Fox right now: "Romney looks more like a president than Obama" (The Five)

Honestly, I don't know how I can be surprised at the pathetic mess, but they are so openly and wildly using the race card by repeatedly playing the 2007 video and making comments like this one, that it is frankly disgusting. They seem to think that white people everywhere will be so moved by the vision of "white hope Romney" on the stage next to Obama that they will turn to Romney in droves!

It is disgusting that a "news" network would make comments saying that Romney (the white guy! Or rather the bronzed guy) looks "more presidential" than Obama. How appalling. Of course they are nothing more than a surrogate of the Romney campaign so nothing is shocking at this point.

Just a matter of time until they cross the line. I think they have already. Hannity thinks Romney should make a big deal of Rev. Wright at the debate tonight. Hope Mitt wears his magic underwear if he does so.

4. Exactly. And that's one of the many reasons why they are pathetic (and desperate -- a 2007 video?)

Romney would come out in black face and sing "Mammy" after which he'd drop his magic underwear and moon the audience with his white ass.

8. I think that they need to keep working hard to nail down the racist vote.

You just can't take that group for granted. If Romney loses the election, they won't be able to say that he didn't do enough to solidify his hold with the racists of this country. Keep fighting the good fight!
