Rightwingers are so predictable

Offensive offense is the only defense they have for everything, including and especially after literally being found with their pants down. This almost always includes but is not limited to, charging the opposition with what they are the most if not exclusively guilty of.

We've all seen countless examples of it. The most recent biggy that comes to mind is the way BHO/dems are waging "class warfare".

Quite frankly, the first thing that came to mind when I read about this case, was that their main idea and effort behind the resurrection of Wright was to help alleviate the fear and potential/likely loathing many in their rank ranks have over the Mutt and his Mormonism. What better way to alleviate that burden in significant part than to keep the dialogue focused on some scary black guy instead? That would keep his Mormonism outta sight of the mindless, or in the alternative, present a rather stark "lesser of two evils" choice And for many of them, that would be a no-brainer http://www.slate.com/articles/life/faithbased/2012/03/mormon_church_and_racism_a_new_controversy_about_old_teachings_.html based on a "most like me" standard.


RNC Chairman Says Republican Proposal For $10 Million Of Race-Baiting Anti-Obama Attack Ads Is Obama’s Fault

RNC Chairman Reince Priebus
In an interview on CNN’s State of the Union with Candy Crowley this morning, host Crowley asked RNC Chairman Reince Priebus about a widely-denounced proposal for a pro-Mitt Romney outside group to run millions of dollars in race-baiting attack ads highlighting controversial statement’s by President Obama’s former pastor.

Rather than denounce the proposal or the dangers of having a small group of rich outside donors and corporations free to spend as much as they want to influence elections, Priebus blamed Obama.
