Unconfirmed graphic ‘death photos’ of US Ambassador Stevens circulating on Twitter
Michelle Malkin's Twitchy ^ | 9/12/2012 | Twitchy Staff

Posted on 09/12/2012 5:52:44 AM PDT by blueyon

As horrible news broke this morning about the death of Christopher Stevens, U.S. ambassador to Libya, at least four graphic photos purportedly showing his death during the savage embassy attack began circulating. The man in the photos appears to be the ambassador, but some reports indicate Stevens died in the hospital.

HOWEVER if his handlers sieze the opportunity and respond with overwhelming force it could actually propel him to victory despite the economy.”

He will respond. There is zero chance that Rahm will allow this to go to waste.

But...it might not decide the election. It will deflate the left and indys will hopefully see through it.

get set for obama to launch a few missiles, or something. But he is not going to sit by idly (though he would sure love to....). For him, this will be a gut-wrenching “decision” and he will congratulate himself for it later, though for all of us, it is obvious and a no brainer.

Of course, the fact that he hasn’t announced anything already is going to hurt him with the beloved independents...because they will hopefully see his response as phony. (Then again, the beloved independents are the most brain dead, so they might well be fooled by some sort of “strong response”).

We need to contract with S. African police to deal with this protest.

“The man in that photo doesn’t look dead or unconscious to me. You can see the tendons in his arms tightened, like he is trying to hold himself up.”

Is someone holding a camera or tape recorder up to his face?

OK reading several different reports now. Where they trying to “help” him or “Harming” him more?

Yesterday’s incidents will now DECIDE THIS ELECTION one way or the other in my opinion, and Obama has around 24 hours to either SEAL HIS FATE or SAVE HIS PRESIDENCY.

You are kidding right? You forgot you are talking about Americans here. This will be forgotten by 99% within a week...or if the Kardashians come out with a new bikini photo whatever comes first.

The heading on the photo says “Libyans help unconcious man”. Were they “helping” him, or were they playing with the corpse?

That is what I am trying to find out also. I am hearing several different things now.

There was a reason our ancestors fought these bastards 700-900 years ago. Every few years or so reminds us why.

90% of our society is too PC to realize that Muslims are our enemy, and they need to be eliminated.

It looks to me like this poor man was beaten to death by the mob. I see no reason to think the was “helped” by holding him up for a mob photo op. They were basically playing with the body, and they are savages. Why would anyone think they were helping the ambassador?

IF he continues to vacillate and show weakness like he has with the veiled apology to Egypt and crap he is done and will lose by epic proportions

Of course that is what should happen, but with all the help this jerk is getting from his liberal media friends, the American Sheeple will listen to what Brian and Matt and Diane and all the rest tell them.

Aside from the obvious & forgivable fact it’s a very early edit (every movie looks pretty bad when the first cuts and prototype effects are duct-taped together)...
I’m amazed the producer got anyone to act in it. Pretty bad.
Doesn’t justify [insert prolonged standard reaction here].

Marines don’t stand by....

The two unidentified “staffers” were Marine guards, they died of gunshot wounds. They killed many of the attackers before they were kia protecting Ambassador Stevens.

The group of four went to the consulate to evacuate the staffers there. They were ambushed on the way there by a heavily armed force. It was a planned ambush. The RPG disabled the vehicle and a running firefight began.

Ambassador Stevens was carried to a nearby hospital by Libyans and died of either smoke inhalation or some other form of suffocation...

A Marine QRF (Quick Reaction Force) is there now.

"Of course, taking it one step further, a 'strong' but ill-conceived response could just throw gas on the fire and leave him facing a crisis miles beyond his ability to cope."

Check his fingernails. If chewed to the nub, he will EITHER request "talks with M.E. "leaders" (although not any talks with Netanyahu) OR he will unleash hellfire that won't end with Marines at Tripoli. I bet he doesn't have any idea of what to attach his name to. He will throw someone under the bus you can be sure of that.

It does not look like he was beaten to death IMO.I would say a gunshot or shrapnel /smoke did him in.

Probably just getting him the heck out of the line of fire. Have to do that before any kind of aid can be administered...if it’s not too late.

I think it was pretty much intended for the offended audience.
They knew what would happen, it was their intention to create a catalyst. IMHO.
