Common sense losing ground to ridiculousness

(Note: I read Kathleen Parker's op-ed this morning published in the Greenville News. I've been unable to access it online there, but it was in the WAPO today--see paragraph 7. In it, she says that the Benghazi committee has done nothing but persecute Hillary Clinton, and all that has been uncovered is that she was hackable. 

Knowing how ridiculous that it, I had to zap this out in response to her inane conclusions. I doubt the paper will print this--although they have surprised me before--so I'm self-publishing to vent my outrage and disbelief.)

Whoa! Just read Kathleen Parker's op-ed from Tues., Oct. 6, about McCarthy and Hillary Clinton where she writes: "The Benghazi hearings that led to the private server, that led to the 30,000 emails, that led to the FBI investigation that thus far has led only to the conclusion that she was hackable..." Seriously?

That's all? How about this, for starters: 

1. She lied about why she needed/wanted the second server,
2. She lied about the classified documents on the second server,
3. The second server was in the bathroom of a private residence; this server being the one that the U.S. Secretary of State used to transact classified government business a
4. She lied about the timing of the second server 
5. The FBI reported finding 188 emails containing classified information 
6. She also lied about being subpoenaed by the Benghazi committee. 
7. Must I go on?

So, all we know is that she was hacked? Right.

Are we becoming so short-sighted that we can't even acknowledge the lies from a politician? And when the truth isn't what we want to hear, are we truly that callous that we turn a blind eye, a deaf ear (thinking of the Planned Parenthood situation here)?

If a Republican says there is no global warming, the media jumps all over it, using data, facts and figures to rebut the statement. But let Hillary turn the entire Benghazi debacle around to make it a witch hunt about herself (forgetting that four Americans died while our country stood by and did nothing, then lied about it) and the pundits are tripping over their own keyboards to get the word out that she has been take advantage of, because, after all, she was only hacked.

We have got to gain some perspective. I just hope it happens before the 2016 election.
