Unhinged: Harper’s Mag accuses Romney of ‘sly’ racist jab at Obama
Washington Examiner: Mitt Romney “slyly” proved he’s a racist at the debate while describing his tax plan. Did you notice? No? Anyone? Harper’s Magazine’s Kevin Baker embarrassed himself in accusing Romney of trying to lock down his allegedly-racist base during the debate.
“[Obama]didn’t show a spark of anger, even when Romney slyly found a way to call him a boy, comparing Obama’s statements to the sorts of childish lies his ‘five boys’ used to tell,” Baker lamented. “How the right’s hard-core racists must have howled at that! Mitt, at long last, has secured his base.”
Actually, the entire debate audience laughed at Romney’s clever, innocuous way of rebutting Obama’s attack. Here’s what Romney said to Obama, per the White House transcript:
I will not reduce the share paid by high-income individuals. I know that you and your running mate keep saying that, and I know it’s a popular thing to say with a lot of people, but it’s just not the case. Look, I’ve got five boys. I’m used to people saying something that’s not always true, but just keep on repeating it and ultimately hoping I’ll believe it. (Laughter.) But that is not the case, all right? I will not reduce the taxes paid by high-income Americans.
You just can’t make this stuff up. How in the world can you conclude that what Romney said is racist?
Guess when you’ve run out of excuses for a record number of people on food stamps, a 30-year low in workforce participation, the downgrade of the U.S. credit rating to AA+ (the first time ever below AAA), a decline in median household income (to a level last seen in 1996), and a president that has accumulated more debt than all presidents combined, you pull the race card. Pathetic.

The Left have nothing left but the race card since they can’t point to any achievements the POS accomplished in nearly FOUR years.

There is much more to complain about with both candidates. It is certainly a pathetic situation to think we, as Americans, must choose/vote for one of them as our President. People say they will have to choose “the lesser of the evil” and vote! Well, that is still voting for EVIL…. What does our Father in Heaven say about that?? The only option or solution seems to be to “write in” Ron Paul’s name on the ballot on election day, it will be counted! Please don’t .vote for evil, out of control issues, & candiates that support them. Wake up my fellow Americans! We DO have a choice…..
elle, assuming that Romney is “evil” — which you haven’t even made a pretense of demonstrating — by voting for Ron Paul you are ensuring that the GREATER of two “evils” will be reelected. What does our Father in Heaven say about that?
I just get sooo sick of this doo-doo. Mr. Prez has done all he can to divide the country by race. Trey Martin looks like the son he didn’t have. No one raised a voice over this. And now they are making up stuff to smear Romney with. When are we going to stand up to be counted??
OK, Romney’s white so he’s a racist. I’m white so I’m a racist. Stacey Dash is black but she’s voting for Romney so she’s an Aunt Tom racist. All whites are racists unless they kiss Obama’s butt. We get it. You’ve made your point. Over and over. You can shut up now. I really feel bad for you that you can’t think of anything else to say. Must suck to be you.
Congressman Ron Paul voted for the repeal of Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell. In other words, he voted for sodomy in the military!
The race card is all the desperate commies have left to try and save their precious Dear Ruler.

I need to ask, because I really don’t know . . . what does “POS” stand for? I can see “President = P, O = Of . . . as in President of the United States. I have seen POS in many statements; I tried looking it up online, but could not get an answer. Please, someone, clue me in.
Piece of sh*t
