While he didn't mention him by name, Romney made reference to a Vice President Joe Biden's attack on his fiscal policies in Virginia speech Tuesday when he said Romney would "put you back in chains" if elected.

"His campaign and his surrogates have made wild and reckless accusations that disgrace the office of the presidency," Romney said. "Another outrageous charge just came a few hours ago in Virginia. And the White House sinks a little bit lower. This is what an angry and desperate presidency looks like. President Obama knows better, promised better and America deserves better."

Romney accused Obama of pushing Republicans and Democrats "as far apart as they can go" and he accused Obama of waging an even more divisive campaign by "dividing us all in groups."

"He demonizes some. He panders to others. His campaign strategy is to smash America apart and then cobble together 51 percent of the pieces. If an American president wins that way, we all lose," Romney said. "So, Mr. President, take your campaign of division and anger and hate back to Chicago, and let us get about rebuilding and reuniting America."

Asked for a response, Obama spokesman Ben LaBolt called Romney's claims hypocritical. "Gov. Romney's comments tonight seemed unhinged, and particularly strange coming at a time when he's pouring tens of millions of dollars into negative ads that are demonstrably false," LaBolt said.

1. project much?

[flamingdem]

2. He really seems to be unable to view his own behavior

It doesn't help that so many he attacked during the primaries are now or will no doubt soon be on his payroll

[backscatter712]

3. Dear Romney: Ask your doctor if Thorazine is right for you! n/t

[flamingdem]

5. When he gets all hot under the collar what does he do to disconnect?

Drink milk?

I bet he does have some pills..

[Freddie]

12. Seek medical help if you have an intelligent thought lasting more than four hours

[vduhr]

52. Sounds like he is a sociopath....

Lack of empathy, pathological lying, manipulative, twisting the 'rules' to suit themselves, refusal to take responsibility for their own actions, aggression (bullying).

[backscatter712]

58. Definitely a sociopath or psychopath.

He's got all the red flags. He'd be an extremely dangerous president.

[Curtland1015]

4. "Dividing us all into groups!". Only TWO Mitt...

The 99% and the 1%.

PS: no one was ever elected president whining like a baby.

[flamingdem]

6. Oooh. You need to email that one to Ben LeBolt!

He's on twitter.

[Amonester]

16. Another two: -55 | 55+

And it's a another damn dangerous division all made up for nothing (well actually, for screwing grannies, present and future).

[flamingdem]

26. It's 1955 so in fact hits anyone under 57 or 58

which means even more of us have to resort to coupons and vouchers for health care.

Ed Schultz made the point that it'll be like the Post Office. At a certain point the whole system won't work and the attitude will be "Let's just do away with it".

And we're too close to having these 2 get power ... they make Reagan look like a liberal

[Amonester]

30. They create 'new' divisions out of thin air for personal gain.

And what if 'unstable' gun-owning nuts under the mark start 'hating' grannies for such 'injustice' and suddenly plan to ...

THAT's what they do (consciously or not). THAT's the CONSEQUENCES of their divisions they are too effing DUMB to 'evaluate' because they R so greedy they can't think of anything else.

[flamingdem]

38. I have to wonder what a 57 year old R is really thinking regarding Medicare

and vouchers.

Do they truly trust these guys?

They can thank us, really.

[Blue Owl]

7. What good is an oven mitt that can't take the heat?

n/t

[L0oniX]

8. LOL ...Robme making friends with the people of Chicago. Nice!

[Herlong]

9. Hu?

[kestrel91316]

10. He's a Mormon bishop. He isn't accustomed to

ANYONE challenging him, especially one descended from Ham.

[flamingdem]

14. Okay you got me with the Ham reference

Ham ... what's Ham? A religion .. um ..

[Freddie]

19. Abraham?

[kestrel91316]

20. IIRC blacks are descendents of Ham or some other dude in the bible.

https://byustudies.byu.edu/showtitle.aspx?title=7674

They are supposedly cursed - Gawd made them black and perpetually inferior per LDS teaching until the 80s. The 1980s.

[flamingdem]

24. That's one loopy religion

He's old enough to have profoundly absorbed that ham stuff

[dimbear]

36. One of Noah's three sons.

I think there was a tv show about them, not sure about that. Ham, Shem, and Japheth.

[flamingdem]

43. The three mormons!

Slapstick at its best

[phleshdef]

11. Romney and his campaign are the whiniest operation I've seen in awhile.

I mean, campaigns do complain about each other, but Mitt just consistently loses his shit over every single thing.

[spanone]

13. spanone to romney

shut the fuck up you putz

[flamingdem]

17. Very accurate term

1. putz

(n) a stupid, ignorant person; someone who doesn't pay attention to anything going on; one who makes stupid remarks

2. Putz

A "putz" is yiddish (derogatory) for prick.

[nobodyspecial]

15. The attacks are working

so he wants them to stop.

[Freddie]

18. Let's see, Obama is a

Kenyan Muslim Socialist Farthest Left President Ever Who Takes Orders From Rev. Jeremiah Wright and Won't Show Us His College Grades...

But our side makes wild and reckless accusations!

In the immortal words of Pee-Wee Herman: I know you are, but what am I?

[flamingdem]

21. Romney needs to put his big boy pants on

[flamingdem]

22. Really, why is this even news?!

They've been relentless for so long the media should just ignore Willard when he whines

[fishwax]

23. I saw the "unhinged" comment elsewhere tonight, and it seemed a bit OTT -- now seeing the context,

it seems pretty spot on.

