After spending Tuesday and Wednesday feverishly blaming Obama for opening the doors of our embassies to al Qaeda and offering them lemonade and cookies with their jihad, Mitt Romney is now advancing his prescription for the world’s ills, which is a healthy dose of Vitamin Mitt.
“There’s a pretty compelling story that if you had a President Romney, you’d be in a different situation,” Romney adviser Richard Williamson told the Washington Post. “For the first time since Jimmy Carter, we’ve had an American ambassador assassinated.”
And what is that compelling case, Mr. Williamson?
He blamed the attack that killed Stevens on Obama’s handling of the region, arguing that the Muslim world would have held the hypothetical Romney administration of 2008-2012 in much greater esteem, which would have prevented violent protests over an anti-Muslim film like the one that led to Stevens’s death.
We think this is the clearest possible indication that the best possible solution to our world’s problems is to elect Mitt Romney President of the World Forever. Peace through Romney. Strength through Romney. World class fucking through wearing Romney masks. It is all possible if we simply make the right choice this November.
Will you deny that opportunity to your children?

P is for Psycho
Personally, I go with my Messican friends – P is for pendejo, L is for loco in la cabeza.
And that is good enough for me! Oh! Psycho-psycho-psycho starts with P! Take it away, Cookie Monster!!!
Now fucking Rmoney is the time traveler instead of Obama.
Where does he hide his TARDIS?
In his hair…duh.
Rmoney puts the tard in Tardis. Oh noes, I'm gonna get banned
My kid used to stash his tardy's in his backpack
Ann = Leela?
No way. Leela was a warrior huntress who could inflict major injury.Ann's more like Peri except without the big tits.
Not trying to get banhammered, but in Mitt's case, that's ReTARDIS…..and, of course, it's in his magic underpants…
Because he can time travel TWICE, to change it back and forth, forever.
I really cannot handle thinking about R-Money and DW in the same synapse- makes brain hurt.
Because one's a make believe character living in an alternate universe where he will rule his own planet, and the other is a charming TV show?
precisely!
I'd kinda enjoy watching an episode where the Dr. had to stop Mormon time travel mischief – giving Jesus a South American tour and snatching early hominids in order to drop them off in Missouri.
The Cayman Islands, of course!
Wait…is this a trick question?
In plain view is of course the normal practice.
Mitt wants to be the new Chuck Norris, but he really seems more Chuck Jones. Daffy mostly.
That would be funny if it weren't for the Romney-Ryan defense budget line item for Illudium Q-36 Explosive Space Modulators.
And to redesign the White House to be a series of floating, transparent platforms in open space.
I was thinking the new Chuck Taylors. Wear them and next thing you know, you're flat-footed.
Just like the old Chucks, then. I recall when they first brought back the "retro" edition lowtops, supposedly as actual basketball shoes, in the 80s (a few years after the skaters started wearing custom colored versions and popularizing them again). I looked at them and said who the fuck would willingly torture their feet like that if they could wear Jordans or anything with some arch support.
How little I understood about fashion.
More like Elmer Fudd.
I am Ewmer J Fudd, miwwionaiwe. I own a mansion and a yacht.
A month and a half left 'til Th-th-th-th-thaaaaat's all, folks.
He's more Chuck, Up.
When I see Mittens do his little song and dance, I have to wonder who dug up Michigan J. Frog after all these years.
Take two Mitts and call me after the Rapture.
This world can only get better after the rapture, leaving only Wonketeers and cockroaches to rule the world!
Sounds like a mother-fucking party.
Sounds like some Saudi Prince needs his hand held by Mittens.
Mouth-kissing or GTFO.
"He blamed the attack that killed Stevens on Obama’s handling of the region, arguing that the Muslim world would have held the hypothetical Romney administration of 2008-2012 in much greater esteem, which would have prevented violent protests over an anti-Muslim film like the one that led to Stevens’s death."
No, if Romney had been president from 2008-2012, we'd be at war with the United Kingdom.
And it would be about time too!
I'd rather fight Belgium.
Fat Belgian bastards…
And Canada still wouldn't be sure which side to take.
