Romney Calls Obama’s Response to Libyan Attack ‘Shameful’, Says President Sympathizes With Terrorists
It didn’t take Mitt Romney long to politicize the Libyan attacks and paint President Obama as a terrorist sympathizer. 
Protests in both Libya and Egypt were sparked by clips of a film produced by Sam Bacile, a real estate developer and Jewish filmmaker. The film calls the prophet Muhammad a fraud and depicts him having s*x.
This from a statement released by the Romney team:
“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.”
Romney’s feigned outrage was over an initial statement released by the U.S. Embassy in Egypt which “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 the statement was drafted and released before the protests. The statement, which was also issued before the U.S. confirmed the death of U.S. ambassador to Libya, John Christopher Stevens, was criticized by Romney as weak.
A senior White House official also informed Politico that the initial statement was never cleared by Washington.
Late Tuesday, Secretary of State Clinton issued a much stronger condemnation of the attacks.“Some have sought to justify this vicious behavior as a response to inflammatory material posted on the Internet,” the statement read. “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.”

OF ALL PEOPLE TO TALK ABOUT ‘MIXED MESSAGES.’ This is hilarious and pathetic. Romney is such a mixed up bunch of nonsense that he has become more like a “side show at a circus” than a legit candidate. Nobody in their right mind would sympathize with such violence…and certainly not Pres. Obama…who BTW participated in the dedication of the M.L. KING MEMORIAL. I did not see Romney at that event. The GOP is just pushing Romney to do more personal attacks upon Pres. Obama — because they are losing in most of the polls. And I pray that Romney loses in November too…and that Pres. Obama gets another term.
Mr Romney, SIR!, please get your head out of the political skies for just ONE MOMENT and realize that people lost their lives in Libya for whatever reason, a movie or a religous act, right now it doesn’t matter, LIVES WERE LOST! Families are in shck and in mourning. The last thing I want to hear from anyone, let alone a PRESIDENTIAL CANDIDATE, is the blame game or pointing fingers with your bottom lip poked out saying, “he didn’t respond the correct way, I wanna be PWEZEEDENT!” For real?
President Romney will teach all of lazy, welfare begging cowards what it’s like to be a real man and a President who loves this country unlike some Moslem loving, immigrant dumbass who only passed the bar exam barely thanks to affirmative action. Mitt will teach all these filthy Arabs what American is and they should fear us all over the planet. If it hadn’t been for George Bush paving the way some idiot like Obummer could have never gotten Osama Hussien Bin Ladin. If you people hate this country so much why don’t you go back to Africa so you can mess that trainwreck up even more. Yours truely, America.
When I read beligerant, ignorant comments like those of God of War you can only laugh at the pathetic mind that this kind of bile comes from (and wonder how anyone so stupid is even capable of putting sentence together–grammar errors notwithstanding).
God of War is not only willfully stupid but arrogantly boasts of his lies. To him, ignorance is God and so by that logic war is what comes of the manifesting of arrogance and lies. And in that way he is right.
However, the war he wishes on us is the same kind of war that the ignorant Islamic terrorists wish on us. It is the same mindset. He and the terrorists think they are a world apart because they have different views as to who is more righteous. But the fact is their arrogant self righteousness is what makes them the same.
Finally, like most beligerant retards, he is also mistaken about his political views. Romney is a corporatist, plutocrat with a thirst for power not because he wants to turn the US in to a fascist state (he’s too ignorant to even understand that would be the outcome of his policies) but because he feels entitled. His whole life has been about excercising that entitlement.
So, s**t-for-brains (God of War) will be disappointed when Romney doesn’t actually get us involved in WW3 but turns out to be an equivocating, unprincipled, big mouth who doesn’t actually carry a stick as big as Obama’s (ooh ya, G of W you know you want to touch that big stick of Obama’s –you know you do!).
