The Deadly Rocket Attack in Libya and Romney's Crass Exploitation of National Tragedy
Mitt Romney's presidential campaign attempted to capitalize on the events today, as Romney held a press conference denouncing the Obama administration's response to the attack. "This attack on American individuals and embassies is outrageous, it’s disgusting," said the GOP candidate. Romney then crassly exploited the attack, saying: "I also believe the administration was wrong to stand by a statement sympathizing with those who had breached our embassy in Egypt, instead of condemning their actions. It’s never too early for the United States government to condemn attacks on Americans and to defend our values."
Romney's reference to "sympathy" is a distortion, but the comments reflect a conscious effort by the Romney campaign to hit Obama on foreign policy.
Romney's claim that the Obama administration "sympathesizes" with the attackers is a reference to a US Embassy statement from Cairo expressing dismay at the anti-Muslim film. But the White House says that the statement "was not cleared by Washington and does not reflect the views of the United States government."
The comments from the Romney camp make sense, though, when placing them in the context of how Romney has run his presidential campaign. The claim made at the press conference that the administration "apologized" for US values is the latest attempt to hit at Obama for allegedly disavowing "American exceptionalism"--which he hasn't done.
Romney's statements also reflect his neoconservative foreign policy advisors, many of them connected to the Iraq War, and who advocate for US military might around the world to shape the world as the US sees fit. It was also a nod to the anti-Muslim voters that make up the GOP base. Romney implied that Obama was "sympathesizing" with the Muslim attackers in Egypt--a not-so-subtle way of dog-whistling to those who believe Obama is Muslim himself.

Kristol: ‘Sept. 11, 2012′ Is Great Time To Accuse Obama Of Sympathizing With Foreign Killers
One can question the timing and tone of Mitt Romney’s statement last night. One can note he wasn’t as fluent and clear as he might have been at his press conference this morning. Still, the fact remains that the events of September 11, 2012, represent a big moment for the country. Romney is right to sense this, and to seize on this moment as an occasion to explain the difference between his foreign policy and President Obama’s. He’s right to reject the counsel of the mainstream media, which is to keep quiet and give President Obama a pass.

From the past about Libya:
bou, i have never clicked those links. can you go somewhere else?
And you take his word at face value. A man in high places from a terrorist organization that gained Obama's help to overthrow Gaddafi?
OK, If that's what you want to believe.
I said this before, looks like I have to say it again.
This Mormon producer was one of 6 producers on that film project.
Look up what a producer does in the film industry as well, since you didn't believe me he first time.
You continue to show your absolute stupidity when you repeat things along these lines.
It is Fuzzy after all. Why would the Muslim Brotherhood lie about that?
they refer to it as "a movie by gerald molen" in the commercial....dumbass.
sad but true. his does crack me up.
i'm almost positive ES is behind the Sybok troll, which is my favorite troll on this site.
as for that pic posted earlier, i kept thinking it looked like James Woods was killed. probably something wrong with my reactions to things. i probably wouldn't have looked at it if it was full of dismemberment. i feel most sorry for his loved ones, to see him paraded around by a bunch of monkeys. that region is ing gone.
I didn't know about the FP one..... Thanks fuzzy.![]()
Who said anything about what I believe. What part of 'its all speculation' wsa difficult to understand. It's pretty obvious what you believe as your little masturbatory quotefest demonstrated.
I thought that the Libyan ambassador stating that he had intelligence was newsworthy. I do not even know what the intelligence is so why would I 'believe' anything?
Seriously stop thinking other people think like you do most especially me. It's pretty obvious that is not the case.
Glad if i can help.
Muslims would never lie to an infidel.
For name recognition you dumbass.
Spock says "double dumbass on you."
for mormon recognition, dumbass.

I never knew he was Mormon until idiots like you made a big thing of it. But then I don't go out looking for possible dirt on people either.
How many hours of your day does that consume anyway?
I proved my point. Not going to pollute this thread any longer by wiping your ass with the floor.

And they happen to comprise the "mainstream" of the GOP....
wow wow
us ambassador killed. this is big. now we know what's going to be the election clinching topic. surprise surprise. good timing too
IMO this is a failure by Obama govmt, they ed Lybia up, helped in the murder of Ghadaffi and then put an embassy there with no proper security. the security in that spot should have been higher than Iraq
this could be a turning point
Ha. Ha.
Is that really funny in your world?
Libya was in the 21'st century, until we helped one side in a Civil war.
how many of those movies were advertised as "a movie by gerald molen"?
and.......please stop thinking about my ass.
one thing is for sure. these muslim folks are easily trolled
It doesn't take much. God bless
dayum ghadaffi came back from death to avenge the architect of his murder
can u say what goes around...
