The Romney campaign has posted this web video that purports to summarize his address last week at the NAACP convention in Houston:
The video has been widely panned (see here and here for representative samples) as a fantasy film with virtually no connection to reality.
But that shouldn’t be surprising, at least according to twin op-eds in Saturday’s Boston Globe – one from Neal Gabler, the other from Cathy Young – that say both the left and the right are creating their own realities, facts be damned.
Damn!
That goes double for the presidential candidates.
“It doesn’t matter what is true, it only matters what people believe is true.” – Paul Watson
Sad but, well, true.
In that way the Romney campaign will prove to be prescient, and genius. Reality doesn’t matter anymore.
In politics, did it ever?
