8/28/12, "CNN Asks If GOP Holding Convention Tuesday Is 'Appropriate'," NewsBusters, Matt Hadro

"CNN's John Berman, reporting live from the floor of the GOP convention, asked a Louisiana delegate if it wasn't "inappropriate" for the Republican Party to continue the convention on Tuesday night with Hurricane Isaac set to make landfall in Louisiana.

"There's been a lot of talk about whether it's appropriate at all for Republicans to be having this convention tonight, these festivities. Do you feel like there's any issue there?" he asked. [Video at link]

"So this isn't inappropriate in any way, what's going on," Berman followed up. The delegate answered

• "No, not at all.""

LA Mayor Villaraigosa says Republicans 'can't just trot out a brown face'

"Los Angeles Mayor Antonio Villaraigosa said that Republicans "can't just trot out a brown face" to make inroads with the Latino community, an increasingly important growing bloc.

As the GOP prepares to showcase some of its rising Hispanic stars during the next two days of its national convention, the Democratic mayor dismissed Republican overtures toward Latinos as insincere.

"You can't just trot out a brown face or a Spanish surname and expect people are going to vote for your party or your candidate," Villaraigosa said at a press conference here organized by the Democratic National Committee."...via Pat Dollard

"Mia Love, the mayor of Saratoga Springs, Utah, and a U.S. House candidate, addresses the Republican National Convention in Tampa, Fla., on Tuesday, Aug. 28, 2012."

8/28/12, "Utah’s Mia Love Gets Enthusiastic Reception in Tampa," WSJ

"African-American support for the Republican Party has fallen so far that a recent Wall Street Journal/NBC News poll showed Mitt Romney capturing 0.0% of the black vote.

Enter Mia Love, the 36-year-old daughter of Haitian immigrants and a Republican congressional candidate in Utah. Should she win, she would be the first-ever black Republican woman to win a seat in Congress.

In a speech that drew sustained applause at the GOP convention Tuesday night, Ms. Love recounted her parents’ journey to the U.S., saying they arrived with only $10 in their pockets.

“The America I grew up knowing was centered in self-reliance and filled with the possibilities of living the American dream,” said Ms. Love, the mayor of Saratoga Springs, Utah.

She made apparent references to civil-rights icons Rosa Parks and Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. “Our story has been told over 200 years, with small steps and giant leaps, from a woman on a bus to a man with a dream,” she said.

Ms. Love, a staunch conservative who converted to Mormonism, is challenging Democratic Rep. Jim Matheson, a six-term incumbent. Cook Political Report rates the race a tossup, and Ms. Love’s exposure on Tuesday night could give her a boost." via Drudge

"A notary in the Brazilian state of Sao Paulo has sparked controversy by accepting a civil union between three people.

Public Notary Claudia do Nascimento Domingues has said the man and two women should be entitled to family rights.

She says there is nothing in law to prevent such an arrangement.

But the move has angered some religious groups, while one lawyer described it as "absurd and totally illegal".

The three individuals, who have declined to speak to the press, have lived in Rio de Janeiro together for three years and share bills and other expenses.

Ms Domingues says they have already opened a joint bank account, which is also not prohibited by any law."...

8/26/12, "O'Malley: Romney sending 'coded' message," Politico, Alexander Burns

"The governor of Maryland puts out in the open a complaint that other Democrats have grumbled about quietly, and suggests that the Romney-Ryan campaign has begun delivering a racially charged message to voters in the closing months of the election:

"When you have a party that says coded things, that makes totally false ads up, falsely saying the president is trying to undo welfare reform, I think you're going to see a lot of heavily and not-so-subtly coded messages from the Romney-Ryan campaign," O'Malley said on CNN's "State of the Union" when asked if presumptive GOP presidential nominee Mitt Romney was trying to appeal to white voters.

O'Malley, the chairman of the Democratic Governors Association who's emerged as a top surrogate for President Barack Obama and is considered a potential Democratic candidate for president in 2016, said the Republicans have pinned themselves "in a demographic corner" and become a "party of exclusion."...

"The Republicans have painted themselves into a demographic corner, if you will [O'Malley said]. You hear people, like even Jeb Bush, saying that they have to change for the long-term because this view of white, Anglo-Saxon America, 'I'm a true American, no one questions where I was born' sort of thing is very off-putting to us who believe that our diversity is our strength.""...via Free Republic

=============================

8/27/12, "Maryland Democrat Governor Accuses Romney of Racism," Breitbart, Wm. Bigelow

"Is there any calumny that Barack Obama and his minions have not tried to use against Mitt Romney? They have accused him of being:

• A murderer. Remember the Joe Soptic ad?
• A felon. Remember Stephanie Cutter calling Romney a felon?
• A man who tolerates those who are soft on rape.

