Romney Sharpens Old Message: Obama Runs On ‘Hatred’

Someone needs to take a nap.




So much for Paul Ryan ushering in a new focus on real issues. Mitt Romney is accusing President Obama of stoking “enmity” among people divided by “income, age, [and] ethnicity,” as the campaign takes a sharply negative turn.

But at the root of the harsh new rhetoric is a central theme that’s come out of Romney’s campaign and his own mouth for months: Obama wants to pit have-nots against haves to win. It’s a message that polling suggests hasn’t really resonated so far. Romney appears to believe that pulling out all the stops will do what the slightly more measured version of the line couldn’t do before.

Hatred for funneling all money to the top 1%. But no hatred for people. This won't even stick. Obama just seems kind.

is how these old, white, frowning and angry men (and women i guess too) can say that the pres is so freaking horrible and hateful when he is always smiling, kids love him, nothing but laughter and fun on his campaign trail... it's like "opposite world" to me
