Homeless Isaac victim and Romney... the REAL story

Choke on the truth, libtard fuck-wads....

Liberal Media Takes Quote Completely Out of Context to Paint Romney as Out of Touch | NewsBusters.org

But the quote has been taken grossly out of context, and the media reports have selectively edited some significantly positive comments from the very same woman.

ABC reported that Chiarello had told Romney that, "I lost everything". This time however, the account is vastly more detailed and Romney's response is far more helpful than the liberal media would like you to believe.

“He said that he was going to do the best that he could for us.” Chiarello, a Republican who declined to say who she was voting for, said she was pleased Romney visited to be “supportive.”

“He’s good, he’ll do the best for us, he has our best interests at heart,” she said of the candidate, adding that he was different than she’d expected.

“I thought he’d be more like a politician, but it was more understanding and caring,” she said. “He was caring.”

Romney told the women that FEMA could point them in the direction of shelters.

Not exactly a bad guy, eh? What's worse, the original reporting of these quotes from Chiarello by the Huffington Post casts some doubt over their accuracy.

If you take the Huffington Post/AP article at face value, you have the woman saying this complete statement:

"He just told me to, um, there's assistance out there. He said, go home and call 211."

On the other hand, this account from the BBC includes a completely different sentence following the first:

"He just told me to, um, there's assistance out there. He's good. He'll do the best for us, you know. He speaks to our best interests at heart."

How could both news outlets have such differing accounts?

Two possible scenarios.

One - If the BBC failed to report the "go home" statement as the second sentence, then that raises some questions of their own. But it would also mean the Huffington Post article excluded the positive statements immediately following.

Two - If the BBC quote is correct, but the "go home" statement came after the positive comments, then the Post article pulled the positive quotes from the middle of Chiarello's full statement, creating an NBC/Trayvon type of selective editing.

And here's what the White House had to say about Romney's visit...

White House Press Secretary Jay Carney, asked earlier what a private citizen like Romney can accomplish on a visit like the one he made today, said that “it’s always important to draw attention to the fact that individuals and families and business owners are profoundly affected by storms like Isaac, and that’s an important thing to do.”

oh yes, Romney helped her find a federal agency to help her, the same fed agency that Oblama sent down to help in the first place.

Thanks Conservative. I knew the Huffpo piece that Lakhota was driving that the liberals on the board were circle jerking to was bullshit.

way to completely miss the point, as usual.

Getting in late on the conversation in the liberal numbnut's thread, I skipped reading several pages of several pages of posts that appeared to be repetitious garbage. If I missed one where some poster revealed an authentic audio tape of Romney's conversation with the women, please forgive me.

As for giving much credibility to the story and the implication that Romney does not care, I am more likely to win the lottery three weeks in a row. Romney gave all that he inherited from his father to charity. He gives away millions of what he earned for himself each year. (Add up the charitable giving of the top twenty money makers in Obama's administration and you will likely find the sum less than Romney's in any given year. But then, you'd have to get Harry Reid's tax information and he doesn't want t reveal how he got rich AFTER becoming a Senator.)

Romney was invited to Louisiana by the governor.
Romney does not yet have authority to direct federal aid to victims. He will get that at his swearing in as President in January, 2013.

Thanks, Mitten, for admitting that the federal government under Obama is operating smoothly.

 

[Katzndogz]

The big difference is, Jindal is governor and a republican, not a democrat like Blanco and that's why efforts are moving along smoothly.

Way to spin it!

 

[Sherry]

Painting Romney as an evil hater is about as effective as painting voters who oppose Obama as racists...most people just see it as a lame sort of school yard attack with no merit.

Thanks for being the pivot girl.

Ah, I didn't realize Jindal was in charge of FEMA!

So, why didn't Bobby breach the levees BEFORE all those people got flooded?

 

[Dr.House]

Thanks, 0bama, for stopping by for a photo op to show you care..

 

[Charles_Main]

So screw what the guy says in his own words, you still want to think he was a Victom of a heartless Romney even when his own words say nope.

You really are Ignorant arn't you. If you knew anything you would know that when ever they have to decide to Breech a levy to save one place, it means water going somewhere else. The Rural areas out side New Orleans actually suffer worse than they normally would, Because of the Levy system.

They did it eventually which means they could have done it sooner.

Why didn't Jindal do it sooner?

Taking care of business, not "hot dogging it" as Clint would say.

Sooner than what?

Of course. They'd look like heartless fools if they acted like half the posters here, bashing the visit. Although I have no doubt that they were ticked off about the upstaging by Romney.

So you have no idea what the governor's job entails during an emergency. Basically everything Blanco failed to do.
