What has been the effect of the global Muslim tantrum on our impending presidential election?

Romney probably means more war over a wider area in the Muslim world.

If that strikes you as futile and a gross waste of treasure and blood, Obama is certainly the lesser evil of the two.

But the Muslim stampede since 9/11/12 has probably helped Romney even though polls say Americans are sick of the neocon wars and don't want more war because the stampede has made Americans angry.

They get angrier with every day that it continues in the headlines.

And because even Americans (and there are many, especially on the Christian right) who agree speech offensive to religion ought to be prohibited and punished are not happy to see an American president missing the moment when what he is supposed to do is stand up for his country.

No, the administration has not been apologizing.

But the administration's efforts to deflect Muslim wrath from them, from the government, from America, from the American people, and maybe even from Christians onto the schmuck who made that silly movie are a disgraceful spectacle with too much the look of terrified man in a crowd shouting at a gunman, "Hey! I didn't do it! Shoot him!"

Worse, we know that they know it was and is not really about the movie, either in Benghazi where what happened was an al-Qaeda attack or in Cairo where Muslims in a coordinated way chose the 11th anniversary of 9/11 to put on a mass demonstration of their hatred for America, or anywhere else in the wave of hate since.

Though their stupid, global arrogance in making their demands that we bow to Islam and abandon our tradition of free speech is real, and though the demands themselves are quite seriously meant, it is not and has not been all about that one little film for these Muslim masses.

What these outbursts have been saying to us and all the world is this.

“It’s September 11th, America. Many happy returns.”

And yet, despite all that, this disgraceful exercise in blame-shifting is what liberals want Obama to do, it seems, pretty much to a man.

Not just bloggers and pundits but “wise men” of the liberal establishment.

And that will hurt the president and the Democrats, and probably already has, despite the fact that Romney's foreign policy would doubtless be much stupider and certainly more bellicose than his and polls say, as I noted, that Americans are heartily sick of all that.

Romney told the truth.

For the swing voters it's more about emotion and "do they like the guy."

Obama has made them ashamed, at least of him if not of their country, and he continues to make them ashamed every day the administration continues its wave of “It wasn’t us! We didn’t do it!” propaganda addressed to the screaming masses of the Muslim world.

Anger and disgust at Muslim behavior combined with rejection of that shame will together drive people to vote for the guy who is not Obama.

And they will do that even though he is by far the greater evil, even in this matter of dealing with global, psychopathic Islam.

Update 9/22

In recent days there has been much in the news about crowds in Benghazi supportive of America demonstrating for us and against the killers of our ambassador.

Also, crowds have been attacking militias suspected of being involved and the people have been demanding the new government disband fundamentalist militias.

The government has arrested several people in connection with the embassy attack.

Meanwhile, in Egypt, the new government is seeking international warrants for the arrest of 9 Americans linked to the now infamous though boring You Tube video.
