WASP complains President Obama doesn't understand Anglo-Saxon Heritage (Conservative Racism)

Sadly, this is not a story about a minor star of the 1980's Metal Era talking politics*, for that you'll have to read about Dave Mustaine being excited by Rick Santorum.

A Totally-Not-Racist Republican Mitt Romney advisor complained that President Obama doesn't "fully appreciate" our and Great Britian's special "Anglo-Saxon heritage".
“We are part of an Anglo-Saxon heritage. The White House didn’t fully appreciate the shared history we have.”
This after John Sununu pouted he wished, "this President [Obama] would learn how to be an American."

Of course, the odious Mitt Romney, Dauphin of the Plutocracy, isn't just going to let his bondsmen raise the specter of the scary dark hued Obama,
"It's a very strange and in some respects foreign to the American experience type of philosophy. His whole philosophy is an upside-down philosophy that does not comport with the American experience."
The evil myopic inability of right-wingers to even understand there exists an American experience outside their privileged White Anglo-Saxon Protestant universe is the second worst thing which infects the Republican Party and the modern conservative movement. The deference and protection Right-Wings Guard Dogs provide to the 1% and Disaster Vulture Capitalists oppressing and robbing the world being the worst.

But, Romney and the Republicans aren't ignorant or myopic. They know exactly what they are doing. Purging voter roles. Complaining about how foreign President Obama is, constantly lying about him apologizing overseas or attacking small business owners, or appeasing terrorists. Republicans are directly appealing to the conservative bigots and racists to win this election.

It just might work.

*- However, Blackie Lawless of WASP supported John McCain in 2008 citing it was a mandate against President Obama and that he wanted to cling to his guns and religion.

Updated:
Upon recalling that right-wingers ginned up anger when President Obama had the bust of Winston Churchill replaced with one of Abraham Lincoln, I recommend reading Britian and Poland 1939-1943: The Betrayed Ally by Anita J. Prazmowska, to understand how Britian and Churchill misled the Polish Government in exile, delivered the Polish people to the Soviet wolves, and used the Polish pilots and paratroopers as fodder against the Nazis to fully comprehend a "Special Relationship" with Britian.

But, reading the comments over at the Daily Telegraph, the one by Anthony Wilmont (flying the traitorous CSA Battle Flag as a logo) proudly proclaiming, "I want my own state, the Confederate States of America with Ron Paul at its Head!" should highlight which voters Mitt Romney and his Republican ilk are courting.
