Statement: Governor Romney Has Reacted Tepidly In a Moment That Required Moral Leadership

May 17, 2012

CHICAGO, IL – Obama for America Campaign Manager Jim Messina released the following statement on today’s report in The New York Times:

“This morning's story revealed the appalling lengths to which Republican operatives and SuperPacs apparently are willing to go to tear down the President and elect Mitt Romney. The blueprint for a hate-filled, divisive campaign of character assassination speaks for itself. It also reflects how far the party has drifted in four short years since John McCain rejected these very tactics. Once again, Governor Romney has fallen short of the standard that John McCain set, reacting tepidly in a moment that required moral leadership in standing up to the very extreme wing of his own party.”

1. Hate, Sir, More Specifically Racist Hate, Is His Only Hope For Success

Race hate is the principal motivation of the most reliable Republican voters, and R-money has nothing else with which to rouse these people to vote for him....

3. Question to th DU group mind:

On Tweety's show he said that Romney was on Hannity's show in February stating that he was going to go after Obama with the Jeremiah Wright story. He even played a clip showing Romney saying this. Tweety also said that the Romney campaign gave a preliminary go-ahead for the Wright ads and only withdrew their permission after the NY Times outed them.

Yet, almost everywhere else in the media they're blaming only the billionaire who came up with the specific plan and his superpac. On Erin Burnett's show on CNN, every panel member said Romney never had anything to do with this. In fact Erin Burnett made a point of telling her viewers at the close of the segment that Romney never had anything to do with this and in fact repudiated it.

My question: which is it? Is Tweety right when he says the Romney campaign first gave the secret go-ahead for this?

If you use any truths about me, I'll use racism against you.
