A comprehensive New York Times investigation into the deadly 2012 attack on the U.S. diplomatic compound in Benghazi found no evidence of involvement by al-Qaeda or other terrorist groups; in fact, according to the report, the attack was largely fueled by anger at the American-made video "The Innocence of Muslims."

I'm not sure what your comment is pointed at or responding to - But by 'muslim' do you mean Middle-Eastern people?

Because the Christians in Pakistan probably hate us just as much as the Muslims there do - And, for a random example, German Muslims probably don't hate us any more or less than any other German.

And American-Muslims certainly don't hate Americans.

Speaking personally, I don't have animosity towards Muslims because a cult-like offshoot of religious extremists attacked us on 9/11. But because of our foreign policy and military actions, I can understand why people have animosity towards us. Yesterday 6:16pm

1. Universal health care. let the free market do drive competition and let government stay out of my health and wallet.

Passed 90s Republican healthcare plan, previousdly passed by Mitt Romney when he was governor of MA. While not perfect, it still brought better care at low prices. Is entirely market based.

Also, you may have noticed doing it your way didn;t work. That's why it needed to be fixed.

2. Loves to tax the hard working Americans.

In reality, has not raised taxes. Even extended Bush's temporary tax cuts.

3. hates guns and wants to take our guns away. Eventually using the military to seize power from the people.

Has passed exactly zero legislation regulating gun ownership- even those that 80% of Americans favor. Only legislation that has pass regarding gun rights had been to expand places where gun nuts can bring their guns- places like national parks.

4. spies on honest Americans.

This is true. But, I'm imagining you don't care much when Bush does it.

5. he shook Raul castro's hand.

Do you think he got cooties? What are you, five?

Is that why you troll? Seriously Starmember, just to provoke any sort of emotional response? I mean there was only one or two responses here that showed any genuine annoyance, let alone anger. And you're not even wasting anyone's time by hijacking the conversation because the kinja system is setup so that multiple threads co-exist for every article, so everyone who has responded to you did so of they're own volition — you haven't tricked anyone really (straight-forwardly telling a lie at the start and being called on it almost immediately isn't much of a trick). And Gawker is all about the conversations, so saying something provocative to start the conversation is pretty much expected and not, in and of itself, considered trolling.

Of course, maybe you're only saying now that this has all been a troll because you're trying to pretend that your initial comments were that ignorant on purpose. In which case — nice save! Yesterday 8:00pm

"1. Universal health care. let the free market do drive competition and let government stay out of my health and wallet."

Medicaid and Medicare have been around for quite some time now. How did the Republicans not wipe that out while they were in office? Or are they socialists too?

"2. Loves to tax the hard working Americans."

Yes, not the rich who have money to spare for higher taxes. They paid for his campaign, after all.

"3. hates guns and wants to take our guns away. Eventually using the military to seize power from the people."

Please tell us which piece of legislation has banned which types of guns. I'm at a bit of a loss to identify any.

The militarization of police forces happened under G. W. Bush. You might remember 9/11? The Patriot Act? The Department of Homeland Security? The (domestic) War on Terror? No?

"4. spies on honest Americans."

That's the NSA. Neither the Democrats nor the Republicans run the NSA. Try again.

"5. he shook Raul castro's hand."

Nixon shook Mao Zedong's hand. I'm pretty sure he didn't suddenly abandon the Republican Party in favor of the Communist Party. In some circles, shaking someone's hand is considered polite behaviour. You can even look it up, if you choose.

"6. Hates freedom."

Which is why there are only State run newspapers, television, radio, and movies. Riiiiight.

"7. Wants to increase funding for "urban" people."

You mean people living in cities and towns? Where most of America lives? So... like... funding most of the populace? Should all government spending be limited to farmers and ranchers, or just those living in the wilderness?

"...which is against all Muslim beliefs in any country."

That's a vastly sweeping and short sighted statement.
All Muslims don't believe the same thing nor hold the same political views - just like how all Christians don't have the same beliefs and views nor do all Jews.

And let's be honest. The U.S. has done WAY more than just 'support Israel's right to exist'. Way, way, way more.

It's also naive of you to think Egyptian Christians like or seek out America. They go several places as refugees - America isn't high on that list.

Sarcasm is great, trolling is shit. Congrats on attracting the flies, shit!

Giving a "shout out" to Reagan was the best part IMO Today 12:13am

I replied to the op. I'm sorry if this will make it difficult for you to see my reply. I find this way of replying confusing. Sorry about that.

