Republican presidential nominee Mitt Romney sank to new lows when he referenced President Obama’s birth certificate Friday during a campaign rally in Commerce, Mich. Those low depths are the trajectory of his lowbrow political antics.
But now we have this news: According to the Huffington Post and

(Scott Olson - Getty Images) CNN, two attendees at the convention in Tampa were asked to leave the Tampa Bay Times Forum on Tuesday after throwing nuts at a black CNN camerawoman and saying to her: ”This is how we feed the animals.”
CNN reported that multiple witnesses saw this happen, and police immediately escorted the two people out. But the damage has been done.
Who knew low could get lower?
