Romney Is Using This Like McCain Used the Backwards B Girl

Remember this? http://journals.democraticunderground.com/berni_mccoy/595

That was during the McCain campaign and it turns out it was a campaign stunt.

I suspect Romney did some back room campaigning deals with Israel. Why else is Netanyahu here trying to politicize the Middle East and get directly involved in the campaign.

I don't think they intended the level of violence they did. I think they intended the release of the movie to create unrest in the Middle East at an inopportune time. But the timing of the release of the movie with Netanyahu's visit and Romney jumping on the event even before an official release all add up to the same kind of political stunt that the Backwards B Girl did during the McCain campaign.

Why else is Romney smirking as he makes his statement politicizing the event?




And I also believe they were waiting until closer to the election (October Surprise) but jumped the gun because Romney's campaign is rapidly imploding. The American Conservative calls Romney's response an act of desperation as well as disgusting. The media is actually seeing through Romney's bullshit and that is encouraging. The fact that Romney is doubling down on this shows it was not a misstatement but part of their campaign strategy.

Let there be no mistake, Romney is a failure of epic proportions. And his reaction to this smells like a bit of Backwards B.

or Netanyahu's visit, then I hope they bring him up on charges of treason. A DUer just noted that MSNBC is saying this is appearing to be a coordinated effort: http://www.democraticunderground.com/10021328521
