I feel like I used to feel when LGF readers would try to defend Rush Limbaugh against charges of racism.

I really don’t get it. Mitt Romney is now TIED with Newt Gingrich in Florida. He saw how Gingrich won in South Carolina, and he and his advisers are trying to get some of that racist buzz, because they saw how the right wing is trending. This is a political calculation — it’s not a coincidence, and it’s not innocent.
