Mom Of Slain Former SEAL Killed In Libya Lashes Out At Romney

http://www.kpbs.org/news/2012/oct/10/mom-slain-former-seal-killed-libya-romney-doherty/

"...Mitt Romney got emotional on the campaign trail Tuesday when he described a chance meeting with former Navy SEAL Glen Doherty at a Christmas Party in La Jolla several years ago. Doherty was one of two former SEALs killed in the Libya embassy attack on September 11. ..."

(...)

"...Doherty's mother Barbara, however, wasn't so charmed by the story. She told Boston television station WHDH-TV:

"I don't trust Romney. He shouldn't make my son's death part of his political agenda. It's wrong to use these brave young men, who wanted freedom for all, to degrade Obama." ..."


The Romney campaign has issued an updated statement: "Curses, foiled again!"

that Rmoney was a fool who introduced himself 3 or 4 times within minutes of each other without realizing he had already introduced himself. Rmoney had no clue who this guy was from Adam.

maybe Romney campaign will just ignore it, and keep on telling the story. I wouldn't put it past them.

Military personnel are only fodder for rethuglicans. Rich old men create wars so they can become wealthier by sending young members of the lower classes off to fight and die in the name of capitalism.
