The Star Editorial
For sound, fury and partisan rancour, nothing beats an American presidential election. As Campaign 2012 grinds to a photo-finish, only Hurricane Sandy managed, momentarily, to out-howl the attack ads.
Mitt Romney’s stunning dismissal of half the electorate as self-pitying freeloaders who depend on the dole set the standard for cringe-inducing moments. “My job is not to worry about those people,” he told a private, $50,000-a-plate Republican fundraiser, with a candour that speaks to America’s corrosive ideological divide. Clint Eastwood’s oddball rambling chat with an empty chair was also a windfall for the Democrats, as were Romney’s professed love for Big Bird, and his “binders full of women.”
But Republicans, too, made hay from President Barack Obama’s unwise musing that “If you’ve got a business — you didn’t build that.” They tore the remark out of context and paraded it as an ugly Big Government sneer at the sacred icon of American entrepreneurship.
Much of it was a “bunch of malarkey,” as Joe Biden might have said (and did), fodder for a $2.5-billion tsunami of negative advertising, personal slurs and dark half truths and evasions.
