Is the Romney team trying to provoke violence against Americans in the middle east and beyond?

No, that's not the name of the article. It is what Tomasky asks in it.

Mitt Romney’s Last-Ditch Strategy: Inflame the Base

by Michael Tomasky Sep 16, 2012 4:45 AM EDT


They keep piling on. You’d think Mitt Romney and team would have stopped with the foreign-policy attacks— if not because of the political costs, then at least because real, living Americans are now under very serious threat in a number of Middle Eastern cities. But no. Instead they keep at it, with Paul Ryan and old “Blackjack” Bennett pressing ever onward at the Values Voter Summit on Friday. Do they think they’re “winning” this? The longer they keep at this, the more they’re heading into dangerous territory indeed, because the only way they can win this argument is for something horrible to happen overseas, which will set them up to say we told you so.

1. Does eating beets make your pee red?

I'm starting to think those two things are related somehow.

The answer is yes, but maybe indirectly so. The religious right's vision of their apocalyptic countdown gets updated every now and then, but no matter what happens, any political event, in their view, moves us another minute closer to midnight.
 
Like the guy who goes whacko and gets all his guns taken away because he was freaked out over the idea someone was going to take all his guns away, these people's obsession with Armageddon inexorable drives them to do things which spawn events that fulfil their own execrable prophecies.
 
They need to understand that if someone dies of fright there is a monster under their bed, it is a testament to the pathology of their fear, and not proof that the monster is real.

Try saying that about Iran and see what happens.

2. I don't think rMoney is trying to move us toward Armageddon

but I do think he's trying to 1) appeal to those who believe that tripe (the repuke base) and make the case that President Obama is weak on foreign policy and endangering the American people.
 
I hate him.

Um-m-m...

...if you have a "1)" shouldn't you at least have a "2)"?

Liberal thinking is a two-legged stool and magical thinking is one of the legs, the other is a combination of self-loating and misanthropy.  To understand it, you would have to be able to sit on that stool while juggling two elephants, an anvil and a fragmentation grenade, sans pin.

To continue SSB's line of thought here . . . If they say we are winning, they can justify anything to stop us, including murder.

Here is the truth Cali...the Incompetent-in-Chief has no idea what to do with a bunch of murderous barbarians,hell given where he is from he is not much removed from one himself.
He not only ignores warnings he passes on even hearing them much of the time.
It is a continuation of him voting present in the Senate.

He is useless and this violence will rage as long as he is President because they know that nothing will be done to stop it.

To be fair, her entire post is a huge pile of number 2.
