Romney: Rick Perry’s Hunting Camp Is “Offensive”…
Romney’s a douche, he knows the story is BS.
(The Hill) — Mitt Romney said that the racial epithet that served as the name of Rick Perry’s Texas hunting lodge was “offensive” in a interview Monday with Sean Hannity.
“I’ve followed it from afar,” Romney said. “I think it’s offensive. I think most people think it’s offensive.”
Romney joins Herman Cain — who said that the slur was “insensitive” — in denouncing the name of the camp. But Cain backtracked from his criticism Monday after a harsh reaction from the conservative blogosphere, insisting that he was not “playing the race card.”
By wading into the controversy, Romney may also draw the ire of the right. But in drawing contrast with the conservative blogs, Romney may establish himself as more of a moderate while hitting Perry’s ties to inflammatory rhetoric — two themes his campaign will rely on in early primary states like New Hampshire.

The yankee basturd is soooooo presidential.
Screw you
No surprize with Romney coming out on it!
This guy makes my ass want to suck a lemon.
Romney is a turd. What a pandering, opportunist thing to say! Yesterday I got a letter in the mail from the Romney campaign for donations…tonight I ran it thru the shredder.

CBS News: Documents reveal that Holder received briefing on Fast & Furious in July 2010; Update: Holder doesn’t always read his briefings
New documents obtained by CBS News show Attorney General Eric Holder was sent briefings on the controversial Fast and Furious operation as far back as July 2010. That directly contradicts his statement to Congress…
The documents came from the head of the National Drug Intelligence Center and Assistant Attorney General Lanny Breuer…
Two Justice Department officials mulled it over in an email exchange Oct. 18, 2010. “It’s a tricky case given the number of guns that have walked but is a significant set of prosecutions,” says Jason Weinstein, Deputy Assistant Attorney General of the Criminal Division. Deputy Chief of the National Gang Unit James Trusty replies “I’m not sure how much grief we get for ‘guns walking.’ It may be more like, “Finally they’re going after people who sent guns down there.”
The Justice Department told CBS News that the officials in those emails were talking about a different case started before Eric Holder became Attorney General. And tonight they tell CBS News, Holder misunderstood that question from the committee – he did know about Fast and Furious – just not the details.

oops make that day before yesterday (Saturday)…don’t matter, it’s shredded.
Well surprise surprise. I just can’t imagine that Romney would want to capitalize on the race baiting against a fellow Republican.
Wow! That should serve as his death knell.
The term Hunting camp offends the sensitive ears of PETA wackos
Because it worked out so well for Cain.
You’d think someone who worships in the LDS church would be careful making stretched-to-the-max racist connections like this. I don’t see Perry bringing up Mitt’s Mormonism and its history, but you can be very sure the media will, just as soon as he’s declared the nominee. (G_d forbid. Oh, and Michael Steele had to weigh in, too.)
@Zcat
Thanks for the info. I’ve thought Holder to be a worthless fuck since the voter intimidation days with the blackie pussy panthers. In an honest and just world, Holder would be doing 10 to 20.
And of course the name is “offensive”. Does anyone think it isn’t?
But Mitt: Picking up the bloody post to wail on an innocent man is every bit as offensive.
you know what, I really think its the Romney camp that planted this in the Washington Post.
As for Romney, what a P.O.S., didn’t he tie his dog to the top of the car? and when the dog vomitted, he sprayed him off.
If he’s the nominee, fine I’ll vote for him, but no way in hell will I spend 1 second campaigning for him, I’ll do it congressional candidate, but not this POS.
I’m voting for Perry, and if Perry doesn’t win it, I hope Cain does.
At least Cain is backtracking, and I still have faith he will apologize once he knows the facts and that he fell right into the trap by the MSM. As for Romney, what a POS.
Mittens is so Algorish.
I will not vote for that libtard.
Hey Mittens I find your whole campaign as a Republican offensive.
Pathetic. I will not support this Mega-Rhino.
To all you Mitt-naysayers….if it comes down to the Mitt vs. Barry situation….yeah, he sucks, but still, Mitt is 10 times better than Obumbler.
As someone else pointed out–a Mormon has to have a set of brass balls to point fingers when it comes to black people. Until 1978, when Mittens was 31 years old, their church officially believed that non-whites were cursed with dark skin because they offended God and that if they followed the Mormon rules closely enough, their skin would magically get lighter. And black men were barred from holding the lay “priesthood” in their church.
*my comment should have read, “because their ancestors had offended God.” For more information, consult ex mormon dot org!
$1000 says Mitt is the one who released the information about the rock to the press.
On a side note, I wanted to see the rock for myself so I went to Google images and did a search for the controversial word (*igger head) that was on the rock. I never made it past the first couple of images to find the rock. If you plan to go look yourself please note:
***WARNING*** What has been seen cannot be unseen.
Romney sounds so liberal. Oh wait, he parrots what liberal news media have said.

