Jesus f-----g Christ. This is beyond disgusting.

Staying Classy
Josh Marshall
TPM

I guess this is what happens late in the tight presidential race. Ronna Romney is the ex-sister-in-law of Mitt Romney. She’s apparently remained close to the Romney family. She has a minor role in the Romney campaign in Florida and has recently appeared at campaign events in Michigan with her daughter.

Earlier this afternoon she posted these grotesque images of the mangled body of the late Ambassador Chris Stevens with the words “Obama killed him” surrounded by dripping blood.

Late Update: A few TPM Readers note — and I believe that they are right — that the creator the Stevens montage seemed not to realize or not to care that the picture on the right is of the late Libya dictator Gaddafi.

Latter Update: And she took it down.


Same link.

There is no depth too low for these cretins,

Just more proof that there is nothing that they won't stoop to in order to accomplish their ends. Don't think of the man's family, friends and colleagues who loved and cared about him, just steamroll ahead with the "end justifies the means" way of thinking. Further proof that these cretins just don't care about people at all....they really don't

...not of Stevens.

Is she (and the campaign she supports) just stupid or are they crediting the President with taking out Ghaddfi as well.

There appears to be no bottom to the cesspool in which these people swim.

I've been following politics since the early '60s --at all levels. The GOP effort this year has to be the most disgusting, vilest, sickening campaign I've ever seen.

There is a guy, who seems like a nice guy, running against the GOP cipher in our congressional race. She has no record to defend, so she's on the attack. The attack ads against her opponent, a doctor, are just disgusting for their lies and slander.

The congresswoman's sole contribution to society has been looking for a millionaire to marry -- she's on her third. Her first, Sonny Bono, was a joke of a congressman and he couldn't ski very well. So when he wiped out into a tree, she inherited his seat and the royalties from all his music. Then, she married another millionaire, but shortly dumped him to marry Connie Mack, an extreme right wing congressman from Florida.

She really doesn't live here any more, but jets in every once in a while to collect money and pretend to care.

She has nothing to run on. The only positive ad she's run is that her father fought in WW2 and how proud she is of him -- of course, then she voted against veterans. All of her other ads, including a few Citizens United gems, have been distortion about her opponent. He associates with terrorists, he hates Thanksgiving, and he was arrested. She conveniently neglected to mention that he was arrested as astudent while trying to protect an elderly man from police brutality. The charges were thrown out and the police had to pay $100,000 in reparations. And then the clincher - her opponent, she claims, takes his marching orders directly from Nancy Pelosi. The guy running against her is a doctor. Begged money and paid his way through med school, promising to return to the community, which he did. She claims he wants to cut health-care funds and throw people off of Medicare.

And the Fox-addled idiots believe her.

Stevens died of smoke inhalation (?). Don't think the body was traumatized.

words "Obama killed him" on a Facebook page when your name is ROMNEY is beyond disgusting. Does ANYONE in that family have an ounce of common sense or good judgement? Because we know Mitt certainly does not.
