Here we go again, Save Jerseyans.
The Left’s proxies are out in full force again to defend their beloved leader President Barack Obama. As expected, they’re willing to do anything and everything to ensure his reelection. With a tight race ahead, the forces of progressivism are utilizing one of their favorite attack strategies: “The Republican is a racist.”
This latest piece of propaganda has been released just ahead of Governor Romney’s speech to the NAACP in Houston. It’s an ad released by a YouTube hub known as The Message attacking Governor Romney not just for the color of his skin but also for his Mormon faith. The religion attack comes on the heels of former Clinton advisor James Carville claiming Romney’s Mormonism will be an issue with voters.
The ad itself is consistent with the left’s portrayal of Republicans as racists who, consequently, are unable to relate to the minority voter. It features a crude satire of Romney’s inner circle, sitting in a circle and discussing how he’ll address the NAACP using the guidance of the man responsible for the infamous 1988 Willie Horton ad and the 2004 Swift Boat Veterans ad. As the ad progresses, it cycles through the typical Democrat-manufactured GOP stereotypes.
So much for the so-called party of civility! And the short ends with the arrival of an actor hired to stand behind Governor Romney and pose as a supporter as he addresses the NAACP.
Once the actor enters the room, the inner circle becomes highly uncomfortable and refuses to make eye contact with him…
The Message is billed as a
…unique mix of entertainment experience, political and messaging savvy, online creativity and distribution expertise, and a journalist’s eye makes it the platform Democrats and progressives need to lift their voices above the Republicans and have a cultural conversation that molds this election cycle and beyond.
Who is behind it? A group headed by a former Media Matters for America president and a New York Times journalist.
The Message continues to state that it will use videos to
…say things that Democrats are afraid to say, connect with young voters-many of whom are alienated by today’s political climate, and give smart and insightful voices an opportunity to contribute to the debate.
Since when were Democrats afraid to call conservatives or Republicans racists? It’s been a staple of the repertoire for as long as I can remember!
The left has attempted to build up this “all Republicans are racists” narrative for many years now. Anyone who has the intestinal fortitude to go after President Obama is deemed a racist regardless of skin color by the cultural judges. It betrays the absolute desperation of the American Left heading into this November’s election. Polls are showing the race is closer than the progressives would like it to be.
The Obama left knows that they are in serious trouble. Romney has outraised Obama in the last two months including raising 35 million more than Obama in June. Obama has nothing to run on that has benefitted the American public. Unless you count the largest tax increase in American history, record high gas prices, a stagnant economy, and Joe Biden as positives in American politics.
It is up to Governor Romney, his surrogates, and the rest of us to continue to push back against this disgusting fallacy. After all, it is the policy of big government to restrict the natural rights of individuals. We cannot let this baseless charge stick to our political party and ideology as America grows into the 21st Century.

Perhaps we should start trying to court the minority vote then? I have seen time and time again factions of the Republican party doing all it can to alienate groups of voters that may actually share a number of things in common with us. Log Cabin Republicans, Black Republicans, Latino Republicans, they all share the same values of conservatism that we do. This is New Jersey, a relatively progressive state when it comes to the Republican Party, why don't we focus on fiscal conservatism and try to court these groups into voting for us? Throw out social conservatism, abortion should not be subsidized but should be allowed, gay marriage shouldn't even be an issue, and creationism makes use of nothing empirically proved. Now fiscal conservatism, that is the big elephant in the room. Court these voters, you would be surprised what you have in common with them.
Thank the maker, I haven't been called racist or something phobic in like 2 weeks. I thought the Moonbats forgot about us.
This Teddy Roosevelt quote sums up how I feel about minority vote courtship in isolation: "There is no room in this country for hyphenated Americanism." The message of individual freedom and fiscal conservatism is what made the Republican Party an American party before being hit by Democrats on divisive issues.
Courting minority voters with an absence of social issues seems misplaced to me. The black community by and large does not agree with same-sex marriage and Hispanics make up an ever increasing population in the Catholic Church. I believe most of the problem lies in messaging and an inability to overthrow 50 years of intolerance toward Republicans. Our messaging must change.
