9. Mitt talks right-wing talk

but it is grating to a wider, more sane audience grounded in the real world. I think he is always surprised that the rest of the world isn't like FOX news.

His comments on Jerusalem should create a big stir. They are very inflammatory and show his ignorance in that he seems unaware that he is even saying something controversial.

Also, many of his comments are extremely anti-Muslim. If you combine this Jerusalem policy with his lament over the fact that "Muslims" were elected in the Arab Spring countries, I think he has a big problem. This really anti-Muslim rhetoric may play well in GOP-land, but the rest of the world finds it disgusting. Denying Jerusalem's place as a holy city to Islam and the importance of the status quo of the divided city as a show of respect of this fact is another aspect of this.
