Romney response -- then Obama campaign responds to the disgusting Romney politicizing it. By the way, can that Fla "preacher" face criminal charges as accessory?

So the Left's response to Muslim aggression is to dispense with our most sacred rights. Will the Left stand for anything besides gay marriage and abortion?

So, you are saying that Romney condemned the violence BEOFRE it happened? and you are calling me a fool?
NO--he condemned the Obama administrations response to the violence before they'd even made one, and instead attributed a statement made by the Cairo embassy during the day yesterday, long before the violence started so it was completely out of context, to the administration. It was about as lame and opportunistic as it gets.

I thought the Muslim Brotherhood was supposed to be our allies after we helped get rid of Gaddafi? This is looking like 1980 all over again. Bad economy, Radical muslims attacking american embassies. Barrack Obama is now officially Jimmy Carter 2.0

Does this guy have a clue how Government works?
Wait to hear? Why wait. You would THINK our government would condemn the attacks.

The folks attacking Romney for doing the right thing disturb me more than the apology to Muslims. But just barely.

12//09//2012___U.S. Ambassador in Libya (bani ghazi) They are lynching the US ambassador, exactly as they did to Gadaffi. Don't believe the mainstream media lies about him being killed by a rocket propelled grenade!

The WH condemned the attacks: ""strongly condemns the outrageous attack" (Obama) & "in the strongest terms" (Clinton).

I agree that the media should ignore koran burners and other idiots making movies like the one in question. You know people in US and in the west will tolerate such actions, but you also know some islamist radicals will do something stupid like kill people when they see it. Even the Bible says to not "pull a sleeping dog by the ears". I suppose it would be OK, if people who burned the korans faced the consequence themselves, but it is always others who pay the price for their actions, and that's not cool.

“While the United States rejects efforts to denigrate the religious beliefs of others, we must all unequivocally oppose the kind of senseless violence that took the lives of these public servants,” Mr. Obama said in a statement released by the White House.
By mentioning the film in the same statement he is establishing a moral equivalency between the film and the attacks. In America we can make any films we want. Muslims some of the most vilest things about Jews, Muslims and other groups no one storms their embassies.

The film itself has been out for sometime on Youtube which btw has some pretty stringent guidelines. To an astute reader his condemnation is nothing more than a perfunctory act, it's expected.

We're in an election year you think Romney is simply going to let Obama do whatever he wants and not respond? Grow up.

My heartfelt condolences to those affected by this heinous act of a small group of extremists.

Statement on the Attack in Benghazi

Please join me in my prayers for a peaceful resolution to this terrible event.
What you are really saying is that it is ok to kill Americans and we are to do nothing about it......

Romney's an idiot. He issued a statement condemning events that hadn't occurred.

The Government did condemn the attacks.

Where have you been?
