Romney claims Obama sympathizes with attack on U.S.
UPDATE 10:20: In a press conference, Romney just claimed that “it is never too early to condemn” attacks on U.S. personnel. Apparently, “never too early” means condemning the attacks before they have even occurred. He also made it pretty clear that no apology for his statements will be forthcoming.
He is simply wrong on this. Wrong factually, wrong politically, wrong as a matter of simple decency. He has bungled this badly, and is doubling down on the bungle.
————-
With four American diplomats dead in Libya, including U.S. Ambassador J. Christopher Stevens, the United States has in effect come under attack overseas. The response of the Mitt Romney campaign has been to accuse the Obama administration of sympathizing with the attackers.
That charge is grotesque. It is also factually incorrect. It can be made correct only by going back in time and rearranging events to suit the Romney narrative, and that is not going to happen. Let’s take a look at how the tragic events in question played out:
1.) Alarmed at reports of rising anger in Egypt over an anti-Islamic film made in the United States, the U.S. embassy in Cairo tries to calm things Tuesday morning with a statement in which it “condemns the continuing efforts by misguided individuals to hurt the religious feelings of Muslims—as we condemn efforts to offend believers of all religions. Respect for religious beliefs is a cornerstone of American democracy. We firmly reject the actions by those who abuse the universal right of free speech to hurt the religious beliefs of others.”
2.) Hours AFTER that statement is released, as the Wall Street Journal reports, protesters in Cairo breach the walls of the embassy and pull down the American flag.
3.) Attacks in Libya — also launched well AFTER the embassy statement — end in the tragic death of four Americans, including the U.S. ambassador. They died in service to our country.
4.) Romney quickly puts out a statement calling it “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.”
5.) In the actual first U.S. response to the attacks, released about the same time as the Romney statement, Secretary of State Hillary Clinton condemns the violence in no uncertain terms:
“Some have sought to justify this vicious behavior as a response to inflammatory material posted on the Internet. The United States deplores any intentional effort to denigrate the religious beliefs of others. Our commitment to religious tolerance goes back to the very beginning of our nation. But let me be clear: There is never any justification for violent acts of this kind.”
The charge that an American president sympathizes with those who attacked this country should not be made easily. In fact, under the circumstances it is a charge that should not have been made at all. It would seem to me that an apology is in order from former Gov. Romney, RNC Chairman Reince Preibus, Georgia Attorney General Sam Olens and others who made such an unfounded charge at such a delicate time.

Knowing this will get me on the sh-t list again with you libs. Changing topic for just a moment, “Chicago teachers in union strike for third day”. Their average salary is $77,000 yearly. State should tell them to return to work or be fired and replaced. Just like Reagan did with air-traffic controllers! But I forget that this is Chicago, where Barrack and Rahm Emanuel comes from. Oh just forget it and raise the property owner’s taxes and give them what they want. That is the Democratic way. Or maybe they could send in Gov Christy, NJ, to handle it?

Mark Halperin, a barometer of the political establishment’s attitudes, called this the “most craven” and “ill-advised move” of the 2012 campaign.
It’s just remarkable to see Romney unravel like this. Within hours of learning that a respected U.S. ambassador had been killed by a violent mob overseas, the Republican’s first instinct was to launch a partisan campaign attack against the president. It came after a dishonest smear of the president last night — on the anniversary of the 9/11 attacks, when Romney said he’d refrain from such attacks.
Grab the bagels, the Romney smear is there for sensible people who are not conned to see.

Marty, let me explain this simply:
Romney claimed the statement was a response to the attacks, including the death of what at the time was believed to be one U.S. diplomat. If it had indeed been a response to the attacks, he might have had a semblance of a point.
Instead, the statement that he attacked came before the attacks in Libya and before the embassy in Cairo was put under siege. That reality changes the context entirely.
So you are either incapable of grasping the timeframe involved, or you are pretending to be incapable of grasping the timeframe involved. I’m not sure which is worse, but take your choice.

Tom – “Nice, several 70/80 yr old men sitting around and talking BS, got themselves put in prison for their rants. A couple of them have trouble walking w/o a cane, do you really consider that a threat? You are better than that, Butch?”
Oh, so you aren’t for condeming an entire population for the acts of a select few? My bad.

the cat@12:02 – You may be right. You think they could find their way to Atlanta? They did find their way to the Waffle House for their planning sessions. They kinda reminded me of old Clint Eastwood talking to that empty chair. Before I get yelled at, I am a life long fan of Dirty Hairy! “Go ahead punk, make my day”!

I dont think there was much mentioned about AQ’s number two in Yemen being killed yesterday.
Ask AQ about that limp-wristed foreign policy.

“So you are either incapable of grasping the timeframe involved, or you are pretending to be incapable of grasping the timeframe involved. I’m not sure which is worse, but take your choice.”….Jay – I call it willful ignorance. Whether it’s the “he’s a muslim” or “he wasn’t born here” or whatever else nonsence crowd, it’s eerily sad to watch the dumbing-down of such a wide swath of would-be voters.

Lybian leaders apologizes to us and did not blame us like the cons.
They asked us for help to bring the murderers to justice and we will.

JKL2, you writing that I voted for Obama makes you a liar, an idiot, or both.
willie, quit running cover for the anti-Americans…
A Liberty County grand jury indicted the men — Adam Dearman, Randall Dearman, Timothy Joiner, Christopher Jenderseck and Anthony Garner — on charges of illegal gang activity and several counts of theft, burglary and auto-break ins. District Attorney Tom Durden said this week the crimes were committed to fund the militia group F.E.A.R., an acronym for Forever Enduring Always Ready. Durden told the judge they were leaders of F.E.A.R., which was bent on assassinating the president, poisoning apple crops and bombing dams in Washington state and blowing up the fountain in Savannah’s Forsyth Park. As for the five indicted this week, Fort Stewart spokesman Kevin Larson said all but Randall Dearman are former soldiers at the base.
I’m sure that in your Republican mind though they are not conservatives!

“The fact is Romney insulted America and its President at a time when our nation lost an Ambassador and 3 staff members while they were serving their country.”
Exactly — thanks cat!

When they lifted the rock, out slithered Reince Priebus leaving his slime trail behind him. This guy is a joke in a party that is basically a Volkswagen with the doors open and innumerable clowns pouring out.
The GOP has lost so much credibility with it’s immature opinions and uneducated policy positions that it should take Laura Ingrahams advice and shut the party down. They desparately need a re-boot.

Reminds me of the hysteria when a certain business owner dared to voice his support of traditional marriage and the left went nuts over it. Two peas in a pod.
Yeah, cause me refusing to eat at Chick-Fil-A is exactly the same as storming an embassy and killing an ambassador.
Nucking futs.

williebkind – “So does every farmer in the United States. They should go to jail too right?”
No, they should be nuked out of existenece as a pre-emptive measure to ensure the safety of the population. But then I’m just paraphrasing some of the other posters here today.
