So, it's just more faux outrage by the well-funded elite in this country hoping to fool Americans into buying a bad product - Romney for Prez - to secure more power (and profits) for corporate rule (fascism) in our government.
Republicans have zero policies to run on. Tax cuts for the "job creators" fell flat (no one's buying it) and now they have to grasp on anything even slightly controversial to propel Romney and Republicans back into power.
I'm surprised why Rep. Allan West's hateful comments aren't reported as zealously as Hilary Rosen's mishap. Hm. In fact, West is pooh-poohed away with the caveat that he's not even popular among the Republicans, but has anyone yet heard or seen a prominent GOPer admonish him for any of his hateful comments?
Rosen, on the other hand, who is not even part of the Obama Reelection Campaign, has had her words taken out of context and is being excoriated with false accusations with impunity. If the "news" outlets are reporting she has nothing to do with the Obama Campaign, it's hard to tell when you listen to news outlets - including MSNBC - that seem to propagate that rightwing lie over and over and over again.
