ZOMG! Romney’s racist motorcade!

Well, that settles it. Not only is Mitt Romney racist for referring to his sons, but Romney’s motorcade has nefarious ties to white supremacist groups. And likely has a white hooded tarp stashed in its trunk.

Ace of Spades calls out Zeke Miller at BuzzFeed and the result is glorious.

Oh God, right. Zeke had a Tweet that Romney's motorcade *passed a house where the Confederate flag was flying*

Now that wasn't published in BuzzFeed, as far as I know, but that kind of shows how desperate "Zeke" is for his little "stories."

I think that's what had me primed– "ROMNEY JUST PASSED A HOUSE FLYING THE CONFEDERATE FLAG!1!1!!eleventy!!"

— iLoveScienceSexually (@AceofSpadesHQ) October 5, 2012

Really? He passed that house, huh? He didn't burn it to the ground, huh? Thanks.

He demolishes him further:

Awww. Obama loves his wife so much he seeks out baked goods bearing her name.

Meanwhile Romney’s motorcade has its GPS set to KLAN MODE, taking sketchy back-routes and by-ways once used by Quantrill’s Raiders.

You must read the whole thing. But, fair warning: People might give you funny looks.

Willis, a research fellow at Media Matters for America. explains the First Amendment to conservatives:

[W]e’ve got no government actions here to squelch speech. We don’t have a rehash of the Alien & Sedition Acts, or past U.S. government offenses that were in retrospect actual violations of the Constitution.

You have – to varying degrees – representatives of the government voicing their disagreement with some speech. But both President Obama and Secretary of State Clinton have made quite clear that in America we don’t have the power nor interest in using the government to censor speech.

It’s just not what we do.

So why the conservative freak out? In addition to America having a black, Democratic president, there’s a good chance now that America will re-elect that black, Democratic president. In large part this is thanks to the dud of a candidate the Republican party has selected yet again.

Get it? Conservatives are freaking out over First Amendment abuses not because we’re actually worried about the First Amendment but because we don’t like having a black President.

To underscore the point, Willis includes this image:

But because we’re so stupid, it’s hard for us to understand Willis’s brilliant argument:

As Twitchy reported earlier, the 6 people killed by the Sikh temple shooter have been identified. The community is rallying around the families of the victims and a fund has been established.

Awwww. Now that the face-saver in chief has moved his DNC speech to a smaller venue, the Democrats’ dreams of a dramatic balloon drop to close out the convention have been dashed.

Total down twinkles.

Dems are reportedly scrambling to throw together a “suitably celebratory finish” to replace the shower of balloons. Givers that they are, conservatives rushed to offer the Dems some inspiration.

Twitchy founder/CEO Michelle Malkin kicked off the fun.