At least we'd have the instruction manuals for all their weaponry.
or maybe not
or maybe not
And if we lost then we'd all be speaking english and curtsying to the Queen
It would be worth it, if only for the clotted cream and crumpets. Yum.
And Limey Lizzy could be appointed Royal Governess of all Wonkette. Please?
Pshaw! Clotted cream should only be served with scones, heathen!
Of course, there'd be a civil war to fight about whether you should spread the cream first, then the jam, or vice-versa.
I have so much to learn. Back to the Jane Austen first editions, then.
I could go for some crumpet, with or without the clotted cream.
The red coats are just the right height.
Can we be at war with The Netherlands? Because I'd rather fight them over there, if you know what I mean.
What a complete fucking asshat this guy is. He also said in an interview with Georgy boy Stephanopolis that middle income was between $200K and $250K…fucking clueless moron is fucking clueless.
In fairness, he understood Steph's question to be "middle man" income (banker speak for non-Wall St. financial services sorts). These guys are unaware of an American economy or jobs that exist outside the "financial services" industry.
No, that's not what he said at all. No way you can take that interpretation in context:
Now, I linked to the transcript because there is absolutely no mention of "Middle Man", but a talk about the Feldstein study about charitable and mortgage interest deductions
Yeah, I'm getting irritated with this already. You can bark about 250k being the upper limit of middle class as perhaps high. But for fuck's sake do not claim he was saying 200k was the floor.
That is some seriously dishonest shit. Leave that "you didn't build that" nonsense to Mitt's campaign.
"Is $100,000 middle income?" "No"
Apparently, the poverty rate in the US just shot up to more than 80%.
When I called Mittens out on that on HuffyPo, some troll came back at me with "So did Obama" (in an apparent reference to Obama's desire to maintain tax cuts for those with incomes below $250K.) Putting aside the question of whether he actually said people with this amount of money were middle class (I haven't seen a direct quote where he did so, unlike the one from Mittens that you've got), I pointed out one major difference: Obama does not want to raise taxes on this group, whereas Mittens does. Troll had nothing to counter that…
Yes, I was just kidding.
Woohoo. Who knew. I am middle class and I don't make anywhere near that. Is Romney giving me a big, fat raise?
No. You've been demoted to poors. But that's not a bad thing. He said there's a safety net for poors.
The poorz are jes fine.
I thought it was only the "very poorz" who get the safety net. Us real poorz (making between $20k – $200k) are fucked.
If I made 200k I'd be a fucking king.
I'd be out shopping for a better mattress and a new car. Hybrid, of course, 'cause I'm a librul.
Oh man. You remind me the mattress really needs to go. I don't even have that on my list. It does keep me exercising religiously because otherwise my back gives out. So there is that.
FREE PUSSY RIOT!
Where???
With the purchase of another Pussy Riot at regular price!
I knew there was a catch…
That's a great deal, everyone should snatch it right up!
A missile defense system in Poland would have saved Pussy Riot.
So now Obama's not a Muslin? Next thing you know, there'll be a complaint about him not being black enough.
This is totally going to be true on Mitt's planet. This one? Not so much.
This man needs to focus on the middle eastern region of the Planet Kolob (where Mitt is already president).
I gotta a region ya kin handle Mr. Williamson.
Riiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiight here.
Ohhhhhhh!
“There’s a pretty compelling story that if you had a President Romney, you’d be in a different situation,”
Probably the only true statement to come out of Willard's campaign so far. But not for the reason they're citing.
O.K. But if he starts posing for shirtless photos like Putin, then that's crossing a line.
http://abagond.wordpress.com/
Trebuchets loaded and ready. Underwear starched. Ready for Mission (ary) commander..
I hope these jackholes realize that when they cheat, suppress votes and end up buying the election, the U.S. of A is going to look a lot like "Muslim world". (Do they mean the Middle East? Sheeesh!)
Yeah I know, I mean it's not like the country with the world's largest muslim population is Indonesia, or anything. Nor like the second largest is Pakistan.
I believe they mean the textile industry.
I'm probably wrong, but I'm beginning to think that he's been such a fucktard that if the election was stolen, there might actually be rioting and people taking it the street instead of the supreme court like in 2000.
You mean, actual people, not a bunch of lawyers in Brooks Brothers suits?
