What I like about this is that Santorum didn’t worry about the political optics (offending non-Christians) and just went with it. I’m not a Santorum supporter but I do appreciate his authenticity. Santorum is a devout Catholic and doesn’t shy away from his faith.

But as Right Scoop points out, it’s curious that ABC ignored Santorum’s speech in front of these pastors but aired the prayer in full. I think it was the media’s way of showing how strange these “faith people” are. What they fail to realize is that this is only strange to people who live in Hollywood and Manhattan.

This is an excellent documentary about modern day Russia under Vladimir Putin.

Our corrupt Attorney General, Eric Holder, was grilled by House Republicans yesterday over the DOJ’s “Fast and Furious” gun running scandal.

I actually look forward to hearing this stuff now. I’m always amazed at all the new things the asshats on MSNBC come up with to label “racist.” The best one so far this season was when Chris Matthews accused Newt Gingrich of racism for the way he said “Juan” to moderator Juan Williams during a debate.

But now we have a brand new phony racist allegation eminating from MSLSD MSNBC, this one courtesy of Rachel Madcow Rachel Maddow. During his speech after losing the Florida Primary, Newt referenced Obama singing an Al Green at the Apollo Theater recently, and called him the “Entertainer-In-Chief.”

Rachel Maddow says “Entertainer-In-Chief” was actually meant as a racial code word for “minstrel.” It doesn’t quit beat the “Juan” accusation, but it’s pretty good! Another good one this season was when Newt referenced Obama’s love of basketball and that too was labeled racist.

Things that are racist in 2012 (so far):

- Discussing Obama’s love of basketball

- Referring to Obama singing Al Green

- Calling Juan Williams by his first name (white republicans only)

- Discussing the increase in food stamp usage since Obama took office

- Pointing one’s index finger at Obama in close proximity to him

- Criticizing Eric Holder for involvement in “Operation Fast and Furious” (this counts as racist attack on both Holder and Obama)

- The Tea Party

- Fox News (this has always been considered racist)

Mitt Romney doesn’t have much the Democrats can attack him on. He’s rich (which makes him evil since he’s not a Democrat) but that’s pretty much it. However, he is vulnerable if the left is successful in branding him “out of touch.” John Kerry was successfully portrayed that way by Republicans in 2004.

The clip below is precisely the kind of thing Mittens must avoid at all cost. Clear thinking people know full well what he meant, but bad phrasing like this can do real damage. This clip has been making the media rounds all day, and you can count on it appearing in countless left wing attack ads in the coming months.

What he should have said is, “I don’t give a fig about the very poor.”
