Romney defends insulting Palestinians: Hey, I also said Mexico's culture sucks! And Ecuador's too!
by Jed Lewison

.............................

Romney campaign spokeswoman Andrea Saul on Monday disputed reports of Romney’s comments. “We’ve asked for a correction for his remarks being grossly mischaracterized,” Saul said.


So Romneyland is whining about Mitt's remarks being taken out of context? Now that's rich. And what is the context they wish to point out? Umm:

For instance, the campaign said, after mentioning the per capita G.D.P. of Israel and Palestine, Mr. Romney also said: “And that is also between other countries that are near or next to each other. Chile and Ecuador, Mexico and the United States.”

He is such a tool. I can't believe he's actually allowed into any foreign countries to begin with. He has clearly demonstrated that he is not a stateman, or even a decent guest. We cannot have someone like this running foreign policy.

England
Spain
America
South Africa
Israel

It is the culture of colonialism where the group with bigger guns steals from the other people and either enslaves them outright or does it through apartheid methods.

It's a fucking culture of theft that gets called "hard work" and "enterprise"

At least Bush could be explained away as brain damaged from years of drinking and snorting coke.

All I can say is: "keep it up", there's certainly some group you idiots have yet to insult.
