OK Fine, Here Is Mitt Romney Being Booed (And Booed, And Booed) By The NAACP (Video)

They weren't booing, they were saying, "We don't need another old, rich, white guy."
They weren't booing at all.
"Boo!" is Ebonics for "Mitt!"
You know, like how "bad" is good…
"You jive turkey!"
"I was saying we don't need another old, rich, white guy!"
His wife should of stepped up Airplane style.
"I was saying Boourns."
But seriously, what did you expect Romney?
It had to be planned. Something to create a wedge, so that the Teabaggers would see the blahs being disrespectful toward a major party candidate, confirming their suspicions that Obamacare is a blah-thing designed to take something away from the good white folks, and making them forget that Mitt wears funny underwear and isn't quite one of them.
They were saying "Boo-urns".
Or reboot.
At least he didn't rap.
… or sing.
… or refer to his audience as 'you people'.
Who let the dogs out, my friends.
Or try to eat a donut.
Or dance (the horror, the horror).
YO! YO!
YO YO YO!
I'm Mitt R Money and I'm here to say
I'm the rappingest guy in the USA!
He just picked up another 2% of the white male vote.
Can't wait to hear Rush complain they were "dissing" Romney.
And just for telling the crowd he wants to take their health care away!
As a historically disenfranchised minority, they're just used to getting free stuff.
An' havin' an unfair advantage also, too.
Rush: "They be dissin' him old school, yo."
This.
Youk?-lis.
You'd think he'd be used to it by now.
I kinda feel like busting a capital gains tax in his white ass.
Sweet Wonkette, you just made my morning a thousand percent brighter. "Scuse me while I hit replay…
I say that taxpayer funded healthcare for GOP & Teabagger politicians is a non-essential program. I'm on board for cutting that.
All or none, my friend. ALL or NONE.
And their staff. Don't forget all the TeaTards working for them on the Hill.
Yeah, I know that when I am being booed, citing a survey from the Chamber of Commerce always warms the audience up again…
It's like you read my mind — only faster.
Me two! Or is it too?
Don't knock the Chamber of Commerce, Mittens absolutely kills at their open mic nights.
"See, the 99% buy yachts like THIS…"
Po' white man can't get no respect.
Not to worry … come November, half the audience won't have a voter ID card.
You know what not to do next when the NAACP is booing you? Cite the Chamber of Commerce. You go, bot.
I thought that exact thing…what a clueless dork.
It is clear his recognition circuits and search routines are not working at optimum capacity here. Were his protection sensors overtaxing the processing bandwidth?
Really–a "survey of the members of my yacht club" would've worked SO much better
Can you believe college students, gardeners, and the nails ladies are allowed to vote? They don't even know how things work! Now where's the VIP entrance?
Besides, I thought all the nails ladies were illegals anyway.
Nails that good should be illegal!
I'm going to start digging a series of tiger pits in high-income, gated communities, and label them "VIP entrances."
If nothing else, I'll put the Real Housewives franchise out of business. When I first read that quote, I immediately pictured chinless Vicki Gunvaaaaalson in her wraparound shades, hollering it out the window of her Louis Vuitton wastemobile.
Romney/ Cano 2012
Times like this I need more upfists.
This is just a ploy to get votes from his base of racist white people. What better way to get votes from Bubba than by being booed by NAACP?
He concluded with a joke:
Knock, knock.
Who’s there?
Boo.
Boo, hoo.
.and he laughed himself silly back to his private jet.
They weren't yelling "boo," they were singing "who, who, who let the dogs out." Amiright, Romney?
Love him bringing up a survey of the Chamber of Commerce. There's a group that really reflects average Americans.
It has become a Republican front, consider all the 'message ads' they run on TV.
Where's the mass baptism? Or is that only for the dead?
"And Martin Luther King is a Mormon like me; he was converted after his death".
Mittens was like "Excuse me while I whips this out."
That actually might have worked if he'd whipped out his tax return.
No, dog dammit! I said the sherriff is a Mor-Clang-mon!
Candygram for Romney!
This made my day.
$: – D
"I didn't expect it to be so,…. so big"
A Romney stooge just got on TV and said they were booing "Obamacare" and this proves how everyone hates Obamacare.
Pure. Gold.
Quite the artful bunch, aren't they??
Are you fucking serious?
No, Lupin would get jealous.
THEY WERE SAYING O-BOO-MACARE!!1!
PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE link us to this.
FAP FAP FAP FAP FAP FAP FAP.
Pass the lotion…..actually just put in the basket, I have meeting right now.
Happiness is hearing Mitt Romney grinding his molars into powder.
"YOU'RE NOT FUNNY!!!!"
Mittbot has nowhere near the timing of R2D2.
Or the charisma.
Or sex appeal.
That dude recorded a video of Leia bending over!
