SIDNEY, Ohio (AP) -- The mother of a former Navy SEAL killed in Libya has called on Mitt Romney to stop talking about her son during his political campaign.
A spokesman for the Republican presidential candidate says Romney will respect her wishes.

I had no idea that Cindy Sheehan had a sister.
This woman is an idiot. Why doesn’t she call out THE PRESIDENT for his lies about how her son died?
Romney is handling what really is a blatant politicization of the situation and ugly use of this poor woman by the disgusting letwing media with class.
Shame on her for disrespecting her son’s memory in this small-minded way. Kudos to the widow in Oklahoma who appreciated Romney’s mention of her hero husband.
This is the same woman who said that Obama was right in calling her son a “Bump in the road.” I dont know if its grief talking or what but this woman has issues if she can refer to her own son that way
Politics make diseased bedfellows.
give the woman a break I say.
she is in grief and to hear her son’s name over and over in this situation is probably very painful.
She is dealing with her grief the best way she can. I don’t think I could even function with what she has had to endure.
Who does this woman choose to attack?
The liberal mind is a twisted, sick thing.
And CTW asked Obama to stop using Big Bird. The difference is that Romney will respect the family’s wishes while Obama has ignored CTW.
I guess when I vote for Scott Brown I will be offsetting her vote.
I do have some empathy for not wanting my son’s death to become a part of any campaign. I am speaking simply as a parent.
Obama kills her son by denying repeated requests for increased security, but she lashes out against Mitt?
I’m glad I heard the story. It was wonderful.
I agree with you. You think you know how you will handle grief but until it happens to you...you just never know.
She is going to have to live with the fact that it could have been prevented by the State Department but they refused to provide the safety.
Shame on her for exploiting he son that gave his life for the freedom of real Americans and instead shills for the Anti American Obama who her son hated.
The dhimmocraps got to her and made her an offer she could not refuse.
What mother accepts the President’s love over the pain of the death of her child?
Just like Joe Septic
While I agree... regardless of the situation, I wouldn’t defend the guy who refused to help her son LIVE.
