Yesterday Mitt Romney turned a previously scheduled campaign event in Ohio into a hurricane relief event. Romney asked supporters to bring canned goods and other supplies to help storm victims recover on the East Coast. He only spoke for ten minutes at the event and quickly jumped in to help load supplies. His campaign bus has been accepting hurricane relief donations since Monday in Northern Virginia. Sounds like a great idea right? Not according to MSNBC.
Reporters and anchors at the far-left TV outlet were appalled at Romney's efforts to give back to the community, after all, his charity and generosity doesn't fit with their "Romney is an evil rich guy who doesn't care about regular people" narrative.

Are these people sick? And yes you heard them correctly, they are actually criticizing Romney for trying to help people.
With all due respect to the Red Cross, they do amazing work, but they are also a large bureaucracy set up like the federal government. Andrea Mitchell made the point in the first video that Romney was collecting things "the Red Cross doesn't need" and that the Red Cross wants blood and money (which by the way, people like Mitt Romney are capable of donating large sums of money to organizations like the Red Cross because they are personally wealthy, something MSNBC has continually demonized).

Do not know how a truly Conservative person would not be supporting Mr Zimmerman
I certainly would NOT consider them a friend, if they knew all the facts, and still sided against him
A fair minded person could NOT take the other side as far as I am concerned.
But hey, I write people off by what they say about Gov Palin.
If folks say mean hateful things about Sarah, I have no respect for them
I have my litmus tests, same deal for folks that are NOT pro life...I have NO use for them
I did not know that about United Way, Laz. That aside, it took a great deal of courage on your part, Laz, to make that journey.
DS gets her news from MSNBC. You’d have to be racist to take Zimmerman’s side according to them. DallasSun may as well get her news from Radio North Korea.
I know too many conservatives for whom I have a great respect who are not pro zimmerman. It has nothing to do with conservative/liberal. I can’t get there from here, friendsofgeorge. But, I do not criticize you for having your own litmus test. We all have our own. I just cannot imagine not liking someone because they disagree with me. (I have been married to a democrat for 46 years)...But still, I respect the fact you are true to yours and would never call you names or insult you because yours is different than mine. And I would defend your right to be true to yours.
You have no idea where I get my news. I get my news from a myriad of sources as most people do, I hope. I never said, nor would I, that you have to be a racist to be pro zimmerman. The North Korea comment...I will not dignify with a comment. Does anyone here ever debate without insult? What must your holiday dinners be like?
“What must your holiday dinners be like?”
They’re wonderful! No libtards allowed.
Courage, hell. It would have taken a LOT more courage to keep using. That world is SCARY!
I took the COWARD'S WAY out! I got out of the lifestyle!
Salvation Army and Samaritan Purse give a lot more help.
Maybe Romney should team up with Samaritans Purse and Franklin Graham.
DS when I responded to you, it was not meant as an attack, in fact I really had no idea,still do not have idea where you stand on Zimmerman.
I was just offering my opinion. I like to think I am supporting George because it`s the right thing to do, not because it`s a conservative issue, so in that respect we are in agreement.
I would say it was more like the right side and the wrong side when it comes to George Zimmerman.
I happen to be on the right side, I clearly see those against him as being on the WRONG side.
I am assuming as I write that you are also on the right side, supporting George
I can think of no more pointless an exercise.
You must agree with me now.
NOW.
Oh Laz. I beg to disagree. I have known you for years here on Free Republic. Never have I seen even a whisper of coward in you. I think you are selling yourself way to short. I have always had a great respect for you. I won’t argue with you..I just want you to know...there is a different view of those who took the journey you took. I wish you could see it from my side. Having said that...it was your journey and you know so much more about it than I do.
AMEN...Franklin Graham is one of my heroes, even more so than his father, whom I also like a lot..Franklin is MORE courageous than his wonderful father
Same thing can be said for his sister Ann Graham, very courageous
I thank you for that reply. And will say I admire the fact you have the courage of your convictions. So few do.
I do! I do! Yes! Now! I do!
Oh my goodness. You should see our dinner table...conservative, liberal, apolitical...not a rude or angry word...It is interesting to say the least. And wonderful discussions.
Dammit. Always the bridesmaid, never the bride.
lol. Forgive me. At least in post 154 I gave you shades of a scene in Sleepless in Seattle.
I’ve had interesting conversations with liberals but since they don’t have all their marbles I would never call it wonderful.
I’ve never met a liberal that I care to have dinner with.
I am sorry...the comment was meant for DallasSun. I screwed up.
I am listening to one such person speaking now. (and sorry but I think he is disgusting). obama is actually s talking about C130s getting in the air to help these people. Also he wants military assets involved.
