   FOX news is on fire. That is because the corrupt vermin in the lib. media attacked Romney and didn’t ask our foreign policy expert President a single tough question about his interview on Super Bowl Sunday.

   You guys read my posts you know I am a right wing kook.

   If I were a journalist I would have asked the President some pretty tough questions about being prepared.

   Then I would have gone to Romney and asked him, What are trying to score political points in the midst of a crisis.

   I would have had contempt for both my politics be Dam#d. That is your job if you are a journalist.

   Steve, please try to not sound the alarm about a partial evacuation of the Berlin embassy that has long since come and gone and was reported by Reuters at 11:30 EDT this morning. A worker got short of breath reading a passport and the all clear was given after an appropriate amount of caution was taken.

   The sky is not falling

   Repubs are desperate for fantasy news because Romney’s campaign is in panic mode. They need to hear “everything is okay”

   Fox cannot repair what Mitt Romney has broken, he and his advisers are complete idiots.

   I think DB(Douche Bag) is on the Romney Ryan payroll.

   I will quote Trump ” DB(DoucheBag) you’re fired!”

   Papa,

   I am not sure you go my point about my overall dislike of the spelling and grammar police. The answer to your questions is No on both.

   I was only pointing out when folks rant about the ignorance of others rather than the error in their point of view they are and should be on point on their own grammar.

   See!!

   (CBS News) The conventional wisdom emerged in Washington almost immediately on Wednesday: Mitt Romney’s handling of the violence in Egypt and Libya was a disaster.

   “The comments were a big mistake, and the decision to double down on them was an even bigger mistake,” Steve Schmidt, senior campaign strategist to Sen. John McCain’s 2008 presidential campaign, told CBS News. “There are legitimate criticisms to be made but you foreclose on your ability to make them when you try to score easy political points. And the American people, when the country is attacked, whether they’re a Republican or Democrat or independent, want to see leaders who have measured responses, not leaders whose first instinct is to try to score political points.”

   Mitt Romney got the capital of Libya wrong in his opportunistic statement this morning criticizing the President about his handling of the attacks against the US embassy in Cairo and the US consulate in Benghazi, Libya.

   Romney referred in his statement to the “embassies” and particularly to “our embassy at Benghazi, Libya.”  He made the mistake three times, so it wasn’t just a slip of the lip.

    Silly RePubs!! you are all just all over the place.

    On Libya/Egypt attacks, it’s Ryan vs. Romney

    The vice presidential nominee usually takes the low road toward reaching the White House, but the 2012 Republican Romney-Ryan ticket on Wednesday saw an eye-popping reversal of roles.

    Mitt Romney played the attack dog, seizing on a statement from the U.S. embassy in Cairo, and declaring in Florida:  “I think it’s a terrible course for American to stand in apology for our values.  An apology for America’ values is never the right course.”

    Romney
    Of course, neither President Obama nor Secretary of State Clinton apologized for anything as they reacted to the rocket attack that killed U.S. Ambassador to Libya Chris Stevens and three others.  “Make no mistake: Justice will be done,” Obama declared.

    Rep. Paul Ryan played the anti-Romney, taking the high road during a Wednesday morning appearance in Wisconsin.  Ryan spoke of the nation’s resolve rather than engaging in partisan attack.  Ryan said:

    “I know all Americans today are shocked and saddened by the news in the Middle East, the attacks on our diplomatic missions in Egypt and Libya, and the loss of American lives — including Ambassador J. Christopher Stevens — this is outrageous.  Our hearts are heavy . . .

    “This is a time for healing.  It’s a time for resolve.  In the face of such a tragedy, we are reminded that the world needs American leadership, and the best guarantee of peace is American strength.”

    The Republican response to Egypt/Libya has taken a curious and contradictory course.

    Republican National Chairman Reince Priebus followed Romney down the low road.  He tweeted:  “Obama sympathizes with attackers in Egypt.  Sad and pathetic.”

    U.S. Rep. Paul Ryan (Getty Images)
    Also untrue.  What Obama said this morning was:  “We reject all efforts to denigrate the religious beliefs of others.  But there is absolutely no justification for this kind of senseless violence. None.”

    House Speaker John Boehner and Majority Leader Eric Cantor reacted in much the same way as Ryan, calling for sympathy with families of the decease and resolve in the face of terrorist acts.”

    Conservative pundit (and former Ronald Reagan speechwriter) Peggy Noonan came down hard on Romney, tweeting:  “I don’t feel that Mr. Romney has been doing himself any favors the past few hours.”

    Sen. John McCain tweeted:  “Just watched an excellent stmnt by Sec. Clinton — just the right message and tone.”

    Romney had pledged not to criticize President Obama on the anniversary of the Sept. 11, 2001 attacks by terrorists using hijacked planes on the World Trade Center and the Pentagon.

    But after the U.S. Embassy in Cairo (on its sown) issued a statement — referencing “continued efforts by misguided individuals to hurt the religious feelings of Muslims, as we condemn effort to offend all believers of all religions” –the Romney campaign delivered a nasty rejoinder.  The campaign said:

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

    The harsh, partisan, before-facts-are-in statement has produced widespread questions, among foreign policy experts from both parties, as to whether Mitt Romney is qualified and ready to oversee U.S. foreign policy.

    Maybe we can send Gallup and Rasmussen over to Egypt and Libya to take a poll on what motivated they’re violent actions,,the internet movie,,911 anniversary or “Osama Bin Laden is dead and GM is alive”..

    If they ignore, the bad news that befalls their MESSiah it will just go away…right??? The facts of the matter be damned. The Woodstein Marxist media over riding duty, as they see it, is to completely destroy and discredit Governor, and with God’s will President, Romney. That is their agenda, plain and simple.
    I find it chilling to think how badly we’d be misinformed and misrepresented if not for the Internet.

    Strange–I just saw an old video of jimmy carter saying the same thing obama said about shoot first and aim later. Why would obama use the same words when people are already comparing him unfavorably to carter?
