Of course they've been trying to blame it all on a little film that almost no one had seen until recently because they don't want anyone talking about their cozy alignment with the Muslim Brotherhood and still getting smacked by them anyway.

too bad Romney already crap the bed on this. if he'd played things right he might have been able to score some points and put a dent in Obama's big advantage over him on national security issues.

He's scored huge points on it by noting Obama's support for the Muslim Brotherhood. No bounce for Obama, remember?

You mean they gave up blaming a stupid "Youtube" video that was an "abuse of free speech."

So let's get this straight: In the consensus view of modern American liberalism, it is hilarious to mock Mormons and Mormonism but outrageous to mock Muslims and Islam. Why? Maybe it's because nobody has ever been harmed, much less killed, making fun of Mormons.

reality disagrees with you...

Pew Research 9/13-9/16
Thinking about recent attacks on US embassies in the Middle East, opinion of...

Obama's handling of situation
45% approve
36% disapprove

Romney's comments on situation
26% approve
48% disapprove

NBC/WSJ 9/12-9/16

Who would be better commander-in-chief?
45% Obama
38% Romney

i guess voters weren't very moved by Obama's fictional support of Muslim Brotherhood.

No bounce for Obama, remember?

RCP Average 9/3 (start of DNC):
Tied

RCP Average Today
Obama +4

....to be fair though, it's hard to say if this 4 point bounce is all from the convention or if some of it is from Romney's manifold screw ups since then.
