Tommy Christopher, Rachel Maddow Expose Their Racism In Misguided Romney Attack
Via Conn Carol at the Examiner's Beltway Confidential, here is Mitt Romney responding, not to the NAACP yesterday, but "a white female about birth control in front of a mostly white audience in Peoria, Illinois in March":
You know, let me tell you, no no, look, look let me tell you something. If you’re looking for free stuff you don’t have to pay for, vote for the other guy. That’s what he’s all about, okay? That’s not, that’s not what I’m about.
Yesterday, Mitt Romney said basically the very same thing as regards the NAACP convention attendees and ObamaCare. This clearly demonstrates that Romney makes no distinction between the two groups. One would assume he believes them to be hard working American taxpayers, many of whom are all too quick to accept big government promises without pausing to think on the price that must ultimately be paid by them for government giveaways.
But don't tell that to hypocrites like Tommy Christopher and Rachel Maddow, unable to see, let alone acknowledge, how much they are driven by a racist mindset. They immediately assume the worst of the people gathered for the NAACP convention, when it's obvious by example, Romney took them to be no different than a white group he had addressed on the same topic months ago. Christopher and Maddow allow racist attitudes to color their judgment of everyone and everything. They are racist in their thinking; there's no other excuse for it.
There has been a lot of speculation today aboutMitt Romney‘s motivation for giving a speech to the annual NAACP Convention, and trashing Obamacare in the process. Romney himself said he “expected” to be booed for it, and in remarks first reported on The Rachel Maddow Show tonight, he demonstrated why. According to a pool report from Romney’s Hamilton, Montana fundraiser, he brought up the booing, and told donors “if they (Obamacare supporters) want more stuff from government tell them to go vote for the other guy – more free stuff. But don’t forget nothing is really free.”
The quote is so tone-deaf, and such a naked appeal to the “welfare queen” brand of racial and class resentment, that it’s almost hard to believe it’s real. Here’s how Rachel Maddow reported it on her show Wednesday night:

You could just as well call it ‘racial opportunist’ mindset- they know perfectly well not everything in the world is driven by race, but along with the President have no cards left to play
But Romney seems to be upping his game, and his lack of pandering in front of the NAACP yesterday was refreshing- particularly the ‘If you want a president who can improve things for African Americans, you’re looking at him- go ahead, take a look!’ -hey, not bad
Give ‘em hell, Mittens
I knew Maddow was in orbit but didn’t know how f**king far off the planet she really is until I saw her show.
Its scary to think she believes the BS she shovels on a daily basis.
Does she believe it?
Communists always start with lies, and only after they get in power do they move on to theft, enslavement, torture, and murder.
Slight problem; there is no “free stuff” in Obamacare. In fact, the individual mandate that the right hates so much is an ANTI-freeloader measure.
When Mitt accuses the NAACP of being lazy and shiftless, it sure sounds racist — but it may just be bad judgement. When he says Obamacare provides something for nothing, he sure sounds like a liar — because he IS a liar.
Try not to be so stupid. It’s not an anti-freeloader measure. It’s a forced subsidy to skew the actuarial rankings of the elderly by forcing the young and healthy into a market they’re a minor consumer in.
Anti-freeloader? Just exactly how many freeloaders are there? You lefties try to make it sound like millions of people are heading to the ER for every scratch or cough and then stiffing the hospitals. Bullroar! Why not ask why the ER costs so much? It’s not the few freeloaders. It’s mostly because the price of medicine has more to do with Congress declaring medical insurance to be non-wage, non-taxable compensation, than with the people who skip out on their ER bills.
And since when are you lefties upset about freeloaders anyway. You’re the guys who want as many freeloaders as possible, because even freeloaders feel guilty enough sometimes to vote for the people who give them the freebies, that is, the Dems, mostly.
Maddog is a democrat supporter. Of course she’s a racist. Democrats have been racists since the party came into existence. I can’t understand how people keep forgetting – or ignoring – that!
