RNC Chairman Says Republican Proposal For $10 Million Of Race-Baiting Anti-Obama Attack Ads Is Obama’s Fault
By Josh Israel on May 20, 2012 at 11:47 am


In an interview on CNN’s State of the Union with Candy Crowley this morning, host Crowley asked RNC Chairman Reince Priebus about a widely-denounced proposal for a pro-Mitt Romney outside group to run millions of dollars in race-baiting attack ads highlighting controversial statement’s by President Obama’s former pastor.

Rather than denounce the proposal or the dangerous of having a small group of rich outside donors and corporations free to spend as much as they want to influence elections, Priebus blamed Obama.

After lamenting that Romney and his party had to spend a day and a half dealing with the fallout from the Super PAC proposal, Priebus told Crowley:

I know how it works. It’s the Democrats and Barack Obama that want the story out there. He wants the story to play out in the media, because for every day that [Obama adviser] David Axelrod and this President don’t have to talk about their broken promises when it comes to jobs, the debt, and the deficit — the more time they can talk about hypotheticals that may or may not come true — is a day they want to win on. So, look, this president’s got a bigger problem and his problem is no matter what he puts out there, no matter what distractions he puts out there, he can’t change the truth and escape the reality of where we are in this American economy. And it’s no good.

1. This is the to be expected double talk nonsense

The real problem is, there are too many Americans who are just ignorant enough to fall for it.

[ailsagirl]

2. well of course it's Obama's fault

I mean, who else's could it be?

[jwirr]

3. Just like they think it is Trayvons fault.

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

4. So let me guess Reince (What kind of sissy name is that anyway?)

You think it's a woman's fault for getting raped because she was dressed provocatively?

[Turbineguy]

5. That's right

Obama should have been born white.

[Angry Dragon]

9. He is white just as much as he is black

[bigtree]

6. The economy has been good to Reince

and his rich, right-wing corporatists looking to buy Romney the White House.

[ArivacaCharlie]

7. Nutty logic

Blaming Obama for race-baiting ads is like blaming the mink for fur coats.

[The Wizard]

8. That can't be his real name

He must be in the witness protection program. He is an assertive liar and the media never challenges him, much like Ari "The Bald Warthog" Fleischer. Why doesn't the media question their prevarications?

[Iliyah]

10. He's a Christian and

they don't tell fibs, really. I barely have any respect for the so called "Christians" of the GOP party of insane. I barely have respect for the Mormom religion as well. Mittens breaths lies upon lies, and this is not the why of the Bible nor Christianity.

"Bare No False Witness"

Every single day, lies, lies, lies, even from the so called "Ministers".

[Proud Liberal Dem]

11. So

now President Obama is to blame for proposed race-bating anti-Obama attack ads too? Seriously? *ugh* WTF? I guess that I now understand why they constantly accuse President Obama of being "polarizing" too.

[edcantor]

12. The outrageous things Republicans say...

never ending truckloads of bull.

[HopeHoops]

13. That guy got daily wedgies in middle school.
