The race for the White House has grown so toxic that it’s become a top topic among reporters and analysts covering the contest — and some are even calling on President Barack Obama and presumptive GOP nominee Mitt Romney to call a truce.Well boo fucking hoo. I can guarantee you that if this was a normal election -- and by normal I mean an election wherein the GOP viciously launches false attack after false attack while the Democrats just sit there and passively take it -- then you wouldn't be hearing shit from these media bastards about how "toxic" the campaign is. All you'd be hearing about is how effective the GOP's campaign has been and how ineffective the Democrats are.
“You thought last week was bad? Just when you thought last week’s third-grade insults were as low as the campaign could go here, here we go again, the campaign has gotten even uglier,” MSNBC’s Chuck Todd said Wednesday. “It’s not faux outrage, it’s real outrage. Over the last 24 hours, the attacks from both sides have reached a new level of vitriol.”
CNN’s Soledad O’Brien said the campaigns struck a new note of negativity. "Romney and Obama campaigns going on the offensive at the same time? What that means is nasty rhetoric, really nastier than ever,” she said this morning.
On Fox News, veteran political reporter Brit Hume said the attacks were some of the worst he’s seen since covering politics, a sentiment shared by other experienced correspondents.
“This is about as ugly as I’ve seen it get,” Hume said Tuesday night on Fox. “I think some of the things that have been said about Mitt Romney, and… that Harry Reid allegation are just unbelievable. I’ve rarely seen something like that from somebody as senior as the Senate majority leader.”
But things have changed. Now we have a Democrat in the White House who not only fights back, but seems to enjoy keeping Romney on the backs of his heels by constantly going on the offensive. And that's what these media assholes don't like.
Christ, the above-quoted Soledad O’Brien practically admitted that this was the case when she said: “Romney and Obama campaigns going on the offensive at the same time? What that means is nasty rhetoric, really nastier than ever.” In other words, O'Brien is apparently used to only one party (i.e., the Republicans) going on the attack, and cannot handle the fact that the Dems have finally grown a pair and are willing to do what it takes to win this election.
But I'm delighted with the tone of this campaign. I can't get enough of it. In fact, my only piece of advice to the Democrats is to take their current level of aggressiveness and increase it a thousand-fold. That would almost make up for all those elections where the Democrats acted like a bunch of cowards in the face of hostile GOP bullshittery.

Democrats acted like a bunch of cowards? They are a bunch of cowards... and pussies, too! Thank God we won't have to put up with their shit anymore after Nov.
Yes anonymous, all Democrats are pussies and cowards. Just like all Republicans are racist, white, and stupid. Keep drinking the kool-aid, and keep dreaming about November, because that's is the only place your vision will be realized.
Hey, my buddy is back! Where have you been? Have you been undergoing treatment for depression because you fucks are about to lose an election that should have been an easy win?
I agree with you that the Democrats were a bunch of cowards prior to this summer -- that's why I left the party back in '05. Now they're handing your guy Romney his own ass and all he can do is whine like a little baby over all the negativity (even though he ran the most negative primary campaign in history in order to get the nomination).
Of course, it doesn't hurt the Dems that Governor Romney -- your hero -- is hated by pretty much everyone. There's a reason you Radical Right Wingers are so nervous right now -- you guys are about to nominate a complete tool.
