President Obama’s campaign is looking to seize on a pair of controversial comments by supporters at Mitt Romney’s town hall meeting in Cleveland Monday, calling on the presumptive Republican nominee to “stand up to the extreme voices in his party.”
“Today we saw Mitt Romney’s version of leadership: standing by silently as his chief surrogate attacked the President’s family at the event and another supporter alleged that the President should be tried for treason,” said Obama spokeswoman Lis Smith in a statement. “Time after time in this campaign, Mitt Romney has had the opportunity to show that he has the fortitude to stand up to hateful and over-the-line rhetoric and time after time, he has failed to do so. If this is the ‘leadership’ he has shown on the campaign trail, what can the American people expect of him as commander-in-chief?”
Is this really the ground Team Obama wants to fight on? The president launched his political career in the home of a pair of unrepentant terrorists, Bill Ayers and Bernardine Dohrn. Dorhn spent a decade on the FBI’s most wanted list, but she wasn’t too radical for Bam. He knowingly hired a raft of radicals to staff his administration and kept them away from congressional scrutiny by making them czars or putting them in positions where Congress had no say. Van Jones is an open communist and 9-11 Truther, yet Obama hired him to be the “green jobs” czar. Anita Dunn admires Mao Zedong, yet found work in Obama’s communications team.
And then there was Kevin Jennings, Obama’s repulsive “safe schools” czar.
Last week, another Obama appointee, Al Armendariz, resigned when he made headlines for setting himself up as the administration’s crucifixion czar.
Obama didn’t silence any of these people. He put them on the government payroll.
But Mitt Romney should shout down every person who says something colorful within earshot of him?
The Obama campaign is desperate if they think anyone outside its faithful is going to buy any of this.






What do you expect from a pig but a grunt? What do you expect from Obama but more hypocrisy? It’s time for him to go.
To paraphrase the words of Jeremiah Wright, Americas President’s chickens are coming home to roost.
Stick to the message Mitt. It’s still the economy and we’re not stupid.
I think it can be safely said that a President who conspires to allow illegal foreign nationals into America on the doubleplusgood assumption they’ll further pare down the percentage of white people via the racist code word “diversity” and also vote Dem is a traitor.
I absolutely agree with you. Obama certainly is a traitor. I don’t know what the family comment was, but I can think of several that would be appropriate, squandering tax dollars on repeated lush vacations would be one.
The off-mike comment to Medvedev qualifies in my book. If that’s the tip of the iceberg, imagine what’s below the surface.
– that Barack will ask SNL to stop running skits that laud him while attacking Gov. Romney.
…Rebuke the New Klux Panthers…
I was at this town hall meeting on Monday. It was great. Mitt was at his best. No canditate at this type of forum can prevent an off message shout out and it should be ignored.
let’s remind our resident kenyan that we have seen the computer experts take his “scanned” documents apart using the same computer program somebody used to create them. sheriff joe is looking for that individual. let us also remember and remind his ‘genius’ followers that barry-o put an honorable man, a decorated war hero (and better man than this pompus puss), a colonel/doctor in prison and destroyed his life, for doubting the documents were true. now we see they really were forged. no, we are not as stupid as the sheeple who shy away at a little name calling. we are just waiting for some real justice, and treason sounds just about as close to justice as i have heard yet.
oh, and we havent forgotten the masses of murdered Americans and Mexicans his stupid gun running to drug cartels caused. he will be lucky if treason is the only charge he faces once dethroned. he is playing this game because he wants romney’s assurances that he won’t prosecute him once elected. he should have thought of that when they were devising all these corrupt schemes.
personally, i can’t wait until honest folks start looking into where he spent all that tax payer $$$. yeah, somebody better catch him and holder going out the door if we plan on getting any justice, or any of our missing $$$ back.
if i were one of the people he personally went after by using his high office, i would be demanding some real justice once he again becomes a private citizen. maybe put a hold on his $$$, until he comes clean. yeah, this picking at romney tells me he is starting to believe he may not be able to steal the next election; and, that is very good news.
We are just at the beginning. It will be far nastier before we get to November 7, 2012. Even then, 0 may try to “win” the election. Never let down your guard. The Dems play for all the marbles; the method of getting them is totally irrelevant to the goal – win at any cost.
