MITT ROMNEY TAKES ON HECKLER
The Mitt Report ^ | 02-17-07 | Mitt Report

Posted on 02/17/2007 9:12:08 PM PST by mittreport

You have to see how smooth Romney handles this heckler:

Unchecked bigotry, illustrated by this heckler, toward Mormons is unbelievable. If someone stood up and commented about a person's gender, race, etc., the public and media would be outraged. My guess the mainstream media lets this go unchecked.

It is a sin...there are some people who don't understand that it is considered in bad taste. This person might not have known. There is another Freeper, though, who has flogged his blog continually for the last 6 months, at least, and nobody seems to care.

Hi mittreport-

My advice is to post to previously-established Free Republic threads before rushing to create your own. It just seems to work better around here when newbies hang around for a bit to prove their mettle. Simply an observation.

You can also see the video here. The guy is either an idiot or a plant. In any case, he got booed out of the room and totally pwned by Mitt.

"flog the blog"

Hehe ... sounds vaguely indecent. I agree this guy is a blog whore, but at first glance, the blog looks pretty comprehensive and the video was kind of interesting, so I'm giving him the benefit of the doubt.

Did you watch the video BTW? Man, Mitt is super smooth!

Also, check out the Google ads on the right - at least for me, two of them were Mormon-themed. I wonder if anyone is attempting a little name-association here...

Yeah, that was rude and ill-timed. And I don't necessarily agree about voting only for Christians.

But he was right about Romney.

Mitt takes on a Christian lunatic very nicely here.

Google Adsense works on word frequency with keywords. That's why you see ads for sites selling real estate in Portland, Oregon on another blog that's been flogged to death on Free Republic, that appears dedicated to actually badmouthing and talking down residential real estate. In this particular instance, the word "Mormon" is no doubt used a great deal, so you get ads directed at Mormons, for underwear or whatever.

Right, AdSense looks at the keywords on the site. But the other part of the equation is the advertisers who choose which keywords to push their ads on. So, if I wanted to associate "Mitt Romney" and "Mormon" in people's minds, I would bid my ads for "Mormon Ringtones" on the keywords "Mitt" and "Romney" and "Mitt Romney", thus ensuring appearance on those sites that mention him a lot.

Uh, I really like Romney (at least, better than McInsane or Giuliani) but I don't think the heckler got "owned" or that Romney's response was particularly smooth and persuasive. It seemed quite pedestrian. He never did what he should have, which was to say that he does indeed believe in and have a relationship with Jesus. In one sentence he could shut down the evangelicals and Catholics who are uncertain about whether or not they could vote for a Mormon.

So, you're thinking that there are companies out there blowing their ad budget to push the association of "Mormon" with "Mitt Romney?" Or, I don't know, maybe they're fictitious companies, created by political adversaries? It's not as if his religious affiliation isn't brought up with nearly every mention of his name already, in the MSM, so I have my doubts about that.

It strikes me as much more stratightforward to assume that these companies are merely trying to reach a Mormon audience, to sell their products expressly created for that audience.
