I'm not sure if you know this but there are well known naked pictures of Obama’s mother on the internet, so you really can't be tooooo hard on MKJ for making the joke. His hypothesis has merit!
The only thing I am disputing is it’s very bad form to go around insulting someone’s mother, especially saying that. I’m curious, did your Mother ever teach you it was not acceptable to say something like that in public, or she taught you that was good manners?
By the way, if you found out something that bad or worse about Romney’s mother would you not vote for him? Do you want to be judged by either of your parent’s behavior?
The sad part of this, it shows you what a pathetic state conservatism is in. This never even would have been argued before. Have you ever heard of Ronald Reagan? He would never have said such things, and he would not have tolerated from his staff and supporters. Maybe they can attack Reagan now.
