ABC ^ | 5/17/2012 | Olivier Knox

President Barack Obama's reelection campaign manager on Thursday accused Mitt Romney of expressing insufficient outrage at a conservative super PAC's reported plan for a " hate-filled, divisive campaign of character assassination" against the incumbent.

According to a copy of the plan obtained by the New York Times, the group hopes to highlight ties between Obama -- who is referred to as a "metrosexual, black Abe Lincoln" -- and his controversial former pastor Rev. Jeremiah A. Wright Jr.'s "black liberation theology."

"This morning's story revealed the appalling lengths to which Republican operatives and SuperPacs apparently are willing to go to tear down the President and elect Mitt Romney," Obama campaign manager Jim Messina said in a statement.

Insufficient outrage at a conservative group's plan for a "hate-filled, divisive campaign of character assassination?"

Wait a second, now. Isn't that exactly the kind of campaign that's been run out of the Obama White House, and exemplified by administration programs and activities, since The Anointed One's coronation?

Accusing the other guy of doing it is known in psychology as projection. Or is it the proverbial pot calling the kettle black? (Sorry, that metaphor shouldn't be used because it has "racist" connotations! / Sarc)

Who was it just a week or two ago publicly naming major Romney Donors as Unamerican and working against the President?

Maybe, but I think there will be a big difference between McCain and Romney run their campaigns. Think of it this way: Romney has been groomed from birth to be president, whereas McCain was not. Instead, he was the “maverick”, who always was looking for approval from the other side. So when he ran his campaign, he didn’t want to change his persona. But Romney is fulfilling his father’s legacy. Since Romney is near his goal, do you think he will play nice just to lose it?

"Metrosexual, black Abe Lincoln"

The only thing I see as inaccurate here is, it probably should have said "half black".
