Did you think she was criticizing President Obama’s assassination-of-US-citizens policy?

Did you think she was criticizing President Obama’s green-lighting the Geronimo raid on Osama bin Ladin?
Did you think she was criticizing President Obama’s hands-off-the-rebels in Libya?
Nope.
This is what Ann Romney thinks of the Obama campaign defending the White House against her husband:
In an interview with CBS News, Ann Romney, wife of Republican presidential candidate Gov. Mitt Romney (R-MA), has said that she doesn’t believe that the campaign to re-elect President Barack Obama is playing fair, and that their only campaign philosophy is “Let’s kill this guy.”
Yeah, Barack Obama has said that a million times, Ann Romney, in public and in private. Not like your husband, who’s lied over and over again about “the Obama economy.” This isn’t where people “play fair,” Ann — this is a presidential campaign. And if you want to look out for fair play, start at home.
“I feel like all he’s doing is saying, ‘Let’s kill this guy,” she told reporter Jan Crawford while pointing to her husband, “And I feel like that’s not really a very good campaign policy.”
You know, Ann, that’s a pretty incendiary charge against Obama, considering his foreign policy expertise so far is based on, um, actually killing guys. Do you think President Obama really wants your husband killed?

She used to be a pretty awful campaigner, and with the stakes so high, I fear Ann Romney may be reverting to type: poor word choice, impulsive defensive of her husband, mask of satisfied, upholstered wealth insulating her from any reality.
Just because you won a round with the odious Hilary Rosen doesn’t mean America loves you, Ann.
What a lovely couple!
Dysfunctional family much?
Afraid of dad.
Problem for Romney is that his whole political career is based on hiding a bad-driving, simply thoughtless 1968 killing. He drove the wrong way into an on-coming Left Turn lane — still says he was on a 2-lane roadway. Team Lying produced an extravagant, dishonest tale that he and his supporters have sold to major media for his political campaigns for 20 years.
Mitt Romney — fatal accident at Beaulac revisited
Mitt Romney and Bishop Jean Vilnet. Which one of these two men in fact caused the accident that killed Mrs. Leola Anderson?
This was not a high speed collision, but unfortunately Mrs. Anderson did not have a seat belt. She struck the front windshield with fatal effect. Investigation finds an astonishing cover up story. NY Times, Wash Post, Guardian, Boston Globe — all present closely fit versions of this tale in their archives. Photographs there are mislabeled. Names are incorrect. The initial description of the roadway and the impact are inaccurate.
Full name: Bishop Jean-Félix-Albert-Marie Vilnet. Born in 1922.
Photo HERE. Despite that photos exist and Bishop Vilnet is alive, the Romney fanatics deny everything. Imagine if Chappaquiddick had been covered up — that is the story here. “Kill” is the right word.
All theater to distract the masses. Vote republicrat, vote demopublican. It doesn’t matter. Vote your conscience and write in someone you think might actually care.
Then go home and start communicating with your neighbors, building a real community and dropping out of the game as far as is humanly possible.
Localise, localise, localise. Especially energy and agriculture.
“let’s kill this guy”
Ummm…I think this has been the campaign strategy in most presidential elections. I fact I think this has been the strategy in nearly ALL elections.
Ann channeling her inner Sarah Palin/Leona Helmsley? Dog whistle much?
Their hate rhetoric proves this is as false as they are.
They’re the ones calling for “libs/dems” to be exterminated. 180 Degree doctrine in action
Oh, Teddy. (Why can’t you leave Anny alooooone?)
What an ungracious creature she is. (She really, really, really wants to redecorate the WH, doesn’t she?)
New Freaking Everything.
I have to stop, so as not to troll your thread.
Yes, you guessed it, she really pushes some of my buttons. Bad buttons.
Thanks, Bear.
It’d be one thing if Mittens were less eager to kill guys than Obama. But even a cursory glance at Mormon history (Google “Mountain Meadows Massacre” or “Under the Banner of Heaven” for starters) shows that they have no problems with killing people, so long as they don’t get blamed for it.
Hey, PW.
When I read this kind of attack on someone, for some weirdy kind of reason, I think 1) Projection (of how that person thinks) 2) Protesting Too Much and 3) You, Beeotch, trying to not offend our sensitive host – little insidish joke. :) )
Prinzess Ann proves she can rich-rhymes-with-witch with the worst of ‘em. Whoz the candidate anyway? she’s an asset to him, the Repubs say…methinks the GOP doth protest too much.
Classic right-wing strategy: have someone, preferably a woman, play a five-deck shoe of victim cards (see Palin, Sarah).
Sadly, millions of voters are so blindingly stupid as to fall for this ancient ploy.
Hello, Prairie…you and I are having similar takes on this.
Margarita Grande, por favor. That liqueur on the side, please.
:)
Anyone who listens to Ann Romney is too stupid to live. NEXT!
