To Steerpike: The writer is described as a "resident" of Benghazi - not necessarily someone born there. I was assuming it was an American who is living in Benghazi, maybe permanently, maybe temporarily.
So I guess Romney also condemned the Bush administration's response to the Danish cartoons as support for the mob violence following their publication?
''We find them offensive, and we certainly understand why Muslims would find these images offensive.''
When a singer covers a song, it is not a breach of copyright. But the writer of the song is owed royalties.
A more practical bill would require Youtube to pay writer's royalties on every view/play of a song. (It might be up to the writer to alert Youtube that they are the owners of the song.)
BTW, the attack on "corporations" is a mask for unwillingness to reward writers for their work.
I’ve always been fascinated by the fact that here was a relatively small country that from a strictly military point of view accomplished incredible things.
Hmm. If he was truly impressed with the military of a small country doing big things, wouldn't he more appropriately want to dress up as a British redcoat? (Considering how tiny Britain is, and how much of the world it once controlled. )
I'd like to hear Robert Gibbs open every press briefing with, "Here's the latest outrage from Fox News," and go on to specify how Fox has lied/distorted the day before. Not that Fox would change, but drawing attention to their mendacious ways could only help the American public.

Morales: another brown-skinned victim of our "stop and frisk" policies?
(Apologies for the typo - an edit option after posting would be good to have)
Ambasaador Crocker's observation from a few years ago still holds true, I suspect:
“The events for which the Iraq war will be remembered have not yet happened.”
From Bain's point of view, most of the 22% were winners: Bain had sucked its profits out of the businesses before turning them loose to go bankrupt.

I'd like to see the evidence for claim #5 (no request for increased security at Benghazi).
This CNN story seems to contradict the claim:

We have lived through the butterfly effect for the past ten years.
Consider what effect the poor design of the 2000 Florida "butterfly" ballot has had on our nation and the world.

Oh, I'm forgetting: IOKIYAR

I would have preferred that the no-fly zone be enforced by the Arab League, rather than by NATO. Egypt, Saudi Arabia and Jordan all have air forces.
If the Arab League had requested US help in eliminating anti-aircraft installations, we could have responded in that limited scope.

Redcoats not right wing enough, I guess....
No, they'll just say it's Obama's fault that things are going downhill.
Sometimes?

".....it was Jefferson’s more bigotted opponents......."
Er, Juan, it's "bigoted", not "bigotted".
McVeigh wasn't a Christianist. More of an anti-government gun nut - a more extreme version of the Tea Party types.
