Was Mitt Romney Hoping to Be Booed During His NAACP Speech?

He attended because he was invited to do so and would have been excoriated had he not attended. He gave them his standard stump speech. Would they have been happier to have been pandered to and lied to? Oh wait, that was what Mr. Biden did.

And by the way, at least he showed up...something Mr. Obama did not do.

Well, after reading the posts I can see we have a plethora of Democratic racists on here. They continue to reflect their own racism onto others (in this case Romney) in order to feel better about their own inadequate ability to deal with race or even life.

This is America, if you can't get ahead here it is your own fault. You have been handed every opportunity. No one is taking anything away from you unless you let yourself be duped.

There is not one shred of evidence Romney is a racist, yet the pundits weave a fable such as this one because the NAACP booed him. Big deal, they booed a lot of people, including George H W Bush and no one started a propaganda campaign.

Truth is we have a failed President who's supporters are in full scale panic and grasping at anything to injure Romney. They have to deflect the story from the Economy, Jobs, and the $2T+ ObamaCare debacle else Obama will face an overwhelming defeat.

Just because you could reasonably expect it doesn't mean you're hoping for it.
He stuck to his message instead of pandering.
I think it was a big PR win for him.

He knew exactly what he was doing and he did it! It was despicable and disgusting and let you know exactly what Mitt Romney is all about. He stood in front of the NAACP and pandered to the racist right-wing zealots that are still on the fence who don't think he's bigoted and backward enough to get their vote.

Yes, how dare Romney give the same speech to the NAACP as he does to every other group. He should have spoke to them like a southern black preacher or in ebonics like Democrats. How racist of him.

A little jive talk or ebonics may have won them over. lol

True to your racist nature I'm sure you feel that way. Your attitude is the reason why people like Allen West are a straight joke. This is what you think of him as well, but self hating Black republicans will gladly digest their dignity, self-worth, and pride (if they ever had any to begin with) for whatever false acceptance they receive from the party/plantation of racists bigoted hate mongers (b.k.a. the GOP).

Here we go with the race card. You obviously can't make an argument so you resort to name calling. You lost the argument in your first sentence.

Yeah here we go with the "race card" maybe you shouldn't have played it.

"A little jive talk or ebonics may have won them over"

Those were YOUR WORDS pal! That's what you said of Black people, they all talk jive and ebonics and can't speak proper English. Oh, but that's not racist huh?

So? They were complaining he wasn't speaking their language, it was the NAACP claiming he wasn't talking to them.

You're referring to when Biden spoke to the NAACP? I fully agree.

I'm done.

I'll keep that in mind next time I talk to you. I won't discriminate against you because of your low I.Q.

I may try again if your I.Q. improve to double digits.

Did you mean my racist nature? You looking in the mirror with a comment like:
"True to your racist nature I'm you feel that way."

I don't believe LTC Allen West is a joke. He is a Veteran just like me. We don't see color only potential. Wait a minute wasn't there a Dr. King who pushed that same idea. I never gave a damn what color my men were because in the end we all were a cohesive combat unit. You want to see colorblindness ~ look to the military.
However, you prefer to call a man who sacrificed his career to save his troops an "Uncle Tom". Well, how very White of you.

I am not a member of the GOP or any Party. However, I find the constant insistence by the Dems that minorities need Government handouts because they are disadvantaged very insulting. Why aren't you insisting that Asian-American get more assistance? They are only 4.6% of the population.

And you dare to claim Republicans are trying to keep minorities on a plantation? Obama is trying to roll back Workfare which will force more people into generational welfare (and more Whites are on welfare just due to the percentages). Clinton and the Republicans worked together to help people break these chains and now Obama and you Progressives want to weld them back.

Bravo! Excellent comment!

You might as well talk to a brick wall. She's consumed by hypocrisy.

The NAACP invited Romney know full well what his politics are and they didn't have enough class to give the man respect for taking the time to speak to them. Their actions speak for them, not Romney. He was stand up guy for even going there.

Romney didn't have the "respect" to address them with nothing more than his demagoguery of the President and come with ideas and policy initiatives of his own that warranted "respect". Oh that's right, HE DOESN'T HAVE ANY! But a bigot like yourself simply know's "he's not the Black man" and that's enough for you. Your racist jive talk and ebonics comment proves this. But of course being the bigoted backward contard you are you wouldn't notice that Joe Biden spoke before the same crowd the very next day and received a different reaction and I'd like you point out any "jive talk and ebonics he used.

He was invited to speak and give his vision of what he wants for America and he did just that. Once again you lost the argument with the name calling. Classic libby, calling everyone names if you don't like the opinion. You've been watching too much MSNBC akd Race Card Central. lol

One thing about a racist is they hate being called out and made for being one. If that's what you are just own it. It's sad and pathetic but you are what you are. By the way he didn't give any "vision of America" all he did was demagogue the President and spew off erroneous gibberish and he was like glass, they saw right through him.

He only expected to have an opportunity to speak with men of character.

Racism knows no color; and yet.....

The reality is the Obamanation is better for those dependant on goverment handouts and special consideration programs...so long as you are not a self-sufficient, productive, successful and pay taxes; those people have to carry and support the ones accepting their 'entitlments'.

Sure, if you can't get the black vote one may as well solidify the redneck vote.

Honorable.....he's the best we have

it's sad isn't it.

Yet the best the Dem's put up is a drug-using community organizer who spends at $1T per yr and blames everyone else for his problems.

Yeah, good job.

Hmmm...drugs...this is how far the republican party has fallen...you guys can't even beat a drug using homosexual from Kenya...it's hilarious.

Not a Republican and Obama is the one who wrote about his drug use.

So yes, it is pretty sad that America had fallen so far that a war hero was beaten by shadow candidate. People were too lazy too check out what he wrote in his book or even listen to what he was saying. He had no executive, economic, or foreign experience and we have paid for it over the last 3 1/2 years.

More likely, he didn't care one way or the other.

The NAACP is a joke. Ofcourse he wasn't going to get the Good Housekeeping Seal of Approval. However, those that booed him, obviously are "clueless" about politics, and have no respect for even hoping that MLK's dream one day will come true.

Does it matter? That's like saying "I'm from the IRS. I'm auditing you this year since your taxes seem fishy. I hope I don't find anything." It is no different than saying the same thing except "I hope I find something". Either way, if something is found, you are exposed for tax fraud/evasion or whatever.
The NAACP just showed their true colors....either way they would have been exposed as racists....

THIS ANALYSIS IS PURE...DAMNED IF YOU DO AND DAMNED IF YOU DON'T.

HOW STUPID ARE FOLKS?

Ridiculous.

He brought the Greek Chorus it was all plants man I can not trust a man I can not have a beer or coffee with

That's only reason he showed up at the NAACP. He wanted the sound bites, It's to be used racially - so Whites see this poor white corporatist being booed by the Blacks, who can't understand the good he will bring, and hopefully this will encourage more White votes for Mittens. Republicons are a sick breed.

And that same crowd would have screamed "racist" if he hadn't shown up, but they had no problem forgiving their President for not bothering to come speak with them. Hypocrits.

I'm afraid you have that wrong.

I'm sure he's going to try to use that to justify his comment about the NAACP wanting free handouts.
