Looks like the Romney campaign has traded in the dog whistle for a bullhorn.
Via The Telegraph:
In remarks that may prompt accusations of racial insensitivity, one suggested that Mr Romney was better placed to understand the depth of ties between the two countries than Mr Obama, whose father was from Africa.
“We are part of an Anglo-Saxon heritage, and he feels that the special relationship is special,” the adviser said of Mr Romney, adding: “The White House didn’t fully appreciate the shared history we have”.
I am not shocked by this statement – I’ve always known this is what many conservatives believe. What shocks me is how blatant their statements have become.
