Mitt Romney hits pay dirt with Uncle Omar stand
By Howie Carr | Friday, December 23, 2011 | http://www.bostonherald.com | Columnists

Mitt Romney needs a lot more of the headlines like the one he got in the Drudge Report yesterday:

“Romney: I’d Deport Obama’s Uncle.”

It made me feel pretty good, too, since I’m the one who asked Willard the question on my radio show Wednesday afternoon. Think of it as my Christmas present to you, Mitt.

This is the kind of red meat GOP primary voters want. Forget those 59-point economic plans and your 42-year marriage to Ann. Everywhere Americans go, they see illegals lounging on the corners, crowding the emergency rooms, using EBT cards at supermarkets, demanding translators in the district courts, dominating the local newspapers’ police blotters (driving without a license, driving without an inspection sticker, etc.).

The old song was right. Everything free in America. At least for illegal aliens.

The fact that the president of the United States has not one, but two relatives who came into the country illegally tells you absolutely everything you need to know about Barack Obama. You don’t need to ever bring up his birth certificate issue as long as you keep Auntie Zeituni and Uncle Omar out there front and center.

It’s a no-brainer. I was just surprised Mitt didn’t know who I was talking about at first when I mentioned “Uncle Omar.” I understand that he wouldn’t read Barack’s narcissistic memoirs, but hey, Uncle Omar’s been in the Boston papers for months now.

The reason Gov. Rick Perry dropped like a stone in the polls last fall wasn’t so much that he had that brain freeze in the debate, it was that he described Americans who are concerned about the free rides for illegals as “heartless.”

Now Mitt ought to add Auntie Zeituni to his stump speech. I know she’s been granted “asylum” — wink wink nudge nudge. But the fact remains, she admitted last year that she was collecting welfare and living in public housing even when she was an illegal alien.

I used to get so much grief from my moonbat callers for pointing out that illegal aliens collect welfare. The Birkenstock crowd would tell me I was flat-out lying. Then Auntie Zeituni went on Ch. 4 and let out the dirty little secret.

People who live near her in the Southie projects claim she’s got “security” of some sort, although that’s never been confirmed. Out in Framingham, where Uncle Omar lives, the ones who need security are the other drivers — he blew a .14 on the Breathalyzer the night he was lugged last August. Now his lawyers say the machine was defective — stop me if you’ve heard this one before.

As for you, Mitt, you don’t have to thank me. Just come on my show more often.