God, you are stupid! I so pity you. "hates freedom," for christssake, are you kidding me? who actually writes something so addle-brained?

lame ass bitch Today 1:21am

This is what I posted, which seems to have disappeared (I'm not very computer-literate, obviously): Let's just say that something like Newsmax would be too conservative, and New York Times is much too liberal. To be honest with you, I don't think that there are a lot of middle-of-the-road newspapers. I've given up…

ArdenUleavefatassalone1L
Consistency. If Bush can stand watch on almost a dozen embassies attacked and people getting killed without so much as the media batting an eye, but Obama stands watch over Benghazi and suddenly it's impeachment worthy, I'd like to know what the cognitive dissonance behind it is.

Bush embasy attacks = good
Obama embasy attacks = KILL HIM HE'S A WARLOCK MUSLIM! Today 1:28am

leavefatassaloneUArden1L
Like I stated before, it isn't my cognitive dissonance, it is yours. I hated the Bushes since probably before you were born. Today 1:32am

Pastor of MuppetsUStarMember1L
Wait, how is this comment not sarcasm? Today 2:19am

Franklymydear123
In regards to 5, non issue. Considering the tumultuous history the US has had with Cuba there isn't really a path to go where you don't end up irritating people. You a Limbaugh fan?

Pastor of Muppets
Bravo.

"LOL you are the most naive gullible libtard on Gawker, and that is saying a whole huge hell of a lot"

This is parody, right? Sarcasm? Youre not really that stupid are you? "a whole huge hell of a lot"? Seriously? Today 2:45am

AshisyouUleavefatassalone1L
You hurt my feelings. Stop being a mean panda and give me a hug, silly. Today 2:46am

Thanks for making me laugh! Today 2:48am

GrigoritheOctoUStarMember1L
It was #6 that gave up the troll for me, but thanks for giving that its own number. I spit beer out when I read it because of the hilarity. Today 2:49am

Yeah because a liberal socialist government would sanction drone strikes on a regular basis.

VeryWellUPastor of Muppets1L
I can't tell who you're talking to because your name is too long, nor do I care about your intent; that burner handle. Today 3:12am

Because that is all you want to see, facts be damned.

You're bad at trolling.

ChongsboyUleavefatassalone1L
I dunno about that~ Could be? I have no clue. Today 5:42am

Has everyone forgotten all the articles about the moles who literally work for fox news and post shit on gawker? No one should be responding to stuff like this.

FargonautULithnia1L
I love you... Today 7:56am

naru-joe93
Oh man, you troll too good for us. You coolest guy in gawker comments

cornpuff
That's "all" you see? Because you're wearing blinders, of course.

brandonjayeUthuggyBear1L
You got trolled enough to bring out the n-word. You win, and by that I mean the troll got you the worst. Today 10:34am

Tlachtga
A lot of us just spent Christmas with our relatives, where these bullet points are all taken seriously. Gotta give us a little slack.

Scytherius
You and a few million other morons (2.5 million in fact). Facts are something that you eschew like the plague.

decgeekULongSnake1L
Don't you know that "urban" (wink, wink) is the new right wing socially acceptable replacement for the "N" word but has the added benefit of including hispanics and liberal hipsters who also congregate in cities. Its what the republicans call being more inclusive. Today 10:42am

What Sam
We got a troll!

The NYT has long been the PR arm of the CIA. They are completely compromised, and yes, probably lying. Today 11:47am

Funyuns for breakfast
This thread was far more humorous than expected.

BfunkadeliaUStarMember1L
It's a sign of a weak stance when a person attacks the deliverer of a story or position, instead of the story or position. Today 12:21pm

Mr.Dgaf
Noooooooooo! This is too funny. It cant be real

how were you able to scan your crayon scribblings into text like this? Today 1:22pm

1, the ACA is patterned on Romneycare. You remember Mitt Romney, the Republican presidential candidate of 2012? When he was governor of MA he said it was the right thing to make certain that everyone had insurance so as not to be a drain on the social welfare nets. The big difference between ACA and Romneycare? Romneycare pays for abortions and has single payer (socialized medicine) the ACA has neither.

2, if he loves to tax hardworking US citizens why are taxes at their lowest point in over thirty years?

3, really can you show any of us how or have you only been watching Fox?

4, just like it was authorized under GW Bush.

5, and did you feel the same way when Reagan and GHW Bush shook hands with Fidel Castro and when McCain gave a hug to the Communist Vietnamese leader who was in charge of the prison camps?

6, really? How?

7, really, are you meaning not cutting food stamps?

8, this was disproved before the week was out the first time this was brought up. that seals the deal. You are listening only to Teabagger/Kochsucker sycophant who gets their drivel from the approved sewers that they call outlets. Today 1:28pm