After the speech, some of the analysts on MSNBC were talking about how Romney was courting the black vote. Um, no. The Republicans know they won't get the black vote and have never made a serious play for it since Nixon's Southern strategy; they just want to make the appearance so as to try and appeal to non-racist white people while hoping none of them notice the dog-whistles the GOP throws out to the racists.
"… survey by the Chamber of Commerce–"
Those self-selecting web page surveys are always the best way to make policy.
They posted the survey on fauxnewz.com — where they could get a representative cross section of Real Americans™.
Thanks to Wonkette, I'm on several right wing nutz' mailing lists (I ordered Bachmann Palin tickets a year or so ago).
When I get those surveys in the mail I always stuff everything back in the pre-paid envelope and promptly return them.
"stuff everything back in
*the pre-paid envelope*
and promptly return them."
Do you have cats, and do they go poo poo in the litter box?
I'm just asking, is all.
"Back to Plan B, disenfranchise the blahs"
You misspelt "Plan A".
No, no – "Boo" is a term of endearment with them, as in "Hey boo, how are you doing?"
Short for "jigaboo."
"100 years ago you'd be hanging upside down with a fork up your ass."
This is altogether a good thing.
Needs Christie at his side to scream some sense into these people!
What did he expect? It's like going to a NASCAR race wearing a PETA shirt.
Some of my friends own blah people.
None tomatoes? Where are the flying tomatoes?
I heard they're killer.
What, that snowboard guy?
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shaun_White
He should've just stuck to investment advice for their $100M IRAs.
No snark – serious question… does anyone prepare him prior to speeches?
You would think so – surely he knew that comment was volatile at the least. But I doubt anyone on his team expected that clear a response. I had been worried that we would be suffering for want of political comedy, having luxuriated in it during the primary season. It is nice to see again and again that Romney, long seen as the straight man of the Republican pack, is coming into his own as a comedy star.
I just worry that this was planned – so Rush and the other morons could play this over and over…
It will surely stiffen their resolve to step up efforts to fight "voter fraud" among Black voters.
It was very carefully planned. Calculated, even.
He smiles to himself thinking, "Now I know how the good guy light skinned Nephites felt when attacked by the evil dark skinned Lamanites, but the light skin people are beloved by Jesus".
OMG you read that book too!
They weren't booing at him, they were booing near him
If Romney gave a speech in Baghdad the stage would be covered in shoes by now!
Why are they so uppity? Because they don't understand he knows what is best for them!
"I believe that if you understood who I truly am in my heart, and if it were possible to fully communicate what I believe is in the real, enduring best interest of African American families"
They might get run over by a car on the way to the voting place or get a paper cut from the ballots. Best not let them vote at all!
I'm just surprised that they weren't saying, "Bring me some more iced tea, M-Fer!"
Well, that was not awkward at all.
Romney heard the boos and thought it was that oh so funny Arsenio Hall show the kids are into these days. Oh you dogpound, whoop whoop, indeed.
Unfortunately, the video ends before the part where the audience yelled:
"SHOW US YOUR TITS!!"
mittbot achieved his goal of
a) not tripping over the podium and falling face first into Coretta Scott Kings lap and
b) getting booed by mean racist black people proves to the white supremacists, mittbots base, that black people are the only true racists.
Very successful day, cause the news programs today will be dominated by mittbot being booed by black people. Victim status reaffirmed!
Don't leave in suspense. What were the results of the chamber of commerce survey?
If I had to guess, "Taxes should be cut. Regulations are bad."
127% of respondents* believe that tax cuts for billionaires create jobs. That makes it a fact.
*After correcting for the obvious fake responses (that said otherwise.)
"What were the results of the chamber of commerce survey?"
They think Mitt's an asshat, too.
Meanwhile, from Fantasy Island, comes NRO declaring Mitt Romney's appearance before the NAACP a success!
http://www.nationalreview.com/campaign-spot/30848…
At least he didn't say that the NAACP were the real racists. But I'm guessing that someone has.
Luckily Andrew Breitbart is still dead.
This is GREAT NEWS for MITT ROMNEY !!!
"We beat the point spread!"
(Srsly, this was what one of my fellow college students yelled from the top of the bleachers to one of his friends after our football team got creamed.)
Strange. It did not include the results of the Chamber of Commerce survey?
Thanks for the link. They report that in the end Mitt got "a standing ovation." Until I see evidence otherwise I will interpret that as the audience couldn't leave the room soon enough.
Also noticed the little wedge he stuck into the speech regarding defending "traditional marriage." Nice one, Mitt.
Those people are always so polite. They're appreciative for the raw material for them to chuckle over later.
Nobody threw forks or yelled for ice tea in the middle of the speech, either.
Citing a chamber of commerce study is one sure fire way to win over the NAACP demographic. Good work Mittenz.
He should have pulled his six-shooter, pointed at his head and forced himself off the stage saying: "Hold it! The next man makes a move, the nigger gets it!".
Would this count as a blah speech to blah people?
If only Ann could have come in to unzip him so that those people could see he's not stiff at all. Just misunderstood.
