If clapping and cheering is, then Booing is as well. This is America. Its free speech, and the first Amendment is there to protect all speech, popular and unpopular.
We've been conditioned to be far too "polite" these days, when we should be speaking our minds.
Do You Think Booing Is Appropriate at a Political Event?

Mitt Romney recently got booed at an NAACP (National Association for the Advancement of Colored People) event when he told the audience that he would be the better president for African Americans. Do you think booing is appropriate at a political event?

Yes


















pssst....that be the one that is currently potus without a birth certificate, college grades, and runs on a platform based on lies.
They're batting for the same team; the same handlers. Sorry...
Mitt said he would repeal obamacare. That is good enough for me. If he lies, we vote him out four years.
Mitt is not my first choice, but he loves his country and understands it a hell of a lot better than the imposter/liar does. It was noted you didn't attempt to address that point, which makes your defense of obama saying, "they're both the same", weak.
"This Nation CANNOT survive another colossal mistake. "
obama getting re-elected would ABSOLUTELY destroy this nation!
Romney is the only alternative!
Checkmate!
Thanks for displaying your lack of ideas.
Who needed to bring out the silly little images and jpeg's?
Double checkmate.
Romney is still a private citizen, and if he gets booed, and doesn't like it, he should either develop a think skin or give up the office he's running for.
And Obama has a thick enough skin, despite the cheap imagery you put up.
Romney...like any other private citizen...and speaking in a hotel auditorium, or in a civic arena, can get booed, and Romney knows that.
If he doesn't want to get booed anymore, maybe he shouldn't go out and talk about running for President.
I do find it interesting though (if not surprising) that the media focused on that tiny 15 second event, but did not show the segments where he received rousing applause, and the standing ovation he received at the end.
Romney should be given much credit for giving a speech in front of a crowd that he knows he doesn't have a snow balls chance in Haiti to win over (with the exception of a few). His message was clear that unlike the current occupant of our White House, he will propose and sign laws that will benefit all Americans no matter what Race..
I wonder if Obama would show the same courage and poise giving a campaign speech at an NRA convention?
Now, I'm not foolish enough to believe that he swayed anyone in that audience to vote for him, but I can almost guarantee that he picked up votes of folks that were concerned if Romney would pander to voting blocks like liberals do by telling them things that they, as a voting block want to hear.
He stood his ground, treated them as Americans (not a minority voting block), and didn't tell them anything different than he would any group.
Personally I was voting for Romney just to get rid of the disaster in our White House we now are suffering through.. I'm now considering campaigning for him. For the record, I've talked to others who feel the same way.
What do you believe the current occupant of our White House would have done if he was booed at an NRA convention (if he had the guts to give a campaign speech at one).
Chances are, he would have stopped, stutter for 10 seconds, then proceed to scold the booers.
Uhhhh A Uhhhh
