Romney's childish Obama attacks are soooo unpresidential. Romney is a foreign policy idiot.

Who is Sam Bacile? So far, the answer depends on who you ask and what you read.
Early reports after Tuesdays violence against American diplomatic posts in Egypt and Libya identified Bacile as the producer and director of an absurd anti-Muslim film blamed for inspiring the anger of the mobs.
But his biography remains sketchy at best. He has claimed to be a real estate developer, but nobody with his name has a real-estate license or appears in corporation records in California. He has been described as Israeli, but Israeli officials have not confirmed or denied that he is a citizen. He has also claimed to have raised millions for his film, but the results, a low-budget, offensive mess, seem to speak for themselves.
What is known is that in the first two days of July, someone with the YouTube username Sam Bacile uploaded two similar previews for a supposed full-length feature film called Innocence of Muslims. The same user uploaded an overdubbed version, apparently in Arabic, on Sept. 4.
Beyond the YouTube postings, essentially nothing about Baciles life can be publicly verified. Details reported by news outlets Tuesday and Wednesday morning were often in conflict with one another. And on Wednesday afternoon, The Atlantics Jeffrey Goldberg spoke with a self-described militant Christian activist named Steve Klein, who served as a consultant on the film, and who told Goldberg that the name Sam Bacile itself is a fake.
I dont know that much about him, Klein said. I met him, I spoke to him for an hour. Hes not Israeli, no. I can tell you this for sure, the State of Israel is not involved, Terry Jones (the radical Christian Quran-burning pastor) is not involved. His name is a pseudonym. All these Middle Eastern folks I work with have pseudonyms. I doubt hes Jewish. I would suspect this is a disinformation campaign.
Kleins comments to Goldberg contradict reports from the Associated Press and The Wall Street Journal, which both claimed to have spoken with Bacile on Tuesday.
This "Israeli Jew" should spend more time exposing the flaws of Israel and how it inflames the Middle East.
You're an anti-semitic PIG.. Say oink! Backwards FUCK. Democrats = the enemy of Israel
Liberals love to show how anti-religion they are when it involves a religion they feel safe with. They so boldly mock Christianity and tell themselves they are being 'edgy' and anti-authoritarian. They indulge in outright anti-Semitism in the guise of criticising Israel. But when it comes to Islam, they take one look at the rabid, violent mobs and suddenly they find great respect for the beliefs of others. Cowardly hypocrites.
