No name newspaper? Check.

Shit that no politician who wants to be elected would ever say? Check. Rick Santorum would disagree, he's said worse things.

Reads exactly like a caricature of what people think of Republicans? Check. That's how they often are, are they not?

Six days old, and zero mention of it in any mainstream news outlet? Check. Well I wouldn't know about that

Fake. As a parody/satire, this is Christwire level bad.

Rick Santorum is a cretin, and even so the worst thing he's said is that Puerto Ricans should learn English. Mitt Romney is tone deaf but not a cretin, and he wants very much to win. This would be 1000000000x worse than anything Sanctimonium has ever said and would finish him instantly, one touch self-KO.

That's how Republicans are in the fevered brains of Democrats and Daily Show watchers, I suppose. In reality, they're as squeamish when it comes to talking about race as most white people are.
