President Barack Obama's reelection campaign manager on Thursday accused Mitt Romney of expressing insufficient outrage at a conservative super PAC's reported plan for a " hate-filled, divisive campaign of character assassination" against the incumbent.
According to a copy of the plan obtained by the New York Times, the group hopes to highlight ties between Obama -- who is referred to as a "metrosexual, black Abe Lincoln" -- and his controversial former pastor Rev. Jeremiah A. Wright Jr.'s "black liberation theology."
"This morning's story revealed the appalling lengths to which Republican operatives and SuperPacs apparently are willing to go to tear down the President and elect Mitt Romney," Obama campaign manager Jim Messina said in a statement.

Big Whoop . . . they have it coming after what they did to Sarah Palin and the entire Palin family.
Romney will DEFEND pRes_ _ent Obama,
and in its stead will say the “Presidency” is defective
as he attacks conservatives.
SSDD.
The only thing that is “hate filled” in the GOP plan is the quotes from Rev. Wright.
He hired a Communist thug like Shepard Fairey to be his propaganda minister in 2008.
Nah.
The PACs will do what they will; Obama’s PACs will slime Romney and both candidates will say they have nothing to do with it.
Obama has been on the attack about Romneys business methods all week and he has the nerve to complain about attacks.
Last week he ttacked him for having an offshore account.
At least we know how Romney got rich. Where did Obama’s millions come from?He came from nothing attended 3 rich colleges stirred up some citizens got elected in a dirty campaign to state senator, got elected to be US Senator in an even dirtier campoaign and now attacks someone else for a dirty campaign.
You have to give Obama one thing he has nerve.
I guess the truth hurts, eh?
Romney will not be able to stop this. It will saturate under ground. Media will only ask “Should Romney stop this” they will never ask Obama, is this true..... Backasswards
Exactly. The Rats never repudiated Romney’s classmates when they called him a bully.
Yep, and with the book on the Amateur Obama getting play now, it's good timing to remind folks or finally vett Obama. Let him deny how important Wright was in his life.
Axelrod was up tweeting this to his Mainstream MEdia sycophants at %:15 this morning.
They really are scared that Romney is going to go all-out against them.
IIRC, the GOP superPACs are not under Romney control and can say and do anything they want.
Think Progress Tweet:
“Strategist behind proposed Reverend Wright attack ad has long history of race-baiting for losing candidates”
Christian Hines, The Hill, Tweet:
“Four Reasons why injecting Wright into the race could actually help Obama”
The Media sycophants are out in FORCE against this Plan.
Gee, I wonder WHY?
But he will probably just defend Obama...
I hope the Super Pacs absolutely destroy the politcal future of the queer in the White House.
None of the bigwigs from that SuperPac had better go out running by themselves early in the morning. They might die of “natural causes”.
