So let me be sure I have this straight.

A Republican congressman calls 80 elected Democrats communists. One of the biggest contributors to the GOP war on Obama says that he hopes the President's teleprompter is bulletproof. Limbaugh accuses the White House of orchestrating the increase in racial tensions in the country by his comments about Travon. And the story that has the corporate media in high dudgeon is the in-artful but essentially true comments of an independent Democratic consultant on a talk show.
I think Hillary Rosen had the right take then and the right reaction now. Presenting Ann Romney as a credible source on the problems of women is laughable on its face. Apologizing to her for the clumsiness of her words was what a civil person does when causing offense inadvertently. But calling this kerfuffle faux outrage is right on the money. The RW has been doing this for years. They routinely hit us with charges of treason, anti Americanism and lack of moral standards and then go crying to the media for the slightest of missteps or the harshness of the truth spoken by us.
I like what Obama said about Ann Romney. He should stay above the fray. But the rest of us ought to think twice before attacking our own when the GOP hand-wringers start their caterwauling.
