the difference is that Romney was giving a public speech.

I don't think it was a public speech. It was a speech to those people who paid to hear it.

This was a private conversation and millions of people express the same sentiments every day.

Same cr** as with Paula Dean.

It's none of anyone's business.

I’m not sure what the law is in Cali. But where I live you are allowed to record a conversation you are involved in.

Absolutely agree. I am sick of this PC garbage. This is the thought police. Paula Dean’s comment was 30 years ago, right? Geeeeeeeeeeee what were we all thinking 30+ years ago?

None of anyone’s beeswax what we think. This moral outrage is disgusting as well as the media’s take on it. All these TV dudes and dudettes jumping on this old man, Cliven Bundy, etc. makes my blood boil. But it’s ok if you’re black / negro / latino or a rapper or Reverunnnnnnnnnnnnnd Al to say/do whatever you want.

Well, California is a two-party consent state when it comes to wiretapping

For the same reason no one is talking about the fact that this rich, white Jew is a liberal Democrat that donates big buck$$$ to the DNC and was going to get an award from the NAACP on Sunday.

“Why aren’t we also outraged that Donald Sterling was secretly recorded?

For the same reason the libs didn’t care that Sarah Palin’s email got hacked..............to them the end justifies the means.

And why is there no outrage that a CEO was forced to resign after his PRIVATE donation to a referendum initiative was discovered 6 years later?

If Sterling were racist, he’d have hired an all-white team. But he’s been signing large checks to black athletes for decades.

I wonder whether the gf recorded this and then tried to blackmail him for more money. When he said no, she sold the tape to the sleaziest buyer, no surprise it’s TMZ.

In addition to privacy issues, there is the matter of rich older guys and their bimbo girlfriends.

So although Kareem is black, he is also a rich older guy. So one would think that the aging successful blacks would have a conundrum as far as should their race or their status rule their lives? It is a bad precedent to give too much credence to shrewish bimbos biting the hand that feeds them.

Listening to the tape it obvious she was goading him on and basically trying to make him say things that he might not have otherwise have said. As it was it was very mild and seemed more like he was objecting to her stepping out with people and being very public about it. The black thing was really kind of secondary as opposed to what she was doing. That was the catalyst.

And that sums it up nicely, angry elephant. I wonder whether Sterling can or would sue her.

I listened to the tape...and it was obvious to me it was a pre-planned set-up by the bimbo in cahoots with other conspirators set on blackmail.

As you listen to the back-and-forth conversation, it is exactly as if she was reading a script. Her questions seemed "set".....stilted.....with an unnatural, unspontaneous aroma and cadence to them.

I do suspect the girl friend was setting him up. I heard some of the taped conversation and paid more attention to what she was saying & how she was saying it. But I believe it is at a higher level than just blackmail. It may have been a wag the dog, don’t let a catastrophe go to waste scenario. Look at all the players getting involved to make this a big news event in the social justice realm. I believe this incident has timing & purpose.
