The Romney Campaign and the entire modern Conservative movement is very easy to understand. It is all about race. Full stop. For these people, every election is an attempt to use fear, anger and even hate of brown folks to inspire white folks to vote against their self-interest and support their Galtian overlords.
I'm really hoping this isn't to be taken at face value. I'm hoping there're people in the GOP who hate this kinda shit as much as the rest of us. But I'm really concerned that the ghost of Lee Atwater is setting the strategy, and because it works, that it'll continue apace.
I'm also hoping this isn't simply a knee-jerk reaction from "the left"; that it's not just sitting and taking shots; sniping from the bushes. I don't like it, but I can't just ignore it either.
