Romney backer goes off the rails...

[Joe Republic]

So how is this going off the rails while an Obama ad criticizing Romney's investments as anti-American is considered "Brilliant".   Sununu finally punched back - good for him.  With the schizophrenia in the media these days the MSM won't be talking about Bain in a day or two, in part due to Sununu. As Debbie Wasserman said, stop whining.

News flash for you:  Outsourcing American jobs and hiding your millions in offshore accounts to avoid paying your fair share of taxes is absolutely 'un-American' (as much as I hate that McCarthyite term), whereas aggressive campaigning against your opponent has been part of the American political sphere for about two hundred years.  Deal with it.

In any case, if you read my post you would understand that my point was 1) Sununu's statement was good politics and 2) Politics is rough and his statement isn't "going over the rails". I never said aggressive campaigning was un-american. So yeah, deal with it.

Hey, you're the one who complained that Sununu's attack is being seen as unfair while Obama's is apparently not.  Sununu's statement is being seen as a gaffe because it was hilariously ironic; the Obama campaign's aggressive strategy is appropriately American, whereas the elements of Romney's business and financial activity being focused on are not.  But the gaffe also served the double whammy of inadvertently playing into the sinister insinuations against the president that have been so popular in the GOP.

"Hiding" money abroad and not reporting the income on your tax returns is fraud. "Depositing" money abroad and reporting the income on your tax returns is not. Do you have any evidence that any money was "hidden?"

Until Romney releases his tax returns, we'll never know, will we?  He's obviously hiding something though; that much is obvious from his continuing stubborn obfuscations on the subject.

But what is indisputable is that Romney has been exploiting loopholes to avoid paying the taxes he otherwise should.  Which, while legal, is of course unethical, unfair, and yes, un-American.

What's ironic is that the conservative Republican who called Obama's Americanism into question was born in Cuba to parents who were immigrants from the Middle East. So basically John Sununu was born in a Communist haven to terrorist parents. OMG!

When did Castro seize power? And, when was John Sununu born? But, why let minor details like facts get in the way of a good story?

You obviously missed his point, which was to poke fun at right-wingers' habit of taking Obama's exotic background and distorting it into all kinds of imaginative lies.
