Fox’s Kimberly Guilfoyle: Romney Needs To Stand Up For America – And Use Rev. Wright To Smear Obama

When does Fox News not cheerlead for Mitt Romney? When he disapproves of featuring Rev. Jeremiah Wright in a smear campaign against President Obama. Last night, Sean Hannity forgot about how much he opposes “besmirching” in politics and was now complaining that his own candidate wouldn’t engage in it. But guest Kimberly Guilfoyle – who was liberal before it was expedient for her to be otherwise – took it a step further and suggested it was Romney’s patriotic duty to go that route. “Show us that no matter who our enemies might be… you’re going to be the president that’s going to stand for us,” she said in her most calculatedly rousing voice. I'm surprised she didn't stand up and salute the flag or start singing the Star Spangled Banner.

“I want Romney to treat Obama the way he did Gingrich and the way he attacked Santorum,” Hannity complained. As if Romney ever made such personal, below-the-belt attacks on either of them.

Guilfoyle agreed but then upped the ante:

I think too much is at stake. If you’re really passionate about the country and care about the direction that we’re going in, and I believe that he is, then you’ve GOT TO FIGHT for her. You have to stick up for the rest of us, for the American people. Show us that no matter who our enemies might be, no matter who comes against us, that you’re going to be the president that’s going to stand for us, that we can count on you not to cower.

Surprisingly, it was Eric Bolling who said that Romney was “doing the right thing.” “The economy should be the focus,” Bolling said. “Stay on his (Obama's) failures,” Bolling urged, such as “usurping the Constitution.”

Etch-A-Sketch won’t soil his well-manicured fingers in direct racebaiting. He will delegate that task to his SuperPacs, including the biggest right-wing SuperPAC, AKA Fux Noise.

I’ll assume the Romney campaign is savvy enough to realize taking campaign advice from a tabloid TV personalities is not the way to win the election. Hannity and Guilfoyle can pretend all day to be pundits offering helpful campaign advice, but the truth is that resurrecting the Wright connection would offer Hannity weeks of red meat for his low-brow viewers to nosh on, while offering Mitt more opportunity to step in a pile of dung. Something Mitt has proved to be constantly good at.

Laurie- exactly. I bet the Romney camp called that superpac and begged with them to reconsider that ad. If this were any other topic, Romney could have disavowed it, while the superpac did the dirty work.

I think the last thing Romney wants to bring to the forefront is religion.

Count: Same here- All they can ever bring up is NDAA, and they shut up real fast when I link them up to that John McCain penned that provision and railed it into the vote through closed door sessions.

I know why that stops normal people, but normally you can’t shut a Neocon up with a full roll of duct tape.

That comment is funny coming from a underwear model named Kimberly Guilfoyle, a bubble-headed nut who can’t keep a husband.

Kimberly’s political conversion from liberal Democrat to teabagging Repug coincidentally occurred at the same time as her Fux Noise employment. She should strap a mattress to her back.

Guilfoyle was so fervent, I'm surprised she didn't stand up and salute the flag or start singing the Star Spangled Banner.