“Dear Mitt Romney: Blacks couldn’t be Mormon priests until 1978 and you find @GovernorPerry’s rock offensive?”
Don’t push it too far Mitt…
good for Cain, he was much more clear on Hannity’s show today, said the word is insensitive, nothing to do with Perry. Very clearly said. Good for Cain.
shame on romney! how long has he been running for president?!?!
When a Republican candidate joins the Left in the politics of race, he’s done for, as far as I’m concerned.
As has been pointed out, EVERY Republican candidate will get the palin treatment.
Palin has been fully vetted; there are no surprises the MSM can pull out onher. They’ve done their best.
Palin for President. Rubio for VP. Make liberal heads explode. Oh, wait, make lieberal heads get headaches- don’t want encourage real political violence there…
How desperate is Romney to gain traction? Who knows but for a lily livered, flip flopping, mormon son of a bitch he has balls to criticize anyone. If I’m stuck voting for the shithead I may move to Australia and just watch this country go to hell while sucking on a Fosters.
@crudcutter
Fosters is brewed at the Miller-Coors brewery, Trenton, Oh.
Barky is done, and we are most likely going to settle for this POS. *sigh*
@ Harold: that’s absolutely right!
I get a kick out of those “conservative” experts around us who join the left and trash Palin, repeating the left’s propaganda about her supposed “shortcomings.”
As I have pointed out to a few of them, it’s got nothing to do with Palin per say. She was just the greatest threat to Obama becoming President in 2008 and so they had to destroy her.
And the second one of those bozos running for President (many of whom have stabbed Palin in the back) gets the nomination; the media’s attacks on him or her will make the 2008 campaign of destruction against Palin look like a walk in the park.
Anyway, the fact that many on our side don’t seem to get this makes me rather pessimistic about the future of this nation.
Oh and to get back to Romney… yeah… let’s say he gets the nomination (I certainly hope he doesn’t)… Mormons better be ready for the “Islam is a religion of Peace” media to trash their religion like no religion has ever been trashed before. It will be a bloodbath. Romney can look forward to all kinds of stories about his faith day in and day out. He will be wishing all he had to deal with was a freaking rock with a word you are not supposed to say on it.
What a moron!
Anyway, don’t worry, in the meantime the media will keep referring to the Saudi pedophiliac warmonger as “THE prophet” and they will keep telling us that you can’t paint all Muslims with a broad brush.
The headline should have read, “White Morman Racist Plays Race Card”.
Romney was asked what he thought of the name of Perry’s hunting lodge..and he said the name was offensive..what did you all expect him to say?
If Perry had just been smart enough to get rid of that silly ass rock years ago it would not have even been an issue. Now every candidate is going to be ask about this and they will be in trouble no matter how they answer.
Did he have anything to say about the murder of Brian Terry, the Ice Agent, and the 200 others killed at the hands of Obama, Holder, and Clinton in Fast and Furious? Obama’s Reichstag Fire? No, it didn’t even come up.
We’re concerned about a word on a rock, that was there when his father leased the place. They painted over it, and turned it over. What is the story here? Is this what we’re to be concerned about?
We have an impostor president, framing Americans, arming the drug cartels with assault weapons, that have killed two Americans that we know of, and 200 Mexicans, and we’re talking about a damn rock with a name on it.
Go away Mitt. Romneycare, and you believe in Global Warming. Trent Lott said you are going to win. Since he works for a lobbying firm that represents GE and Lightsquared, can we assume you can be bought?
As long as the presses two top choices are taking each other out I can care less
Cain/West 2012
NJK:
Romney answered a direct question. He is not the guy who was dumb enough to leave that rock there for some smart ass reporter to find.
As for people crossing the border with guns…I don’t think Perry would stand up to that kind of questioning himself really well. Now would he?
Surprised he didn’t say Perry acted “stupidly”. He and Obama have a lot in common you know.
Two Commandments for the 2012 election:
First Commandment: Anybody but Obuttma
Second Commandment: Anybody but Romney
Follow these Commandments and America will be the winner in 2012.
Shame on Herman Cain, Chris Wallace, and Fox News for falling for the Washington Post race baiting story. I’ve read the entire story and watched the entire Fox News interview with Herman Cain. Everyone involved painted Rick Perry in a negative light. Shame on them. And even bigger shame on Mitt Romney, although I expect it from him.
According to the story, the rock was seen by many people, none of whom did anything about it until Rick Perry and his dad got rid of the offensive word. This was way back in 1983 or 1984 right after they signed the hunting lease. And remember, this rock was on land they didn’t even own. It wasn’t their responsibility, yet they were the only ones who showed good judgement and took action to correct a wrong. And what do they get for their troubles? They get slandered by Herman Cain, Romney, and the media. I think Herman Cain and Romney owe Rick Perry an apology.
The damn world is on fire and this is a story?????
Let’s all take a trip to Fraggle-rock and find out what’s REALLLY going on….
Good ‘ol Mittsky leading from a bunker under a pollster’s office.
What a choice we’ve been given. Just fab-u-lous.
A phony carpet-bagger Masshole/Michiganner or a phony Texas gov that thinks it’s ‘heartless’ to make criminals pay out of state tuition. Throw in an old wannabe Gandolf that keeps saying crazy shit any you do the hokey-pokey and you watch Barry finish us off.
Cain is the only one left that is worth shit. Good luck to him and he will have my vote if he can navigate the turd infested GOP waters to a nomination.
@John
I hate Mittens, but I don’t think I ever heard an apology from Huckleberry Dingbat for going after his religion in ’07. Primary politics are the dirtiest and most sharp elbowed games going. It should shake out a fighter with a thick skin for the general election.
I think Cain needs to leave his pistol in the holster for another nanosecond before he starts shooting from the hip, but he’s still the best in the pack. IMO
OHIO- most beers are brewed locally under license. Very few are shipped around the world . They are available but at a higher price due to transportation.
Now on the rock thing =I got nuttin.
Mitt Romney, YOU LIE!
You’re an obnoxious, duplicitous, and despicable person.
Romney tying his dog to the car roof is a true story. I can’t vote for someone who treats animals so cruelly.

