If Pres. Obama practically bullies Romney, he'll win his debates
Sure, the Republicans will bitch and moan and accuse the Prez of finally being that "Scary Negro" that they've invented for their racist brain donors.
But Joe set the precedent, if the Prez treats Romney in the exact same way, by using that fucking "Scary Negro" accusation against him, it would be a tacit admission of their own virulent racism.
Sure, Republicans love their double standards, but there's nothing worse to them than calling out their racism.
So, it's simple: The Prez gets aggressive and attacks all of Romney's lies, throwing him offguard. The Right reacts with all the indignation that they can muster, but once they whip out the "Scary Negro", they lose.
Simply point out to them that Joe treated Ryan the same way, so why is the Prez treating Romney any different?
If the Prez meets his supporters' expectations and gets rough with Romney, it will be crystal clear that last night's debate has set the stage for giving the Prez the additional leeway that he needed to combat the "Scary Negro" meme.
And THAT'S how you drink a milkshake.
