Our embassy workers attacked - so first Romney attacks THEM!

Our embassy workers in Egypt, probably afraid for their lives, issued a statement saying wha Romney later said was true - that the anti-Islam video was horrible. So when our embassy workers WERE attacked, did Romney come to their aid No, his first instinct was to attack the Americans, calling them apologists, cowards, traitors. No one in Romneys family has served in the military in FIVE GENERATIONS - not a single one of them. But when someone else puts their life on the line for us - he ATTACKS THEM!

Attackers of HRC in the middle east were quoting Bachmann talking points, that Hillary was tied to Muslim brotherhood conspiracy. Now, HRC's organization, the embassies are attacked, by organizations with ties to Al Qaeda.

Now can you IMAGINE if a conspiracy theory on the left were associated with Al Qaeda attacks on US government abroad what the ramifications would be for us on the left? I shudder to think. But when its right wing talking points, nobody cares to critique. I guess that's the difference between them and us.
