Axelrod attacks Romney for ‘phony outrage’ over Biden’s ‘back in chains’ line
Washington Examiner ^ | 8/14/12 | Joel Gehrke

Posted on 08/14/2012 3:32:11 PM PDT by Nachum

David Axelrod, President Obama’s top strategist, believes that the reaction to Vice President Joe Biden’s comment that Romney will “put y’all back in chains” if he is elected.

“Enough phony outrage from Team Mitt, while they pour millions into ads that blatantly, brazenly lie about POTUS record on welfare to work,” Axelrod tweeted.

Biden, recalling that Romney wants to “unchain Wall Street,” predicted that such a policy would “put y’all back in chains” during an event in Danville, Va., which has a 48 percent African-American population.

The Romney campaign condemned the comment. “After weeks of slanderous and baseless accusations leveled against Governor Romney, the Obama Campaign has reached a new low,” Romney campaign press secretary Andrea Saul said today. “The comments made by the Vice President of the United States are not acceptable in our political discourse and demonstrate yet again that the Obama Campaign will say and do anything to win this election. President Obama should tell the American people whether he agrees with Joe Biden’s comments.”

Surely this will eventually bite the left in the azz once they’ve dismissed everything as “no big deal”. /s

“Romney’s campaign is going to have to find a new phrase other than “has reached a new low” because Hussein and his team do that everyday.”

How about... “Obama slime”

Romney’s response team is on the ball. And it puts Obama on the defensive.

ABC News tonight spent more time on Biden’s comments than it did on Obama in OH. And they had a very fair spot about Ryan’s Medicare plan which stressed that the plan would not affect anyone over age 55 and that each person eventually would have an average of $15,000 to purchase health insurance in the private market or stay enrolled in the current Medicare system.

You’re basically right, but its also a good strategy to keep them on the defensive all the time.

Perfect!

Their only genuine area of expertise is in deliberate deception and slimey sewer rhetoric.

Hey, Axlehead, you DemocRATS already have the majority of the negro population in chains down on the DemocRAT plantation.

The hyphenated Africans will never leave as the world outside Democrat plantation is strange and unknown to these slaves.

Wrong. Trim Axelrod's mustache appropriately and he is a near dead-ringer for one Adolf Hitler....

Is that photoshopped? Axelrod is looking a little Germany, 1938.

Biden's comment is outright race baiting. It could even be construed as a hate crime if a Republican had said it. If it came from Paul Ryan, there would be riots in the streets demanding he be off the ticket and Romney with him for making such a bad choice.

Biden's comment reminded me of the desperate Al Gore racing across the country claiming Republicans wanted to make blacks 3/5th of a person again while Stevie Wonder played piano.

Don’t think I heard ANY outrage from Romney. Just a matter of fact, measured statement making a valid point.