“For the first time since Jimmy Carter, we’ve had an American ambassador assassinated.”
I'll just leave this here
No
wire hangersfact checking allowed.I knew there was another one! What a bunch of frightfully stupid, desperate people.
A Seperate Reality , by Willard "Mitt" Romney.
Oh, that's totally different. He was just the local USAID head, not the ambassador, so it doesn't count.
See, I was prepared for that argument, and I'll counter by saying he was a diplomat and so the last *diplomat* (i.e. non-combatant American government official) to be killed overseas.
Sure, but MittBot's language parser distinguishes between "ambassador" and "Diplomat." Logic circuits FTW.
Foley wasn't an ambassador.
That said, the last American Ambassador to be assassinated was Arnold Raphel, ambassador to Pakistan, under REAGAN. He died in the same "mysterious" plane crash as President Zia ul-Haq. However, this doesn't fit with Mitt's narrative because 25 years ago the Republicans were best buddies with Islamists like ul-Haq; much easier to blame Carter.
Since it was under Reagan, they will not call it "assassinated".
It is a "mystery" .
I'll add this: http://www.afsa.org/afsa_memorial_plaque_list.asp…. That's a list of the 236 Foreign Service Officers to die in the line of duty up until this week.
At least 30 were killed under Reagan, dying at the hands of terrorists or in attacks on US embassies (some descriptions aren't clear if they were attacks or accidents). Another 10 died from attacks under W, despite the fact that FSOs mainly kept to "secure" compounds in places like Iraq and Afghanistan, and at least a few more died in Iraq and Afghanistan under Obama that can be attributed to W's misadventures. That's on top of the numerous ones who have died because they are living in less developed parts of the world (plane crashes, disease, "lack of medical facilities" etc.)
Making it about the status of any particular victim completely misses the point (which is hardly new for a Romney advisor) – the Foreign Service professionals who choose to serve in places that don't love the US have always been at risk. It is those professionals, not the political appointees that take most of the safe and symbolic ambassadorial posts, that are living in danger every day. They deserve to be honored for their sacrifice just as much as any member of the armed services. It is the price of engaging a hostile world in the service of America's interests and values, and we are all better for their efforts.
Seems especially salient in that there's a pretty good chance the attackers didn't even know the Ambassador was in Benghazi when they launched the attack.
Why are the Republicans suffering from amnesia when it comes to Dubya? I hope that some earnest journalist actually brings this gentleman to Mittens' attention and let's him know that an assassination happened under a Repub watch…..
World class fucking through wearing Romney masks.
Needz moar
Guy FucksGuy Fawkes masks.I think you had it right the first time.
OK, now you're just babbling crazy talk.
They'll like him over there so we don't have to like him over here.
I get a sad when I think about how many times in western history we could have used the bold leadership of this impeccably-coiffed colostomy bag:
Hastings, Oct. 14, 1066
Pearl Harbor, Dec. 7, 1941
Beirut, Oct. 23, 1983
New York, Sept. 11, 2011
Benghazi, Sept. 11, 2012
Why does Mitt Romney hate America so that he failed to prevent Pearl Harbor?????
And why did he go around apologizing to the Japs before they even attacked us??
When the world needed him, where has Mr. Muttons been?!!!
You forgot the day that the Lily Ledbetter fair pay act became law.
He already speaks French.
Bien fait!
You mean "New York, Sept. 11, 2001".
No, actually, I meant NY, Sept. 13, 2012, the Wonkette drink thing–Mitt coulda been the designated driver
(jj–good catch)
Restore Our Future retroactively.
So the guy that managed to piss off our bestest friend in the world on his first trip abroad and then shared how he met the head of MI-6, which the government does not admit exists. Yes I am sure the world holds him in high esteem. He is a steaming pile and should be avoided at all costs is what they should have said.
Does Canada still get huffy when that title isn't applied to them?
Yeah, but they don't have the guts to confront us about it, so they just complain to Australia when we're not in the room.
Well he's right — Muammar Qaddafi would never have let that attack happen.
Not without his approval, at least.
My jaw dropped when I saw conservatives slamming Obama by saying that if he had only kept Qaddafi and Mubarak in office, this never would have happened.
