Can we talk about this now?

This is blatant racism, coded speak...imagine the Wing nuts in their basements hearing The first black President is gutting welfare. Imagine the workings of their little minds..."well we all knew he would make it soft on his own"

This shows the desperation of the Romney team, he is unsure of his most rancid base. He has to court them over and over. Now this blatant piece of red meat.

I weep for this country, that people would still think this was a valid point. I weep thinking racism still exists in the 21st century.

This is not a new tactic, they are doing the same thing that was done to another people in the 20th century. Remember the horrid results.

This ad showing white people working, strong, patriotic! While talking about lazy people, getting out of working for their welfare check.

Resentment of the poor, add to it race. THIS IS DISGUSTING, but it is also very dangerous.

Can we talk about this now?
