Those of us who see Mitt Romney’s selection of Paul Ryan as a clear sign that the presumptive Republican presidential nominee is developing what Michele Bachmann once called a “titanium spine” were further encouraged by Romney’s recent message to Barack Obama: “Mr. President, take your campaign of division and anger and hate back to Chicago!”
Romney, of course, can’t (and therefore won’t) say it, but that campaign of division, anger, and hate has now turned violent. In a desire to talk about anything but the effects of Obama’s disastrous policies, he and his surrogates — in and out of the media — have adopted a reckless strategy of lies and distortion that has now resulted in what the FBI is investigating as an act of domestic terrorism.
I refer to the attack on the offices of the Family Research Council in Washington, DC, in which a security guard was shot. When disarmed, the gunman, who was reported to be carrying a Chick-fil-A bag, cried out, “Don’t shoot me! It was not about you! It was what this place stands for!”
