Intentional?

Two phrases from the Romney camp jumped out at me and made me wonder if they were said intentionally or simply as inadvertent slips.

Ann Romney, defending her husband's refusal to release more tax returns, said:

"[W]e've given all you people need to know and understand about our financial situation and about how we live our life."

"You people"?   In fact, it was first reported without the "you," just: "We've given all people need to know."   But some alert person pointed out the omission.   Saying "you people" conveys are very different tone.  It's a demeaning, condescending slur.

And then a campaign adviser said:

"Unfortunately it’s disappointing that the attacks . . .  are diverting away from what real Americans want to talk about. And real Americans want to talk about getting back to work."

"Real Americans"?   As in Sarah Palin's "real Americans"?   Are we back to that kind of divisiveness from Republicans?

Unintentional?    Or are they intentionally playing to the base?    The "you people" would of course mean the prying press and the Democrats.    The "real" Americans are the patriots who vote Republican and have the "right" values.
