John Kerry: 'Exactly the wrong time to throw political punches'
By ALEXANDER BURNS | 9/12/12 11:15 AM EDT
The Senate Foreign Relations Committee chairman, last seen tearing into Mitt Romney at the Democratic convention in Charlotte, issues a statement on the attacks on Libya and Egypt including a gentler rebuke of the GOP nominee:
The deaths of Ambassador Stevens and his team are heartbreaking. It's easy for a lot of people to forget that our diplomats are on the frontlines of the world's most dangerous places and they're there trying to make the world safer at great risk to themselves and their families. Chris Stevens was all that and more. He was a foreign service professional down to his toes, a guy who had served on the Foreign Relations Committee and embraced tough odds and tough assignments overseas. He had the guts and grit to serve as our envoy during the rebellion, and his presence there reminded Libyans that America stood with them for freedom in the face of violence. He was continuing that noble work as ambassador with enormous skill. He was an important part of the work we are doing in Libya, and we will not let this deplorable violence turn back the progress he helped make possible.
The violence in Cairo and Benghazi is unacceptable and unjustifiable. The stupidity of one filmmaker, no matter how offensive, is not now, and never, a rationale for violence. A despicable act like this hurts us all — Americans and peaceful people who aspire to build their own democracy.

The "stupidity of the filmmaker" is the Democrat meme, folks, and this one can be easily knocked out of the park. Like the Embassy statement yesterday (which was no mistake), Lurch here is apologizing for our freedom of speech.
I don’t think the Muslims fear Obama. In his autobiography, DREAMS FROM MY FATHER, Obama wrote: “I will stand with the Muslims should the political winds shift in an ugly direction†IF anyone is responsible for this attack, you only have to look at the weakness of this president and his administration. John Kerry is a perfect fit for the Obama administration...arrogant, deceitful, and a money chasing gigolo!
So when is the ‘right time’ John F’n Kerry? Just because you and Obama are wuzzies when it comes to protecting this country is no reason for anyone to SHUT UP when you are f’ning up or because you say so!
These fools in this administration stirred up, unleashed, led, the Arab Spring. Their chickens are coming home to roost. How many will die? I suspect it will be Biblical.
what was kerry doing during the carter years?
what was kerry doing during any republican military operation?
Well that LOSER called Obama for making a situation in the Middle East go from bad to worse in the last day and half.
So it is Obama’s fault. How do you like the “Arab spring now?”
Frankly it is your opinon, not mine.
Mitt did the RIGHT THING. He had BETTER LEADERSHIP than the LOSER in the White House with his comments/speech.
Last, a bit of advice. DO NOT EVER POST TO ME AGAIN!
