But what makes you think that Dems wouldn't have reacted the same way Romney did, had it been the presidential election year.Obviously I can't "know," but I can look for a recent, analogous situation, where militant Muslims were rioting and burning embassies, and the President of the United States made statements that were full of praise for Islam and condemnation of the abuse of free speech, and I can look at the reactions from the time. I don't see how that is invalid.
