Romney the Race Baiter

Michael Tomasky on Mitt Romney the Race Baiter at the NAACP

With his incendiary speech to the NAACP, Mitt crossed an ugly line. No longer simply spineless and disingenuous, he’s now become a race-mongering pyromaniac. Plus Mansfield Frazier on Romney's diversity problem.

Until yesterday, I thought of Mitt Romney as a spineless, disingenuous, and supercilious but more or less decently intentioned person who at least wasn’t the race-mongering pyromaniac that some other Republican candidates of my lifetime have been. Then he gave his speech to the NAACP, and now I think of him as a spineless, disingenuous, supercilious, race-mongering pyromaniac who is very poorly intentioned indeed, and woe to us if this man sets foot in the White House as anything but a tourist.

We learned a great deal about Mitt Romney yesterday, and what we learned only adds to the picture of this little, plastic fellow who thinks he can get points from white moderates (as explained by an aide to BuzzFeed) by appearing at the NAACP while generating high-fives on the white right for rubbing dirt in the faces of its members while there.

This is the kind of stupid floating around the left today.  Expect to see more of it.

All that yapping & not one example.  And, of course, if he hadn't gone he would be ignoring blacks or a coward. Wonder what the author thinks of ABM's remarks to the NAACP this year?

The "race baiter"got a standing ovation from the gathering after he was finished.

What does that make the NAACP members in attendance?

Oh and another thing you won't hear much on in the MSM...Obama isn't speaking at the convention...he's sending Biden in his place.

At least Romney isn't afraid to go into "enemy" territory so to speak.
