Mitt Romney Posed With Anti-Obama Osama Clinton Sign

Buzzfeed reports that at a 2008 rally in South Carolina Romney posed and held up this sign linking the two likely Democratic nominees, Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama, to 9/11 mastermind Osama Bin Laden.

Romney responded that his critics needed to “lighten up slightly. There are a lot of jokes out there. I’m not responsible for all the signs I see.”

No Romney, don’t be silly! No one’s accusing you of being responsible for all the signs you see, but we are holding you responsible for the ones you choose to associate yourself with.

Mitt Romney and his Polygamist Connection

Ben Jacobs from The Daily Beast wrote about a conversation he had with Montana Democratic Gov. Brian Schweitzer. Mr. Jacobs noted that when he acknowledged the irony of Mitt Romney’s father being born in Mexico, and Romney having problems with the Hispanic community, Mr. Schweitzer replied;

… that it is “kinda ironic given that his family came from a polygamy commune in Mexico, but then he’d have to talk about his family coming from a polygamy commune in Mexico, given the gender discrepancy.” Women, he said, are “not great fans of polygamy, 86 percent were not great fans of polygamy. I am not alleging by any stretch that Romney is a polygamist and approves of [the] polygamy lifestyle, but his father was born into [a] polygamy commune in Mexico.”

The Obama campaign spokesperson Lis Smith told the Daily Beast that “Attacking a candidate’s religion is out of bounds, and our campaign will not engage in it, and we don’t think others should either.”
