After Romney's remarks, Barbara Doherty told Boston's WHDH 7News that the GOP nominee shouldn't invoke her son that way again.
"I don't trust Romney," she said. "He shouldn't make my son's death part of his political agenda. It's wrong to use these brave young men, who wanted freedom for all, to degrade Obama."
Romney has amplified his criticisms of Obama's foreign policy and defense record with a speech on Monday that fact-checkers and the Obama campaign said was rife with errors and policy reversals

Her son was helping to save 30some odd Americans in an ambush in addition to whatever his true job was in Libya. He was blown up. I am tryiing poorly to say that people need to cut this woman some slack.
O Lordy, Tillman was not fragged for being an atheist, if he was one. Silliest thing I have ever heard here.
Now the Taliban may have killed him for religious reasons but not American soldiers.
Fine. You’ve said it.
omg!! what a dumb lady.....sad.
Her son’s casket was used for a photo op by Obama while he tweeted about his sweatshirts for fundraising... now that is politicizing her son’s death.
Of course, it is Bush and Cheney’s fault for actually trying to defend the nation. Why do you think The Disaster has sent troops to Jordan’s border with Syria to interdict bio and chem weapons? Where do you think they came from?
I don’t believe you have a son who is a soldier at all. The soldiers LOVED Bush.
Just remember, if you choose not to vote for a Presidential candidate, or if you vote for a third party candidate or write-in, you may be dooming your children to another four years of Obama as their Commander-in-Chief.
I would respectfully disagree.
This is not incompetence.
This is willful.
This Administration is not stupid.
They have a plan to fundamentally transform this country, and they are executing it.
This is all going according to plan.
Your posts continue to degenerate, and your silly but hateful claim about Tillman being murdered by religious American soldiers takes the cake.
Exactly right. Why was he there if it could not be protected?
The Agenda is another subject. Fortunately, they are incompetent.
Sorry, I’m with Sarah Barracuda on this one. This “mother” is an embarrassment to her son’s memory. The Libyan Ambassador had requested many times additional security for the embassy days before the assault. Obozo failed, and this woman’s support for Obozo’s failure which CAUSED her own son’s murder is reprehensible.

It is obvious that you know NOTHING of American history. It is also obvious that you belong over at DU, not here at Free Republic.
There are truly some very ill people in the world.
I am sorry if I was offensive. I should have said nothing at all.
You have a right to your opinion, but I don’t agree with you.
Maybe you would be more comfortable among the folks at DU or Daily Kos or Huffington Post?
I have no intention of voting for Romney any more than I would ever vote for Obozo and for essentially identical reasons but Mrs. Doherty, an obvious left-wing stooge and activist should certainly take note of where her addled head is located. There are plenty of reasons to despise both Obozo and Romney but Romney's kind words regarding her deceased son are not among those reasons.
Sarah Barracuda apologized. I won't.
Mrs. Doherty got her reward: fifteen minutes of fleeting fame as a useful idiot for the left which will now be followed by a lifetime of deserved obscurity as her passion for Obozo remains unrequited. It is also entirely unremarkable and totally expected that Myth Romney, the Massachusetts mushball would grovel in the dirt lest he be seen as being principled. He won’t even defend himself.
I believe that IBTZ is shorthand for “In before the ZOT!”
