Well at least Romney thinks this guy represents the American values we should never apologize for.  Romney's boy for sure.

Well at least Romney thinks this guy represents the American values we should never apologize for.  Romney's boy for sure.

"GOP presidential candidate Mitt Romney came under fire for using a press conference Wednesday morning to double down on an attack on the Obama administration's handling of the crisis overseas. Romney said the US must defend its constitutional values."

[JeffreyS]

When he criticized any apology about mocking Muslims he said he would not apologize for American values.

[Captain Zissou]

Although there was initial confusion about who made the film, The Wall Street Journal reported that the drama, titled “Innocence of Muslims,” was produced and directed by an Israeli-American, Sam Bacile, a California real-estate developer who called Islam “a cancer,” in an interview. Mr. Bacile told The Journal that he raised $5 million from about 100 Jewish donors and shot the two-hour movie in California last year.

There is no way that movie cost $5M to make.  I watched the trailer and it seriously looks like it cost $5,000 at most to produce. 

Well at least Romney thinks this guy represents the American values we should never apologize for.  Romney's boy for sure.

What logical thought process brought you to this conclusion?

[JeffreyS]

It's a bit of a stretch meant to be a zinger. He complained about the embassy apologizing for the recent Muslim bashing befor the protests. Saying we shouldn't apologize for American values.

I did not realize that Romney was trying to pretend the statement was from Obama after the violence.

Crazy, those idiots over there are always burning the US Flag, hanging presidential dolls, but when some nobody makes a movie in America those idiots get upset.

The US must defend its Constitutional values? What part of the Constitution is Romney referring to........

One of nearly 100 KFIR Israeli built fighter bombers built up on a Super Mirage airframe.

To be truthful it's really more like 25 airplanes, most have been modernized by the Israelis in the last few years.  If you watch the skies around Jacksonville you will see a Kfir blasting around every few months.  The roar of that J79 will wake you up, nothing sounds like a J79.  The Kfir is a great little plane.  The Navy contracts a company called ATAC that uses the Kfir and Hawker Hunters in the adversary role against carriers groups training offshore.  When they are in town they fly out of NAS Jax.  The Kfirs put on a great show when they come into he landing pattern, that delta wing on it's side looks out of place considering all of our fighters use a conventional wing.

Sorry to continue on the tangent...

A couple years back I was going to Target one day and I thought I saw a Dassault Rafale....after some research I found out it was ATAC. 

Here is a link for more info.

OMG

[avonjax]

Freedom of Speech is important but......good sense comes in handy most of the time. Just because you have the right to say something doesn't mean you always should.

[NotNow]

I can't argue with that.  This site is a good example.   But in this country, we allow opposing views.  Even contraversial views.   It IS a Constitutional value.  I believe that Mr. Romney is correct when he says that we should defend the Constitution.

I don't agree with Terry Jones, or Mikhail Muhammud.  Or even you most of the time.  But all of you have every right to voice your opinion. 

[buckethead]

Let's be honest here. Romney was trying to score political points by inserting the subject of "constitutionality".
strawman-PHAIL.

Obama did not attempt to stifle any free speech, he just apologized for certain Americans utilizing their free speech where one bully attempted to provoke another bully.

Perhaps it was a political ploy as well, but since it was the right thing to do, no strawman-PHAIL for President Obama (on this one)

Romney: send in the MIC, guns ablazin'.

Obama: sorry about the asswipes, but Libya needs to deal swiftly and effectively with these murders.

(Side note: The MIC has already been in Libya with Guns Ablazin' so painting Obama as the dove here is just a little disingenuous, but in terms of politics, he played it far better than Romney)

[JeffreyS]

Well said Bucket you and your darn voice of reason. Making me look petty with my spin on Romney' s statement.
