Romney goes birther: Makes joke about BC, makes clear his strategy of doubling down on whiteness

Salon ^ | August 24, 2012 | Joan Walsh, editor-at-large

The Romney’s were in Michigan.

[Washi]

But when did “birther” become “racist”.

Are you kidding?

Anything not completely complimentary to Obama is, has always been, and forever will be racist.

[FatherofFive]

The Left sees everything through the lense of their butthole.

[CatherineofAragon]

“Doubling down on whiteness”, huh? Even if that was the case, so what? For how long have blacks been doubling down on the color of their skin?

[Steven Tyler]

Hmm, Donald Trump on Sunday, Sheriff Joe (who has, in the past, been a Presidential candidate Elector) on Thursday.

I am starting to smell what the Rock is cooking!!!!

[Jacob Kell]

What did you expect? Salon is created and written by Communists and aimed at Communists.

Yes... Commerce Township. That is in "Oakland County"...

4 Counties went for Commrade Zero last time all blue, Macomb, Oakland, Washtenaw, and Wayne.

Rumor is Team Romney has Macomb, home of the "Reagan Democrats", IMHO he needs one more of the 4 to take or make Michigan a real horse race. Wayne? Forgetaboutit, that is Detwaa and the Burbs. Washtenaw? Univ of MI and all the liberal loons, Dingell's district, I ain't seeing it. But the other 2 heck ya....

Watch Michigan, it will be where the action is for 2012...

It should be obvious to any intelligent observer that nobama has some mental issues. The Repubs would be very smart to get an analysis from several mental health professionals. And then target hard, very hard.

After reading the article posted within this thread from an Obama insider, I think they Physc-Val should not but just on him but his team. Get in their "OODA" loop, he is weak, he is a puppet on the team, get them infighting and trying to exercise control and power. They would loose their "C3" and fall apart....

[Kenton]

"Look at me, I'm not like those other white people, I'm more... enlightened, less threatening to angry black people. Yeah, that's it.. Please don't hurt me, or at least hurt those other white devils first. NO, I'm NOT crazy. Not crazy."

I really, really hate people like this. Yeah, I know, it's one of my many character flaws.

Smug, self-loathing bitch.

[Kenton]

I think I’ll double down on my whiteness too. I’m gonna vote for the guy that looks like me without apologizing to anybody.

[penelopesire]

All of Obama’s sniveling media palace guards are coming out in mass...lol!!

Heads are exploding and much gnashing of teeth.

I LOVE IT! Good grief they have thin skin on this issue...why you would think that they were really scared that Romney may have a little Birther October surprise up his sleeve.

Lol!!!

[ROTB]

Wow. A campaign reset button!

“Mitt Romney should be ashamed of himself, and so should anyone who votes for him. “

Poor little white blogger. Afraid that people will stop talking about Akin?

btw It worked.

[technically right]

I didn’t think Mitt had it in him. This could turn out to be fun, fun, fun!

[dfwgator]

Mitt is no McLame.

[Ignatz]

” I don’t forgive poor, isolated, ignorant whites their racism, but you can understand some of the cultural programming that embedded it”

One can almost SMELL the smug condescension (and fear).

[TexasCajun]

Defiantly over the target!!

Romney should ask who in the crowd has seen Sheriff Joe's BC presentation.

[driftless2]

Joan Walsh doubles down on stupid. These clowns or clownettes can’t get race off their minds. If Obama came out and announced he was a fan of Stalin, anybody criticizing him would still be called a racist.
