If this was his 3 a.m. phone call, I think Governor Romney just dropped his handset in the toilet.

I mean seriously. Americans are DEAD. And in response to the Cairo Embassy correctly pointing out that it is not the policy of America, or the American Government, to go around insulting people's religiouns - Romney basically shot back and said "Yes, it IS!"
Bracing for trouble before the start of the protests here and in Libya, the American Embassy released a statement shortly after noon that appeared to refer to Terry Jones, a Florida pastor who promoted the video: “The United States Embassy in Cairo condemns the continuing efforts by misguided individuals to hurt the religious feelings of Muslims — as we condemn efforts to offend believers of all religions.” It later denounced the “unjustified breach of our embassy.”
Apparently Mr. Romney thinks, or is simply
pretending to think for political expediency, that "misguided individuals hurting the feeling of Muslims - or beleivers of all religions" is just fine with him. Ur, um, What The Funk?
How would Romney react if someone did a slanderous movie about John Smith and Brigham Young being illicit lovers? Does he think America shouldn't denounce those kind of Lies or Not?
This guy has done worse than just lose the Presidency today - he's recklessly put people in harms way - simply to take misguided pot shots at the President. Like most Republicans now seem to, He Doesn't CARE how much he hurts the Country, just so he can hurt President Obama". He's is now openly and officially, a Seditionist.
This is obvious after his initial pre-mature statement last night - which could easily have been walked back - when Romney doubled-down on it this morning with this.
“It’s also important for me — just as it was for the White House, last night by the way — to say that the statements were inappropriate, and in my view a disgraceful statement on the part of our administration to apologize for American values.
Apologize for American Values? It's an "American Value" to attack Islam? Since when? Has Pam Geller taken over the Romney Foreign Policy? Is he going to start railing about the
Ground Zero Mosque next?
Sharia Law being taught in our schools?
Ok, and what about the fact this first statement didn't come from the President, wasn't approved by the President - that they've criticized the statement - and that it was issued pre-emptively by the Embassy in an attempt to calm people down!?
An American Ambassador and 3 of his staff DIED, for pete's sake!.
Well, y'know. PFfffft!!
“The president takes responsibility not just for the words that come from his mouth but also for the words that come from his ambassadors from his administration, from his embassies, from the State Department,” he said. “They clearly sent mixed messages to the world, and the statement that came from the administration, and the embassy is the administration. The statement that came from the administration was a statement which is akin to apology and I think was a severe miscalculation.”
Yeah, ok. Mitt's not sorry that
One Billion Muslims - who cares about them or their feelings?, what's a little
hate speech between neo-friendly countries? - were just severely insulted by this Ass Gasket Sam Bacille and his dumbfrack Youtube video.
Now, just Imagine what kind of statement would have come out of that Cairo Embassy with Willard in charge of things.
If you just faced palmed and said a silent "Oy Vey!" - you would be correct, Sir.