But those slanders weren’t enough. Now the Democratic governor of Maryland, Martin O’Malley, who has ambitions for 2016, has called Romney a racist, and you’ll never guess which site gave him a megaphone to use.
That’s correct: Politico. Here’s the Maryland party hack’s attack:

When you have a party that says coded things, that makes totally false ads up, falsely saying the president is trying to undo welfare reform, I think you're going to see a lot of heavily and not-so-subtly coded messages from the Romney-Ryan campaign. What people are going to see very clearly, simply in the pictures that come in to their living rooms of these two conventions, is a party of exclusion, and a party of inclusion. The Republicans have painted themselves into a demographic corner, if you will. You hear people, like even Jeb Bush, saying that they have to change for the long-term because this view of white, Anglo-Saxon America, 'I'm a true American, no one questions where I was born' sort of thing is very off-putting to us who believe that our diversity is our strength.

For this shill to assert that the Republicans are the party of exclusion is nefarious. It is the Democrats who divide Americans into sub-groups, and then target them separately; it is the Democrats who cry race at the slightest provocation, it is the Democrats who got their president elected by constantly reminding America that he would absolve white America of its collective guilt; it is the Democrats who have crippled the African-American community by encouraging the welfare state.

For O’Malley to paint Romney as a racist at the behest of the Obama Administration is a genuinely evil act. And a man who prostitutes himself and unjustly slanders a good man in pursuit of his personal ambition should be shunned by all those who believe in decency."

========================

Ed. note: I appreciate the article but appealing to decency will just make them laugh and double down. They know a milktoast like Romney won't stand up to them. They also know greasy plutocrat Jeb Bush is always hovering in the background ready to spank Romney.

8/27/12, "Will Powerful Media Re-Elect Obama, Subverting Will Of The People?" IBD Editorial

"Media Bias: The major media in past elections have veiled their pro-Democrat bias. But in this race they've become so militant there's a real risk the election may be rigged for President Obama.

NBC launched its coverage of the GOP convention by essentially accusing Mitt Romney and the GOP of having a racist agenda to oust a black president.

Sitting in the Tampa arena next to NBC veteran Tom Brokaw, MSNBC host Chris Matthews on Monday came unglued while "interviewing" Republican National Committee Chairman Reince Priebus.

The hateful invective spewing from his lips was shocking. At times he looked as if he would leap out of his chair and grab Priebus by the neck.

Matthews charged that by pointing out that more Americans than ever now have to resort to food stamps under Obamanomics, Romney was "playing the race card." "You can play your games and giggle about it, but the fact is your side is playing that card," Matthews fumed. "When you start talking about work requirements (for welfare), we know what game you're playing, and everybody knows what game you're playing — it's a race card."

Matthews, whose wife, Kathleen, gave $4,600 to Obama's 2008 campaign, then lectured Priebus that it's the Republicans who are "running a negative campaign." He called RNC ads "garbage."

Then he leaned forward and glowered at the GOP official, who was taken aback by the assault: "You can chuckle about it, Mr. Chairman, because you have to flack this issue, but the fact is you know what's going on."

Astoundingly, Brokaw, the veteran "newsman," did not try to restrain his rabid colleague. Clapping could be heard off-camera.

This was not a Democrat venue. NBC dropped this stink bomb on GOP turf during an official GOP celebration. Never before have we witnessed such palpable bias exhibited by a major media personality in such an official setting.

Such advocacy journalism is also on display in the major print media. The departing New York Times ombudsman, writing last week in his final column, admitted Times staffers are so in the tank for Obama and Democrats that their leftist advocacy "bleeds through" into their coverage.

Times public editor Arthur Brisbane called the paper's newsroom "a culture of like minds." The same could be said for the entire old media still controlling campaign coverage.

They say this race is Romney's to lose. Yet the elite are not only rooting for him to lose, they are actively sabotaging his campaign. Big media polls have been caught oversampling Democratic voters. And all three presidential debates will be hosted by like-minded liberals, including known GOP-hater Candy Crowley of CNN. Fox was snubbed.

If the major media won't give a Republican presidential candidate a fair shot, what does that say about our democratic process? Are voters really participating in a free election if the media elite are rigging it for their candidate?" via Lucianne

==================================

8/27/12, "RNC: Chris Matthews attack 'outlandish'," Politico, Dylan Byers

"At the end of the exchange, Priebus finally conceded, “I’m not going to get into this argument with Chris."

When Matthews — who had no intention of letting the chairman get a word in — shot back, “Because you’re losing, that’s why," it was in keeping with the playground bickering that had characterized his entire attack."...

===================================

Ed. note: The media does what they do because no one will stop them least of all GOP/Rove. GOP/Rove loves the media. Establishment Republicans couldn't care less about this country and despise ordinary Americans (see Jeb Bush). GOP/Rove expects Obama to be re-elected and are fine with it. They're looking at 2016. Romney's just running now to get a head start on 2016. He insists Obama's a "nice guy." IBD should be advised that Brokaw is as sick and vicious as any of them.
