Mittens embraces the racism of the extreme radical RWNJ's
Nowadays as a Republican/Teabagger it is de rigeur to be as offensivly racist as you can. If anybody complains you can always make a wishy-washy non apology. Mittens, in his headlong rush to be loved by the extreme radical RWNJ's is no exception.
The Romney team appears to have adopted a strategy of throwing so much dishonest spin around that the fact-checkers just throw their hands up in frustration. Along with his bald-faced lie that Obama “raided” Medicare , this week the campaign tripled-down on its universally debunked claim that the Obama administration had killed the welfare “reforms” passed by Bill Clinton. In fact, they defended that ad by citing a fact-free column by Mickey Kaus published on Tucker Carlson's always-wrong right-wing blog, the Daily Caller .It is not really difficult for Mittens as racism was a central core of his cult from its beginnings. That it has recently been renounced by the geezer leadership of the cult does not change the minds of their minions.
They hope to make inroads attacking welfare because, like the infamous "Southern strategy," it stokes racial animus. Political scientist Michael Tesler studied voters' reactions to seeing Romney's first welfare ad, and found that, “among those who saw it, racial resentment affected whether people thought Romney will help the poor, the middle-class, and African-Americans.”
