Funny how these conservatives reject any allegations of racism as unwarranted displays of victimization, unless they are the ones making the allegations.

That&#8217;s something the Romney campaign has also taken up with regard to an ad released by a pro-Obama Super PAC. It would be nice if these disingenuous blowhards would actually step up and oppose these Super PACs rather than just whine when one aims at their pet politicians. But since the right has consistently defended these PACs, they have no moral grounds for complaining about them when they are the target.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A new ad was released today by a Super PAC supporting Patrick Murphy of Florida.
