Mitt Romney: 'Birther'

[bigtree]

. . . simple as that.

He can't just accept the support of someone who's actively promoting such an outrageous and patently racist view as Donald Trump's trumped-up denial of Barack Obama's citizenship and then claim not to approve of the vicious and slanderous lie his supporters are diligently spreading.

Romney campaign sticks with Trump, despite birther comments

_____ "Look, it's very simple," Trump said in a Daily Beast interview. "A book publisher came out three days ago and said that in his written synopsis of his book . . ."

Trump's latest foray into birtherism comes just days ahead of a big campaign event with Romney in Las Vegas. The event, which will also feature former candidate Newt Gingrich, is set to take place Tuesday at Trump's International Hotel on the Strip.

Romney's campaign is also raffling a chance to have dinner with Trump for supporters who donate $3 to the campaign.

"I want you: Dine with the Donald," a campaign flier proclaims, along with a drawing of Trump in the post of Uncle Sam.

The campaign offers: "Airport transportation in the Trump vehicle; Stay at the Trump International Hotel & Tower New York; Tour the Celebrity Apprentice Boardroom; Dine with Donald Trump and Mitt Romney."

Obama's campaign spokesman Ben LaBolt labeled Trump the "birther in chief" on MSNBC Friday.

Romney: Racist Pig

1. Oh, puhleeze.

Can this campaign descend even lower into the ridiculous?

2. I have said for months that the birthers will dominate this summer for the GOP.

Rove and his orcs have failed to tamp down these idiots, and they will pay the price. Romney has no choice now but to cultivate them. He will do that through crap like cozying up to Trump. He's in a bind.

Others tried Rev. Wright, but it's the birthers who hold sway in the GOP in 2012 (sorry, Sean Hannity).
