Video of Mitt Romney praising Hezbullah in 2007
At a 2007 campaign stop, former Massachusetts Governor Mitt Romney gratuitously praised Hezbullah. In fact, he wanted the US to follow Hezbullah's example.Let's go to the videotape (Hat Tip: Jack W).
Good grief....
More from Pam Geller here.
Romney sounds like Obama. What could go wrong?

Carl, both strong republican candidates are bad...
Romney with hizbollah, and i saw a picture of Gingrich holding hands and laughing in a very happy mood with Arafat...
i still think Santorum is the best candidate for Israel and the U.S
OMG. If this video is 2007, then that is just the year after Hezbullah spent a month chucking big rockets onto Israeli civilians in Israel's north. Some number of their (unguided) rockets also landed in Israel's national forest and burned down swaths of carefully tended trees. Israel has been out of Lebanon, the leech Hezbullah's host, since 2000! And, just a year after rockets fired onto Israeli civilians from civilian areas of Lebanon, this man is admiring them????
So this means that Romney, like so many on the Left, is disappearing the violence that Israel's neighbors are raining onto Israeli civilians. It does not exist in his mind as he looks at the ME. Or, if it does, Romney has compartmentalized it away from the view of the situation, in the bigotry of low expectations. He is a PRIME EXAMPLE OF WHY ISRAEL CANNOT VACATE THE SIGNED AGREEMENTS, such as Oslo, that require attacks on Israel to stop before Israel is obligated to go to the next step. I think Romney, if he is blind to the Hezbullah rockets, will pressure Israel to give up the rocket launching sites in the hills east of Jerusalem. Ugh.
I cannot see the video as I am posting from a firewall right now, but based upon the description given, Mitt Romney did not say Hizballah is a great organization. He rather said they are good at providing health services, which is true. And Hitler made the trains run on time. Essentially Romney is saying that if you want to fight jihad, you have to offer good health services. I don't buy that logic, but it is not an example of his support for Hizballah.
Here's the thing. Hizbullah did do these things. he wasn't praising hizbullah, he was showing how they succeeded in getting goodwill despite their violent natures and won the war for the heart and minds of lebanon by setting up those clinics. Either way he is still our best chance to knock obama out of office and he will have every jewish org. looking over his shoulder so i'm not too worried.
