Oh we get it. Mitt Romney's a dick! See, it's funny because people are racist! If you care, Romney's people like immediatelywalked it back, with a very compelling "he didn't say that." [ ThinkProgress / NYT ]
If I remember "The Autobiography of Malcolm X" correctly (and it has been quite some time since I read it), he thought Ovid, Michigan, was one of the most racist places in the United States.

Anyone, meeting Mitt Romney for the first time: " 'Mitt'? Is that short for 'Mitchell'? " Mitt explains.
Then, if both are white: "Named after a football player? That's great!"
If Mitt were black, however: "That's not an American name, now, is it?"
It does seem that Romney's campaign strategy is based on the assumption that he can do and say whatever the hell he wants and the press will never call him out on it, and that this assumption so far has proven largely accurate.
Paul RAyn won't answer questions about trying, along with Todd Akin, to change the Medicare abortion exception for "forcible" rape.

I thought it was Newt who got that.
You mean &quot;legitimate rape&quot;.
I&#039;m happy to see that &quot;Baghdad Bob&quot; found useful employment in Amercia.

Just a dog whistle way to attack Obama without using the word &quot;uppity&quot;.
Me too. McCain doesn&#039;t bring the hate out of me like the Mitt-Wit. I just can&#039;t tolerate the crowd that McCain hangs out with.
