Why Did Mint Raw Money Choose To INSULT The NAACP Rather Than Relate To Them?

[Oddball]

He got a standing-o at the end of his speech by demeaning and insulting them?

Interesting spin.

 

[Sinjorri]

Romney started off well, but his intentions were eventually revealed when he chose to INSULT the good members of the NAACP by his demeaning words for the Affordable Health Care act, "ObamaCare" a well-known politically charged word used to vilify the policy Obama has proposed to reduce the cost of health care.

And to top it off, he CHOSE to condescend to the NAACP by stating that "if you want a President that will be good to African Americans...you're looking at him." I thought the RW meme for the last 4 years has been "The President is for EVERYONE." Now imagine if Obama had said that, we wouldn't hear the end of it....the election would have been over before it even started.

Why do Republicans constantly slap down, demean, berate and belittle black people? Why?!??

This is hands-down the SADDEST thread I've seen on the internet today. And that's saying something. This is almost as bad as the guy I heard calling into a radio show today lamenting about how Romney couldn't see that "there's just one race... the human race" at... ahem... an NAACP function.

Good job, OP.

It was a slip-up, sure. I can't imagine his speech was written that way.

But who the fuck cares?

OK. I looked at what the OP mentioned and I can't see any 'slip up'.

What is the slip up?

I would have called it Obamatax

Since when is "Obamacare" a bad word? (Well, other than what it describes, that is.)

I can't imagine the text of Romney's speech as written calling the ACA "Obamacare.

It's not a "bad word".

Romney's a politician. More importantly, his speechwriters and handlers are political people - and the first rule in politics is speaking to your audience.

Everybody calls it "Obamacare" anyway, except for the ones trying to pawn off the largest tax hike in history as some sort of benefit. It's a bit of misnomer if you ask me, because we all KNOW that the only thing Obama really "cares" about... is Obama.

Why the NAACP would be racially incensed at the prospect of formerly free people being FORCED to purchase a commercial insurance product is quite beyond me. You'd think they'd be sensitive to such notions as freedom.

And? How is Obamacare a poor choice of words?

I'm not understanding what the huff is.

You're a bit late, we discussed this, this morning.

He just around to opening his ThinkProgress e-mails.

The shills have to meet their quota.

tbh, I never pay attention to those or to prior posts.

There's certainly no "huffing" coming coming from me. I couldn't possibly give less of a shit about this. I'm not "offended", or "outraged". It neither increases or decreases my appreciation of Mitt Romney.

Just remarking that, in my opinion, Mitt might have strayed a little off-speech.

Its kind of like calling him BARACK HUSSEIN OBAMA MMM.... MMM..... MMM..... (sorry, has to be done that way)

Sometimes its OK, sometimes, No....

 

[OohPooPahDoo]

It was clear he had a positive impact although the media will choose to focus only on the opposition to his remarks.

The media should clearly focus far more on people clapping.

Well, I really didn't say there was a huff coming from you. I'm simply trying to understand how and/or when "Obamacare" became an insulting word.

You seemed like you knew, but if you don't, that's fine.


I just figured I had a better chance getting an answer from you than Marc, if you knew.
