45. Romney is now disputing this by calling it a "FOREIGN paper!"

It's hilarious to watch them freak out. What happened to their special relationship? NOW they call it a "foreign" paper in a derogatory way. Here's the link. http://news.yahoo.com/blogs/ticket/romney-spokesman-blasts-british-paper-false-quote-anglo-184521146.html

<<"Spokesman Ryan Williams angrily denounced the comment on Wednesday as "an anonymous and false quote from a foreign newspaper." >>

haha, how quickly they turn on the UK when caught being racist jerks again. Thing is with a quote like that, and there was more than what that tool at Yahoo put up, is that it would be impossible for someone to make that up. Where would a journalist even come up with an entire line of thinking like that to attribute to Romney's advisor???

Of course the ass kissers at yahoo are like.. 'oh, that paragraph is not that bad,' but it was not the only thing that was said there.

So... we should have fought alongside the Germans against the English? Really? Chorophyll Jul 2012 #18

This is my error. I instinctively read World War TWO where you had said World War ONE. Chorophyll Jul 2012 #22