Mitt Romney is the reason you've never been eaten by a lion.
Romney is a McGuffin!
Mitt is the rock that keeps the tigers away
If Mittens gets elected in November the Mayans were right.
Would that mean in the Holy of Holies of the Grand Tabernacle in Salt Lake there is a copy of the Popol Vuh under the alter?
Sure, why not. It would be no different than the other fairy tales under the altar.
Yes the Muslim world is full of esteem for Republican administrations; just look how the Middle East became as placid as a napping kitten during the Reagan, Bush and Bush II terms.
Here's a novel suggestion for our beloved 2 parties…. let's uhhhh… focus on the USA…..
No, the USA is broken and to be sold off at the next Republican garage sale.
As-is.
Romney's is an idiotic campaign, you know.
Really?? Well no wonder he is so appealing to the rightwing.
Romney is to the GOP in 2012, what John Kerry was to the DNC in 2004, and Dukakis in 1988…..
These blind, desperate stabs at injecting self-relevancy into newsworthy events is proving about as clean and dazzle-y for Mittens as his team's appropriating an Aqua-Fresh® logo into his campaign insignia. It's been all downhill since then, IMO.
That's some real good campaignin', there, Mitt, beating on foreign policy for an entire week when 4 percent of the population thinks foreign policy is the key issue in the electio, and nearly everyone thinks Obama's better at it than you.
Romney/Ryan = Dole/Kemp.
God I hope so, Lazy Media!
I've seen our guys blow up a sure thing so many times, I won't feel about comfortable about this statement until January 21, 2013.
Actually, that's an insult to Dole/Kemp (and I consider them to be complete losers, too). Dole was a war hero and, for most part, fairly upstanding. Kemp was jerky, but nowhere near the level of douchebag that Eddie is. Plus they both generally acted like grown ups. Something I have yet to see Thurston or Munster do
Back in the days when the Republican Party had some moderates….
Back in the days when the Republican Party had some humans….
Dole wasn't that bad. In fact, I heard he'd give you his right arm if you needed it.
'Scuse me, Bob, can I borrow that pen?
Shame on you two!
*proudgrampa hides in closet, laughs ass off*
I'm not sure Mittens' campaign is even as competent as the idiots who couldn't get Bob to stop talking in the third person. Plus, as we saw on SNL after he lost, Bob Dole actually can tell a joke when he isn't being controlled by handlers – Mitt, not so much.
I think he dis-esteemed himself by even mentioning Obama.
Jus Wonderin is speechless. Speechless.
Would that be Jus Speechless?
Yeah, let's all join together in blatantly ignoring that the rate of attacks on US Embassies under Obama is about 1/6th of what it was under Bush, whose foreign policy Mitt would replicate in every way except for the names of the countries he'd invade under dubious pretenses, and also PEPFAR.
Mitt Romney for President. Of Freedonia.
I don't even want him to be president of Ruritania.
How about king of the Islets of Langerhans?
Hell no I don't want him having authority of any of my body, and nor do you I suspect.
Maybe he can be president of Anoat. Maybe.
These are the laws
Of my administration:
No one’s allowed to smoke,
Or tell a dirty joke
And whistling is forbidden.
(We’re not allowed to tell a dirty joke!)
Hail, hail Freedonia!
If chewing gum is chewed
The chewer is pursued
And in the hoosegow hidden.
(If we choose to chew we’ll be pursued!)
If any form of pleasure is exhibited,
Report to me
And it will be prohibited!
I’ll put my foot down,
So shall it be!
This is the Land of the Free!
The last man nearly ruined this place,
He didn’t know what to do with it.
If you think this country’s bad off now,
Just wait ill I get through with it!
This country’s taxes must be fixed
And I know what to do with it!
If you think you’re paying too much now,
Just wait till I get through with it!
(…)
I wondered where Singapore had gotten its legal code.
Mitt would have lost Grenada, for fuck's sake.
But he would have bought it back in an LBO of the Marxist guerrillas, then used it as collateral to take out a loan to buy Cuba and run it into the ground. So win-win.
Mittens has apparently grown a bigger stick.
Or just become a bigger tool.
In his magic undies!!!
Let's see – how would he have done different?….would he have growled at them: "Muslins? Grrr…grrrrrrr…..woof….get off my roof….."?
