Islamic Spring–
Radical Islamist groups including Shariah Guardians Brigade, an Al-Qaeda linked group, held a massive military parade in Benghazi 90 days before US Ambassador Chris Stevens was slaughtered at the US Consulate. On Friday pro-Salafist protesters held another rally.

On Friday pro-Salafist demonstrators rallied in Benghazi.
Then they lobbed grenades at security forces and torched cars.
Star Africa reported:
Libyan demonstrators lobbed hand grenades at security forces and set cars ablaze after a rally in Benghazi on Friday in support of a hardline Salafist group which was evicted from the second city.
More than 200 men converged on Benghazi’s Al-Jalaa Hospital, which was guarded by members of Ansar al-Sharia until Friday of last week, when anti-militia protesters forced them out, an AFP correspondent reported.
“We want Ansar al-Sharia to come back and protect this hospital,” a placard read.
The crowd then marched on a nearby security forces building.
Interior ministry forces fired warning shots in the air from inside the base. Demonstrators responded by throwing hand grenades at the outer walls and torching two parked cars.
Troops arrived quickly on the scene and the crowd dispersed. Some 25 soldiers took up position around the building.
“There is no loss of life — we have taken control of the situation,” General Manaa bin Hamid of the army’s newly created National Mobile Force told AFP. He added that the identity of the assailants was unknown.
The rally comes a week after mass demonstrations against militias ended in the eviction of several paramilitary groups from Benghazi, cradle of the 2011 revolt that toppled Moamer Kadhafi…
…Violence last Friday killed 11 people in Benghazi.
Aljazeera has more on the violent pro-Salafist protest.
Related… For security reasons, FBI agents are staying away from the Libyan city where a U.S. ambassador and three other Americans were killed. They still have not investigated the terror scene.

Mahdi Al-Dajjal commented:
Oh… when they lob grenades (or shoot them from a grenade launcher), that’s a DEFINITE INDICATION that the protest is spontaneous. (just anybody in the Obama Administration).

The solution, GODDAMNIT is not to “add” “conservative” writers to the Washington Post. The solution is to STOP LYING, and STOP SPIKING real stories.
I subscribed to the Washington Post for nearly twenty years, and I have sandblasted them for poor work product quality, and had my comments get included in some Ombudsman’s column as coming from”conservatives.”
F**K You, Washington Post. The problem is the LYING. Forget this crap about political point of view. You publish lies, and you spike real stories. That is why your circulation is falling. You are not as bad as the New York Times, and you are, consequently, not in as bad a financial position as that worthless organization. (Literally — the New York Times is worth about the price of the land it’s offices stand on.)
Work Product Quality. That is a problem, Mr. Ombudsman.

Limbaugh: Obama Blocking FBI from Libya Crime Scene
Two weeks after Islamists murdered U.S. Ambassador Chris Stevens, FBI agents still have not been granted access to the U.S. consulate in Libya to investigate the crime scene. And conservative talk radio host Rush Limbaugh believes the Obama administration does not want the FBI on the scene to find facts about the attack that would hurt the president.
Limbaugh suggested on his Friday radio show the FBI was not in Libya because they would “find out what happened.”
“The FBI will not lie about what they find, so the regime has got to keep them out of there,” Limbaugh said. “If you have the FBI conducting an investigation and telling everybody officially what we know, that’s not good for the regime.”
Limbaugh said if Obama prevents the FBI from going to Libya, then there is no way for them to “get to the bottom of it.”
The Obama administration has consistently misled Americans about whether they knew of threats against U.S. interests in Libya leading up to the eleventh anniversary of the 9/11 attacks, and Limbaugh believes an FBI investigation would further contradict the administration’s debunked talking points — like how an Internet movie was responsible for this wave of anti-American violence.

I gave them $450,000,000.00 of the Taxpayer’s money and they are just jubilant… burning cars, and throwing hand grenades!
As Crony Susan Rice would say, “It’s just a spontaneous celebration for 0bama!”
