White Victim Speaks Out: Rush Limbaugh says Mittens was booed because he’s white
/
From [HERE] Conservative radio show host (and Head White Victim in Charge (HWVIC)) Rush Limbaugh believes that the crowd at the NAACP booed presumptive Republican presidential nominee Mitt Romney because he’s white.
Mr. Limbaugh accused the NAACP crowd of not allowing the former Massachusetts governor to get his message across about free enterprise. Although Mr. Romney addressed the criticism that he’s taking from Democrats over his wealth, Mr. Limbaugh felt that it did nothing to convince the crowd to listen to his economic reform plan.
“The NAACP thinks it ought to be free at Walmart — or at cost, at least, at Walmart. Look, in Romney’s time at Bain Capital, he helped save or start over 150 companies. Staples. Burger King. You think any of those companies ever hired a black person? Do you think they did? I wonder what woulda happened if Romney woulda told ‘em that? Boos? Accuse him of racism, tokenism? What woulda happened? How come Romney doesn’t pick up a black accent when he goes in there and talks to the NAALCP?” Mr. Limbaugh said. (Boo-f***ing-hoo fat boy. And I guess black people are racist for voting for the first black president.[MORE])
Mr. Romney was met with boos and light applause throughout his appearance Wednesday at the NAACP convention. His appearance was one of the most direct efforts to court black voters in the 2012 presidential race. In 2008, 95 percent of black voters voted for Mr. Obama, and nationwide polling throughout 2012 has shown that he should do well with the African American community in 2012.
“Hey, Romney told ‘em what they unemployment rate was in the black community. What is it, almost 14 percent? Yeah, it’s either 13.9 percent or 14 percent. It’s way high. He didn’t use a number, but he said black unemployment is higher than anybody else’s. It’s higher than Hispanic unemployment, higher than the general unemployment rate. Okay, it’s 14 percent. So he told ‘em: Under Barack Obama, black unemployment is skyrocketing with no end in sight,” Mr. Limbaugh said.
During an interview on Fox News following the appearance at the NAACP convention, Mr. Romney said that his campaign team expected the boos.
“We expected that, of course,” Mr. Romney said. “But, you know, I am going to give the same message to the N.A.A.C.P. that I give across the country, which is that Obamacare is killing jobs.”
Mr. Obama will not be speaking at the convention this week. However, Vice President Joe Biden is scheduled to give a response to Mr. Romney’s speech Thursday.