Well, you know Who Else would have forced the Middle East to hold his country in greater esteem?
Bibi, with Mitt's help?
T. E. Lawrence?
Richard I? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Richard_I_of_England…
Alexander the Great of Macedonia?
Tamerlane the Magnificent, who built a pyramid of 90,000 human heads in the charred ruins of Baghdad?
Xerxes?
Ozymandias, king of kings?
I looked upon his works. And despaired.
I know – they're headless….
Peter Thiel, President and CEO of Sealandia?
Melkor…oh, wait…that's Middle Earth.
Close enough.
King David? Julius Cesar? Hannibal? Faisal ibn Saud? Mustafa Kemal Ataturk? Bashir Assad? Anwar Sadat?
The list goes on and on.
I am actually not interested in providing world class fucking to anyone wearing Romney's stupid fucking smirk face. That would be a whole different kind of penetration if it were up to me.
You feelin' stabby, missy?
Where's BigSkullF*ckingDog? She can explain it better'n me with just her name.
OoooOOOoooh.
But – legitimate?
With votes?
I don't own any masks, not even one, I haven't borrowed or rented any masks, I hate masks and never wear a mask for any purpose ever. However I have it on goodd authority that all these other guys around here and really, all men everywhere, all are secret Romney-mask wearers, though they may deny it. Just thought you should know.
Can't spell assassinate without 'ass', can't spell Mitt without 'asshole'.
Meanwhile, back at the ranch, Tonto, errrr, Jenny Rubin, says "OK, Bernake committed the Fed to paying billions yesterday, but where are the jobs today? I blame Obama."
I worry about her, that she might end up in a straightjacket
OK, no, I don't worry. I wish it would happen.
Not only will I deny my children this wonderful opportunity, but I will gleefully take that "first step into 1,000 years of darkness". Bwa ha ha ha ha!
JIMMY CARTER BUDDHIST TEMPLE AMNESTY I BUILT THAT RULE OF LAW CHURCHILL AGENDA NO CONTROLLING LEGAL AUTHORITY LIBERAL MEDIA .
Bingo!
OHHHH…. NOW I get it!
Billy Joel is interested in updating We didn't start the fire and would like your help.
Tough to find a meter for "no controlling legal authority", though.
"planes crash into towers – no one could foresee"?
The Romney Doctrine: Peace Through Fuck You.
With its corollary, Because Shut Up.
Mittens will be greeted as a liberator.
We could send him over to test that out, maybe?
What's funny is that Mann Coulter is actually pointing to Iraq as a success in bringing democracy to the mideast
By democracy, she means skullfucking the Poors.
He wouldn't be greeted as a carburetor.
Let's throw flowers and kisses at him. Or something.
You misspelled Lie Berater.
It's just exactly like Romney is George Washington, Abe Lincoln, Teddy Roosevelt and Ronald Reagan, all unified into one corporate-merged entity.
Dead Presidents, Inc., Rmoney, CEO.
Politicians are people, too, my friend….
Other events of the hypothetical 2008-12 Romney Administration:
(1) The Great Food Riots of 2009, when thousands stormed Safeway to find bread
(2) The Third Persian Gulf War, which began in 2011 after the Saudi ambassador referred to Ann Romney as "a woman indistinguishable from her mount."
(3) The Homeless Migration of 2012, in which thousands of foreclosed homeowners, who lost their jobs after GM, Ford and Chrysler closed down, descended upon Florida, Alabama and South Carolina, hoping to escape a brutal winter and find non-union labor with no benefits.
"Mitt's Folly" – when we gave Florida to Israel and then forced all hispanics living there to migrate to Palestine, where "they would fit in, being brown and all like that…"
(4) The Lysistrata Revolt of 2010, when hundreds of thousands of women marched on Washington when their rights to birth control were reversed, vowing to "unservice" their husbands until their rights are restored.
The Great Senior Die-Off of 2011, after Ryan's voucher program goes into effect. This saves us a lot of money, allowing for a fifth round of tax cuts for the rich.
Mittens is fluent in the cheese eating surrender monkey language of the French – no fucking way any tur-er-us is gonna fear him.
