CALL FOR ACTION for DU members to destroy Romney over "duplicating" Iran Hostage Crisis!

[Democratopia]

Thank you Segami who posted the Youtube video of Romney who is speaking at a fundraising dinner, where one guest asks how he could "duplicate the scenario of the Iran Hostage crisis."

Never does Romney say that it is a bad idea to try to duplicate the crisis, in which 52 Americans were held hostage for 444 days and eight US servicemen died. Instead of dismissing the idea of "duplicating" the crisis, Romney says he "appreciates the idea" and if he were president he would "work to take advantage of the opportunity." This is the man who could be our next president, a man who does not argue against the idea of repeating an event that cost American lives and damaged the strength of America. In fact, he gleefully embraces the idea.



Here is a link to Segami's thread and the video:

That video has had only a few thousand views. This is a story that could explode Romney's credibility before the next debate, that will focus on foreign affairs. It is a story that could be extremely damaging to his chances of winning the election. I suggest that we need to get this out to the public and the media to turn it into a major story that will damage Romney.

Please send it to your friends and ask them to pass it on, and please put it on Facebook, if you can. If enough of us join in, this video could go viral.

But we need to do more. We need to make the media aware of the video as well, and let them see there is interest in this story. The more of us who help, the more chance we have of getting news editors to run this story.

Here are some links to contact information for media outlets to urge them to run this story:

5. Using your information as a guide, I shortened it as much as I could:

On the following YouTube video segment, Mitt Romney is asked by one guest at the "47%" fundraiser how Romney could "duplicate the scenario of the Iran hostage crisis", in which 52 Americans were held hostage for 444 days and eight U.S. servicemen died.

Instead of dismissing the suggestion as out of the question, Romney says he "appreciates the idea" and if he were president he would "work to take advantage of the opportunity."

Mitt Romney could be our next president and voters are entitled to know about his candid, behind-closed-doors view of an event that Americans would certainly not want repeated -- particularly, by design and drawn out for political advantage.

Please air this segment on your news broadcast:

Thank you.