Where is a picture of this rock?
What a jackass.
Other: PPP latest has Herman Cain polling at first in NC, Neb, and WV. Coming in 2nd place is Newt!!!
Bend over and grab your ankles because Mitt is likely to be the GOP nominee.
Perry op research has a couple of bombshells ready to drop on Cain that once out will destroy him and remove him from the race.
Romney for president baby!!!!
All the way.
He’s the only one who can beat O’dumba.
Well, hermain cain gave a terrible answer when he was asked about it- he ain’t ready for prime time (and i like him above the others). romney’s suckiness goes without saying.
RELEASE THE PALIN!
Mittens may as well switch parties – he`s more of a Democrat anyway. He`ll fit right in.
Romney is totally disgusting. He was a jerk in the last presidential election and HE LOST. He has not changed his back stabbing and sleaze he tries to pull on other candidates.
I love how everyone is hanging on every word that comes out of the GOP candidates mouths, as if everyone on here or anyone else would say the perfect thing 24/7/365 with thousands of cameras in your face wherever you go.
Dont we have bigger fish to fry? I dont like Romney, but he and Cain have said the word *igger is insensitive and offensive.
SO?? None of you find the word offensive?
Take a deep breath, GET A GRIP AND MOVE ON FOR F*CK’S SAKE.
So one candidate (A failed one term Gov. of Mass.) uses a campaign strategy that alienates the fastest growing voting block in the US to knock out the Governor from Texas…And another candidate (Never held elective office) basically calls the same governor from Texas a racist over a painted rock and these are the two new front runners?
Sure…WINNING!
Eat a bowl of turds, Romney.
A religion that perpetuates the lie told us by the serpent in the garden offends those who have learned the truth through reading the Bible seeking God.
Not so sure mittens would be ANY better than obama. Fuck em both.
Something about that picture reminds me of Lurch Kerry.
Why is it, as much as loathe the current administration, that I am thinking more and more of not voting if this douchecanoe is the nominee?
