The really telling thing about the guy with the racist shirt at the Romney rally today



Republicans could make the excuse that it's unfair to seize on one random guy in the crowd, except...
the guy seems to be happily welcomed as a member of the crowd - there's zero evidence he was asked to leave or told his message was inappropriate.

Just as Romney gleefully cozies up to racist birthers like Trump, the GOP is all too glad to have this guy in their ranks.
Whatever gets the job done is the mentality here.

It might be unfair to say the Republican Party is racist as a whole, but it's certainly fair to say they have no problem with exploiting and using racism to their advantage.

Meanwhile, Ann Coulter is on Real Time tonight telling Bill Maher there is no racism left in America...

Remember the videos of the vile, hate-filled, hostile GOP supporters at McCain/Palin rallies? This is basically the kind of thing that came out of their mouths too. "Whatever gets the job done" is exactly right.

Because Romney's only core belief is that he's entitled to be POTUS, and he's already sold himself to everyone he thinks can aid him in achieving his narcissistic goal.