will take mine on the rocks…with strawberries.
all that setup piece with friendly Jan was missing was an Irish setter at Ann’s side. choke collar discreetly tightened, of course.
as contrived as the Politico leak about going to Europe. Visiting some of their secret accts?
Lady, shut the fuck up! what an asswipe she is
Fresh strawberries, jet-skied in from Idonknow where you get fresh ones.
Smug is another word that comes to mind.
hey demi! what it do
i’m still without a question mark key
speaking of s-words, what about that Sankaty fund. Who is/are Sankaty? Grandkid/s? Where are the other funds hiding? More specifically than offshore–that’s a given.
Doin’ jest fine.
Left overs from yesterday, with a few extra sides.
Prairie and I are having tequilla, it seems.
Gonna eat and watch a movie.
Take good care all y’all, and try not to Kill anyone. With words or otherwise.
Thanks again, Teddy.
I think she just didn’t “get” the talking points memo. You know, “blame Obama, dump on Obama.” She has the concept down, like all the lying liars, but she just can’t get the idea across, and clearly, she feels like her husband should be above criticism, in part because he is just a candidate, so nothing is his “fault,” and he can’t of course, be blamed for anything.
I really find the Rmoneys tiresome and despicable. This is the only reason I can come up with to vote, to vote against their kind. Thin tea.
lady is totally, totally out of her league
They really deserve each other, it seems. But scary as well.
She’s Mitt’s little Olympic athlete, don’t ya know?
My feeling exactly. If there’s one offshore fund the Romneys’ financial paperwork hid poorly, how many others are there that are tidily under wraps?
“Hidden Wealth” is Willard’s middle name, not Mitt.
Ann Romney is as incapable as her husband of behaving in any other way than arrogant, aristocratic and privileged. It’s no wonder conservative voters hate them.
I wonder if the Secret Service has opened an investigation into who at the Obama campaign is out to kill Mitt. After all, Mitt’s got Secret Service protection, so I hope Ann passed this tip on to them before blurting it out to CBS.
/s
Ann is just another silly rich woman who has never worked in her life. She has simply produced a lot of Mittbots.
Yes, this. Truth.
I bet it gets old Mitt hard and stuff when Ann defends him.
Here’s Mitt.
That’s just exactly what I’d rather not contemplate, if you don’t mind.
just saw the soundbite of the Rmoneys next to the indoor boat dock and got to wondering … if you count the people houses and the boats houses and the car houses and the warm-blooded Austrian horse houses and the trust-funded sons’ houses, how many houses do the Rmoneys own?
They probably tore down the dog house to quadruple the size for the jet-ski.
You’re on a roll, PS. :)
I bet it gets old Mitt hard and
stuffstiff when Ann defends him.There. I fixed it.
OT, Teddy, but what’s your take on Whitten?
baguette, m’dear, preferably Eric Kayser…
hey, lawrence just showing Mitt’s rich man’s toy … we have one of those types on our lake, too. Wouldn’t think you’d see a Miami Vice cigarette boat on a northern lake.
Give the gal a break. Maybe she’s just afraid her hubby is too stressed out and may succumb to the nasties coming from the O camp.
Annie listen up dear. One thing O is really good at is sending out his kill squads. Just ask Osama and Awalaki. So go easy on this “let’s kill this guy” stuff. You got my meaning?
Gosh, BD, I was thinking the same thing a little earlier.
I mean really. He’s the President.
One call.
PS – Maybe Ann doesn’t read political thrillers.
or she thinks she’s in The Expats*. hmmmm, there’s Ann idea….
The Expats, Chris Pavone. Highly recommend.
Ann wants to imprint an image in the minds of Americans … a Black man attempting to kill a rich white man.
Why ? Cuz it’s worked many times before.
What I’ve noticed about conservatives is that they tend to project a lot. Whenever they accuse the left of doing or wishing to do, there is a pretty good chance that they are trying to do the corresponding thing themselves.
So has the kill list team got him as a threat to the white house. Has O signed off on the kill list yet?
I mean NDAA, cant have some silver spoon fed panty waist terrorizing the government. Is Ann a co-conspirator.
Would we now have to move Gitmo to the Hampton’s?
check the drone list.
why are these republican women even more offensive then the men??
Mitt Romney’s bad driving killed Leola Anderson. Then Romney invented an imaginary “drunk priest” “Albert Marie” to cover his tracks with her family, his family, and Mormon hierarchy. now we’ve found the other driver — alive at 90 years old, Bishop Jean Vilnet.
Is there some reason that the left-center is not taking Romney’s lying hide off for this dishonesty ???
Problem for Romney is that his political career is based on hiding a bad-driving, simply thoughtless 1968 killing. He drove the wrong way into an on-coming Left Turn lane — still says he was on a 2-lane roadway.

PURE PROJECTION! The Reich specializes in this kind of Psycho talk.
Precisely. It’s code for their base. The ignorant and racist majority.
