Title: New Romney Spokesperson Draws Scrutiny For Insulting Women On Twitter

The Romney campaign announced the appointment of a new foreign policy spokesperson on Thursday, and the appointee has already come under fire for what Think Progress describes as his “odd penchant for targeting the wives of male politicians and women in general on Twitter.”

According to Judd Legum and Alex Seitz-Wald, Richard Grenell, who formerly served in the Bush administration, “has gone after Hillary Clinton, Michelle Obama, Callista Gingrich, Sandra Fluke and others. He also asserted that President Obama’s children should be fair game for political debate.”

Grenell appears to be particularly bothered by Rachel Maddow, whom he apparently finds insufficiently feminine. The tweets assembled by Legum and Seitz-Wald include one from a year ago saying, “rachel maddow needs to take a breath and put on a necklace.” A current one snarks, “Forced to watch #msnbc on gym tv. The Rachel Maddow commercials can’t possibly attract any viewers, aside from Bieber fans #DeadRinger.”

Grenell’s dislike of Maddow doesn’t appear to be ideologically-based, however, since he has also been going after Callista Gingrich, recently tweeing, “Calista [sic] stands there like she is wife #1" and “do you think callista’s hair snaps on?”

At the same time as Grenell is throwing fuel on the fire of Romney’s problem with women, another campaign adviser isn’t doing Romney any favors when it comes to Latino voters.

In recent days, the Romney campaign has tried to distance itself from Kansas Secretary of State and anti-immigration activist Kris Kobach by insisting that he is merely a “supporter” and not an “adviser.” According to Think Progress, however, a email sent by a Romney spokesperson to CNN on Friday did call Kobach an”informal adviser.”

This is significant because, as Talking Points Memo explains, “Advocates for the Latino community and Democrats have said that Romney’s ties to Kobach — an architect of anti-immigration laws in Arizona and Alabama — are a poison pill that makes connecting with Latino voters all but impossible. ”

Kobach himself has continued to insist that he is not only advising the campaign but fully expects Romney to support the use of Arizona’s draconian SB-1070 anti-immigration law as a national model.

Romney is eager to gain the support of Latino voters, who are often conservative on social issues, but he has also worked hard to woo the far right anti-immigration forces represented by Kobach. As Talking Points Memo sums up the situation, “How Romney’s [sic] splits the difference is a big storyline moving forward.” Subscribe to *Tea Party On Parade*

The Obama Campaign Should Be Hitting the Panic Button

www.usnews.com/opinion/bl...-hitting-the-panic-button

The conventional wisdom is that the election is President Obama's to lose, but after the week he's had, if I were his Chicago campaign office I'd be hitting the panic button.

Three out of the five major polls released this week (CNN, Pew, and NBC/Wall Street Journal) had the president leading former Gov. Mitt Romney, but only by single digits. The fourth (CBS/New York Times) was a tie, and the fifth (Gallup) had Romney ahead by five points. And that was after the bruising Republican primary season. You'd think the president would be heading into the summer with a double-digit lead, based on his "likability" numbers.

First Obama plays the race card, now the sex card, tomorrow the gay card?

Obama's watch stopped on 24 May 2008, but he's been too busy smoking crack to notice.

LOL.

You really need to get a better playbook. You're committing the unforgiveable sin of BORING me.

Disinformation Tactic #4. Use a straw man.
Find or create a seeming element of your opponent's argument which you can easily knock down to make yourself look good and the opponent to look bad. Either make up an issue you may safely imply exists based on your interpretation of the opponent/opponent arguments/situation, or select the weakest aspect of the weakest charges. Amplify their significance and destroy them in a way which appears to debunk all the charges, real and fabricated alike, while actually avoiding discussion of the real issues.

Disinformation Tactic #5. Sidetrack opponents with name calling and ridicule.
This is also known as the primary 'attack the messenger' ploy, though other methods qualify as variants of that approach. Associate opponents with unpopular titles such as 'kooks', 'right-wing', 'liberal', 'left- wing', 'terrorists', 'conspiracy buffs', 'radicals', 'militia', 'racists', 'religious fanatics', 'sexual deviates', and so forth. This makes others shrink from support out of fear of gaining the same label, and you avoid dealing with issues. Disinformation Tactic #6. Hit and Run.

In any public forum, make a brief attack of your opponent or the opponent position and then scamper off before an answer can be fielded, or simply ignore any answer. This works extremely well in Internet and letters-to-the-editor environments where a steady stream of new identities can be called upon without having to explain critical reasoning -- simply make an accusation or other attack, never discussing issues, and never answering any subsequent response, for that would dignify the opponent's viewpoint.

Now, you can return to what you're meant to do: be a sperm receptacle.
