This is what you call taking it too damn far.
From Talking Points Memo:
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.
You can see her Facebook page here.
Talking Points Memo saved a copy of what she did. My apologies for all of those who see this. Let me just say that what happened to Ambassador Stevens and others was a tragedy and the families need closure.
But this was the WRONG DAMN thing to do! I wish people wouldn’t politicize this issue and definitely wish Ronna Romney would have used some discernment and common sense before creating such a nasty picture:

It has been removed with an apology and in true Romney fashion she has flipped excuses. 1st) she apologized saying she was unaware of the “verbiage in the background” until her daughter told her to take it down. 2nd) The latest “Earlier today I thought I was responding to someone’s post and accidentally shared it on my site…I apologize”. Sure you did.
Given that excuse it’s amazing (not) that the Republican convention didn’t have the crowd shouting “flip, flop” this time. I wonder why. The also don’t whine about elitists any more. Hmm…
You’re talking about people whose only standard of behavior is what they want to do. It never occurs to them that they’re out of bounds until the blowback starts — they are not classy people.
