They know how damaging this moment was to Mittens, they're desperate and reaching now with word games.

LOL

Nice try, asshats.

Romney said act of terror twice. I t was Crowley who used the word terrorism. But to try to deflate this is pure reaching. Face it republicans, you been had tonight.

a "certificate of live birth" was not a "birth certificate."

The diehard GOPers will see it through their lens the way they wish to see it, and there will be no changing their mind.

and now they got themselves beaten with it. It's time to let go of that bone. They're outted, it's done. They should've had more sense than to fabricate this bs to begin with.

From day one Obama and Hillary said the people who killed the embassador did not appear to be mere protestors, that they used the protests as cover, that this appeared to be a sophisticated, coordinated attack. And then Susan Rice made that poorly worded statement to the effect that they did not have evidence that it was a terrorist attack--and Fox and Mitt seized on that.

Good timeline and recap here:

Yes...yes they are.

substantial and ugly as they are.

Tens of millions of people saw Romney get fact checked in real time by the moderator. They saw Obama's "proceed" moment. They can't put that genie back in the bottle. That was a really bad moment for Romney, and I don't think them debating whether acts of terror meant terrorism or was about the event in question undoes that image of Romney smuggly acting all gotcha with the president and getting smacked down by both Obama and CC.

I find their argument nonsensical and meaningless, as the very definition of terrorism, I would dare say, is the commission of "acts of terror," but whatever fever-ridden save they think they've cooked up in their hive-mind, fuck them.

You lose and there's no fixing that.

Acts of the responsible responsibility? Acts of loving love? Acts of liberals liberal? Acts of conservatives conservatism?

what, exactly, do you mean by "of"?

I was just gonna post "depends on what the meaning of "terror" is."

4 Americans are dead.

And one side is trying to twist that to advantage.

And one side is trying to run the American government.

And that much is obvious to everyone. So as Obama said tonight, "Proceed . . . . "

LOL, my kid has neither - she has a "Certification of Vital Record". I wonder what they'd make of that?

...that Obama had not called it "an act of terror" until two weeks later.

(I hope, if Romney brings it up again at the third debate, that Obama will be quick enough to correct the one slip I saw him make all evening: going along with the questioner's assumption that there had been a request for more security at the consulate in Benghazi. In fact, the request was for the embassy in Tripoli; neither Obama nor Clinton ever had to deal with a request for security in Benghazi, because no such request was ever made.)

You don't hang your SOS out there in the world, twisting in the wind. You MUST back him/her, because s/he'd be impotent without the President backing him/her. That's a strong position in the world.

I think he did not forget Tripoli. He was just making a different more important statement. It was the right thing to do.

They have no plans, aside from flip-flopping. They are fighting tooth and nail to pin Libya on Obama because they're hoping it sticks with the wars monger voters.

Seriously is this all they have to talk about? What about Mittens tax returns or his 20% tax cut that's unpaid for!

That always shuts them up IRL & makes them go bother someone else online.

all this time has nothing to do with terrorism? Because, you know, terror and terrorism are two totally different things. Ask him did he make that distinction all those thousands of times Bush put his face in front of a camera and babbled about "terror".

Also, don't forget to give him grief for not capitalizing "America" in his ridiculous username. Pretty damn disrespectful if you ask me. Why does he hate America?

And that username - america2revolt? Really? Is this person another wannabe RW revolutionary? Those have got to be among the most pathetic people on the face of the earth.
