One thing thats encouraging about candidate Romney is that he has the BALLS to go in there and tell them what he believes and ask them for their vote

Many of them are conditioned to believe the lies that leftists keep repeating to them but there are some who are ready to listen, after seeing Obamas piss poor performance (especially with regard to the economy)

With Video from MSNBC with the NAACP DIrector.

Did the Romney campaign plant supporters at NAACP speech?:

Did Mitt Romney's campaign plant African-American supporters in the audience to cheer for the speech the candidate gave Wednesday to the NAACP? That's what the NAACP's Hilary Shelton claimed on The Ed Show. (See Late Updates below).

Romney said today that after the speech, at which he was booed for saying he'd repeal the Affordable Health Care Act, he met with black leaders who told him they support his policies but are afraid to do so publicly.

But on The Ed Show, Shelton said those were likely people brought in by the Romney camp "to actually provide the cheering for him."

"Quite frankly, the campaign actually gave me a list of African-American VIPs that they brought into the NAACP meeting," Shelton told Ed Schulz. "So we were aware that they had people brought in specifically for the campaign. So I'm sure those were the ones they sat down with, because quite frankly none of the rank-and-file NAACPers met with him."

Indeed, despite the boos, cheering can be heard at various points during the speech, including when Romney criticized President Obama over the economy and education.

Shelton said that none of the people Romney met with were active NAACP leaders, and that Romney's referring to African-American conservative politicians like Niger Innis who "was brought in from New York."

Pressed by Ed Schultz about whether Innis and the others were actually members of the NAACP, Shelton said: "They're bringing people in that they know will support his agenda from other places, that aren't active with the NAACP. These are people who are brought in to actually provide the cheering for him, so there will be some support along those lines."

My esteem for Mitt grew a millimeter or two that he would stand up there and fire that shot.



Agreed. Bush was a weenie that deliberately played to Colorado Springs and Provo, to get friendly audiences. One of the things I liked about Obama was that he was willing to face less-than-friendly audiences (not so much any more). I'm impressed that Romney was willing to play to an unfriendly audience.

That said, booing just plain lacks class. I don't care who does it or who it's intended for.

Arguably, but if there were plants in the audience who'd been put there to try to prompt cheering from the crowd like an opera clade, then I could understand other elements of the audience wanting to drown them out to show that these people didn't speak for the rest of them. As has already been pointed out, at least it's a bit classier than calling a President a liar from the Senate floor...

Pointing to what she sees as Romney's lack of interaction with the poor African-Americans, Manning added, "It's such a big gap in what he's attempting to sell us."
blacks are too stupid to run their own businesses, or handle a savings account.

It must be pretty bad when your own leadership thinks you're too stupid to handle a savings account.

Status: offline 		Not surprising that you would take that being what she meant, but it is no surprise that public transportation in the hardest hit areas have been slashed to the bone... Let alone get the money together to be able to afford to open savings accounts , be able to start a business and be entrepreneurs. Opportunities are bad for many people...blacks, latinos, poor and underemployed.

Have you missed all the news /information about the poor suffering such?
You are projecting quite badly again

No, you misprisioned her. Where does she say that "blacks are too stupid to run their own businesses or handle a savings account"?

She neither said nor implied that.
How do you get that from the rather different comments that you quoted?

Status: offline 		I`m so glad Mittens stepped up and admitted that the African American community suffers disproportionately more than other Americans....thus starting a long needed discussion as to why this is so.


For example.....blacks suffer 4 times more from asthma.


This kind of disproportionate suffering by African Americans is historic and age-old.....certainly not as the kooks are implying...that it`s b/c of Barack Obama that blacks suffer more....

So.....brave cons......why do blacks suffer more,gain less and do worse than other Americans?
