Limbaugh today - Romney's NAACP speech was "over these people's heads"

[underpants]

So Romney takes advantage of the occasion. He goes there and makes a speech that is, really, I think over these people's heads, in the sense that his audience was much larger than just inside the convention hall. He's got the media there, and here's an opportunity for Romney to be himself, tell everybody what he stands for, what he believes, what he wants to do, what his problems are. It doesn't matter if he gets booed

That text is directly from his site - I not posting a link to his site on DU

1. Well, if RUSH says so

I mean... jeez.....

Yeah, I know he's popular... that doesn't make him either accurate or good. (After all, Britney Spears has been selling albums in the country for a while now)....

Yeah, it's all stupid coming from Rush... which is why I wish those of us of the left wouldn't react every time he has a brain fart.

Rush Limbaugh: Mitt Romney booed at NAACP because white

Politico - ?2 hours ago?

[longship]

11. Let's test that hypothesis, tomorrow.

Joe Biden is white. Let Rush recant when the NAACP fails to Boo him.

Huh, Rush?
<crickets>

[MissMarple]

7. Brilliant

He just can't help flushing himself down the toilet.

[Ezlivin]

8. Of course it was

He was standing on an elevated platform.

But the content of his speech was not over anyone's head.

[yourout]

10. Yep.....he was talking right down to them......In more ways than one.

[HopeHoops]

12. Oh yeah. Everyone *KNOWS* that blacks can't think for themselves.

Why is that pig still on the air?

[BumRushDaShow]

13. I thought Rash wasn't supporting Rmoney anymore?

[aint_no_life_nowhere]

14. So Limbaugh and Sharpton agree

Romney used the NAACP audience as a prop and took advantage of the occasion to deliver his spiel to a wider audience including his base. Saying it went over the heads of the audience in attendance is just another way of saying it was conservative dog whistle code that only fundies and bigots would able to grasp and that it wasn't intended for anyone else. Rare honesty from the pig.

15. Limbaugh got the message, the people at the Hamptons got the message but......

"But my college kid, the baby sitters, the nails ladies -- everybody who's got the right to vote -- they don't understand what's going on. I just think if you're lower income -- one, you're not as educated, two, they don't understand how it works, they don't understand how the systems work, they don't understand the impact."

It's getting to where you don't even need a secret decoder ring to understand republican double speak.

Or their contempt of us commoners for that matter.

[Initech]

16. They're not booing - they're saying boo-urns!!

[madashelltoo]

17. If the Oxycoden addict says its so, then

it's so. Over their heads. He should know, because when he gets high he sees lots of things over his head that he doesn't understand.
