They just can't help themselves.

Landing strip-shouldered, rubber horse mask-wearing Twit Romney slipped into his white robes yesterday:

In New Hampshire Friday, Mitt Romney stumbled over a line about pinning the nation's melancholy on President Obama that found him scrambling to back away from a quote suggesting Republicans are going to "hang" Obama with America's problems in 2012.

"Uh, so to speak -- metaphorically," Romney quickly corrected, before adding, "you have to be careful these days, I've learned that."

Yeah, it's really a shame you have to be careful about insulting the coloreds these days. Remember when you could hang them for having sex with our white women? Ah, good times.

The first definition of 'hang' listed under Websters dictionary is "to fasten at some elevated point without support from below"- as in "to hang America's probablems on Obama.

Why do you persist in judging people based on the color of their skin? Racism is pretty ugly, and you reveal your inner racism in posts like this. Try to judge people based on what they say, and not intentionally misconstrue what they say through your own ugly racist interpretations.

A Conservative Teacher, you need to revisit American history wherein the "fastening of a rope to an elevated tree branch was the preferred usage of "hang" whether it dealt with horse thieves or "the coloreds". That is a fact, and the usage that was regularly, publicly employed until the last several decades. That is our history, and folks like Mitt Romney, Rush Limbaugh, Glenn Beck, Huckabee, Palin ect. all use that language to bring back "fond memories" of the "good old days" for their followers.

To point it out isn't racist, to ignore it is to condone it.

in other words. hang and black men is kinda touchy. even if it is a metaphorical LYNCHING. even mittens knew that.

after he said it.

A Conservative Teacher would rather we not teach the naughty bits of American history, I guess. You know, when 'the blacks' got lynched, or hanged from trees, for the slightest perceive insult against White Womanhood.

Why do you persist in flushing real history down the memory hole, ACT?

Oh, hell, man, that's not even close to a good try.

I'd remark that you exhibit intellectual laziness and bald-faced dishonesty, but, then, you've already said you are a conservative, so it goes without saying.

I want to know if A Conservative Teacher is sucking at the public teat.

I'm just glad we got the idiot comment out of the way early.

Mitt is right- the debt, the unemployment, the involvment in Libya, the failure to deal with Iran, the sagging economy, the rising inflation- all should be hung around Barack Obama's neck, like a sign, so that we all know that these problems are his failures and the failures of his presidency.

That was the way the comment was intended, and if you are reading that comment any other way, you really should think long and hard about whether it is right to judge people- Obama, Romney, etc- based on the color of their skin.
