“Liberals see conspiracy everywhere”

http://www.nydailynews.com/opinion/liberals-conspiracy-article-1.1141457

August 22, 2012

“Take, for instance, the assertion by many on the left that Mitt Romney is a closeted racist, making “dog whistle” comments meant to remind that President Obama is black — in case we didn’t know.”

“Whether it’s Romney’s comments about welfare or his response to Vice President Biden’s overtly racial “chains” comment, the theory goes that Romney is using “coded” language to rally his base.”

“There is glaring double standard at work here. When a Democrat makes a racist comment, it’s a gaffe. When a Republican even hints at race, it’s a dog whistle.”

“But if the conservative base is so inherently and wholly racist, then why the need for code? Romney is trying to win an election. If he knew that being a racist was going to get him the votes he needs, wouldn’t you think he’d forgo the dog whistle for something a little less subtle?”
