— Ace "The basest and the most despicable bigotry we might be able to imagine."
See, this is why I sort of think it's funny. It's a "secondary reaction" joke. The joke itself is lame. The humor comes from imagining the reaction of the thin-skinned Obama and his hyperprotective partisans in the press. Then, of course, seeing it.
I think this is a type of clapper humor we see a lot from liberals, especially Bill Maher. His "jokes" aren't funny; but people laugh because they are anticipating an angry, upset reaction from the right.
So, it's not a style of joke of high craftsmanship. But it is one that has long had a cherished place in the leftist toolbox.

I was born in Virginia which is way better, in fact it is supreme, however, being Michigan-born is just not a bigoted thing.

Romney said "Nobody ever had to ask for his birth certificate."
It is a lame joke but not really that offensive I think.

I have a good imagination and thus don't have to watch a msnbc clip. Been there, done that. Let me guess, their hair was on fire and steam was issuing from their ears.
The hypocrisy is enjoyable. After all the Biden vomitus, this remark set them off into the realm of hyperbole?

Little tip, sparky; the people wearing them back in the day got stuck with them due to a profound lack of eyewear choices. You have no such excuse.

Further, I want to see that bitch Barky's health records -- specifically all lung, kidnyey and heart exams (EKG) to see if his drug use has caused any defects/problems.

"I shall never fight in the armed forces with a Negro by my side ... Rather I should die a thousand times, and see Old Glory trampled in the dirt never to rise again, than to see this beloved land of ours become degraded by race mongrels, a throwback to the blackest specimen from the wilds."

"The basest and the most despicable bigotry we might be able to imagine."
Apparently Biden putting on the Uncle Remus voice and telling a black audience that Romney is "gonna put y'all back in chains!" isn't "despicable bigotry." Who knew?
And btw, how exactly is this bigotry?
"No one has ever asked to see my birth certificate. They know that this is the place that we were born and raised."
What is bigoted about that line? According the Merriam-Webster online dictionary, a bigot is defined as:
"a person who is obstinately or intolerantly devoted to his or her own opinions and prejudices; especially : one who regards or treats the members of a group (as a racial or ethnic group) with hatred and intolerance."
*looks at quote*
*looks at definition*

Questions were occasionally asked about George Romney’s eligibility to run for President in 1968 due to his birth in Mexico, given the ambiguity in the United States Constitution over the phrase “natural-born citizen”. His Mormon paternal grandfather and his three wives had fled to Mexico in 1886, but none of them ever relinquished U.S. citizenship. Romney’s parents chose U.S. citizenship for their children, including George. The family fled Mexico and came to the United States in 1912 during the Mexican Revolution.

I think saying "I was born in that local hospital and no one's ever asked to see my birth certificate"
is way more outrageous than saying "Mitt Romney is a felon who likes nothing more than to fire people and make their wives die of cancer."
Don't you people get that??
There is still time to save this election. The convention has not nominated Romney yet. We can still win this if we throw Romney overboard .

The Dems are the original 'Birthers'.
They are the ones who brought it up in the Senate...in 2008...demanding a 'ruling' on John McCain's eligibility.
Barky was a part of that.
It was....odd....at the time.
McCain wasn't even the nominee yet.

It keeps Akin off of the national news (but now he's having a presser in :45) and the MSM/Obama campaign reaction is predictably off the charts.
First, it brings up the question: Who the hell hides a birth certificate? Especially when it was so innocuous?
Second: Maybe Romney can wait 2.5 years to release his old tax returns. No biggie, right?
Third: The hypocrisy (BC coffee mugs sold at Obama/Biden 2012's website) of the hysterics are hilarious. Racist? Yeah, that John McCain really suffered from some racist demands to release his BC.
This was planned and focus-grouped. Romney knows exactly what he's doing and the American people just don't think that you should hide your birth certificate. They think it's weird.

You know what the Romney campaign should do? Play a little Obama-style offense, by which I mean overload the soundbytes. The Obama admin has managed to keep all of its scandals out of the public view not only because of its utter subordination of the media, but also because of HOW MANY scandals there are, and HOW QUICKLY they've followed one after the other.
Tomorrow Romney should make a joke about Obama eating dog.
On Sunday, he should mention the Chicago slums that Obama lorded over in his time in the Illinois legislature.
On Monday, at the convention, he should talk about how he never belonged to a "Choom Gang," because he was too busy making shitloads of money.
Just keep piling on, every single day. The media won't know what to do. They'll run around like chickens with their heads cut off. It'll be hilarious.

