Video at link...Obama deputy campaign manager Stephanie Cutter said Thursday that the “entire reason” the terrorist attack at the U.S. Consulate in Benghazi that killed four Americans has “become the political topic it is” is because Mitt Romney and Paul Ryan talk about the attack.

STEPHANIE CUTTER: In terms of the politicization of this — you know, we are here at a debate, and I hope we get to talk about the debate — but the entire reason this has become the political topic it is, is because of Mitt Romney and Paul Ryan. It’s a big part of their stump speech. And it’s reckless and irresponsible what they’re doing.

BROOKE BALDWIN: But, Stephanie, this is national security. As we witnessed this revolution last year, we covered it–

Ya know, I think I prefer a president who “has no plans of his own” to one with plans to decimate business and sink the economy.

When your ambassador gets murdered, that’s an issue. For you lib lurkers out there this is a real issue. Not an artificial issue that only applies to a small percentage of the population, not an “issue” only in the minds of the talking heads and manipulators... An ambassador represents the Country. Murdering an ambassador is tantamount to a declaration of war.

So do I.

Cutter needs to tell that to the families of those brave Americans who died.

Cutter is trash.

Stephanie is a bigger idiot than I imagined.

Exactly my response. I never realized she was that stupid.

This is disgusting. She’s saying that the Ambassador’s assassination along with 3 other Americans wouldn’t be a big deal if it weren’t for Republicans talking about it? HOW CAN SHE SAY THAT WITH A STRAIGHT FACE?

LMAO. Go Stillers!!!

No one died during Watergate.

A-M-A-Z-I-N-G... only an issue because of Mitt Romney.

Maybe Mitt should continue to focus on Budgets, Jobs, Spending, the Debt, National Security, etc. ... perhaps then the “O-Administration” will focus on the REAL important issues that we are looking for solutions rather than Birth control, the DREAM act, their opposition to Voter ID, and every other Obama topic that is out in left field...

How far over the shark did she jump, Joe?

Paul, she jumped so high that the shark looks the size of a guppy.

I always seem to miss out on all the fun.

I am seething at these despicable, anti-American trashmongers. If Romney pulls this out, he had better go to DC with a nuclear bomb and decimate every last vestige of this filthy communist regime.

[jazusamo]

Carney and Cutter would make quite a team, Tapper would have his hands full. :-)

She wants to be Debbie Wasserman-Schultz when she grows up.

She's almost there now. LOL!

ROFL

Someone ought to clue this one in. It’s about the assasination of a US official. It’s about a terrorist attack on US soil..... Uhhh - like our embassy was burned to the ground and an al qaeda flag raised? What planet is this stupid bi#%ch living on.

[Obama_Is_Sabotaging_America]

I’m surprised she didn’t say ‘The Republicans cut funding for the Ambassador’s security so we relocated him from Tripoli to Benghazi to be slaughtered so we could blame them!’.
