A Modest Proposal to Help Mitt Romney with his "Hang Obama" Gaffe

Oh ho ho boy did Mitt Romney step in it now! He wants to hang Barack Obama....from a tree....while wearing starched bed sheets. Yup, that's what he said!

Orwell.....I mean....Or, well, what I mean is I saw this Huffington Post story, and then I saw these tweets posted at Legal Insurrection, then I put 2 and 2 together and kept coming up with 5....which is how it felt...and 4 out of 5 public school teachers can't be wrong!

I'm not surprised by this at all, he hails from Massachusetts a state that gave us Barney Frank. That guy is so racist that when picking a minority status he decided he'd rather be gay.

So here's my modest proposal, lets just completely destroy the word "hang." By "lets" I mean "me." You don't even have to do anything. I plan on doing it singlehandedly by taking the following:

Ten
Up
Loose
Tight
Right
Left
Er
Ing
Out
In There
Gliding
Don't Leave Me

By my count that is 12 terms or parts of words/terms that use "hang" or "hanging" in it. I'm going to adopt 12 black children from Africa, and each of them are going to be named one of these 12 terms. Then, anytime anyone uses the "harmless" (but WE know better) slang they are associated with I'm going to make them regret they were ever born...because I'm going to tweet about it.

Am I overreacting to this? Um, no! I think Mitt Romney is under-reacting to his racist tendencies. Remember people, denial is the first sign you have a problem, and Mitt has only admitted (clearly) that he is sensitive to how people might perceive his problem.

Oh, by the way, don't worry about me actually getting 12 African kids, I've been searching for a long time for an excuse to wear take this shirt there...

See Mitt? There's a silver lining in every cloud!

Man, this post would give me Greek philosopher status if I were liberal. Alas, I'm not a card carrying member of the Pee Wee Herman "I know you are but what am I" wing of American politics.

Speaking at a dinner hosted by Americans for Prosperity, the former Massachusetts governor said, “Reagan came up with this great thing about the ‘misery index’ and he hung that around Jimmy Carter’s neck and that had a lot to do with Jimmy Carter losing.” He added, “Well, we’re going to have to hang the ‘Obama Misery Index’ around his neck.”

Romney went on to say, “I’ll tell you, the fact that you’ve got people in this country really squeezed, with gasoline getting so expensive, with commodities getting so expensive, families are having a hard time making ends meet. So, we’re going to have to talk about that, and housing foreclosures and bankruptcies and higher taxation. We’re going to hang him with that, so to speak, metaphorically.”

Mitt was only speaking metaphorically.

But the reaction speaks to why we must never have another black president. They are immune form having to address issues and solve problems.

Make that another liberal black President. A conservative black President wouldn't play the race card.

If anything, it might help Romney. I'd say about 80 percent of the public is fed up with the race card and hypersensitivity that has been fed to us for the past 45 years. The only ones who care about such a remark are the race hustlers, their followers and their promotors in the dominant media culture.

[The Looking Spoon]

I know what really happened. I was being sarcastic and attacking the way liberals are interpreting it.

As far as not having a black president goes, I agree with dfwgator that it’s not race that’s the problem, but ideology.

All Democrats are immune to accountability thanks to the MSM and pop culture.

"Another Romney tarbaby."

Um....no, I'm actually not.

This post isn't about defending Mitt, it's about attacking the left for crying racism. We've got to stick together on putting up with crap like that....no?

[NoLibZone]

I agree that race is not a problem until it precludes accountability.

And so far history shows us that race does in fact preclude accountability.

Google Eric Holders “ It would demonize my people.”

"Make that another liberal black President. A conservative black President wouldn't play the race card.

yup.

Nor should we have another liberal black A.G.

Not if it is Mitt Romney. Why would we want to defend another liberal?

[Vinnie]

That’s it !!

Romney should ignore the bad press and NEVER apologize. An admission of guilt.

And no, I’m not a Romney supporter, not by a long shot.(metaphorically speaking)
