FactCheck.org: Romney Gets It Backward

[TroyD]

Could be a useful link to keep referring to this week when arguing with Conservatives:

Mitt Romney claims the Obama administration issued an “apology for American values” after U.S. embassies were attacked. Not true. Romney refers to a statement issued before mobs attacked either in Egypt or Libya, and faults U.S. diplomats for failing to condemn actions that hadn’t yet happened.

Furthermore, the word “sorry” or “apologize” doesn’t appear in the statement. Under the headline, “U.S. Embassy Condemns Religious Incitement,” the embassy in Cairo said, “Respect for religious beliefs is a cornerstone of American democracy.”

Romney has falsely accused Obama of “apologizing for America” many times before. The line has been a dependable applause-getter with conservative audiences. But we found no basis for this claim in Obama’s previous speeches and remarks. And other fact-checkers came to similar conclusions.

1. Except that they are immune to facts

The RW site Red State is even banning members for citing fact checking web sites. Shows how desperate they are... But it's a good link for those in the middle who might be swayed by Romney's BS.
