Mob storms U.S. Embassy in Cairo and sets fire to consulate in Libya

Does anyone else wonder if Huma Abedin was behind this?

You channeling your inner WC or just tying one off again? Making stuff up is fun and all but on a 1 to 10 stupid scale I would put this one at an 8.

Now what I would like you to do is think about your comments about oversimplification in regards to tax cuts efficacy and then compare and contrast that with your reasoning here.

You also have to consider how Obama would have behaved concerning to event leading up to the Missle Crisis such as the pissing contest over oil exportation, the Bay of Pigs and other such CIA shenanigans.

I mean that is even before you consider all that Obama has actually done versus the dove reputation the GOP has been saddled with. As a whole I have to say your parroting of the GOP narrative has me picturing you with your brandy tumbler getting hammered and yelling at the TV as you watch Fox News until you pass out.

This can't be about a movie. God bless

Republicans Shake Their Heads At Romney’s Libya Attack On Obama: He ‘Stepped In It’


The Post said Romney’s attack “is a discredit to his campaign.”

While the Romney campaign’s unofficial press secretary Jen Rubin tried to rally some troops around the GOP presidential nominee, it doesn’t look like the day is turning out to be a big winner for Romney as Republicans are turning out en masse to denounce his attacks:

“I don’t think President Obama sympathizes with those who attacked us. I don’t think any American does.” — Former Bush administration DHS Secretary Tom Ridge

“In the wake of this violence, the rush by Republicans — including Mitt Romney, Sarah Palin and scores of other conservative critics — to condemn him for policies they claim helped precipitate the attacks is as tortured in its reasoning as it is unseemly in its timing.” — Mark Salter, former chief of staff and top campaign aide to Sen. John McCain (R-AZ)

“They were just trying to score a cheap news cycle hit based on the embassy statement and now it’s just completely blown up,” said a very senior Republican foreign policy hand, who called the statement an “utter disaster” and a “Lehman moment” — a parallel to the moment when John McCain, amid the 2008 financial crisis, failed to come across as a steady leader. … “This is just unbelievable — when they decide to play on it they completely bungle it.”

But [a former Romney adviser] does have a good read on Romney–a man with a healthy sense of pride, and who’s already invested in the idea of Obama as an appeaser. It was the only plausible explanation the adviser could think of for how “they stepped in it,” in his words.

“I don’t feel that Mr. Romney has been doing himself any favors, say in the past few hours, perhaps since last night. Sometimes when really bad things happen, when hot things happen, cool words or no words is the way to go.” — Conservative commentator Peggy Noonan

“This is a time when we all should reflect on those who continue to give, even the last measure, of service and sacrifice, to promoting and defending America’s interests abroad. This is above all a reminder that politics should end at the waters edge.” — Jon Huntsman, former Republican governor of Utan and 2012 GOP presidential candidate.

Gecko, and his staff, DUMB as a bag of hammers. While his words flow better than, no so many fractured phrases as dubya, don't try to parse what he says. It's 100% flatulence.

Romney Accuses Obama Of Sympathizing With Attackers Who Killed U.S. Ambassador

MITT ROMNEY: “I’m outraged by the attacks on American diplomatic missions in Libya and Egypt and by the death of an American consulate worker in Benghazi.

It’s disgraceful that the Obama administration’s first response was not to condemn attacks on our diplomatic missions, but to sympathize with those who waged the attacks.”

What's really amazing is that Romney decided to double down on his remark.

Willard is one of the worst campaigners of all time, tbh...

I would never have thought this incident could net a gain for Obama, but man, fucking Willard.

Meanwhile, today in Libya...

If any of the recent GOP candidates had been president in 1962 the US wouldn't exist today.

:lmao

Wow Romney is fucking stupid and has some really fucking stupid advising him. No wonder he won't beat Obama. I swear the dude has not done a single thing I have considered a good move.

I can tell you one thing... this won't be good for Romney's campaign.

Good for those people. Hopefully this will get out in the news, to counteract all the "bomb these savages" redwoods folks out there.

Never seen someone so happy to hear about a terrorist attack but that is probably because we don't have any pictures of Dick Cheney or Yonivore on 9/11.

But we can't because we haven't been funding alternative energy development fast enough or long enough.



keep spinnin right round baby right round.

sadly this country kinda prefers the strategy of aggressive defense over passive defense, and israel is a vital point in the middle east to maintain a relative peace among those countries in the region and keep them honest. the US has spent astronomical amounts of $ on wars & smaller military operations but that's still not as much as the overflow of immigrants has cost, do you agree or disagree?

You can include Obama as part of that GOP, you know since his foreign policy has been just as bad if not worse.

Whoever wins the next election, I just hope we stop being apologists for Islam and just abandon the entire region. Fuck these people.

Now Darrin's angry!

War on Terror = a bi-partisan affair that has been wildly expanded under Obama's regime.
But Romney said some stupid words, so the liberals start celebrating.

From a political standpoint, they should.
