Buzzfeed: Romney Silent As Woman Says Obama Should Be Tried For Treason

Zeke Miller, Buzzfeed staff

quote:

A woman in the audience expressed dismay that Obama was "operating outside the Constitution," then said Obama should be tried for treason for violating separation of powers.

"I do believe he should be tried for treason," she said to applause from the audience.

also, here's a quote of a quote:

“Today we saw Mitt Romney’s version of leadership: standing by silently as his chief surrogate attacked the President’s family at the event and another supporter alleged that the President should be tried for treason. Time after time in this campaign, Mitt Romney has had the opportunity to show that he has the fortitude to stand up to hateful and over-the-line rhetoric and time after time, he has failed to do so. If this is the ‘leadership’ he has shown on the campaign trail, what can the American people expect of him as commander-in-chief?”

Comment:

I'll post more on this as I have found that Obama too has failed to speak against "over the line rhetoric":

New Black Panthers Advocate Violence, Obama Silent  Yesterday, in a conference call, the New Black Panther Party, the militant arm of Obama’s socialism, called openly for violence. 

 This could be but one more example of projection that seems to be commonplace in this administration.

Update ( a short while later):

It looks like I may have made some moral equivalence between Romney and Obama.  Actually, what Obama has failed to do is far, far more serious than anything alleged of Romney.  There is actually violence being advocated, and actually violence done, and Obama has yet to condemn those who are inciting it.  Yet, they are criticizing the Romney campaign for failing to admonish an audience member for advocating a legal proceeding, which falls far, far short of advocating for violence.
