Limbaugh: Romney sounded like Snow White with testicles at NAACP..

http://dailycaller.com/2012/07/11/limbaugh-romney-sounded-like-snow-white-with-testicles-at-naacp-convention-audio/

During his radio program Wednesday, conservative talker Rush Limbaugh had some rare words of praise for former Mitt Romney’s speech to the NAACP in Houston.

“Romney goes in there,” Limbaugh said shortly after the address about Romney’s remarks on Obamacare, “and he sounded like Snow White today with testicles.”

“That’s not what this bunch wants to hear.”

Limbaugh played the clip for his audience, complete with some in the NAACP audience booing Romney. The host wondered aloud what those booing audience members could be for if they seriously disapproved of the Republican’s message.

NPR, a wholly owned subsidiary of the 1%..

Joe Olivo owns a small printing press in New Jersey that employs 47 people. Olivo tells Raz that a higher minimum wage basically raises the whole wage scale and would force him to make cuts.

"What happens is the employee who's been here for 3 years and has more experience than a person making an entry-level wage, they will rightfully want more for their seniority," Olivo says. "So what it does to me as a business owner, by pushing up wage scale, it increases my expenses."

Olivo says that means he either has to increase revenues — difficult in the current economy — or he must find ways to cut expenses: cutting employees, not hiring new employees or bring in new technology to decrease the number of employees he needs.

"So it really hurts my current employees and it also prevents me from bringing on new ones," he says.

Results of my first and most likely last alert..

What I find most ironic is that all the jurors but one evidently agreed with me..

At Sun Jul 1, 2012, 08:41 PM you sent an alert on the following post:

That is poor people logic
http://www.democraticunderground.com/?com=view_post&forum=1002&pid=887449

REASON FOR ALERT:

This post is disruptive, hurtful, rude, insensitive, over-the-top, or otherwise inappropriate. (See <a href="http://www.democraticunderground.com/?com=aboutus#communitystandards" target="_blank">Community Standards</a>.)

YOUR COMMENTS:

I read this as a broad brush attack on the poor, asserting that all poor people are flawed in the same ways.

The single defining characteristic of poor people is that they have little or no money, to imply otherwise is bigotry.

JURY RESULTS

A randomly-selected Jury of DU members completed their review of this alert at Sun Jul 1, 2012, 08:47 PM, and voted 3-3 to LEAVE IT ALONE.

Juror #1 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE and said: It is wrong headed and ignorant, but I don't think it breaks the rules. I hope the rest of the thread gives him hell for it.
Juror #2 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE and said: post is not really ok, but makes a point that some people believe to be true and really does need to be discussed as to why
Juror #3 voted to HIDE IT and said: Unnecessary broad-brush attack on a group of people
Juror #4 voted to HIDE IT and said: I agree with the reasoning of the person who sent the alert.
Juror #5 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE and said: Insulting, wrongheaded and arrogant but not against TOS. Best to answer this one rather than hide it.
Juror #6 voted to HIDE IT and said: It's a broad brush attack.

Thank you.
