One of Mitt Romney’s biggest challenges as the Republican nominee will be trying to suppress the strain of brain-eating crazy that has infected parts of his party and the conservative movement. He can’t reject it directly — he has neither the political standing nor the strength to do so — but he also can’t let it poison his campaign in the minds of independents and moderates.
But it’s not going to be easy.
Yesterday, for example, Romney was forced to repudiate a proposed ad campaign by a GOP SuperPAC that would have focused on President Obama’s ties to the Rev. Jeremiah Wright, suggesting that Obama is in some vague way “anti-white.”
To his credit, and to the credit of John McCain before him, Romney wanted nothing to do with such an approach, which was to have been funded by TD Ameritrade founder Joe Ricketts. Part of his rejection is pure pragmatism: Romney, like McCain, understands that such an approach would be politically disastrous, costing far more votes than it would gain.
But they also know that racism motivates such a campaign, just as it motivated the whole “whitey tape” phenomenon of four years ago. And both are too decent and honorable, with too much concern for their reputation, to want to be associated with such garbage.
Others, however, are not. The race-mongering Sean Hannity, for example, criticized Romney yesterday for refusing to make Wright a prominent campaign issue. As Hannity sees it, and as he has preached to his fearful flock repeatedly, Wright “explains a lot” about the way that Obama has governed and about his real attitude toward white America.
Other major conservative outlets are also eager to play to the “Obama-hates-white-people” meme that a subsection of the GOP base finds so emotionally fulfilling. One of my favorite examples — because it was so profoundly silly — was a column earlier this month by Joseph Curl of the Washington Times.
In the past, Curl noted, “the president took time from his busy schedule to comment on the passing of black musicians” such as Michael Jackson and Whitney Houston. So why was he so oddly silent about the death of Adam Yauch of the Beastie Boys? Whatever could this mean, this deeply revelatory pattern of commenting on the death of famous black musicians while falling silence on the passing of a somewhat obscure white musician?
Whatever it means, you could say the same about Rush Limbaugh. After being silent about the death of Adam Yauch, Limbaugh expressed sorrow yesterday at the passing of Donna Summer. Thus, by the Curl Theorem, Limbaugh hates white people, which given the amount of respect he shows their intelligence, is pretty much what I always suspected.
Speaking of which, let’s move on to the birthers. Just when you think you’ve heard the last of that lot, they pop back up like zombies, sometimes in surprisingly high positions.
In Arizona, for example, we have Secretary of State Ken Bennett telling people that unless the state of Hawaii once again officially confirms the validity of Obama’s birth certificate, “I will not put his name on the ballot.” Of course, Bennett also took pains to deny that he’s a birther. “I believe the president was born in Hawaii,” he told a radio interviewer. “Or at least I hope he was.” I also believe that Bennett doesn’t beat his wife. At least I hope he doesn’t.
And in Colorado, we have U.S. Rep. Mike Coffman, the latest GOP congressman to join the birther ranks. He told a crowd that “I don’t know whether Barack Obama was born in the United States of America. I don’t know that. But I do know this, that in his heart, he’s not an American. He’s just not an American.”

They are right he is not a American at heart he is a elite puppet for the nwo. Part i am corious about is who has their hand up his arse pulling the strings!!
Obamas father was a British citizen, and by law, that makes Obama a dual citizen at best, and ineligible to be President. Birth location would not change that.
I could not care less what race O is.(He is actually 50% white by the way, 38% arab, and only 12% african) He is a stinking marxist who decided to go the pragmatic fascist route to advance the agenda. That begins and ends all of reasons that I need to hate him and want him thrown from office. Removal for fraud would be spectacular and give the US a do over. However, no judge has the guts to take up the case. It is telling they aren’t willing to risk it to even rule in O’s favor.
In Obama’s audio book, “Dreams of My Father”, Obama states, “white greed builds a world in need”. This is a blatantly racist statement found in his book stated in his own voice!! Try and spin that one! When you couple this with the fact that he sat in the pews for TWENTY years of a pastor who preached the very anti-white and racist “Black Theology”, a pastor whose close associate is and has been the rabid anti-white racist Louis Farrakhan you have a story that is more than news-worthy.
Together Louis Farrakhan and Pastor Wright visited Libya and the now room temperature Omar Kadhafi whom both were a fan of. According to Obama, this pastor “Led him to his understanding of Christ” and baptized his daughters.
Am I a racist to say that David Duke is a racist? Why then is off limits to point out that his long-term pastor and close family friend is a racist?
One of two things are true here. Either Obama harbors many of these racist views himself or he was acting as if he did to curry favor of those who did. In either case it is beyond despicable!
I’m not voting for the defacto government president. And, the defacto government has been legally dissolved.
Whats truly despicable is this piece of trash telling me I am a racist for not supporting NObama. That race card has been played out. You can take your emotional and guilt driven propaganda and stick it where the sun doesnt shine. I know what you are and all of your kind will fail.
They have not one thing to brag about this failed presidency/president-so they pullout the race card. How about a grading the president-then??? In the liberal world-he pass’s with flying colors because we can’t hurt anyones feelings. In the REAL WORLD he gets&carries a BIG FAT “F” F for failed policies, F for trying to to take away our 1ST AND 2ND CONSTITUTIONAL RIGHTS away! F for not following the “rule of law” and over-riding or ignoring our congress! Which in effect, is doing this to WE THE PEOPLE who voted these people in office. F for stealing the election-NO THANKS TO ACORN! I could continue………but I think this pretty much says it all! By the way-again not constitutionally allowed to be president DUE TO THE FACT HIS BC IS A BRITISH PROTECTORATE at the time of BIRTH! whitehatsreport.com More corruption than you can shake a fist at!
The only “brain eating crazy” I see is from political leftist like the author of this article who insist that any political view they don’t like is “racism.”
Unfortunately, there is no cure for your disease.
Funny, I’m not even willing to admit that Obama Bin Lyin is even human – the evidence seems to point to his being a CIA creation from start to finish. Does that make me racist?
Its not about race Its about High Treason.
if you don’t like the pres, you’re a racist. pure bs. he is an american citizen, but NOT a “natural born” one. so, everything he’s signed is not valid. all of congress are traitors for not speaking up before he was elected. the opposition is always going to use divisive constructs (bigotry, religion, political party, etc.) instead of a real argument… what team are you on? oh really? i must hate you then. total bs for knee jerk partisans who parrot what they hear…. no thinking allowed…..
