele Malkin. He will soon slip back into hunting that “Wascal Wabbit.”
