re: #257 BryanS

No, but he did insinuate Romney was a felon—his spokesperson made the statements, his campaign doubled down on the meme after Romney called that over the top. No biggie, right? Politics ain’t beanbag as they say.

You’ve completely changed the subject. Was there some sort of racist/xenophobic component to the accusation that Romney committed a felony?

It’s a longstanding tradition to portray your opponent as dishonest, and both sides do it. But I would suggest that there’s a lot more racism and xenophobia coming from the right; the fact that it doesn’t trouble you, and indeed you see it as just “politics as usual” is unfortunate.
