Mitt Romney’s First Ad is Based on a Blatant Lie

When did this become acceptable politics?

Mitt Romney’s first campaign ad, titled “Believe in America,” centers around an audio clip of President Obama saying, “If we keep talking about the economy, we’re going to lose.”

An amazingly dishonest audio clip, that is, because Obama was actually quoting the words of a John McCain adviser, talking about McCain’s campaign during the 2008 election. Romney’s advertisement completely leaves out this context to give the impression Obama was talking about his administration.

This is just flat out lying, no matter how you look at it.

Let’s see how Mitt likes it: Mitt Romney In His Own Words (And By His Own Standard).

In every language, the first word after "Mama!" that every kid learns to say is "Mine!" A system that doesn't allow ownership, that doesn't allow you to say "Mine!" when you grow up, has -- to put it mildly -- a fatal design flaw. From the time Mr. Developing Nation was forced to read "The Little Red Book" in exchange for a blob of rice, till the time he figured out that waiting in line for a loaf of pumpernickel was boring as f*ck, took about three generations. ... Decades of indoctrination, manipulation, censorship and KGB excursions haven't altered this fact: People want a piece of their own little Something-or-Other, and, if they don't get it, have a tendency to initiate counterrevolution.
