Shades . . .

. . . of gray?  Not in Mitt Romney's (and his current defenders') world. . .


After seeing the photo of Libyans holding a sign stating that "Chris Stevens was a friend to all Libyans",  I decided to change tack a bit.

If you want to have a tough-talking, take-no prisoners, shoot-from-the-hip, show-no-mercy-type of president, vote for Mitt Romney.

If you prefer a rational, sympathetic, empathetic, thorough, fact-loving, humanitarian, logical, intelligent and reasonable president, DON'T.

The Romney campaign's statement seemed to be an attempt to capitalize on the appearance that the Obama administration -- which has overseen the Arab Spring, and the rise of Islamist governments in both Egypt and Libya -- was capitulating to the sensitivities of an unruly Muslim crowd, rather than backing the right of an American citizen to release a disrespectful film.

But the statement criticized by the Romney campaign came early in the day, before the attacks on the two embassies, and was put out not by the White House, but by the Cairo embassy itself.
The White House later disavowed the statement as not approved by Washington, according to a senior administration official speaking to Politico.

Obama campaign spokesman Ben LaBolt also commented on the statement from the Romney campaign. “We are shocked that, at a time when the United States of America is confronting the tragic death of one of our diplomatic officers in Libya, Governor Romney would choose to launch a political attack,” LaBolt said in a statement.

CNN’s Brooke Baldwin and John Berman did an excellent job of keeping the facts straight as they interviewed former Speaker Gingrich on the subject, no mean feat given Gingrich’s comical contempt for facts. Early in the interview, Gingrich opined that the protests in Libya and Egypt were the result of “collusion and a fair amount of planning,” which may or may not turn out to be true, but which there is no evidence of. When Berman asked the Speaker “Do you have any proof that there is a connection right now?” Gingrich prefaced his response with a long, derisive laugh that tells you everything you need to know about the former Speaker and Romney surrogate’s regard for facts.
“Look, I don’t have access to the NSA listening devices,” Gingrich responded.
