Sllippery Willard is disgusting.

On the evening of 9/11, Willard's campaign emailed a press release to media, condemning the actions of {allegedly} President Obama. (As it turned out, it was someone in the Egyptian embassy.)

The press release bore the instruction, "Do not release this until 12:05 a.m. (meaning, 9/11 would have ended.) Then, at 12:05 came a second email from the Romney campaign saying, okay, you can release it now.

This was supposed to be respectful of 9/11? Wowza! Not to mention that he did not even hold back long enough to know the facts.

Then, this morning, Hillary, as Secretary of State, spoke of the death of the ambassador, Obama having deferred to her, which was gracious and appropriate. Obama was scheduled to speak shortly afterward. And, in the interim between the comments of Hillary and the comments of the President, Mitt dares to hold a press conferencem on this.

When the press asked him if he had not been disrespectful, condemning the remarks that had come out of Egypt, Romney said that the President had done something similar, "distancing himself" from the remarks. Talk about a false equivalency. The President is conducting foreign policy as his people in the Middle East are under attack and perhaps making unauthorized statements, while MIttens is only campaigning.

Asked what the President had done wrong, Mitt said it was his administration, and he was responsible, even though the remarks were unauthorized. Yes, true, which was exactly why the President HAD to speak out and Mitt had no business speaking out.

And what was Mitt's big beef with the unauthorized remarks anyway? Well, the guy in Egypt, whose embassy was a target, had the temerity to say that the film should have been more respectful of the Muslim religion.

According to Mitt, this is terrible because America believes in free speech. True, but it also believes in things like the free exercise of religion and mutual respect. Oh, and btw, the guy in the Cairo embassy has the right of free speech too. And did I mention his embassy was at risk at the time?

Romney is an opportunistic POS. Oh, and our friends at MSNBC daytime had next to no criticism of Romney, but rather kept repeating what he had said.

Here we have a volatile situation, with one ambassador dead and others still at risk; and this turd takes the "opportunity" of this tragedy to show his support for an Israeli film maker who called Islam a cancer? And then excuses that by saying he is defending freedom of speech?

Willard, please!

3. Correction: As the day wore on, people like Martin Bashir had plenty of criticism.

4. great post

glad to hear Bashir spoke out. This episode further shows the electorate that Mittens is willing to shamefully stick his foolish feet into any breaking intl event, for political gain, even when he doesn't have all the info.

5. The scary part is that his foolish feet usually up in his foolish mouth.

harming the U.S., along with him. And then he and his campaign have to try to start walking his foolish feet back, but the damage to the U.S. abroad is already done. He's a frickin self-centered, selfish loose cannon.

BTW, from Bashir's time slot on (Matthews, Schultz, Maddow, O'Donnell), the criticism of cheesy Mitts abounded. MSNBC daytime is very different from MSNBC early to late evening.
