THE RIGHT is getting desperate.
Blue Virginia posted on the picture above, which is as virulent as it gets. In one shot over there you can clearly see a George Allen sign for Senate. Though there is no link whatsoever between the campaign and this scurrilous shot, it does draw up the memory of Allen’s past problems with race, with the “macaca” catastrophe the tipping point in his campaign against Jim Webb. Today, Tim Kaine has surged ahead of George Allen, driven by women and the reaction to the GOP’s extreme positions, led now by Attorney General Ken Cuccinelli.
As for the picture below, it was in answer to a tweet campaign of Obama Team staffers, with Jim Messina, the campaign manager who is pictured below, utilizing the moment to blast out a new way to think of “Obamacare.”
Right-wing blog Weasel Zippers decided it was funny to defame Obama’s guy by labeling him a pedophile. Evidently they can’t find a way to mock a horrible picture of Messina without going offensively extreme, while making light of a vicious crime against children, where there is no room for laughter.
Both shots are worth posting, because they come at a demarcation point in the campaign, where Mitt Romney is clearly now losing to Barack Obama.
Desperation is going to mark the right’s campaign against Obama from this point forward, so Democrats should expect the worse.
mitt deserves to lose. and hopefully warrena nd others will win bc of it
He’s run the worst campaign I’ve seen since my brother ran & won in Missouri, which is going back to when I was very young.
That’s how bad it is!!
Warren… Tammy Baldwin is going to be tough, but Obama’s surge could make the difference.
Getting desperate Taylor? Desperate is clearly in the GOP rear view! They are now speeding past panic!
heheheheh….
Mitt Romney is re-candidate! Exactly how many reboots, retoolings, resets, repackagings can one campaign engage in?
When you stoop this low you deserve to lose. They should be ashamed of themselves and I bet they call themselves Christians.
A taylor-made opportunity to strike a blow for common decency……jump in your car and take the short ride down to Manassas. Pull that chair down and on the way out, give those Confederate yahoos a piece of your mind.
We’re behind you (behind our keyboards, that is) 1000%.

Strongly second.
Unfortunately, there is a rank history here with the GOP and these pond scum dirty tricks starting with Nixon’s henchman Donald Segretti who headed up Nixon’s “dirty tricks squad”. Rove worked for Segretti and then for and with Lee Atwater, the master of dirty tricks for George H. W. Bush. The dirty tricks of the GOP has now become a cottage industry with their own zip codes.
And, it usually follows this pattern of rancid racism and unhinged homophobia.