“For the first time since Jimmy Carter, we’ve had an American ambassador assassinated.”
Actor212 mentioned Lawrence Foley above. Why not pile on. Even if we stick to diplomats who were ambassadors, Reagan's ambassador to Pakistan, Arnold Lewis Raphel died in an unexplained, and rather suspicious plane crash killing President Zia Al-Haq and a US General. Even under Saint Reagan!
These guys can't even get right the most simple facts that anyone with an internet connection can check in five minutes.
Wait, is that from a fact checker? BAN HAMMER!!
“It’s not an issue,” Romney adviser Stuart Stevens said in an interview [about Romney's boneheaded pre-emptive strike about Egypt and Libya]. “It was an issue with Barack Obama four years ago, given the fact that he was younger and had little experience, and given his answers in the debates. He had stumble after stumble with foreign policy. Mitt Romney hasn’t. He’s run for president twice now and it’s not been his problem.”
Just so I'm clear, Mr. Stevens. You're saying that Mitt's two-time failed presidential campaigns makes him more experienced on foreign policy matters than the current sitting POTUS? Please, please share all your drugs and share your work. Kthx.
All his business travel in first class jets and five star hotels gives him great insight into the plight of the poor around the world. As opposed to Obama's community organizing, which took place entirely in Bill Ayer's living room.
Stupid is a helluva drug.
Fuck his work, jes gimme the drugs. There is a weekend coming up and I want to at least look like I'm planning for the future.
Why are these people still running against Jimmy Carter? Could it be that their base is the only demo bracket OLD enough to remember him?
Also, has Mr. Romney been sufficiently disgusting and assholish this week that he is no longer deserving of the prohibition on our calling for his immediate skull-fucking? The man is, at his essence, gross.
For the same reason that Mittens thinks that Russia is our prime geo-political foe… he's stuck in some weird time warp…
It's just a jump to the left….
Oh, so that's what really drove him insane. I'd been wondering.
What's most hilarious is that Carter should be a guy they approve of—he was elected originally by white, working class men, he's a former Naval Nuclear Engineer, a Christian Evangelist and has reinvented himself through possibly the most UNcontroversial (well, aside from helping teh poors) charity there is.
I shoot a match Tuesday nights at a local indoor range. In their bathroom, they have the "Hanoi Jane" urinal targets. I've seen these at gun shows. The precipitating incident occurred in July 1972. Forty fucking years ago.
Because nothing makes Muslims love you more than a good healthy dose of bombing the fuck out of them.
Mooslims love dancing horses I hear, so I'd send Ann Romney on a dressage tour of the whole middle east. I imagine they would all convert from that cooky religion by the time it was over.
Mitt Romney for President. Of Freedonia. Wrong Freedonia
“It’s not an issue,” Romney adviser Stuart Stevens said in an interview [about Romney's boneheaded pre-emptive strike about Egypt and Libya]. “It was an issue with Barack Obama four years ago, given the fact that he was younger and had little experience, and given his answers in the debates. He had stumble after stumble with foreign policy
Stumble after stumble? I don't remember that. I do remember him insisting that he would go after Bin Laden unilaterally if OBL were hiding in Pakistan and the government of Pakistan were not acting. McCain and RMoney were both pretty upset about that as I recall, and said that would be an awful thing to do. So I guess that's what you mean.
That's a great point, Mr. Stevens. You should run with it.
that's exactly what i was going to note.
wtf stumbles is he talking about? the fact that wingtards have to blather on and on about '57 states' and teleprompters is a clue that they got nothing else.
Marine Corpse libel!!11!1!!!
If Mittenz were Prez, he would long ago have been spraying an aerosol of finely ground pork over the entire Muslim world just like Trickie Dick did with Agent Orange in Vietnam.
well to be fair, mittens wouldn't have gotten bin laden.
And GM would be dead.
That certainly would have lessened their desire for revenge, if all their leaders were un-assassinated. Then we could focus our energies in our new war with Russia and China. Brilliant!
Lou Sarah for Sec of State 'cause she knows how to deal with that Putin fucker when he rears his ugly head.
Blow him?
The North-Korea-ness of this is very reassuring. Kim Jong Romney will prevail and create a world of peace and prosperity for the glorious Mormon States of America!
