Conservatives Totally Bust Democrats For Covering Up Gruber Hearing With Torture Report
The Senate Intelligence Committee released its torture report today, officially launching “rectal feeding” as a trending topic (and hopefully not a boomlet in tapas restaurants), and fulfilling an Obama administration plot to cover up the Gruber hearings. So say the razor-sharp conservative denizens of Twitter, including one-time Republican presidential frontrunner Herman Cain:
Hey. Let’s release the ‘torture’ report and maybe they won’t pay attention to the Gruber testimony. http://t.co/xKUoteIFeK

Man, just when America was finally about to exact justice on the man who blew up Nakatomi Plaza, this happens.
Actually, the Gruber hearings they’re talking about are only slightly less stupid than holding a trial for the villain from Die Hard, “stupid” being the Word of the Day. The actual stated purpose of the hearing was to find out how a clerical error resulted in 400,000 out of 7 million ACA enrollments being overreported (hint: it was a clerical error), and to beat up on Jonathan Gruber for calling Americans “stupid” a bunch of times. Why would the Obama administration want to cover up the fact that Republican House Oversight and Reform Committee Chairman Darrel Issa (R-Calif.) is spending his time, and our money, on this?
We’ll skip over the gentleman from Nebraska asking Gruber, “Have you now, or have you ever been, laid?” and just cut right to…READ MORE

How dare they call attention away from our made up phony scandal with a real scandal?

Poor, poor Darrel Issa! Just when he’s back out from under the Benghazi report showing nothing improper was done in that damned Kenyan Socialist’s illegal administration, now the Gruber thing fizzles. What’s a megalomaniac to do??

Watch Gone in 60 Seconds for the 1541st time and reminisce?

Darrell watched it once and hated it because he was jealous.

Yeah, but which one–the original or the Nick Cage remake? :)

Try again and find another “scandal”, I guess…

The sad part about this last hurrah from Issa and his whack-a-mole attempts at getting a good hit on a conspiracy (aka hating The Man), the next congress is going to be exponentially more inane.

Issa is doing his version of a Mary Loretta Landrieu exit.

All I can say is: STFU!
The United states of American has been lied to and demeaned by a corrupt, evil administration that engaged in torture and broke international and domestic laws.
Cheney, Bush and Rumsfeld should be the first to face a war crimes tribunal immediately.

Republicans hate Gruber so much they want to run his former boss mittens once more in 2016.

They are just mad cause Gruber pretty much called the rwnj’s idiots and deep down, they know he is telling the truth. On a side note, did anyone see Gowdy’s haircut and the style of his facial hair? What is he 20? Kind of looked a little silly to me.

Gruber is only important to Republicans. It’s the new Benghazi. The torture report is their Benghazu, IRS, Fast & Curious….all wrapped into one. And, it’s legitimate.

I read the “error” was clerical because people who bought BOTH dental and medical, seperate policies were counted as…wait for it, TWO policies

I don’t care what any of those do nothing Baggers say. This pales by comparison when you think of all the things they’ve done (or haven’t done) the last six years…

Impugning the motives of people is the favorite fallacious argument of conservatives.
