RNC Chair Reince Priebus falsely accuses President of Sympathizing with Attack and Libyan killing of American.

Washington Post blogger Rachel Weiner posted this story- RNC Chair: Obama ‘sympathizes with attackers’

WP: In a tweet, Republican National Committee Chairman Reince Priebus suggested not only that the Obama administration had responded to the attacks in Egypt and Libya with sympathy  – as Republican presidential candidate Mitt Romney argued – but that President Obama himself personally sympathizes with the attackers.

That would be a baseless lie, and an irresponsible act that should result in Priebus’ firing. But since it reflects the current right wings fear of the "other," nothing will happen:

Both accusations appear to be based on a statement from the Cairo embassy, released before the attacks, which condemned “the continuing efforts by misguided individuals to hurt the religious feelings of Muslims.” (Protesters were spurred by clips of an anti-Muslim film.)

The media, Fox News in particular, is now focusing in a long past drone attack, and the anniversary of 9/11 for the unrest, although originally, the story blamed the right wing film.

WP: The director of a controversial anti-Islam film has gone into hiding, according to reports, fearing reprisals over a work that has sparked violence in Egypt and has been linked to events in Libya that led to the deaths of four Americans.

“Innocence of Muslims,” was produced and directed by an Israeli-American, Sam Bacile, a California real-estate developer who called Islam “a cancer,” in an interview. Mr. Bacile told The Journal that he raised $5 million from about 100 Jewish donors and shot the two-hour movie in California last year. A  14-minute trailer for the English-language film,  which was posted on YouTube in July, attracted little attention until last week, when a version dubbed into Arabic was posted on the same YouTube channel and then copied and viewed tens of thousands of times more …
