Hillary Doubled Down on Egypt 'Apology'

For the second time in as many weeks, the State Department has contradicted President Barack Obama, as Secretary of State Hillary Clinton re-affirmed the apologetic stance disavowed earlier this evening by the White House in reacting to the storming of the U.S. embassy in Cairo by a mob of radical Egyptian Al Qaeda sympathizers on the 11th anniversary of the 9/11 attacks.

Clinton's statements on the day's events, released through the State Department's website and Twitter feed, condemn "in the strongest possible terms" an attack on the U.S. consulate in Libya in Benghazi that left one American dead, but offer no condemnation of the attack on the U.S. embassy in Cairo.

Instead, Clinton reiterates an apology issued earlier today by the U.S. Embassy in Cairo--now deleted--which said: "We condemn the continuing efforts by misguided individuals to hurt the religious feelings of Muslims."

"The U.S. deplores any intentional effort to denigrate the religious beliefs of others," Clinton said. "Our commitment to religious tolerance goes back to the very beginning of our nation," she added.

However, the White House has distanced itself from such apologies, according to Politico, saying that they were not "cleared by Washington."

Evidently, there is some discord in Washington.

To bad the Romney lovers here were too dumb to see that Bachmann is the right choice in these desperate times.

[jersey117]

I actually agree with you. I am a Romney supporter but disagreed on attacking the messenger - Bachmann. She is one smart lady and should be given a prominent role in the administration.

"The U.S. deplores any intentional effort to denigrate the religious beliefs of others," Clinton said.

Not always, Hillary. It depends on which religion is being denigrated.

Clinton's statement is nothing but political gobbledygook.

Maybe it’s time to quietly hold Mecca hostage.

That is, let it be known among the top players in Islam that we have had enough of their barbarism, and unless they put a firm lid on it, there is going to be an extremely dirty nuclear detonation that is not only going to annihilate Mecca, but make many square miles of it and surrounding it uninhabitable to any form of life for 10,000 or more years.

We do not care if they have to behead a million of their more terroristic brethren, if that is what is necessary to bring this crapola to a halt. But they have a very limited and firm timetable to do so, or bye-bye Mecca, for good.

That is, unless they think that Allan will intervene to prevent it. But they shouldn’t place any bets on that.

Nope, just the opposite.

Watch the left make the claim the repubs are behind it to make Zippo look like Peanuts Carter.

"The U.S. deplores any intentional effort to denigrate the religious beliefs of others," Clinton said.

Says the member of an administration whose campaign took a million dollars from a person (Bill Maher) who is a professional Christian-bater.

[TomGuy]

This is one I just don’t get. Yes, Hillary is a liberal and was a “blame America first” zealot in her younger days, but she moved back to the center, voted for the Iraq War and you’d think that with Bill advising her, she’d be more politically attuned. Is it just fear that other embassy workers are going to get killed if she didn’t do this? I don’t get it.

She may not have been directed by Obama, personally, but she probably got direction from someone in a decision-making position in the WH to issue the apologies.

Obama’s Statement on the Muslim attacks on American missions

To all my Muslim friends. Peace be unto you in the name of Mohammed, blessed be his name.

If you MUST kill Americans, please try to refrain from hacking their bodies to pieces as it makes them difficult to identify.

Thank you.

Statement from Mitt Romney

American Embassies are AMERICAN SOIL. If you attack another American Embassy, unlike in Cairo where you morons violated our territory and destroyed property and where the Marine sentries were ordered by the Muslim friendly Obama administration to STAND DOWN, our security forces will FIRE FOR EFFECT. If necessary, I will dispatch carrier based air cover and additional ground forces to protect our people and remove them from your clutches.

The Marine Hymn contains the line “…to the shores of Tripoli.” If you wish to continue your insane tribal and sectarian madness, we will be back just long enough to bring out every American citizen then leave you to your national insanity until you’re all dead.

[Unam Sanctam]

Yes, Bill Maher. Is the Obama Administration now going to criticize him for “abuse” of free speech?

[plain talk]

My take is she was offering the savages some “trinkets” hoping they calm down and go away. They want the matter to blow over so they can move on to a better distraction from the economy than this.

“The U.S. deplores any intentional effort to denigrate the religious beliefs of others,” Clinton said. “Our commitment to religious tolerance goes back to the very beginning of our nation,”... but we also want to remind American voters not to support Romney because that guy’s a Mormon and we all know how crazy dangerous they are.

[sickoflibs]

RE :”So they are saying that if someone makes a controversial movie terrorists don’t like, then murder is justified? These people are sick.”

Well in the case of a Muslim or another oppressed minority it is we can see,

I didnt see them saying that in the Zimmerman Martin case. Obama said that Martin was like the son he always wanted.

[Scotswife]

how would they manage to do that?
I’m so confused....

I don’t doubt they’ll try, but really - how do you spin this into being Romney’s fault?

[SaraJohnson]

“The U.S. deplores any intentional effort to denigrate the religious beliefs of others,”

---

She deplores denigrating the religious beliefs of others?Sure. Liar. Hate is a DNC election strategy. They also call it “health care.”

[Texas Eagle]

This administration is starting to look like a Monty Python skit.

We apologize for apologizing for the apology.

The only part missing is, "Those responsible for apologizing for apologizing for the apology have been sacked."

[B.O. Plenty]

Be cool everybody.

We may be witnessing the destruction of the Obama administration.

It will be telling and interesting to see the response of the Obama regime.

If Obama and Clinton had any honor, dignity or integrity, they would resign today for all the destruction and misery they have imposed on our Country.

We already know their mindset since their first response was to condemn US for "insulting mohammed"..

Pay attention Pres Zer0 & Ms Clinton:

..mohammad cannot be insulted, he himself is insulting to the world.

ANOTHER HUMA LINK TO MUSLIM BROTHERHOOD Hillary's top aide was executive board member of front group

[utahagen]

If HRC does want to run in 2016, her first order of business is to screw Obama’s chances of getting reelected, which is what she is deliberately doing by undercutting the WH’s disavowal of the initial US State Dept response to the Muslim attack on our embassy. By the time HRC runs in 2016, her actions in this situation will have little effect on millions of dopey voters.

HRC knows EXACTLY what she is doing, as does Bill Clinton, who seems to be campaigning for Obama, but isn't. They are both undermining Obama, about which I am very pleased.

[chris37]

Our politicans are useless jokes.

The smartest woman in the world is a blithering moron, but I guess she seems smart when viewed through the eyes of the staggering idiots of America.

We are so ****ed.

Meanwhile, Obama “doesn’t have the time” to meet with Netanyahu.
