I am very disappointed that Mitt Romney is trying to climb over the dead bodies of American ambassadors in an attempt to gain the White House. Absolutely disgusting display of a self absorbed dolt.

How can he possibly justify such an unacceptable display of disrespect?

Default Welcoming all conspiracy theories regarding the American Embassy attack in Libya

Who do you think is really behind the film that inflamed these people. Sam Bacile is in hiding and doesn't have any identifiable public records.

This was the statement released BEFORE the attacks:
I was pointing that out as well. But the Obama pundits do not want to deal with this.
They aren't even acknowledging the Cairo attack. All the focus is on Libya.

Then Obama was disqualified as soon as he said "the police acted stupidly".

You need to get your facts straight...The Romney campaign attacked the Cairo embassy statement that was issued following attacks on that embassy, and before news emerged of the attack on the Libyan embassy and the killing of Ambassador Chris Stevens.

Below is the statement Romney is attributing to Obama...Mitt is a low life bottom feeding liar...

"The Embassy of the United States in Cairo condemns the continuing efforts by misguided individuals to hurt the religious feelings of Muslims – as we condemn efforts to offend believers of all religions," the embassy said in the statement, which was published online.

Here is the pertinent part of Obama's statement...

"The United States condemns in the strongest terms this outrageous and shocking attack," the president said. He said the US is working with the Libyan government to bring the attackers to justice.

"Make no mistake, justice will be done," Obama said.

Don't see too much back up here:

Romney calls Obama administration response to Libya attacks ‘disgraceful’

Romney ratchets up criticism of Obama on initial response to embassy attacks - NBC Politics

Yep, just straight forward reporting on what actually happened.....which is Romney showed leadership and Obama once again showed his pandering to radicals and his foreign policy weakness.
As I said earlier, it wouldn't take long for the rest of it to come rolling in--print media just hadn't caught up with the news yet. I'm sure more will be rolling in as the afternoon goes on...

Yet, you were one of the first to try and pin the Gabby Giffords shooting and Jared Loughner on tea party folks.

Ironic, isn't it?

By the way, Romney did exactly what he should have done given the pathetic response of our about-to-be-fired president.

It's no different from racism.
This. ^^ It never ceases to amaze me how posters like jt and other fundamentalist Christians can slam Islamic extremists with a straight face. They are exactly the same; the only difference is the brand of religion they exploit to push their extreme views.