Thank you. I knew there was someone of whom he was reminding me.
Of course, Kim Jong Il is dead, so there is room for improvement for Romney.
You know who else was known as the Prince of Peace?
Sprout?
Oh sorry, I thought you said the Prince of Peas.
No no no. He said something else completely!
This Guy?
My brother made a similar argument after he f*cked my wife.
That if Mitt Romney had been President it wouldn't have happened? Because I could totally see that.
Of course, it's worth remembering that there were 12 terrorist attacks on overseas U.S. embassies during the Bush II administration–and the terrorist attacks of 9/11 occurred during the Bush II administration. But the reality is that attacks–domestic and foreign–will occur during any administration, whether it's FDR, Truman, Eisenhower, Kennedy, Johnson, Nixon, Ford, Carter, Reagan, Bush I, Clinton, Bush II or Obama. That's the reality. It doesn't matter who is in office. And for anyone to politicize an attack, domestic or foreign, like Romney did–that's just amateurish, unprofessional, offensive, wrong, and just plain stupid. It shows why Romney should not be elected to any political office.
Sergio De Mello died in the early days of the Iraq war when our Viceroy was too busy shoveling plane loads of hundred dollar bills to military contractors paid to protect him.
But it doesn't matter. Their game plan is simply to lie and hope no one either notices or cares. If these fuckers win, I am forming a militia and moving into the woods behind Strawberry Fields to plot revolution.
Well said. And eloquent.
The only thing I could add is that Romney is a poo-poo head.
And he's got that fucking head so big it ought to be on another body. Like Wilt Chamberlain size. Every time I see Mittens I half expect to see "MetLife" on the side of his skull.
Um, just try to say what you mean, frontpage….we get it – Obama is a Muslim…
Under a Romney presidency, instead of seeing worldwide riots over The Innocence of Muslims, there would instead be violent riots over The God Makers.
Oh yeah?
If Monsieur Grumpe were president we’d all have personal jet packs, our farts would smell like roses and Mazak would be illegal.
Translation:
"compelling story"=fact-free, logic-free lie
"much greater esteem"=muslins will bow down before a rich, white guy
"hypothetical Romney administration"=white entitlment is right
"would have prevented violent protests"=rich guy with retroactive money machine can buy anyone, anywhere, anytime
ok then i will vote for romney for pete's sake!!!
A Republican Romney administration would have been held in greater esteem by the Muslim royalty, perhaps…
Why do the talking heads on TV take this shit seriously? They nod their well groomed heads as if what was just said had any basis in reality. What's wrong with the occasional
"Are you fucking nuts?" reply? We're supposed to believe than Romney, by dint of his regal gaze and stern finger pointing, would prevent any and all protests in the Muslim world? That's essentially their position isn't it? How is that not met with a swift kick in the nutz and advice to visit the nearest mental health facility?
Romney is Bill Bradksy!
They use Mitt's foreskin as a tarp when it rains at the Salt Lake Stadium!
If the Universe were run like a fucking business, we'd be contracting, not expanding.
The Mitt Romney Song will become the new national anthem:
Our President, proudly hailed he is,
Throughout this land, cheers loudly ring.
The people he proudly leads,
The Sun's cause he carries on.
Long live, long live, President Romney!
All the blossoms of this earth
His wide and sweet love they tell,
The East and West Seas' waters deep blue
His actions they proudly sing.
The Rose Garden he glorifies,
for a joyful artist he truly is.
Long live, long live, President Romney!
With his strong courage and will,
Capitalism he proudly defends.
Our nation's great honor and pride,
To all across the world's corners he truly brings.
For freedom he truly stands,
and he wins the justice for all.
Long live, long live, President Romney!
Roanoke Colony? Romney conquers the Tidewater region.

Mexican War? US annexes everything south to Panama, Romney hand-digs canal.
War of Northern Aggression? Romney leads South to victory, then frees slaves.
WWI? Kaiser abdicates in 1910 because Romney smirked at him.
WWII? Romney destroys Japanese fleet in attack announced in advance.
Korea? Communist China surrenders to US.
Vietnam? Ho Chi Minh last seen escaping by helicopter.
