Over
the weekend, the president unleashed a new charge against his
opponent. Not only is Gov. Romney rich (apparently considered a fatal
defect in and of itself), not only has he fired American workers, not
only has he transported the family pet on the rooftop of his station
wagon, but now he has been found to hold "extreme" views.
The president was not too specific about what these extreme views might be. Presumably they relate to Medicare, abortion rights, gay marriage, climate change, welfare, or whatever specific issue might be on the minds of voters. The president has left it to his surrogates to fill in the blanks. Meanwhile, he hopes to benefit from the Big Lie he has sown -- the idea that it is Romney and not the president himself who is an extremist.
Apparently, someone at the White House sat down and decided that that "extremist" worked with focus groups. In an interview with the Associated Press, Obama let it be known that he thinks Romney is an extremist, and suddenly the entire liberal media jumps into action. On Sunday's Meet the Press, DNC Chairperson Debbie Wasserman Schultz charged Romney with taking an "unrealistic and extreme position" on immigration. On Monday, the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee announced an effort to tie twenty GOP House members to Rep. Akin's "extreme agenda." Predictably, every liberal hack from Chris Matthews on down chimed in with attacks, including Matthews's charge that Romney had played the "race card" with his birth certificate joke.
