Obama's Spanish is much better than Mitt's Spanish, at least liberal Mitt's Spanish, haven't heard conservative or moderate Mitt speak Spanish, maybe it's good. I would imagine it would have to be in order to communicate with the illegal immigrants who worked on his house.
Where is your proof that Mitt hired illegal aliens? A rich and powerful man like him would have service industries hiring the domestic help for him. Do you actually think that he would be communicating with them? I would imagine that he isn't home all that much.

Pleave provide an example of Mitt slamming Mexican culture.

If you don't like Palestinians instead of disparaging Arabs, you say the culture of Palestine is inferior.

You don't define what you mean by culture in any specific manner, but everyone understands, the basic message is that there is something wrong with black people or Mexicans or Palestinians because of their heritage.

The Daily Kos goes on to spin this as attacking the Palestinian and Mexican culture. Why can't the left see what liars they are? How do the facts about the GDP of any country equate to attacks on their culture? Yet the left laps this nonsense right up as gospel truth to demonize Romney.

Though it is true a lot of Narcos seem to run Mexico, has nothing to do with anything Romney said, even according to to the OPs sources.
The communist paper links given us make extra-ordinary assumptions about what is meant by Romney to come to an offense.

You probably consider Businessweek a Communist rag, because all Communists read Businessweek

How does his father leaving Mexico equate to slamming Mexico culture?

It's not about culture at all. Are you kidding? It's a matter of economics. People will do anything to escape poverty and hunger and crime and desperation.
