Debra Saunders: The media, not Romney, jumped the gun

They don't fear us, and they don't respect us. That's the only message you can take away from an Egyptian mob's attack on the U.S. Embassy in Cairo during which rioters scaled embassy walls and tore down the American flag on the anniversary of the 9/11 attacks. President Barack Obama helped ease out Egyptian President Hosni Mubarak – a dictator, yes, but also an ally – to facilitate the Arab Spring, and this is the thanks America gets.

Sadly, a separate assault on the U.S. Consulate in Benghazi, Libya, that took the life of Ambassador Christopher Stevens and three other diplomatic staffers presents a different lesson. Despite ample U.S. military assistance, Libya's civil war isn't over. Stevens' brave support of Libyans' efforts to overthrow strongman Moammar Gadhafi likely made him a target...

No one controls Pastor Terry Jones or the maker of that video. That's not how our country works.

I'm a little tired of the MSM attack on Romney.

He said just what he should have said... he re iterated it for the idiots who wanted him to mealy mouth about it once they let him know THEY didn't like it.

Tough!!

It's called POLITICS. The guy is running for President, he was SUPPOSED to make a statement and if YOU didn't like it, too bad!

I think Mitt could not have been more clear and correct!

AND every time he faces down the MSM idiots, I like him even MORE!

The media, not Romney, jumped the gun

Romney could use some guidance from Newt. Newt seemed to be able to throw their crap right back at them. Romney can’t get past defense.

Somehow Romney has got to find a way to put this group of jackals in their place.
