Romney-bot Suffers Motherboard Meltdown in Michigan: ‘Trees Are the Right Height’ … ‘I Love Cars’ … ‘Dais-ee, Dais-ee, Give Me Your Ansuurrrrhhh…’

ROMNEY-BOT: A little history. I was born and raised here. I love this state. It seems right here. The trees are the right height. I like seeing the lakes. I love the lakes. There’s something very special here. The Great Lakes, but also all the little inland lakes that dot the parts of Michigan. I love cars. I dunno, I mean, I grew up totally in love with cars. It used to be in the fifties and sixties, if you showed me one square foot of almost any part of a car, I could tell you what brand it was — the model and so forth. Now, with all the Japanese cars I’m not so good at it. But I still know the American cars pretty well. And, uh, drive a Mustang. I love cars. I love American cars. And long may they rule the world, let me tell you. I want to do well.

Helen Radkey, who has often contributed to Pensito Review on issues related to the Mormon Church, was interviewed by Lawrence O’Donnell this week about the latest findings from her research into the controversial practice of Mormons baptizing dead people.

In the 1990s, Radkey discovered that Mormons were routinely baptizing survivors of the Holocaust — in other words, they were unilaterally Christianizing people who had been slaughtered because they were not Christians. After they’d been found out, Mormon leaders promised that the practice of baptizing Holocaust survivors would end. However, it did not. In fact, in her most recent findings, Radkey discovered that the late Nazi hunter Simon Wiesenthal — for whom the Museum of Tolerance in Los Angeles is named –had received posthumous rites, as had relatives of Nobel Laureate Elie Wiesel.

In an email Radkey forwarded to us and others this week, she wrote:

Romney, Santorum and Paul Undercut Gingrich by Pulling Out of March 1 CNN Debate

Disgraced former House Speaker Newt Gingrich is fundamentally devoid of the temperament or seriousness required to be president. But he has managed to survive in his quixotic bid for the presidency based on on two factors. First, his campaign has been funded almost entirely by two Super PAC donations totaling $11 million from an Israel-firster, casino owner Sheldon Adelson, and, secondly, he has racked up approval ratings by using the 19 or so debates so far to toss out red meat for the base by attacking Pres. Obama, the other candidates and the corporate media.

The fact that there haven’t been any debates in a while is starting to have an effect on the Gingrich campaign. Recent polling puts him in fourth place among the four candidates. Now the campaigns of other three candidates — Mitt Romney, Rick Santorum and Ron Paul — have made a joint decision that could spell the end for the Gingrich campaign:

More Lies from Breitbart: Charges of Rape by Occupiers Debunked

Countdown:

Keith Olbermann condemns right-wing blogger Andrew Breitbart for promoting an inaccurate roundup of 17 alleged rapes at Occupy protests on his websites. The list, which fails to mention that the legitimate rape victims were Occupy supporters, comes on the heels of Breitbart screaming, “Stop raping people!” to a group of Occupy protestors at the Conservative Political Action Committee conference last weekend. “What Mr. Breitbart and his fellow propagandists have done, in fact, is to take at least eight women — eight members of Occupy who were raped or otherwise assaulted — and blame them for being raped,” says Keith.

Palin Ready to Step in as Candidate at Brokered Convention

If one of the nominees, one of the GOPers, doesn’t get enough delegates, it could go to a brokered convention. If it does get to that, and someone said, ‘Governor, would you be interested,’ would you be interested? For one, I think that it could get to that… If it had to be closed up today, the whole nominating process, then we could be looking at a brokered convention… Nobody is quite there yet, so I think that months from now, if that is the case, all bets are off as to who it will be, willing to offer up themselves up in their name in service to their country.

— Sarah Palin, telling Fox Business that a brokered Republican presidential convention was a possibility and if it happened she “would do whatever I could to help.”

Right-Wing Author of ‘The Bell Curve’ Changes Mind, Now Supports Gay Marriage

I’ve changed my mind on [marriage equality] … the fact is that my wife and I know many same-sex couples and they have great marriages.

– Charles Murray, coauthor of “The Bell Curve,” which critics said supported scientific racism, and whom Andrew Sullivan described today as “perhaps the most important conservative/libertarian thinker of the last two decades” and a leader of the “conservative intelligentsia.”
