A forum I frequent (where Sean Smith, killed in Benghazi, was a moderator) is ENRAGED at Romney.

[Mayberry Machiavelli]

It's personal because many knew this man in real life but most of us through the online world (he was an outstanding poster and moderator, there was a little piece on him at the end of the Ed Schultz show tonight), Romney's attempt to wave his bloody shirt in the cause of his own benighted candidacy is offensive on a deeply personal level.

Romney's pitiful efforts since yesterday have spurred tons of donations to Obama from members as well as stimulating a lot of indifferent folks who were going to go third party or sit things out to commit to voting for Obama and Biden.

I can't expect this type of thing would happen everywhere because it's a uniquely personal thing at SomethingAwful forums. But overnight the mood there has gone from pleasant bemusement at Romney's pitiful campaign to real anger.

1. Pres. Obama appeared to be furious as well

in his interview.

[Cha]

5. Doesn't bode well for

Romney at the debates..where he will no doubt bring the sociopathic, tone deaf monolugue that he's been spewing at all the rallies & pressers.

[MADem]

2. RMoney is just tone deaf AND stupid AND craven and a blatant self-aggrandizer.

If there is any good thing to come out of this horrible tragedy, it's that his mask has come off to reveal the mendacious smirk beneath.

3. I'm glad the SA folks are holding a fundraiser

...for Sean Smith.

I'm sorry your friend is gone.

[Cleita]

4. It's too bad that terrible, stupid and heartless blunder on Romney's part had to

be the result of tragedy. I hope everybody that knew him and the other victims have wakes at the forums they were part of. It will help a lot towards healing both for the real life friends and the internet buddies. RIP

[Cha]

6. I'm sorry about your cyberbuddy, Sean Smith, Mayberry.

I've seen comments for so long...asking if Romeny could sink any lower regarding a lot of his idiot remarks. The answer is, of course, that mitt's a bottomless pit of toxic radio active sewage.

Romney is his own worst enemy.. He Demonizes himself, Mrs Romney.

7. One thing I would hope ALL voters would consider ...

If Romney is this much of an asshole BEFORE the election,
what would he be like if he won the Presidency?

9. +1000

8. I am sorry that Sean Smith's death was used in such a way. nt

10. When Shitt Fumery loses the election (and I hope to God he does), I don't want it to stop there

I'd like to see the IRS open an investigation after the possibility of allegations of political retaliation would become moot. I want to know how the hell he accumulated $100 million in an IRA for starters. I want to know if what Harry Reid was told could possibly be, and that a candidate for the US Presidency has avoided paying taxes. I hope we never again see the stealth and obfuscation in a political campaign like we've seen in Romney's.

11. I heard they may make a permanant memorial to him in the Game Eve

in which he was a valued member/player

[Spitfire of ATJ]

12. "from pleasant bemusement at Romney's pitiful campaign to real anger"

Watch that build. I expect him to double down and include the incident in his standard stump speech.

Right Wing Radio and FOX "News" is claiming Mitt is right and the rest of the media is lying to protect Obama.

[nadinbrzezinski]

13. I did not realize you were a gamer

And Romney is adding to the groups he will annoy.

My condolensces for your very real loss.

[SIDURI]

14. I'm so very sorry for your loss

I can only hope that the online world joins the rest of us in getting out the vote and slams Romney with the most stunning defeat in modern history.

The Mittwit is a horrible soulless excuse for a man.

15. What a tragic loss...

So very, very sad.....

[calimary]

16. Hey both of you! Tnliberallee and SIDURI - Welcome to DU!

Glad you're here and don't you DARE get complacent!!! We need you to help us win this for Obama and keep our White House from being occupied by a bunch of ideological extremist wackadoodles!





Now get to work.
