So, I wonder if it was a GOPer that made that film to incite the protests. Did Romney know about it?

[Tx4obama]

Seems to me like like this was a plan/strategy to affect the election,
and could it be possible that Romney knew about it?

The man that raised the money and made the film was using a fake name - sounds like something a GOP PAC would do.

Earlier in the day yesterday Romney said in his September 11th speech that "he couldn't say that America is safer now".

Then last night Romney jumped the gun with the statement he released.

Then this morning during and after his press conference Romney was smiling a lot.

It just all seems very strange to me.

1. Someone who goes by the name of...James O'Keefe?

[nc4bo]

2. Absolutely nothing would surprise me at this point. Million or is it billionairre said he'd buy

an election, shady money zipping all around the GOP's machine, voter suppression akin to a poll tax or Jim Crow, the warmongering, the race baiting.....

It would not surprise me.

[Firebrand Gary]

3. Tx, I agree. This is all very smelly...

I just posted in another thread that I hope the CIA and the FBI are getting involved. The way that this whole thing apparently rolled out in Egypt and Libya? Coincidence? I think NOT! That video was all but unheard of here in the states until yesterday. Yet it had clearly been distributed and condemned in those two countries? Really?

The film itself is surrounded by a mass misinformation campaign. Actors being told the film was named "Desert warriors", unaware of the films intent or edited portrayal. The creator is MIA, but has multiple known alias's and identities. The film apparently cost 5 Million dollars all allegedly raised from Israeli's whom identities that we are not allowed to know.

4. There certainly is a lot of wondering going on. By me also.

We can hope that the questioning wil be answered. Surelt thre are plenty of people working toward that end as of now. This country has lots of enemies and it looks like some of them are of the conservtive stripe.

[HopeHoops]

5. He doesn't know whether to wipe his ass or his dinky after taking a shit. Why would he know that?

[DrewFlorida]

6. Florida Pastor Terry Jones, best know for burning a copy of the Koran has been promoting the movie!

7. He is a small fish. Only promoting it - but not the brains or money behind it. n/t

[cthulu2016]

8. If you want a conspiracy Mitt has to control Al Nas TV programming in Cairo.

If he does then we've got a good conspiracy.

If he doesn't, there was no reason to think the movie would have ever done anything.

[seabeyond]

9. ya know. the way he jumped on it. the smile walking away... what we are learning about the people

involved making the film.

[jillan]

10. I thought the same thing. He can't beat the President on the economy, or business - so what is left

Foreign Policy. Mitt has been wanting to point fingers at President Obama on foreign policy, and now he had a chance.

But he stepped in that too

[spanone]

11. the bu$h* years made me awfully cynical....but this is very strange to me

[kestrel91316]

12. Follow the money...........I smell a Koch or two........

[Control-Z]

13. What I have noticed is

romney's first statements (last night) seemed to be about something that hadn't yet happened. The escalation. The killings. Wasn't it just barely a protest when he started criticizing something that would come hours later? How did he know?

[hifiguy]

14. The more I read and think about this, the more convinced I am

that it is some kind of Rove and/or Adelson ratfuck. Nothing about it makes any sense whatsoever outside of a backstory suh as that. A decent investigative journalist could really make their bones digging in to this.

[reformist2]

15. I hope the actors can remember and help track down the director/producers.

Also, what facilities did they use/rent out when they filmed this? Surely there is some warehouse owner somewhere who signed the lease? These are the keys to unlocking this mystery.

[Hell Hath No Fury]

16. Well, it IS almost October --

SURPRISE!

I want to see where this leads -- it's starting to stink.

[Proles]

17. I'm not one who usually falls for conspiracy theories, but this is one

which I can actually buy.

It's a simple enough plan to execute. What really helps to make this seem more true is Romney's very quick decision to capitulate on this. It's like he couldn't way to throw a punch at Obama.

[Raine]

18. Not the GOP but the neo-cons that are part of the GOP. I have no doubt about it that this was

their money (Kock roaches etc) in an effort to propel Rmoney into the Whitehouse. Of course they had overlooked his inherant stupidity with the tendancy to shoot off at the mouth.

[Joe Shlabotnik]

19. A wealthy neo-con(s) behind it wouldn't surprise me,

but it makes more sense for Rmoney to have not known about it. He can't he even lie convincingly, so it would have been to his advantage to keep him in the dark about it. Rmoney is just a puppet.

[Snarkoleptic]

20. Mebbe it was Shelly Adelson?

He's got the drive and money to make a completely untraceable hush hush video built to look cheaply produced.
Pissing off Muslims would likely make him feel like some sort of grand puppet-master and also serve up red meat for neocons.
If so, he failed.

[lonestarnot]

21. I think he is a winger who has thrown in with the Bibi Netanyahooooo cowboyers.

Wouldn't know the front end of a horse, but he sure does know a hidey hole.
