Obama Campaign: That Mitt Romney Comes From A Strange Family
[RedState.com]
Last week we pointed out the Obama re-election strategy of criticizing his wealth and religion.
After two false starts, one castigating Ann Romney for her decision to be a stay at home Mom — part of their War on Women theme — and another calling into question the reason there is a dog in the White House, one would think that the White House might try to refine their strategy a bit. But the White House is nothing if not consistent.
On Friday they dispatched the hapless Governor Brian Schweitzer (D-MT) to The Daily Beast reprise the War on Women attack and to criticize Romney’s religion.
While discussing swing states, Schweitzer said Romney would have a “tall order to position Hispanics to vote for him,” and I replied that was mildly ironic since Mitt’s father was born in Mexico, giving the clan a nominal claim to being Hispanic. Schweitzer replied that it is “kinda ironic given that his family came from a polygamy commune in Mexico, but then he’d have to talk about his family coming from a polygamy commune in Mexico, given the gender discrepancy.” Women, he said, are “not great fans of polygamy, 86 percent were not great fans of polygamy. I am not alleging by any stretch that Romney is a polygamist and approves of [the] polygamy lifestyle, but his father was born into [a] polygamy commune in Mexico.”
This attack is hilariously wrong on many levels.

Honestly, this story is so mind-numbingly moronic that I don’t even want to write it up. Alas, it’s the meme du jour, so write it up I shall. “Silly season” doesn’t seem to adequately capture the profound stupidity of this “controversy:”
The 2012 buzzword of the day is “caterpillar.” As in RNC Chairman Reince Priebus’s comment that his party isn’t waging a “war on women” — as Democrats claim — any more than it’s waging a war on caterpillars. “If the Democrats said we had a war on caterpillars, and mainstream media outlet talked about the fact that Republicans have a war on caterpillars, then we have problems with caterpillars,” Priebus said on Bloomberg TV. The Democratic message machine has been in high gear on this one, piling on with statement after statement, accusing Priebus of being dismissive of women’s issues.
