Politico, O'Malley & Obama must be racists because they don't think Allen West and Tim Scott are black

8/26/12, "O'Malley: Romney sending 'coded' message," Politico, Alexander Burns

"The governor of Maryland puts out in the open a complaint that other Democrats have grumbled about quietly, and suggests that the Romney-Ryan campaign has begun delivering a racially charged message to voters in the closing months of the election:

"When you have a party that says coded things, that makes totally false ads up, falsely saying the president is trying to undo welfare reform, I think you're going to see a lot of heavily and not-so-subtly coded messages from the Romney-Ryan campaign," O'Malley said on CNN's "State of the Union" when asked if presumptive GOP presidential nominee Mitt Romney was trying to appeal to white voters.

O'Malley, the chairman of the Democratic Governors Association who's emerged as a top surrogate for President Barack Obama and is considered a potential Democratic candidate for president in 2016, said the Republicans have pinned themselves "in a demographic corner" and become a "party of exclusion."...

"The Republicans have painted themselves into a demographic corner, if you will [O'Malley said]. You hear people, like even Jeb Bush, saying that they have to change for the long-term because this view of white, Anglo-Saxon America, 'I'm a true American, no one questions where I was born' sort of thing is very off-putting to us who believe that our diversity is our strength.""...via Free Republic

8/27/12, "Maryland Democrat Governor Accuses Romney of Racism," Breitbart, Wm. Bigelow

"Is there any calumny that Barack Obama and his minions have not tried to use against Mitt Romney? They have accused him of being:
  • A murderer. Remember the Joe Soptic ad?
  • A felon. Remember Stephanie Cutter calling Romney a felon?
  • A man who tolerates those who are soft on rape.
But those slanders weren’t enough. Now the Democratic governor of Maryland, Martin O’Malley, who has ambitions for 2016, has called Romney a racist, and you’ll never guess which site gave him a megaphone to use.
That’s correct: Politico. Here’s the Maryland party hack’s attack:
When you have a party that says coded things, that makes totally false ads up, falsely saying the president is trying to undo welfare reform, I think you're going to see a lot of heavily and not-so-subtly coded messages from the Romney-Ryan campaign. What people are going to see very clearly, simply in the pictures that come in to their living rooms of these two conventions, is a party of exclusion, and a party of inclusion. The Republicans have painted themselves into a demographic corner, if you will. You hear people, like even Jeb Bush, saying that they have to change for the long-term because this view of white, Anglo-Saxon America, 'I'm a true American, no one questions where I was born' sort of thing is very off-putting to us who believe that our diversity is our strength.
For this shill to assert that the Republicans are the party of exclusion is nefarious. It is the Democrats who divide Americans into sub-groups, and then target them separately; it is the Democrats who cry race at the slightest provocation, it is the Democrats who got their president elected by constantly reminding America that he would absolve white America of its collective guilt; it is the Democrats who have crippled the African-American community by encouraging the welfare state.

For O’Malley to paint Romney as a racist at the behest of the Obama Administration is a genuinely evil act. And a man who prostitutes himself and unjustly slanders a good man in pursuit of his personal ambition should be shunned by all those who believe in decency."

========================

Ed. note: I appreciate the article but appealing to decency will just make them laugh and double down. They know a milktoast like Romney won't stand up to them. They also know greasy plutocrat Jeb Bush is always hovering in the background ready to spank Romney.
