The Politics (Ugh, Yes, the Politics) of the Attacks on the US Diplomatic Posts in Benghazi and Cairo - ABC News

Before news spread that four Americans had been killed in Benghazi, Romney yesterday issued a statement saying in part: "It's disgraceful that the Obama administration's first response was not to condemn attacks on our diplomatic missions, but to sympathize with those who waged the attacks."

This is an attack that does not stand up to simple chronology.

Asked what Romney was referring to, his campaign Tuesday pointed to a statement from the US Embassy in Cairo issued a statement "condemn(ing) the continuing efforts by misguided individuals to hurt the religious feelings of Muslims" - referring to the anti-Muslim movie allegedly inflaming the demonstrators, rioters, and attackers - but that statement was issued before the attacks on the diplomatic missions.​

You can spam the thread with the same post over and over again, but it neither creates a counter argument nor refutes mine. So the question is: what's the point in wasting time?

"Rightfully" is certainly debatable.

"Rightfully" does not refer to "rights". "Rightfully" refers to correctness. You have a RIGHT to an opinion, but saying "rightfully disgusted" would mean "being justified in being disgusted". Having a right and having a justification are not the same thing.

Hence, your original statement is very much debatable.

I don't think so. Just because people have the right to think what they want, doesn't mean everything they think is right. You can think Obama was born in Kenya, but you can't "rightfully" think that.

I disagree its not debateable...If you say something to me and I can rightfully think its disgusting even if you didnt intend it that way...were getting into semantics here tess....but the bottom line is if someone believes what romeny said is disgusting they can rightfully think that....and you can rightfully believe its not....there is no right or wrong here...he said it...its a matter of what each individual thinks about what he said

Again there is no right or wrong here....romney in fact said it...and each individual has a RIGHT to percieve what he said based on what they believe.....

Correct. But that's not what "rightfully" means in that case. You have every right to perceive what you want, but that doesn't mean that belief is justified.

We're going in circles. Yes you have a right to that opinion. It doesn't make your opinion justified which is what the word "rightfully" usually means. Opinions can be right or wrong.

Yes it can. Now I'm not saying its wrong or right in this particular case, but it can be. If your opinion is based on faulty logic, which is very possible, then it can be wrong. And I don't know why you keep saying you have a right to have the opinion, as no one is arguing otherwise.
