OMG Drudge has a pic of the body of someone being hoisted around by Libyans.

[dkf]

Is that the Ambassador?

Awful awful.

[tjdee]

1. Way to be inflammatory.

I guess we'll actually have a talk about foreign policy now, and that's exactly what Romney doesn't want.

[get the red out]

4. The right is just one big emoticon

Everything to produce rage and negate any kind of measured, intelligent response to anything.

I am starting to feel like the whole thing was engineered by the Neocons. I wonder if Cheney and Rove had a private showing of this film or even approved the script?

[flamingdem]

35. I think the OP should be deleted or the title changed, it just adds to disinformation

Esp. since this might be Libyans helping the Ambassador to get to the hospital

[onehandle]

2. Drudge is asking to receive a drone attack. nt

[get the red out]

3. Oh there's a solution

Drop a missile on whoever might be in the area, no matter who they are, guilty or innocent.

How Neocon can you get?

[bigtree]

5. how surprising

. . . to find the republican mouthpiece working to Tonkinize this conflict.

[Ikonoklast]

22. Along with his little worker bees.

Busy, busy, busy little bees.

[marmar]

6. OMG, somebody relies on Drudge as a legit source of information.

[DisgustipatedinCA]

7. No, only Republicans and tr.....oh, wait. n/t

[2ndAmForComputers]

17. Heh.

Truth.

Nov 7 is Schadenfreude Day.

[Mojorabbit]

29. It is all over facebook tonight

The teabaggers are enraged and statements like, "This is a declaration of War!" are being thrown around.

[Fawke Em]

8. Yes, it's Ambassador Chris Stephens

and the pictures came across Twitter just a few minutes ago, so it's not limited to Drudge.

[dkf]

9. Thanks for the info. I didn't want to go back there.

[Fawke Em]

10. I saw it either from the Daily Beast or HuffPo.

Can't find it again, now, but I just saw it about 15 minutes ago.

[JanMichael]

11. Huffpo

it's awful

[Fawke Em]

21. Just so you know... it was awful, but the people handling him

were Libyans who were trying to get him to the hospital. I read they carried him in their arms hoping he was just unconscious. Obviously, he wasn't. The pics were taken to show they were telling the truth. When you see them in succession, it makes sense.

[rustydog]

24. You are correct. and medical stafftried for 90 minutes to revive him

Libyans trying to save an American. Or, a group of human beings trying to save another human being in desperate need.

[Luminous Animal]

26. Yes. yes. yes. The OP is horrible right wing propaganda. Horrible.

[HappyMe]

12. Hillary Clinton just said

that Libyans stood and fought against the violent group. She also said that Libyans carried the Ambassador to the hospital.

[muriel_volestrangler]

15. There was a picture on the Brazilian 'Globo' site at least 2 hours ago

I saw it posted on another forum; though it's notable that they seem to have removed the article it was part of (I can do a Google image search for it and it finds it, and says the article title is about the US amabssador; but clicking on it brings up a completely unconnected article).

In the Globo picture, it looked like someone was propping him up to help him (it's here if you want to see it - http://www.politicsforum.org/forum/viewtopic.php?p=14056003#p14056003 - he looks hurt, but alive, and not too bloody). Looking at the Drudge site, theirs is different - a blurry photo someone carrying the ambassador over their shoulder. It could of course, still be someone helping him.

[nolabear]

20. Oh my god why did I click on that photo. Oh that poor man. And they were trying to help.

DAMN whomever is responsible and DAMN those who are trying to benefit from it. I am so sorry, and grateful to those in the photo who were clearly trying to help a dying man.

[Confusious]

28. Yea, he doesn't look good

His lips are purple.

[flamingdem]

34. Earlier I read that this was simply Libyans carrying him to the hospital

I don't want to look

[bigdarryl]

14. He's also posting a B/S Rasmussen poll saying THE OBAMA BOUNCE IS GONE!!!

[2ndAmForComputers]

16. Unsurprising browsing habit is unsurprising.

[eShirl]

18. OMG someone on DU is giving Drudge free publicity

[Fla Dem]

19. I don't care if it is Drudge, facebook or anywhere else, it's just not right.

I am sure Amb. Stevens has family; wife, children, sisters, brothers, a mom and dad. As painful as this is already for them, a gratuitous splashing of a picture of his dying minutes across the internet is just indecent and cruel.

[nadinbrzezinski]

32. Here is what they were doing from press reports

They were trying to get the Ambassador to medical help. He ended up in the Benghazi hospital where doctors worked the code for 90 minutes. Per news reports none of the attending knew he was the Ambassador.

Does this change this a tad?

Here, from the NY Post, which you and I might agree is a ad to the right

http://www.nypost.com/p/news/international/american_ambassador_others_killed_uvtJF2mvUd6CzlMsrh169K

Read the caption to the photo.

[Fla Dem]

39. Yes, I knew it was a picture of Libyans trying to help the Amb.

For that I'm am grateful that in his last minutes he knew compassion. I guess I'm just too sensitive. I just don't know what is accomplished in publishing a dying man's picture, which will be the last image of him his family and friends will see.

[LeftyMom]

23. You read Drudge?

[LeftyMom]

33. On this thread?

[Warpy]

30. yeah, until you realize they were taking him to the hospital

where he died about midnight. The photo is from the NY Post and is captioned that the people were aiding him, that he was unconscious at the time. http://www.nypost.com/p/news/international/american_ambassador_others_killed_uvtJF2mvUd6CzlMsrh169K

Terrorists don't take people to the hospital.

[Scootaloo]

31. "Awful, awful"

Yes, your posting drudge as a source and expecting others to whip up into a frothy outrage on the assumption that "those people" were mistreating Chris Stephens - "hoisting around" - is quite awful.

[dkf]

36. Oh for gods sake I was upset drudge was showing that pic and sickened to think of what happened.

I didn't even post a link.

That's a sick mind you have.

[Scootaloo]

38. Oh yes, I'm the one with the sick mind.

No, you were trying to mischaracterize the situation. That's why you used the phrase, "hoisting around." It's why Drudge is your source, rather than some of the sources given by other posters on this thread that explain what's going on. You started this thread half-cocked, trying to spark some outrage, and you failed with fucking flying colors.

Don't make it worse by trying to deflect your sorry attempt at trolling onto me.

[Tunkamerica]

37. Heard on NPR that he was being carried to the hospital by Libyans

that's where he ended up
