Well, you'd think former Governor and Ambassador John Sununu would understand about the immigrant experience, but apparently not.

Let me explain:

Mitt Romney needs to dog whistle to the mouth breathers about how Obama is so very black, and black people aren't really Americans.

So who does he get to do this? Does he go with a supporter who can trace their family tree back to the Mayflower? Does he go with someone who grandparents emigrated from a nice white country several generations ago?

No, he goes with the half Muslim half Hispanic dude who was born in Cuba.

Because the Romney campaign can't even dog whistle correctly.

That's what I get for not reading TFA:

"He has no idea how the American system functions, and we shouldn't be surprised about that, because he spent his early years in Hawaii smoking something, spent the next set of years in Indonesia, another set of years in Indonesia," he said. "And, frankly, when he came to the U.S. he worked as a community organizer, which is a socialized structure, and then got into politics in Chicago."

I take it back. You're a dick, Sununu.

I did. He's a dipshiat.

Now, answer me this. How is attacking Sununu's ethnicity any better?

Is anybody attacking Sununu for having mixed ethnicity? It looks to me more like people are giving him crap because he can't or won't understand how his mixed ethnicity makes him a good American while the President's mixed ethnicity makes him a scary Other.

If what Sununu said was an attack on Obama's ethnicity, then what these people are saying is an attack on Sununu's.

No, that's not what we're doing at all. No one is saying it's BAD to be of Palestinian and Greek descent with roots Latin America. No one is saying that Ambassador Sununu isn't very American.

Look, Sununu was welcomed in farking New Hampshire, which has less coloring than an Irish nun's ass, and he never made a secret of his ethnicity or heritage.

But he's attacking Obama "not being American enough" because of his ethnicity.

This is exactly correct. Calling Sununu a hypocrite isn't attacking him. It's telling the truth.

Sununu wasn't saying it was Obama's ethnicity that didn't make him American. It was that he was raised partially outside of the country and because he smoked weed, and because he didn't grind poor people into paste in Chicago. The "otherness" factor is the result of that, not race. It's still a dipshiat ignorant thing to say.

Screaming racist at every goddamned thing only contributes to the pathetic teabagger persecution complex, and enforces intellectual laziness because it's a handy excuse you can just mindlessly parrot. It's like how the mouthbreathers on the right scream socialism at everything, including their own ideas.

Except, you know, being Cuban-born, Sununu is the same way.

I love the fact that John Sununu, who was forced to resign as Chief of Staff for George H.W. Bush, is a prominent Romney surrogate.

Maybe not to people who understand nuance and such, but that wasn't his audience.

The bottom line is, the Romney campaign tried to dog whistle about Obama being an "other" and can't even do that right.

What the wheezing fark is a "socialized structure," and why is it bad?

Not when "he came back to the US". "When he came to the US". This douchebag is playing to the birther retards by not-so-subtlely implying that Hawaii is not a part of the United States.

Doesn't Hawaii still have a king? That's got to be as anti-American as letting the British crown tax our tea.

Through elementary school at least, right? A couple of years in any case.

I missed that part, actually.

I_C_Weener: With that much money, you'd think they could hire a pro, tighten up the message and at least try to run a better campaign than McCain.

Is he using his own money this time around? I suppose it wouldn't matter since he's been raking in a lot of contributions. It should be interesting to see if he changes staff after the convention when the real campaign begins.

Of course I could be confusing reality with "True Blood" again.

I don't know, but the people from the old guard he is using are losers like Sununu. He needs Karl Rove, or at least someone who can act as the top-down leader of the campaign. Romney is a flip flopper looks a lot more real when even his supporters and staff can't keep their positions straight.

One message on his agenda, every day. One poke at Obama every day. This is the Clinton way. Well, Skeletor from Clinton's campaigns anyway.

They'll have to do better than that.

Remember that when the Clintons were at the height of their power, Obama dismantled the Clinton machine and assimilated it like Obama was the Borg and Clinton was Whoopi "Guinan" Goldberg.
