He has said he is sorry for sending it, but this early front runner for Worst Tweet of the Year demonstrates how foul the anti-Newt rhetoric is becoming among Romney supporters on Twitter:
@keder
"Next up: Gingrich blames the Jews."
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
@walterkirn
"With the nature of the charges against him, I'm just thankful Romney isn't Jewish. But watch out, Mormonism."
What the hell is going on? Is this the new defense, that because Romney’s financial practices are criticized we’re one step away from anti-Semitism?

Romney can dish it, but doesn’t take it very well does he? He’s the white Obama.
Laughable isn’t it...! Just look at all the “so called” conservaties that have come to the defense of this corrupt crony captialist. Rush Limbaugh, Mark Levin, Shawn Hannity, Ann Coulter, the list goes all.
What payoff did these folks get from the establishmet for their support for the corrupt Mitt Romney and Bain Captial.
Maybe Rush will use his tarnished and fading EIB microphone to tell us how much he was paid to surrender his conservaitve principles. Was it another night in the Lincoln Bedroom? Or, what it somethig more....?
Carefull there, Swampfox101, I’ve come out pretty strong against Rush and the others you’ve named also and have felt the rath from the non-beleivers here. People give Rush a blind allegience. Mr. “right 99.9% of the time” is so off the mark on Romney that it makes me sigh.
You almost wonder if people like Rush and the others want Romney so they can bitch and moan when Obama wins a second term.
Yeah, I know, I’m wrong, Rush is not for Romney...I say BS to that.
PS-Who has Mark Levin endorsed?
Not sure of the source, but someone on another thread posted that Rush’s Syndicator, Clear Channel, is owned by Bain. Don’t know if that’s relevant because I don’t think Romney is even associated with bain anymore.
The long and short of it, however, is that there is a hundred reasons to oppose Romney that have nothing to do with his business career and focusing on Bain is just a way to load Obama up with ammo to use against Republicans later, even if the candidate is not Romney!!!!
I listened to Rush yesterday, and he came out and said “here’s how Mitt should respond to the super PAC ads.” He went on to say that Mittens (my word) will mess up and let others fight his battles, which shows a weakness. I still think Rush is for Gingrich or Santorum, but can’t say it.
Obama is already loaded for bear on the Bain relationship. This could give Mittens a “Cintonian pass” by saying “Bain was covered in the primaries - that’s old news.” If the presstitudes buy into the “old” news thing, they might prove to to be tired of covering for Obama. But, then again... we know who/what the press is for... Obama/Socialism.
Listening to Levin from last night, he came awfully close to endorsing Rick Santorum.
Where I strongly disagree with Levin is his statement(s) that he will end up supporting whomever the Republican nominee is. I will not support Romney under any circumstance.
So many of our Conservative voices are critical of the Romney/Bain attacks, as if it is out of bounds to criticize the record of the candidate. Some would argue that we should be focusing only on his political career. Many of these same voices were upset that the media (on the whole) ignored Obama's past when he ran in 2008. Yet now we're supposed to ignore much of Romney's past? To me, I believe that all of Romney's record should be examined, as the more his past is scrutinized, the more apparent it becomes that there is a very blurry line between his political past and his private business past.
One possibility could be that Bain Capital is a primary owner of Clear Channel. As Rush likes to say, "Follow the money."
I’ve always wondered why Obama never tried to use “Community Organizer” during the first campaign. He worked for Catholic Charities putting together job training ptograms for the recently unemployed among other things. If Bain is going to be an issue, your going to see ad after ad of a young Obama with his shirt sleeves rolled up, helping the down-trodden victims of corporate greed. Of all of the reasons to vote against the Mittster, the best is that they have been preparing to run against him almost as soon as Obama won in 2010.
Rush Limbaugh has a powerful influence even without endorsing anyone. He has done a great amount of damage to Newt Gingrich with his recent criticisms and he has helped Mitt Romney. He accused Newt of sounding like the left but his willful ignorance and implied support of Romney is no different than the leftist media he claims to despise.
As a long-time fan of Rush Limbaugh, I am deeply disappointed. It's not about the principles of capitalism; it's about obtaining wealth in a socialistic way. (taking from the rich to give to the poor)
Good point, always follow the money trail.
“The long and short of it, however, is that there is a hundred reasons to oppose Romney that have nothing to do with his business career and focusing on Bain is just a way to load Obama up with ammo to use against Republicans later, even if the candidate is not Romney!!!!”
I disagree, we should never surrender our principles like Rush and others have for political reasons.
Not sure but he has jumped on Rush Limbaugh’s bandwagaon of promoting, defending, and cheerleading for the corrupt crony captialist Mitt Romney and Bain Capital.
