Honestly, the same basic political strategy was used in 2008 by McCain and Fox News when he attacked Obama over not "responding" (in this case commenting) on Russia's attack on Georgia (the context of the political attack is different, but the basic attack is the same). Politicians simply have the habit of villainizing anyone and everyone at any given moment no matter the circumstances.
Sadly, unlike McCain who received some traction for his comments, Romney is seeing nothing but dissonance even from his own party. The fact that he is doubling down on his comments just goes to show how ill-suited the man is for politics.