Middle East? Muslims and Jews convert to LDS without even dying first.
Wow.
That's an alternate history that would make an entire series. Are you Harry Turtledove?
Needs moar bad puns.
The answer, my friends,
is blowing through Mitt's hair
The answer is blowing through Mitt's hair
The answer is blowing out Mitt's ass.
Change horses in mid-stream? Well, Mitt actually HAS a horsie, and your kick-ass Kenyan leader doesn't.
So you have one guy, the one who killed bin Laden, slowly wading across the stream and the other guy on a real dancing pony. Word spreads throughout the Muslim world that Rafalca is coming and the anger changes to laughter.
Paul Ryan says he will cut funding for security at the Embassies abroad. Vote Mitt and save this poor ole world.
If Romney is the Answer…
…then the question must be:
"What's more useless than an iPhone tatoo?"
Wow! So that's what panicked flop-sweat smells like.
President Mittens Willard Romulus's "peace through esteem" solution sounds airtight. After all, we know how high in esteem everyone held Taxachussettes in while he was governor back in 2004.
because Rmoney would control the xenophobic religious zealots in his party who screech about burning Korans and making bad movies just to infuriate people in the third-world?
Mitt has a more active fantasy life than J. R. R. Tolkien. Wasn't there a James Thurber story entitled "The Secret Life of Mittens Romney"?
I'm having a hard time understanding something. If Mitt is a living god, come to us from the future to show us the error of our ways, why couldn't he have set his time machine for 2008 instead of now so all this wouldn't be happening?
The Arabs would hold a Mormon in higher esteem than a fellow Muslim? Seems a bit of a stretch.
Mitt wants to take his stick out… "can I, huh, can I?"
How can President Obama be offering them lemonade, when it's already been established that he hasn't seen the inside of a lemonade stand? Eh? We need a thorough investigation!
penis
And not in any good way.
So let me get right wing batshittery straight:
Obama is a secret Muslim that the Muslim world hates because they would much prefer the Mormon.
Got it.
Telling that the Romney hack used "story" instead of "case", as he is aware that what he is spinning is complete fiction.
"…the Muslim world would have held the hypothetical Romney administration of 2008-2012 in much greater esteem, which would have prevented violent protests over an anti-Muslim film like the one that led to Stevens’s death."
No, it just means the violent protests would have been over the Romney administration's latest extension of the middle finger to the Muslim community by having one of their many anti-Islam Republicans show up to an Egyptian state funeral in a mint-green parka.
Cool story, bro.
"Jimmy Carter"
…was right.

GREETINGS FROM HISTORY, SIMULATED WHITE FINISH MEXICAN ROBOT
I actually think his brain is incapable of functioning when his obvious lies are challenged. I consider it to be a disqualifying flaw – in fact, two disqualifying flaws – the constant telling of obvious lies, and the inability to function in the presence of dissent.
In context, there's no coherent way to parse his sentence, it's self-contradictory. The "no" is probably a verbal tic, albeit a strange one. Even if you remove it, though, the answer is entirely nonresponsive, because within it is an admission Mitt desperately wants to avoid making explicit – that he will raise taxes on the middle class if elected.
He certainly should be hammered for that answer.
If only we had had a Republican president 11 years ago. Think of all the terrorism we would have avoided. Because Muslims love/fear America when the Republicans are in charge.
Oh, wait. Did I say 11 years ago?
The one thing that all the world's religions have in common: none of them associate Mitt Romney with the word "esteem."
I don't want to have to do Frank Luntz's job or anything, but this entire weekend will be dominated by the Republican war machine discussing how Obama is too weak to effectively kill every brown person in the world. And as long as it is framed in terms of every single death of an American being Obama's fault, it will probably help Romney's numbers.
did a republican really just claim that he's qualified to be president because muslims would like him more than president obama?
YESSSSSS!
I knew that "Scavenging Thru Rubble 4 Fun & Prophet" workshop would pay off eventually!
"Will you deny that opportunity to your children?" Yes! With every fiber of my being…
Now he can't even hold a firm stance within the bounds of a single sentence!
Had to happen sooner or later.
Side note: I used to live literally next door to where Jane Austen used to live.
"Jane Austen in Bath"
You durty thing, you!
