EXCELLENT!
You've hit on it. They always accuse their opposition of what they themselves are are about and doing (their MO).
“this parallels Obamas latest attack on Romney as being this other Romney”
“They always accuse their opposition of what they themselves are are about and doing (their MO)”
Another example of this:
Remember all of the accusations from the left accusing GWB as being a puppet, and the puppet masters were Cheney, etc.?
The left accused Republicans, yet it’s obvious obama IS a puppet - and everyone who watched the debate understands this. I believe that’s a huge part of the anger currently on display.
