Racist liberals think welfare reform is about blacks?
We should not forget that John Harris of the Politico, who asked the stupidest and most irrelevant questions of any moderator during the GOP Primary debates, is married to the former head of NARAL in Virginia.
We should not forget that Jonathan Allen of the Politico once worked for Debbie Wasserman Schultz.
We should not forget that Andy Barr of the Politico left the Politico to go work for the Democratic National Committee.
We should not forget any of this because I do not believe it is any accident that today the Politico has a big story from John Harris about race in the 2012 election.
The welfare attacks came up suddenly from the Romney campaign, which said little about the issue when Obama’s administration changed policy to let states seek waivers on the work requirements. The Romney welfare ads, which have been on heavily in battleground states, prominently feature Bill Clinton signing the welfare reform bill into law. The first ad in the series said that Obama moved “quietly” to “gut” the Clinton reforms so that now, “They just send you your welfare check. … Welfare-to-work goes back to being plain old welfare.”
The welfare ads — regardless of their racial intent — seemed designed to help Romney gain ground on Obama since many independent voters in key demographics, such as swing-state Catholics, tend to view government aid to the poor with suspicion, according to polling data.
Why not an accident that this story appears today?
It comes on the same day the Los Angeles Times runs a story that the GOP is trying to make an all white party look brown, NBC would not show any of the speeches from minorities at the RNC Convention on their website, BS-NBC ditched all minorities during their live coverage of the convention, and Chuck Todd, whose wife used to work for the Democratic Party, says the GOP is pushing a diversity card.
I wonder if any of these people have noticed that the Republican Party has more elected hispanic Congressmen and Governors than the Democrats?
...There is more on other liberal racist narratives here.
...There is much more.
What does it say about Ron Fournier that he hears the line about Mitt Romney’s ad and he himself translates it as “blacks wouldn’t have to work”? What is his presupposition about black people in his interpretation?
...
I don't think they are going to get away with their dishonesty this election. Romney is not going to back down and the conservative media is going to call them on their bias is a way they cannot ignore. Blogs like this one will continue to expose their schemes to help and the dishonesty of their arguments.
