Video: Romney aide cordially invites media to kiss his ass
Hot Air ^ | JULY 30, 2012 | ALLAHPUNDIT

Posted on 07/31/2012 1:57:34 PM PDT by RobinMasters

They were at Poland’s tomb of the unknown soldier; the questions were shrill, irritating, and dumb; and aide Rick Gorka lost his temper for maybe eight seconds, then apologized. Simple ingredients, but that’s all you need for a tasty summer stew of manufactured outrage that keeps the news cycle churning. September can’t get here soon enough, my friends.

Alternate headline: “Conservative support for Romney now at 100 percent.”

Like the Newsweak 'wimp' cover. Mitt is a lot of things, but he's not a wimp.

The lame-stream media are just plain evil.

How easily deceived are those who can’t think for themselves and call him a RINO - he is LIBERAL through and through as his record shows.

I guess it boils down to what option is the least of the two evils in November:

Liberal through and through, or

Marxist Traitor through and through

Wow! “The media” sound like barking coyotes.

Slight edit: barking coyotes jackals.

False dichotomy. There are other options.

I don't consider Mitt evil. Just wrong, based on his history in office.

BTW, advocating voting for a candidate that is liberal because he's not as bad as the other guy isn't going to win conservative votes. It will, however, encourage the GOP to run more liberal candidates.

Romney as a businessman should know the importance of establishing your "brand". If he doesn't show some leadership now, when?

What would Reagan do?

Reagan would have done everything differently than Romney. And he would have done it with dignity and he would have left friends behind when he left his travels. He always did. And I am not going to hold my breath waiting for Romney to show any kind of leadership. Are you? As you said, if not now, when? He is too late even now. How do you overcome this disastrous trip?

Thankfully, I doubt most people agree with you. In all likelihood most sane people never agree with you.

I’m not a liberal so it’s n/a.

His popularity went up 20 points with me.

I agree w/you about Reagan and, also, a good reminder about him. The two candidates running couldn’t shine Reagan’s shoes. Nothing about them is pro-America - socialistic healthcare ALONE proves that.

Absolutely. I could not agree more.

Thankfully, Iagree with you and plenty of conservatives agree with you. We did not want Romney. We had Santorum winning conservative sState after Conservative state. Romney won liberal states.

Freaking press weasels. Very gratifying to hear someone get righteously pissed at them and express it.

We have some folks here that don't appreciate a heartfelt KMA. I'm not going to say they are weak sisters, but they are easily offended by perfectly normal righteous indignation expressed in an earthy manner.

Gee, I wonder who that could be?

They're initials wouldn't be DallasSun and kenavi would they? :)

Has Obama EVER been yelled at like this? This famously reminds me of what used to happen to Reagan. Mitt should just cup his ear.

I'm just an average everday person, but if I was paying respects on hallowed ground even as a media target, regardless of what my 'advisors' would have said, I would have stopped what I was doing, squared off against that pack of jackals and exclaimed something to the point of ' Let's have some dignity here, I'll answer questions afterwards. '

Does anyone have any common sense on how to handle situations anymore?

I liked when Cheney did it to Leahy.
