Obama Tape is Hannity's Zinger for Mitt ROmney during the debate

Think about it people it makes sense. The GOP releases information that they are going to provide Romney with Zingers. We also get reports that Romney is going to go for Empathy during the debate. The Obama tape is a Zinger for when the 47% video comment comes up during the debate. Mitt Romney is going to use that Zinger well at least I didn't sit in a racial Church with a crazy Preacher. Then he is going to say something about Obama's tape as a fact check of how Obama has Lied on his Black Moral Values. This is a Zinger people it's all to help Mitt Romney in the Debate THINK ABOUT IT! Drudge even mentioned on his website that fox was debating airing the tape before the Debate. It's all Code words people!!! I'm not crazy I just see the truth in this one! Nah I'm just kidding, but wouldn't be crazy if it was true. The Onion could have a field day with this one.

1. Really? What is Mitt going to say? How will he employ this so-called zinger?

He can't possibly make the comment you suggest. That would go over like a lead balloon. I guarantee you that he won't bring up Reverend Wright.

All he has to do is make up some fancy words that big shot Boss people like to use about church folks and go with that. That's why it's a Zinger he doesn't have to say his name just mention the tape that aired on fox as a fact check towards his 47% Comment.

up how Mitt was in his 30s before the Mormon church allowed full membership to blacks (1978 all males can become priests and all may enter certain temple functions which are required for salvation - blacks were excluded before then).

Don't think he wants to go there.

When Tim Russert gave Romney the opportunity to repudiate the position, he declined in 2007. Hopefully Pres. Obama is keeping this one in his back pocket.

Past Romney debates. The only way Romney came out ahead as a winning the Debate is if he was the victim. He will play the victim card and go there you go again.

MITT IS A MORMAN! Why don't you read up on Mormans. Mitt had a grandfather who had multiple wives. People already know all about Rev Wright and are in general used to crazy ministers. Remember the video of Palin and some devil craziness that I don't even remember. People aren't familiar with Morman practices and like Scientology they will seem very strange. No way is Mitt going to want to bring up religion or ridicule someone else's religion.

Rev. Wright is so last election...nobody cares. It's simply a guage of how desperate the right is to have to dig up old crap.

P.S. No offense to Mormans, I am tolerate of all religions.

8. see now you are just showing empathy towards Mitt Romney

All he has to do is say how angry Obama was and that he was picking on his religion so he had to go there in mentioning how crazy Obama's Pastor was. This is how the Zinger works it provokes Obama into picking a fight about religion with Mitt Romney. Everyone will feel sorry for Mitt Romney afterwards and he will look like he was the victim even if they did try to provoke Obama.

10. Not even a slight chance of Romney directly going nuclear on race/religion @ 1st debate

Romney isn't trying for a knock out punch in Round One.

If Romney did this, it would immediately blow up in his face. No recovery.

However, Romney can see if such a story will gain legs in the coming days and then press Obama at the next debate, if there is some other angle on the story. I don't expect this story to carry much weight outside the "base" of the GOP.

It explicitly excluded black people from their religion. He really does not want to bring up racist preachers. 1978. Mitt was around 31 years old.