Nothing that a quick 30 second video couldn’t resolve – Obama’s spokespersons attacking Romney, then the voice overs about Ayers, Jones, Dunn, Muslim Brotherhood, Releasing Taliban prisoners, etc.
Execellent idea, Mr. President. Why don’t you start with some extreme voices in your party, such as Al Sharpton and Jesse Jackson, and then I will follow suit.
Too bad there’s no hashtag for this speech, or Jim Treacher would already be having a field day with it.
I just can’t understand the so-called ‘analysts’ who work for the MSM. Back in
January they were telling us that there would be a deadlocked Republican convention. Then in March they were saying that even if Romney won the nomination it would be so tarnished as to be worthless.
Now in may they are blathering about how the fall election will be very close, but that President Obama should win in a squeaker.
Of course, in reality, 6 months out we have a President beloved by the MSM, campaigning non-stop for re-election since November of 2010 (except when he was personally killing OBL :-{), having spend hundreds of millions for his re-election bid, now being BEHIND a one-term Republican former Governor of,
arguably, the most liberal state in the Union.
Is the MSM nuts?
To any objective observer it appears that all Romney will need to do for the next 6 months is smile, wave and ask ‘are you better off now than you were 4 years ago?’ and win a massive victory.
So, again I ask, why won’t the MSM tell us which ‘happy pill’ meds they must surely be abusing?
Romney should announce that he has decided to follow Obama’s advice, and then give a harangue about Jeremiah Wright, Bill Ayers, Van Jones, Anita Dunn, Valerie Jarrett, and Eric Holder, and all those OWS idiots.
He should then conclude by thanking “Barry” for the suggestion, and inviting him to submit some more.
How about O’pression distancing himself from the Union thugs…”Let’s take ‘em out!” and other such violent and threatening rhetoric.
With so many thoughtful, intelligent, and reasoned voices here on the Right, it is surprising that more Americans do not join in this esteemed and wonderful discussion.
The Left may have many things, but for thoughtful analysis that truly sways both rabid radical right wing conspiracy theorists and stay at home impotent white guys crippled by pornography addiction into a blind hatred of the BBM they know their putative wife would seek for “real” pleasure, you cannot top PJ.
Every comment here is mini-Mencken, and the general level of hate-filled bile and sheer powerlessness must truly sustain these care and shrewd observers as they wait for FOX to tell them what to think. FOX decides and you parrot, so prettily–but very manful in your implied violence.
Mega dittoes, hedonist four time Family Values Sex Tourist Drug Addict!!! We will settle for the rich guy who believes Jesus will return to America where he wandered after the Crucifixion. Beliefs are important….
*slow clap* Bravo! You are the wittiest commenter that you’ve ever met. Dressing up your rant as some sort of stream-of-conciousness musing was a nice touch. But the fact of the matter is that you’ve got nothing. Now here’s your participation trophy. Thanks for playing…
I suppose Romney can make the point that Obama has asked him to rebuke extremists, and Romney can do just that:
Bill Ayers, the terrorist who wrote Obama’s book should not have murdered people with bombs.
Van Jones, the communist-truther should stop supporting the communist ideology that murdered tens of millions, and should also stop giving cover to Islamic terrorists by blaming Bush like the crazy truthers do.
Reverend Wright should not blame the US for murders committed by Islamic terrorists.
Ect, Ect.
TomCJ,
Do you think anyone that isn’t themselves a far left extremist is going to see anything that describes “hate filled bile” as well as your own post in this thread? I don’t watch much Fox, but even if I did, I’m not sure why that would be worse than being a paid lackey of An ex Nazi collaborator like George Soros.
after winning a college musical competition, my mentor imparted to me that “it was hard enough getting there but twice as hard staying there!”…something i believe mr obama is finally experiencing firsthand at the mercy of the voting public at large
WH official is quoting Marx more at the link
“A senior Obama administration official defended the efficacy of “class warfare” on his personal blog Monday by quoting the political philosopher and communist theorist Karl Marx”

This is yet another example of how the left and their foot soldiers in the MSM have not yet fully internalized the fact that they no longer own the megaphone. Just as with the attacks on Ann Romney and Mitt’s dog, this too will backfire on them.
