The issue here is not what Romney said or when he said it, both of which were absloutley appropriate. The issue is that our Secretary of State and our President were not able to condemn the murder of our diplomat without throwing in an attack on the right of Americans to speak as the wish. In so doing they implicitly justified the killing. There is no moral equivalence between murder and a movie. Had they even viewed the film before they conceded that it was insulting to the delicate sensibilities of Salafist Muslims? How about defending free speach instead of attacking it or regretting it for crying out loud!

Correct.
And note to Freepers: BY ATTACKING OTHER REPUBLICANS, YOU ARE MAKING THE MEDIA COORDINATED DISTRACTION ATTACK WORK.
The media knows that Obama stepped in it and is deep doodoo, so they went into overdrive to attack Romney and isolate him. This article is pure agenda journalism.
Quit attacking Republicans. The people to condemn are:
a) the Islamic terrorists who killed a US ambassador, and
b) anyone who acts cravenly towards them (like the Cairo embassy in their statement)
