Romney Goes Full Racist: Accuses Obama of Cutting Welfare Work Requirement to "Shore Up Base."

[Playinghardball]

Short Romney: Obama is cutting the work requirement for welfare so he can get the shiftless Ns to vote for him. He's not even hiding his hood anymore.

This is not dog whistles. It's full out racism.

The racist attack is built on a lie. No one cut any work requirements. But it is not about reality. It's about whipping up racist hate to get votes.

Romney is the modern day George Wallace. America will retch his hate out. It is not 1968.

Romney defends the welfare ads as accurate, accusing Obama of offering state waivers as a political calculation designed to "shore up his base" for the election. He denies he was trying to stoke discredited questions about Obama's birthplace when he said at a Detroit rally Friday that no one had ever asked him for his Michigan birth certificate.

Romney’s most recent comments intensify his strategy by explicitly claiming Obama’s core supporters are on public assistance and lazy. Last week, Romney “joked” about Obama’s birth certificate. The New York Times reported that Romney has decided to adopt a “more combative” strategy designed “to appeal to white, working-class voters.”

Romney is desperate.

1. Romney has 0% approval rating amongst blacks, Bush had 11% in 2004 after find no WMDs...

...but of course the right will have people asking why do blacks vote dem.

2. Rove's helping out, isn't he?

What else should we expect from him?

3. One point: Obama hasn't done one single thing to cut the requirements.

Romney will continue to become more and more desperate. Anything to distract from his missing tax returns.

7. Those ads have been playing relentlessly in NC

I'm pretty sure they're being heard in the very southeastern and very northwestern portions of the state. It's gotten so we can't listen to local news at all. Every. Single. Frick-ken ad that come on is some puke batch of lllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllies.

Never met a puke that wasn't some combination of liar, hypocrite, and thief They'll look you in the eye and keep on lying when you know they know you know they're lying. They just don't care. Truth means absolutely nothing to them. They just make shit up on the fly and expect sane people just to accept it on their say-so. Now they're proudly putting it up on TV to bolster their racist street-cred. Disgusting.

They can kiss my entire ass, every elephant-blowing one of them.

This year takes the goddam cake for thoroughly-debunked ads playing over and over and over and over relentlessly.

If this shyte keeps up I'll be chewing the carpets by November.

8. These ads disgust me. What a liar!

I was wondering why my Iowan father-in-law was talking about welfare as an issue being hotly discussed at the local gas station. Now I know why. It's because these damned ads where RMoney is lying through his teeth about Obama waiving work requirements for welfare. It's all a lie. What a sleazebag!



Ok, I'm done venting.

P.S. Don't ask me where I've been. I try not to watch political ads and, amazingly, I never saw these ads before today.