The only way that clip could be funnier is if after the crowd started booing, an alarm sounded and the Sandman came out dancing and shooed Romney off the stage with a broom as the whole audience cheered and pointed off the stage.
Oh man, I love you for that.
After they booed him they started demanding some muthafucking iced tea.
If I'm elected president I'll disenfranchise you all and send you back to work on the Mormon plantations. This message was not well received.
That crowd sounded like it was from "The Price Is Right". Mitt Romney, come on down!
No mittens, please tell me. What the fuck did the goddamn chamber of fucking commerce have to say about obamacare.
Sigh. I am going to have this video in a big bowl with cream and sugar.
I would quit today to spend more time with my wife, but I need health insurance for my various pre-existing conditions and risk factors. In 2014, the ACA will give me safe harbor. Unless Romney and the goddamned* Republicans fuck me over.
_________________________
* I mean that literally. They defy God's instructions to help the poor and the sick. It's in teh Bible. They can look it up.
Oh yeah like they pay attention to that shit. If they can fit Ayn Rand and Jesus under their dogma, they are adept at a creating a fantasy world where facts don't matter. Wait, I am just stating the obvious about their positions.
He probably thinks this is hip-hop culture and that booing is like "sick" or "bad" – basically its a standing ovation to the Romney-bot analysis algorithm. He gets colored people.
I still think it's kinda weird to say that something or someone is "the shit", and mean it as a compliment.
Gee, why would the members of the NAACP have any problems with a wealthy, whiter than white guy whose religion taught the inferiority of Black people until it was forced to change?
On the planet Kolob, "BOO!" means "HURRAY!"
He completely misunderstood what's meant by "Sister Souljah Moment". He thought it meant say something unpopular to blah people, rather than saying something unpopular to your supporters. Hey Mitt! Try this with the TP'ers: "We cannot balance the budget without drastically cutting the military and without raising taxes."
He's so out of touch with anything resembling reality that he'd be clueless if they booed that, too.
Romney and the GOP show their disdain for non-white people with every action and utterance they make is just good politics.
The membership of the NAACP booing Romney for his barely disguised contempt is reverse racism.
Mormon Missionaries are trained to endure ridicule.
He should have assumed the Missionary position.
This was as close as I will ever get to seeing Jani play the Apollo.
"And for my next impression…Jesse Owens!"
This just proves that all those NAACP members are either on welfare or want to be – give us our free healthcare, dammit….at least that's the line he's selling the Chamber of Commerce, who is writing another check as I write this….
Should'a just talked about his cadillacs.
Amen.
Curb feelers!"!
Strange. Why doesn't he just run on his actual record on healthcare?
Modesty?
His actual record of taking credit for a bill designed by the state legislature while he was out of town flogging his book?
Christ, what an asshole.
boo this man http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=U_R8tz59TR8
Reminds me of amateur night at the Apollo, right before the sucker gets the hook around the waist.
This somehow proves that blah people are the REAL racists, right?
Thanks Wonkette – that really is refreshing.
Clearly, there aren't enough billionaires in this audience.
Then he closed by saying that "Only in Amercia can a filthy rich white man whose religion used to deny the actual humanity of you people stand and speak freely from his Black Friend-approved script."
It's code, people.
BOO = Boffo Old Oligarch
CHEERIO NEGRO PEOPLE!!!
I still couldn't find the VIP entrance!
But they left out the part where Mittens apologizes to the crowd by offering to buy them all meals at KFC.
What a jackass.
That was beeyouteefull. Too bad the video was not better quality – I could not quite figure out the expression on his face. Was his magic underwear binding? Was he passing a stinker? Or was he thinking "Mommy, get me out of here"?
The booing was coming from…
er um, ghosts in the audience.
Yeah, ghosts.
That's the ticket.
the fuck was the point of this?
no, seriously, what? cause it sure doesn't strike me as someone giving a speech to get votes.
Pandering to people who hate the NAACP.
It's sad, but that's exactly what it is. Pandering to the blatant racists, as well as the "moderate" white people who don't want to LOOK racist, but still think black people are lazy and shiftless and living off the hardworking white people while crying about racism when THEY are the real racists.
The idea of Romney "working" to do anything was the source of the boos.
Rhoades, Fehrnstrom you're lookin' pretty beat / I thought you might feel better with some ribs to eat / Eat 'em, gentlemen, you'll think they're really fine / And if you want a couple more you can get 'em anytime!
It depends on your point of view:
Romney Receives Standing Ovation for Straight Talk at NAACP Convention http://townhall.com/tipsheet/katiepavlich/2012/07…
Hey where's the funny man with a broom who would sweep R'money off the stage when the highly vocal and opinionated audiences booed him off the stage.
God, why wasn't this held at the Apollo?
Honestly, what a cynical ploy. I hate that the NAACP even had to invite him.
This will make your day: Backstage at Jimmy Kimmel's show, Obama reacting to a video of Mitt's speech.
And he probed the Death Star.
