2012 Today in Unbelievable E-mail Subject Lines

Posted by Paul Constant on Wed, Sep 19, 2012 at 2:55 PM

This is an actual, real e-mail subject line from the Romney campaign:

"Today, The Obama Campaign Leveled False Attacks Against Mitt Romney Based On A Debunked And Selectively Edited Video."

I guess I missed the part where Romney debunked the fundraising video. Seems to me he didn't back away from any of the stuff he said. And as to the "selectively" edited part, which refers to the two minutes missing from between the two videos, I think Dan tweeted it best.

Haha! Suddenly the right doesn't like 'edited' videos? Funny, that.

They'll bounce the lie around in their echo chambers until it becomes fact to them.

I see the Romney campaign is still having trouble reconciling its relationship with "factual evidence." I'm rooting for those two, I really hope they patch things up.

Romney and his entire campaign is a joke. I didn't think Repubs could top Palin/McCain, but I guess they can. It's almost like Romney DOESN'T want to win. But why else would he be running for the Presidency for the last 6 years? Pathetic.

They're trying to set up a "both sides do it" narrative. It will only work if the 4th Estate lets them.

Romney's Homosexuality Exposed ! !

Many people missed the obvious during the republiCON convention (Con-Con). Standing next to that Koch guy was the son-in-law of the deceased former president, Richard M. Nixon, known traditionally as Trickie Dick, Edward Cox.

After Romney, on his way to the podium, stopped to shake Koch's hand, he turned to the next fellow and shook Dick's Cox.

(Obviously, I'm the only brainiac who is capable of thinking this up!)
