Hey, look who hates this photo: Sarah Palin, Glenn Beck’s website, Bill O’Reilly and Fox News.
SEAL Mother: Romney Using Son’s Death for Political Advantage
I don’t trust Romney. He shouldn’t make my son’s death part of his political agenda. It’s wrong to use these brave young men, who wanted freedom for all, to degrade Obama.
— Barbara Doherty, the mother of a Navy SEAL killed in the attack on a U.S. consulate in Libya, told WHDH-TV that she thought Mitt Romney was using her son’s death for political advantage.
