Your issue is trying to use respond.js with CSS stylesheets that are on external domains. Respond.js will fix media queries for IE6-IE8.

Respond.js works by requesting a pristine copy of your CSS via AJAX, so if you host your stylesheets on a CDN (or a subdomain), you'll need to upload a proxy page to enable cross-domain communication.

See cross-domain/example.html for a demo:

Upload cross-domain/respond-proxy.html to your external domain
Upload cross-domain/respond.proxy.gif to your origin domain
Reference the file(s) via  element(s):

If you are having problems with the cross-domain setup, make sure respond-proxy.html does not have a query string appended to it.
