The US Ambassador to Libya and three other diplomats were killed last night during a rocket attack on the embassy in Benghazi, and the US embassy in Cairo was attacked by a mob, though I've heard no reports of deaths or injuries there.
The attacks were about 9/11, and also the release on YouTube of an incredibly stupid and aggressive movie trailer, produced by an Israeli Jew living in the US, which claims that "Islam is a cancer" and shows Muhammad as a pervert who approves of child molesting.
The timeline is important here. Before the attacks, the US embassy in Csiro issued a statement condemning the film. Embassay officials were appalled at the timing and deliberate provocation of this deliberate attempt to bait Muslims, and said in part, “we condemn efforts to offend believers of all religions.” After the attacks the administration of course issued a statement condemning the violence and loss of life.
So how do the Republicans play it? The Romney campaign issues a statement saying the Obama administration's first response was to "sympathize with the attackers," following which that fraud, liar, and asshole Reince Priebus tweets "Obama sympathizes with attackers in Egypt. Sad and pathetic."
I can't say what I'm thinking about the Republian party right this moment. I've had my problems with Obama, really don't like him, and won't vote for him. But the Republican Party is truly indecent, obscene, and disgusting, and totally beyond redemption; it really needs to go out of business. Patriotic Americans, or for that matter anybody in the world who values the truth, needs to devote him or herself at this time to making sure that happens.
We could start by liberating CNN and the rest of the *liberal* media from corporo-Republicanism, and holding their feet to the fire on this little matter of the truth.
And the truth is "both sides" DO NOT "do it." Both sides don't do what Romney and Prince Reebus did last night.
