Obama's Media Begin New Coordinated Attack On Romney With Unnamed 'Anglo-Saxon Heritage' Quote

If you haven't heard about an unnamed Mitt Romney adviser discussing America's "Anglo-Saxon heritage" with a British reporter yet, you will.

On Tuesday, Britain's Telegraph published the following:

As the Republican presidential challenger accused Barack Obama of appeasing America's enemies in his first foreign policy speech of the US general election campaign, advisers told The Daily Telegraph that he would abandon Mr Obama’s “Left-wing” coolness towards London.

In remarks that may prompt accusations of racial insensitivity, one suggested that Mr Romney was better placed to understand the depth of ties between the two countries than Mr Obama, whose father was from Africa.

“We are part of an Anglo-Saxon heritage, and he feels that the special relationship is special,” the adviser said of Mr Romney, adding: “The White House didn’t fully appreciate the shared history we have”.

Notice how none of the advisers including the one quoted were named.

Not surprisingly, this has already gotten the attention of many Obama supporters here at home.

Salon's Joan Walsh wrote Wednesday morning, "In an [sic] stupidly racist gaffe, a Romney advisor tells a British paper his boss better appreciates our former overlord."

Walsh, Salon's editor at large, shouldn't call anyone stupid if she thinks "an" goes before "stupidly."

But she wasn't the only Obama sycophant jumping on this foolishness. Slate did as well, as did the New York Daily News, and New York magazine.

It seems a metaphysical certitude this will be featured all day long on CNN, MSNBC, and the broadcast evening news programs.

Of course, Romney's people are denying the entire story, but that's not going to prevent the President's media from advancing it.

“The Germans” are more Frankish, or French, genetically than they are Saxon.

Whoa ! Better be careful where you say that. :^)

Actually, given the fate of the Winston Churchill bust that used to grace the Oval Office, I think the use of ‘heritage’ is spot-on.

I do think an Anglo-Saxon would better understand the relationship between England and America than would a Kenyan reject.

Which was the point of the statement, if anybody even made it, and absolutely true.

But we already knew the Kenyan is offended by American history and, apparently, world history - which is quite a trick when he doesn't know any.

Anglo-Saxon would be uber UN-PC these days.

And we're supposed to care? Sorry, but the more un-PC a term is, the more I like it.

Don't Mexicans call white people "Anglos"? You mean (horrors!) somebody else is "racist" besides us??
