At N.H. town hall, Paul Ryan urged to ‘take the gloves off’
By Felicia Sonmez, Tuesday, September 18, 1:48 PM

DOVER, N.H. — Jack Kimball has a message for the Romney-Ryan campaign: “I think it’s time to take the gloves off.”

Kimball is the tea party-backed former New Hampshire Republican Party chairman who resigned last year amid pressure from members of his party. He made an unexpected appearance Tuesday morning in the crowd at Paul Ryan’s second solo town hall meeting.

At a moment when the Romney-Ryan campaign is weathering a tough several weeks due to a series of unforced errors — including Romney’s statement criticizing Obama in the wake of last week’s attacks on U.S. diplomatic missions in the Middle East and the release on Monday of a video showing Romney appearing to write off the “47 percent” of Americans who pay zero income tax — Kimball’s advice might seem counter-intuitive.

But if the New Hampshire crowd’s standing ovation for Kimball’s suggestion was anything to go by, take the gloves off — and continue to make remarks that rally the GOP base — is precisely what supporters want the Romney-Ryan ticket to do.

Ryan and his fake-ass marathon time and other many lies do not impress me.

[bemildred]

[Rambis]

5. Yeah, I beat Ali with one arm tied behind my back, yeah thats it

[nolabear]

6. But the gloves are the only thing that keeps the Death Beam harnessed. You don't want that.

[progressivebydesign]

7. Umm. but they HAVE taken the gloves off. they were never on. Or do they mean....

lying in an even bigger and more destructive way?? Does he mean that the candidates should call the President the filthy names they call him on a regular basis? Or maybe Kimball can make some "Kenyan Witch Doctor" signs to put up around Romney's events?

Maybe they miss Palin, who had no compunction about saying that the President "pals around with Terrorists?" Is that what he's after? I just don't know what the Romney Campaign and their shadowy surrogates have NOT thrown at the President, yet?

They call him unAmerican, "other", Muslim, a "food stamp president," and worse.

What does Kimball and is bottom-dwelling, human slime, friends want???? They've called the President a liar, and more.

Fuck those people.

[Vietnameravet]

26. Yes

Yes that is exactly what they mean.. and I wish they would do it just to show the country what a bunch of fucks they are!!.idiots!
Can you imagine what this country would be like if they did that and combining that with voter suppression they won!!

[Solly Mack]

9. Yeah, that's the problem. (gloves on)

LMAO

[Populist_Prole]

10. He looks like an anal retentive corporate robot who couldn't fight his way out of a paper bag

[Not Me]

11. And throughout all of this...

Our President is cool, calm and collected. Presidential, I might say.

[Kingofalldems]

12. I'm ascared!!

[tomm2thumbs]

[hifiguy]

[thelordofhell]

15. What they want is this..........(warning, highly offensive NSFW)

[cosmicone]

16. Stupid people

One cannot attack a well-liked person like Obama viciously, one has to do it with finesse, decorum and civility -- all qualities that the teabaggers lack.

[oldsarge54]

17. Considering

Considering how the tea party agenda so much resembles the fascist agenda, of a mythic past, scapegoating ethnic groups, subservience of government to industry, and purging senior members from the party for reasons of political purity, are you sure that when the gloves come off they won't be wielding truncheons?

[yellowcanine]

18. Yes since that approach has been working so well for them up to now.

[magical thyme]

19. OOOOH!!!!!! NOOOEEESSSSS!!!11!!!1!! WE'RE DOOOOMED!!1!11!1111!!!!

[Indpndnt]

23. Ohpleaseohpleaseohpleaseohpleaseohplease DO!!

[fascisthunter]

24. lol.... liars are wimps... so, enough with the tough guy talk

besides, it sounds juvenile.

[Javaman]

25. So by take "take the gloves off" do they mean

that he has to get that much more stupid?

[Renew Deal]

27. It's the same advice Palin listened

And it resulted in a number of ugly, hate filled rallies and a campaign loss.
