The American Spectator

First, The Washington Post went after Mitt Romney for an alleged bullying incident which took place nearly  50 years ago. Then they went after him for a massacre committed by Mormons in Arkansas 150 years ago. Now they’ve gone after him for his rhythm or lack thereof.

As you probably know, Romney was heckled by residents of West Philadelphia (egged on in part by the Obama campaign) during a visit to a charter school run by Kenny Gamble of Gamble & Huff fame. More on him later.

Here is the WaPost’s Philip Rucker describing Romney’s interaction with schoolchildren:

Inside the school, Romney debated issues with educators and tried to connect with students. When he visited a classroom where the kids in the elementary school choir were standing, swaying and clapping to the beat of Kirk Franklin’s “I Smile”, Romney appeared charmed but did not dance with them. Rather, he tapped one of his toes slightly and bobbed his head, but did not catch the rhythm.

Didn’t catch the rhythm? Romney isn’t a contestant on Dancing With The Stars or So You Think You Can Dance? But apparently the WaPost thinks being able to dance like Savion Glover is a prerequisite for residence at 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue. Of course, if Romney had danced with the kids you can be sure he would have got grief for it as he did when he sang “America The Beautiful” a few months back.

The WaPost could have taken a moment from its critique of Romney’s footwork to mention that Kenny Gamble is now known as Luqman Abdul Haqq (a.k.a. Brother Luqman). Luqman has been buying up properties in South Philly and has been criticized for wanting to turn Philly into a Muslim only enclave and for his association with jihadists in the Muslim Alliance in North America (MANA).

Not only does Romney get heckled by people who don’t know what they’re protesting but he gets blamed for things for which he was not responsible. Brother Luqman criticized Romney for the anti-busing activities which occurred in Boston during the 1970s. Except that these activities took place a quarter century before Romney was elected Governor.

And on top of it, the WaPost goes after Romney for being rhythmically challenged. All things considered, Romney’s time is better spent campaigning elsewhere.
