In Iowa, in one of his "Ask Mitt Anything" campaign stops, as reported by the NY Times, Mitt attacks Senator Clinton: "But Mr. Romney hardly spared Mrs. Clinton from criticism this morning. He made sure to get in a dig at her as well, attacking her call for shared responsibility as a society. “That’s like, out with Adam Smith and in with Karl Marx,” he said.
Please, now, former Governor Romney, no need to go around shrieking out wild rhetoric and sounding like a member of the John Birch Society. You had some legitimate criticisms of Barack Obama in that same meeting, and I don't want the relatively liberal Senator Clinton in charge of this country's domestic policy either. But she's not like "Karl Marx", and it's ridiculous to suggest that she is. That kind of rhetoric can help the opposition make all Republicans out to be wild-eyed, shrieking extremists. Tone it down.
