There Was No Mitt Romney Gaffe in Israel

From Marc Thiessen, at the Washington Post (via Memeorandum).

And Jeff Goldstein comments, "When is a gaffe not really a gaffe?":

Well, there’s no absolute answer to that question, but a pretty good indicator would be that when the organized Left caterwauls about the outrageousness of your stated opinion and speaks of it as if you’ve damaged your brand by uttering it, there’s a pretty good chance it’s not only not a gaffe, but is instead the unvarnished and candid truth.

Kind of like when “progressives” speak of fairness, tolerance, and liberalism, what they really mean is central planning, government-approved speech developed in conjunction with specific Democrat client grievance groups, and the redefining of the individual as but a cog in the greater and goodly collective.

You know, bullshit.

And see Mitt Romney, at National Review, "Culture Does Matter."
