Indecorous? No doubt. But that hardly means that Young wasn't on to something back then. After all, the "Gipper" did annihilate Mondale, winning 525 electoral votes and 49 states to Mondale's 13 and 1. Nevertheless, what's inarguable today is the existence of a train of thought within the Romney campaign which leads to a premise that blacks are lazy. Uber lazy. Too lazy in fact, to put in even the slightest effort required to ensure we can freeload off Obama's government for another four years.
If so, it would certainly explain why for at least one of the smart-asses running the Romney campaign, the thought of the 2012 black turnout exceeding that of 2008 -- which, in fact, happened -- "defied logic."
For many of us, it's just that kind of jackass thinking that makes Obama's victory all the much sweeter.
