Romney Dog Whistle of the Day

Posted on July 25, 2012 at 9:34 am by Bob Cesca

A Romney adviser leans on the “he’s not white like us” horn:

“We are part of an Anglo-Saxon heritage, and [Romney] feels that the special relationship is special,” the adviser said of Mr Romney, adding: “The White House didn’t fully appreciate the shared history we have.”

Yes, we’re all white and he’s not so he just doesn’t get it. Because he’s part African. So he doesn’t understand that America was once a British colony, etc, etc.

The Southern Strategy is getting louder by the day.

    Yes, Mittens is blowing hard on the whistle. Yesterday on Hardball Spitty played some of the speech and instructed viewers to listen to the last sentence Mitt uttered in which he called Obama corrupt. Of course, African American’s favorite Minstrel Michael Steele didn’t disappoint us when at first he thought Mitt said our “current President” so, Chris played it again and it was clear that he’d said corrupt. Steele never misses a chance to embarrass us. Thankfully Joe Conason was on and he was having none of it. Sadly, I also made the mistake of clicking in on Morning Joe today and Steve Schmit pissed me off when he stated that while Romney’s speech yesterday was terrible, he then stated that the speech he gave at the NAACP was great. As an African American who is NOT LOOKING FOR FREE STUFF, I found that offensive. Of course this is the same douchbag who tried to pawn off the stupidest bitch on the planet as a VP candidate.

      The trick of White Privilege harms us all. It’s kept poor whites who’ve been exploited by the same system that exploits African Americans from recognizing their commonality of interests.

      I don’t even want to get into how many times I’ve heard President Obama was elected because “He’s half-black and the media loved the idea of a first black President.” Forget all of his accomplishments, Harvard Law, Editor of the Law Review, University of Chicago Professor, Community Organizer, State Senator, Senator, and organizing one of the best political campaigns of the modern era. Forget all of that. Forget that he crafted a message that won him more of a percentage of the national vote then Bill Clinton’s first term, and he won in states that have been Republican strongholds. Nevermind all of that.

      It’s because he’s half black. That’s it. And the media did it. Looking for Free Stuff. The fact that a Presidential Candidate would say that to the NAACP today is sad. We’re in a post racial era? Not by a long shot.

        In the interests of accuracy, the “free stuff” comment came the night after the NAACP speech but was related to it.

        He’s still a Class-A dog-whistling douche-nozzle no matter when he said it, mind you.

          Thank you BenAu. You are in fact correct. I appreciate it.

    It’s not a dog whistle if everyone can hear it.

  • chris castle

    Wow. I can’t believe an advisor actually said that.

  • Zen Diesel

    Wow, I am speechless. The Southern Strategy is indeed in full effect.

    ‘Cause, you know, there aren’t any people of the darker skinned persuasion living in Great Britain.

    That’s no dog whistle, it’s blatant racism

    Commenter ‘wiley’ at Roy Edroso’s blog: “His campaign is not using dog whistles, it’s using sirens. He’s black. I’m white. Romney 2012.”
