That woman SE Cupp is an idiot. Her entire diatribe was based in what she wants conservatives to think Toure was saying and not what he actually said. Toure' was saying that Romney was pandering to the bigoted crowd, which it can be argued that he was, and not necessarily saying that Romney himself was racist--basically, Toure' is saying that Romney is doing whatever it takes to win, even if that means getting bigots on his side.
Then SE Cupp somehow twisted that into this idea that Toure' was calling Romney unquestionably racist and all Republicans unquestionably racist, thus turning Toure' into the angry black man, and connecting him to Democrats and Obama by proxy. Well, now that I think of it, what she did was ethically ignorant, but it was smart in terms of building support for Repubs from those same closeted bigots they're trying to pull in.
All in all, this election will be ugly. But I'm glad it's happening this way. It is bringing to light the racial hangups that still plague America.
