Pelosi: Romney made 'a calculated move' to get booed by NAACP
The Hill ^ | July 11, 2012 | Justin Sink

House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) said Wednesday that Mitt Romney made a "calculated move" to get booed during his address earlier in the day before the NAACP.

“I think it was a calculated move on his part to get booed at the NAACP convention," she told Bloomberg TV.

Members of the civil rights organization booed Romney when he vowed to repeal President Obama's signature health care law.

Romney said earlier in the day that he "expected" a negative reaction to his speech, which NAACP President Benjamin Jealous said included positions "antithetical" to the interests of the civil rights organization.

He told them he could help them get jobs, and they freaked out at the prospect of being able to go having to work.

The NAALCP would boo MLK if he were there to speak.

Double header here ~ he’s not that smart, and she’s paranoid.

Actually, Pelosi is not stupid (unlike Boxer, who is hopelessly "special"). This (I strongly suspect) means that Pelosi is a liar, who peddles falsehoods that have been premeditated and committeed and (again, my suspicion) assigned by the WH.

The truly cynical and vulgar part is that when she plies these lies, she believes that WE are stupid enough to believe them and that she's succeeding in deceiving us. (In that sense, she lies to herself.)

>”Congressional Black Caucus Chairman Cleaver said Romney should not have criticized President Obama in front of a black audience but dispproved of audience booing”<

But Obama criticized Senator McCain in front of mostly White Audiences back in 2008 and he wasn't booed.

Oh that's right, Politics is a one way street when you Vote Democrat.

“I think it was a calculated move on his part to get booed at the NAACP convention," she told Bloomberg TV. "And if that sort of thing bothers you, you can show your outrage by donating to Obama and the Democrats at the following websites ...."

There, fixed it.

A White man delivers a speech to the NAACP about creating jobs for the black community, raising test evaluation scores instead of lowering them, demanding better school standards for Black communities, and vowing to improve the incredibly high African-American unemployment rate(how DARE he mention that!)and vowing to repeal a monstrous bill that very few of their members have to be concerned about anyhow.
Not one stinking promise of any new freebies or rights over and above those of regular Americans. Yep,Romney really set himself up for being booed by that group!

Meh, I don't not like him any less for it.

They suck, he sucks, Obama sucks. Diverse hyenas fighting over a meatless carcass.

Nancy is as dumb as a pallet of bricks but she gets the party line.

What kills her is that Mitt (who I never liked) showed mucho courage by going to the NAACP and telling them he would revoke Obamacrap!

I don't like Mitt...but I hate Obama more.

Go Mitt!

Her father, although mayor of Baltimore for a while was an element in what we might call 'organized crime'.

Some call his job that of 'siciliano protectore'.

He taught her everything she knows.

Sorry Nancy, but you're trapped in a reality of your own making.

The MSM is lying by showing only the clips where Romney gets booed. But he got strong applause when he immediately explained his reasons for opposing Obamacare. The Left can't figure it out, so it's lie and spin time.

He should have walked up to the mic and said “I know you won’t vote for me because I’m white. Have a nice day” then walked off.

So, I guess it’s safe for Stretch to say Obama made a calculated move to not get booed by the NAALCP?

You can really tell the Democrats know these black Democrat Plantation Racists booing Romney makes for REALLY bad TV imagery.

It’s fun watching them scramble...

SMART MOVE on the Romney Camp’s part.

This ain’t your Grandfather McCain’s Campaign.

I think he did good.

I was impressed with his composure and delivery. This is the first moment where I see something in him that doesn't nauseate me. He is a crap-shoot and is likely to drift Left shortly after inauguration. Oh but could we hope for a transformation into a principled and focused leader?

naaaaa --- aint gunna happen with Mitts.

Or perhaps, Nancy, you ignorant slut, CNN thought they’d be crafty and only show the booing and thought they’d play it up.

The fact you think it was Myth’s doing tells me CNN screwed up and the ploy has seemingly Backfired.

Oh, and you, Nancy, are an idiot.