[Tom Ripley]

25. Chicago: The New New York City!

It has become geographical shorthand for everything the knuckle draggers despise

[DonCoquixote]

27. also

it is a shout out to the Jane Hamshers, who use "chicago" as a means of saying "not our democrat",

[GoCubsGo]

28. There's a whole lot of living in the past going on, too.

These imbeciles think Chicago is still the land of Al Capone and Roaring '20s gangsters. The people of Chicago moved on from that decades ago. The GOP, not so much.

[flamingdem]

33. That's a great tidbit to know

Haven't seen much of her lately on cable

[Rosa Luxemburg]

29. Romney doesn't like the truth

watch your laundry, Romney

[Enrique]

31. notice he is dividing Chicago off

back to Chicago? Is Chicago not part of America, Mitt? Sounds like Sarah Palin with her real America stuff

[MADem]

47. Chicago is part of BLACK AMERICA, you see....

He can't say "Go back to AFRICA" but his racist heart wants to...so this, to his mind, is the Next Best Thing.

Of course, the idiot doesn't realize that the public housing he's trying to occupy is located in Chocolate City.

[lonestarnot]

32. I'd tell him to take his shit and go back to the Caymans, but I'm sure they don't want him either.

[flamingdem]

34. ha ha ha - Obama is pretty well controlled considering

[lonestarnot]

39. They have obstructed everyfuckingthing and then blame Mr. President. What they think people are

not taking note? Especially those that are out of work? Don't tell me they don't know who to blame for the continued stagnant job market.

[progressivebydesign]

35. Jesus H. now THAT is a very very PERSONAL attack! Romney truly is the biggest asshole in politics.

Not once has either candidate attacked Romney or Ryan personally. Not once. They attack his policies, his refusal to release information.

Romney is now completely attacking the President personally. He's a thin-skinned rageaholic.

I NOW understand why the President dislikes Romney so much. He is a total asshole. I mean that not just in the 'oh he's running against the President," I mean that he is an absolute and complete asshole, with ZERO morals or scruples. He will do or say anything to get in power. His opponents know that... Romney has NO friends, no people that stick up for him, that are not paid to do that.

All he's doing is what Palin did, and it did NOT go well for her. Palin did this same scary angry shit, and McCain ended up having to deal with crazy people making threats and horrible comments that McCain had to deflect, on behalf of the President.

[flamingdem]

37. We have to remember the zombielike Obama hate

Romney got delirious cheers when he delivered those lines. Yeesh.

[progressivebydesign]

41. True.. but luckily it's the usual suspects. That kind of hate isn't going to win new ones over. n/t

[xtraxritical]

49. The more they show their stuff, the more the Republican cult is shrinking.

[B Calm]

40. Rich exploiting piece of shit

has the balls to say Obama is tearing America apart, LOL!

[progressivebydesign]

42. Romney, profoundly unlikable, thinks that making people hate Obama is = to liking Romney.

Romney's biggest issue is that people just don't like him. The republicans may vote for him because he's not President Obama, or some rich folks or wannabes might vote for him because they think they'll get something from him. But.. Romney is not winning over the swing voters, the young voters, and the Obama Republicans.

His angry histrionics are like the dumbest thing he can do. People don't like you, Romney. So why not become a screaming harpie, who seems to be so rage-filled that you can't even see straight. Is that going to make people like you? No.. you can get people to hate the President more, the ones that already hated him the minute he took office. But you need people to LIKE you, too. And this is NOT the way to do it.

But hey Romney, feel free to keep acting like the angriest man in the world, and keep your sycophants entertained, but don't expect anyone else to vote for you.. or like you.

[flamingdem]

44. I wonder if we're supposed to take to Ryan

He's so arrogant though, yes I like your theory, R&R will be wiped out in a "dislike" landslide!

[RepublicansRZombies]

45. this is the one area that Republicans excel

the one place they have achieved new heights, pushed the envelope into areas no one even thought possible....hypocrisy.

It is amazing to me they can stand up there with a straight face and say this stuff. Do they really believe themselves, are they just acting...I have no idea! They are just that good!

[flamingdem]

46. You read my mind

I was trying to figure out where and when this kind of hypocrisy can be used to destroy them. I do not really, truly understand the pass the media gives them. I think it's partly because one must be confrontational to deal with a hypocrite.

They are bullies. On some primal level they hold power with that. A bully is above the truth, but the true ART form they have developed, yes that is something so bizarre, so ultimately psychotic in it's essence, how could SO many people go along!?

We weren't like this as a country before. It's something that hasn't been fully understood or explained. And, we shouldn't assume right will win out, even when it's looking good for November.. they could do unimaginable things (again) with that mindset.

What kind of zen is needed to defeat them? I think we're lucky to have Obama. And now he's got a chance to destroy them. Maybe.

[xtraxritical]

50. Maybe Ryan's, like a KGB mole, maybe they both are? Too great, huh?

[flamingdem]

56. More like a Kochmole n/t

[Javaman]

48. sounds like mittens can't stand the heat.

he's failing.

[BeyondGeography]

51. Is Chicago part of Mitt's America?

[GoCubsGo]

53. The City of the Big Shoulders.

Hog butcher for the world,
Tool maker, stacker of wheat,
Player with railroads and the nation's freight handler;
Stormy, husky, brawling,
City of the big shoulders.

In other words, a place full of people who do real work for a living. So nope, it's not part of Mitt's America, where all they do is push around their inheritance from one investment to another.

[gkhouston]

54. Romney, take your whining loser ass back to wherever you're pretending to be from this week. n/t

[flamingdem]

55. Doesn't he live in his son's basement?

[Renew Deal]

57. This reminds me of the way Gingrich would respond to Romney when Gingrich was on the ropes.

And he is unhinged.
