During a House Oversight and Government Reform Committee hearing concerning the events leading up to the Sept.11, 2012 attacks on the U.S. consulate in B******i, Libya, Democrats left the room and refused to listen to the testimony of parents of those slain at the diplomatic compound.

Patricia Smith, the mother of Information Management Officer Sean Smith, who was k**led in the 9/11 B******i attack and Charles Woods, the father of Navy Seal Tyrone Woods, who was also k**led, testified about the lives and untimely deaths of their sons.

Right before the testimony began, according to Representative Darryl Issa (R-CA) the majority of Democratic lawmakers excused themselves from the hearings.

According to reports, the only Democrats who stayed were Ranking Member Elijah Cummings (MD) and Representative Jackie Speier (CA).

Here is a list of the ones who ran away like the cowards they are:
1. Carolyn Maloney(NY-14), Elanore Holmes Norton (D.C.), John Tierney (MA-6) WM Lacy Clay (MO-1), Stephen Lynch (MA-9), Jim Cooper (TN-5), Gerald Connolly (VA-11), Matt Cartwright (PA-17), Mark Pocan (WI-1), Tammy Duckworth (IL-8), Danny K. Davis (IL-7), Peter Welch (VT), Tony Cardenas (CA-29), Steve Horsford (NV-4), Michelle Lujan Grisham( NM-1)

If any of these cowards are up for ree******n in your districts and you still v**e for them, then you can consider yourself the reason our country is in the mess it's in.

SAMBO???

What an outrageous r****t comment. It's people like you the President was talking about at the time of the 2012 e******n when he spoke about those who want to take us back to the social policies of the 1950's. Your phony red-baiting remarks also remind me of that decade's paranoid mindset.

We are NOT living under c*******m, which is a planned, centrally-directed economy. Ours is a free-market economy.

You also called the president a dictator. You seem to have forgotten about Dubya and his so-called "Patriot" act. This legislation, rammed through congress after 9/11 gave L'il Bush (and the people who used him) the authority to spy on anyone they wanted. All done to make us "safer" as a part on his "war on terror." Whenever someone pointed out that this violates the Bill of Rights, he would just say "we need to do it." Now that's what I call being a dictator.

What an i***t you are, saying things like that. If Obama was a dictator, you wouldn't have been allowed to stay alive after making those remarks. If we lived under a central-american type dictator you would have simply disappeared.

It's too bad when free speech also protects these types of lies from ignorant excuses for humanity like you.

Actually we put up with MORE of this from Bush 43...but then there's allot of history rewriting going on by the radical right. Learn your history, the great depression, the great recession, both start by the radical right...LEARN YOUR HISTORY!
B******i??? Under Bush 54 attacks on American overseas soil, 13 Americans k**led...PLUS 9/11...all this is fine with the radical right? Sure was, not one word from ANY of these nuts!
This IRS crap? Any right winger out there know who Douglas Shulman is...I seriously doubt it. He was in charge of the IRS when this latest "right wing crap" hit the fan. Who appointed Shulman, well none other than Bush in March of 08! Another dingy right winger who can't do his job.
BUt then like any good goose stepper, don't bother with the facts, just watch Fox news, they'll tell you what you can think...I suppose that's why this country just gets dumber and dumber...you got 50% of the right that's brainless (like the above quote) and 25% of the left and just as stupid.
