4. And Romney's father was born in Mexico, where his family had gone to evade US laws

So how much of either an genuine American or a true Anglo-Saxon does that make Romney?

But speaking of dog whistles, has anyone else noticed the Romney ad which says something like "Rebuilding the America we love"? The surface meaning would be taken as a reference to something like economic rebuilding -- but not so far below the surface is the kind of reference to a "real America" that excludes minorities, immigrants, and pretty much anybody who lives in cities.

Creepy stuff.
