...and they didn’t throw their shoes at him, either!
Why even dignify them by going there in the first place...the NAA(L)CP is an irrelevant organization that does not speak for the vast majority of “colored” people.

Look at these delusional freaks. Damn i hate these libs!
In my opinion, Romney did a good job. It was no barn-burning speech, but he also did not pander. He pointed out the debt problem, education problems, how having children before completing education and getting married relates statistically to poverty, his intention to repeal Obamacare, etc. He told them he had no hidden agenda, and that creating jobs was his number one priority.
You don’t have to change minds, but softening motivation works too. If different blocs of voters predisposed to vote for Obama simply don’t seen Romney as “scary”, then they might not work so hard, might not put in the same number of hours or feel motivated to give as much money, or cheat etc.
I think this type message really could be geared toward latinos and work.
I did not hear the speech so am not sure he mentioned it, but the elephant in the room is the undercurrent of renewed suspicion and outright hatred in this country between racial communities. It is most blatant among blacks, but a lot of white people who four years ago were still trying to be sympathetic to the situation of the black community have had enough of being hated, threatened, and attacked. I haven’t seen overt racial division like this since the 1960’s and Obama, Holder, and their allies have been doing everything in their power to stir it up.
LOL - that’s a positive. I don’t like Romney at all and don’t want to vote for him (but I will), but his speech was pretty good. He needs to get out more and tell people how he is different than Obama (not that I think he is by much). Doesn’t seem like he is really campaigning. What is he doing with all that money he has raised?
20% of the White middle class that voted for Obama in 2008 say they will now vote for Romney. If the other 80% of the White middle class that voted for Obama would switch to Romney, then the need for Black support becomes moot. Romney would win in a landslide, and owe NOTHING to certain minority groups.
Many barriers remain. (Understatement of political year)

My African American brothers and sisters need to open their eyes. The Democrat Party has been screwing them forever. The Dems held them under Jim Crow laws for years, but worse, the Dems have kept them enslaved through entitlements and special treatment since the 1960s.
The text of the speech looked good on paper, wondering whether those black clan members stayed tuned in during Romney’s speech.
The one rough spot was the booing when he said that he would scrap Obamacare. He stood there smiling while they got it out of their system then kept the smile as he explained that his number one job will be jobs --- and obamacare is a job killer. He won the point.
There's always PETA, NOW and the Sierra Club . . .
Yeah, he wouldn't want to lose that 2%...............
It’s a no-win situation with the NAACP...if you don’t speak to them.
, you’re a “racist”, and if you do speak to them and you don’t say exactly what they want to hear, you’re still a “racist”. But, at least he had the wherewithall to do it. You can lead a herd of sheep to water, but you can’t make them drink...at least without spiking the water with a generous supply of gub’mint handouts.

Link to booing.
But I give romney a ton of credit for going there.
He showed tons of balls today.
Initially my reaction to him speaking to the NAACP was that he should not waste his time.
I now believe that Romney is pretty sharp and what he did was not only very smart it showed some stones too.

I doubt it. The Black KKK (poster boy Jesse Jackson) and the Dems have been in bed for decades. There's a lot of cotton to be picked in that fertile Democrat Party field. The Dems along with the Black KKK have picked an insidious way to addict the African Americans to remain enslaved: make them totally dependent.