Romney's comment technically wasn't true. As Politico's Maggie Haberman quickly noted on Twitter, reporters asked to see copies of Romney's birth certificate during the 2008 campaign—not to see his birthplace but rather to verify his full name.

“I don’t even know what to do with that joke, it’s like a lasagna of metaphor. I don’t know what, it’s like so piled up, somebody, Adam Serwer at Mother Jones referred to at as ‘ironic post-birtherism,’ it’s like hipster racism basically,” Hayes surmised. “It’s like certainly weirdly nudging and winking at this thing that everyone knows is this kind of coded racial appeal.”
Sweet Jesus but Chris Hayes speaks in word salad.
Well, "hipster racism" is the thing you get when hipsters try to act like they're "in" with the minorities in their communities. Like they move to Harlem so they can say they're "down with the struggle" and such. Until they get punched in the face for being a weak-wristed little nancy boy, at which point they move back uptown to their mommy and daddy's brownstone.
The difference between that and what Romney said is that the minorities -- usually blacks -- who are impacted by 'Hipster racism" generally can't stand the douchebags who do it, whereas we conservative wackaloons just love this stuff from Romney.

329 Akin is holding a presser at 5:15 eastern time. Keep your fingers crossed that he's doing the right thing, but I'm not hopeful.
He will probably go for some sympathy, claiming death and rape threats.
Posted by: jwest at August 24, 2012 12:08 PM (ZDsRL)
"Next best" best case scenario: Akin announces he is staying in the race, but will run as an Independent and is leaving the Republican Party over ideological differences. (that and the fact that they refuse to send him money and have told him he will not be caucusing with them and is not welcome at the convention.)
This lets him continue to accept donations and save face. It also lets the Republican party put someone else's name on the ballot.

Right. RC Obama's team is so perfect they never are caught off guard by anthing. We should just give up and go home now. Because they will run a perfect campaign and we will inevitably screw a few things up so that's that they win we lose. Over, kaput, pack it up horde. Cause I'm sure team Romney went willy nilly into a birther joke without considering what *might* happen.
RC right now the media and the Obama campaign are having very predictable responses to that joke. In fact exactly how I'd think they respond. Take it from somebody who did it for a living. In a battle one of the worst, if not the worst thing you can be is predictable to your opponents.

"One of the things I loathe the most about people like Todd Akin (and any number of other vocal right-wing figures) is the way the darkness and hate they project upon the world summons an answering darkness within me."

Todd Akin's presser will focus on threats of rape his wife has received. Had local St. Louis television reporting on this last night."
And whoever is making those threats is disgusting and should have his or her ankles nailed to their ears before being tossed in the river to drown.
But Akin should still leave the race.

That's exactly what he's doing. And if you think that temper isn't a huge deal in a conflict like this than your as naive as you are claiming others are. Obama hurts himself the worst when he is angry. Once more he doesn't have good control over his temper and it comes through...often. He makes off the cuff remarks that help us and generally comes off as a condescending prick. A-la You didn't build that.
To quote someone.
"If your opponent is of choleric temper, seek to irritate him"

It's actually trolling for the gaffe. And it will come either from the SCOAMT or little Joey. It serves a two-fold purpose. It exposes who these people are and it takes some of the pressure off from the Aiken debacle. Good strategy.

Bull shit. Every presidential election of your young life has been exactly a high school popularity contest, nothing more or less. Clinton was the National Student Council president, GWB was a cheerleader you said it yourself, and the JEF is the moral equivalent of Napoleon Dynamite's buddy. This is the world you made for yourself, and even at that, we're still better at it than you are. Plus we fuck the prom queen. Ours is a girl.

WeÂ’re just a joke they sometimes crack, theyÂ’ll get away with anything
The government is holding back, they wonÂ’t say a word
Now is that a light in sky or just a spark in my heart?
Can I accept this as evidence or will that tear the whole act apart?
Waiting for the ufos waiting for the ufos
We are waiting for the ufos we know that theyÂ’re there
This new obsession is turning us alien too too
Much more resounding my heart just stopped pounding for you
Waiting for the ufos waiting for the ufos
We are waiting for the ufos waiting waiting
