MOUNT VERNON, Ohio — At a town hall here Wednesday, Mitt Romney re-told a story he first revealed earlier this week about meeting one of the Navy SEALs who would later be killed in the attacks on the Benghazi consulate.
Romney has used the account in recent days on the stump to demonstrate the courage of Americans, in particular the troops: Upon hearing that the consulate was under attack, Glenn Doherty, 42, headed toward the action to try to defend it.
It's a compelling story, offering a surprisingly personal link between the candidate and the tragedy in Libya — but it's one the SEAL's mother wants him to stop telling.
Wednesday morning, NBC's Boston affiliate reported that Doherty's mother thought Romney was taking advantage of her son's death.
"I don't trust Romney," Barbara Doherty told WHDH 7. "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."
The story posted on WHDH's website indicated that they had sought a response from the campaign, but didn't get one.
Asked whether Romney would continue to tell the story, a campaign aide told BuzzFeed he would not, now that he knew the mother's wishes.
Kevin Madden added, "Governor Romney was inspired by the memory of meeting Glen Doherty and shared his story and that memory. We respect the wishes of Mrs. Doherty though." Subscribe to *Elections 2012*

must be shocking to you to see a man of honor doing what right rather then the political approach taken by your failed president.

I get the impression that it would be ok if Obama used her son's name.

THE REAL TRUTH
The Grieving Widow Behind Romney's Personal Story
Jane Horton began crying on the other end of the phone when she learned that Mitt Romney had been using the story of her husband, Chris Horton, who was killed in Afghanistan, as a part of his stump speech.
"Wow," the 26-year-old said. "I had no idea.
"To be honest, I've been through a lot and I'm not a super emotional person but it brings me to tears," Horton said in an interview with ABC News, after being informed of her husband's newfound spot on the national stage. "Not that he's telling my story, but that he's telling my husband's story, it means the world to me.
"One of the last things my husband said to me before he was killed, when I would ask him, 'Chris, what do you need over there? What can I send you?' he said, 'I need a new president,'" Horton recalled.

Doherty, 42,"Wow," the 26-year-old said
Mrs. Doherty is much older, wiser, from Massachusetts, and knows Willie-Mitt all too well. She nailed Mittens MO.
Wow!

check your watch.
rp is not going anywhere.
he will not be president.
mitts dne obama.
mitts will not be ronald reagan. he may be worse than geo boosh.
which will still be 500 time better for my country than one more week beyond 4yrs of an oily repulsive socialist corrupt brown shirt thuggish obamunist regime.
you'll support some loser and with that will just be "principled-in-your-mind" flotsam and jetsam that will matter not a wit come inauguration day in jan.
yet you are here like a reverse doppleganger version of grand island's constant "paultard" and running your own "mittard" game.
we get your point.
got it 3 months ago.
in my country the leader will be mitt or barack.....not baldwin or paul.
kinda like playing the hand that's dealt you as best as possible.
or choosing to fold and petulantly whine on and on and on...
in all honesty hondo you are coming across as hoping for mitts defeat.
point taken.
glaringly though i think i've not seen you ripping on barack much.
if so and you have occasionally ripped barack, it still stands that your mitt ripping towers over anything anti-barack.
ergo : you support barack....or you are the sorest loser on this site (if in fact you are a supporter of r/p.)

Oh, biotch, that moldy pile of camel shit was born 'degrated'. He also soaked your sons heroic deeds and accomplishments as his own, and you fking worry about Romney making your son a part of his political agenda, bimbo, puleeeeeze.
Must have been one fking large hunk of hush money payoff she got, because surely she can't be that g-damn stupid?

Took this years ago from Wesley Snipes movie.
I use it in trash talk when I'm playing hoops after using somebody.
And brought it here as an identifier of sorts specifically to rub tards faces in the fact that not all of us stay on their plantation.
