I must have pissed him off. He screws up his spelling when he's pissed.
------------------
Repub: It was a planned attachk and on the internet amongst these crazies two days before!! Again, if our people did not know about it, that is itself is gross incompetence. Regardless, the administration got caught with their pants down (it was 9/11!!!!) and innocent people lost their lives! I find it very interested that during their campaign that John Kerry criticized George Bush about the Iraqi War every day...and the press and the left were not complaining......Actually, I think that Romney was the only person that day who looked and acted presidential........remember Obama went off to Vegas and did Letterman....how presidential is that during a crisis and our dead had not even been buried. The is trying desperately to deflect the administration incompetence by constantly attacking Romney. Whether on agrees or not with what Romney said.....that is NOT the big issue here....it is Obama's foreign policy, or lack thereof, and continuing to deal with sick, crazy people who will ALWAYS hate us...and no amount of appeasement is
Repub: ever going to change that!
Woodsprite: You say "the crazies". Are you talking about the movie that's been out for two years and just was translated to stir up a fresh batch of trouble? That story was used for cover more than anything. Odd way for Mitt to look Presidential, with a smile on his face when he's discussing attacks on foreign soil that ended in deaths of Americans. He didn't even wait until the attacks had stopped before he turned it into a political attack, leading with a lie, nor did he wait for any facts, and did not offer any condolences for the ones who had been killed at that point. Real Presidential. The only thing that gonna take the heat off of Mitt is if he releases his taxes. The most disastrous thing in the world would be if he managed to lie his way into office. We'd have another 4 to 8 yrs of the Bush cabal running us into the ground and they're chomping at the bit to start WWIII with Iran.

(11,904 posts)There will probably be something in the morning. Probably say something about Mitten's security briefings starting.
He had to look at me all evening Tue night. I had my Obama/Biden shirt on at church.
His sisters and nephew liked my post. Sounds like he may be a lone repub in his family.

(24,411 posts)Tonight just to see how they were spinning.
Every single absurd talking point in the rant you posted from the freeper--was exactly from Fix News.
It's disgusting that people can't think for themselves.
A current lie/talking point that they're now spreading is that the administration abd possibly others had 48 hours notice of the attack. Someone just posted this on FB and I saw it come by in my news feed. I read the article upon which this "48 hour" assertion is being made. The article says that 48 hours prior to the violence there were warnings about possible threats. However, there was absolutely no specific threats known; nor was there any info on any specific threat in Libya.
But these wretched bastards will spread that lie, as they always do read lies. Just repeat the baseless bulldhit over snd over snd get ignorant fools to parrot the lies on social media. Unfrickinbelievable!

(23,149 posts)...caught w/ pants around their knees on 9/11/01? If they didn't know THAT was going to happen, isn't that gross incompetence as well?? PDB 08/06/01? Yeah, I'm real interested in a repub opinion about incompetence in regard to terrorist attacks.

They're ripping Obama for failing to meet with Netanyahu but having time to go on Letterman.
Obama is avoiding a warmongering sociopath. That makes Obama courageous and a stand-up guy. He should be commended.

College grad, Faux Noise watcher, 61 years old. I brought up the magical rape sperm that can be shut down by women, and he comes back with the 57 states. He's a birther too.

(11,904 posts)What his son said is very good...
Son: ok its tough love time. ROMNEY put himself in the middle of this. before the attack was even FINISHED he was issuing statements about a situation he clearly didn't have all the facts on so please don't act like obama is just arbitrarily going after him on this, or trying to distract from anything. he has to respond to romney when he makes a statement like the one he made. ROMNEY made this political, not obama. exactly how many high level muslim extremists does obama have to kill for you to consider the idea that he's great on foreign policy and that he is handling this with poise and patience??? the chair of the senate intelligence committee said today after a 3 hour long meeting with the CIA director that nobody knew about this attack and that there was no way they could. There is no confirmation that anybody had 48 hours notice of anything so before we go crucifying anybody let us make sure we have all the facts. Unlike Mitt Romney. Dad please for your own sake STOP WATCHING FOX NEWS. JUST STOP. It is propaganda.
Sis: George bush played golf through many crises.
Friend's son: XXXXXX, I'm about to speak to you in the way fox news speaks to you. Key phrase "may have had" "unnamed sources" also what Romney did and what obama didn't

(24,411 posts)I watched an hour of it. I just told my husband about this. Fox News is so over-the-top ridiculous right now. If they're not careful, they're going to make their viewers insane. The music is so dramatic, the graphics are red and fly at you--and all of the commentators are furious and behaving as if they're in the middle of a tornado--screaming, flailing about, freaking out and talking faster than auctioneers on acid.
And the outrage! Ohhhhhhh, the outrage! They're all so outraged!
Last night, I heard Kimberly Guillfoil (sp?) say that Obama needs to stop bending over for the terrorists. And she was so outraged when she said it. Furious! Furious I tell you!
These people are ridiculous. It's like a circus right now. They are inciting their base. I am betting that Romney is figuring that he is going to lose, but he doesn't want to lose so badly that he looks like the complete nimrod that he is. So, they're trying to keep the base amped up so at least they have this demographic voting for Romney.
Anyone else see Dick Morris? Of course they had the picture of the Egyptian protestors, which CNN said was only a contained block of people with the rest of the city going about their business. But according to Fox and Dick Morris, the world is frickin ending and it's all Obama's fault. Look at what Obama did!! Morris actually screamed (with outrage of course!) "This is Obama's war!!!"
OMG, it was so bizarre and stupid. I feel sorry for the nimrods that watch this tripe and believe it. Prepare for more Facebook nonsense because Fox is outraged. Outraged I tell you!! We're all gonna die and it's Obama's fault!
