Romney did it on PURPOSE! (re NAACP) [View all]

Seriously!

Romney himself said he expected to get boo'd there. Think about it. Not only did he say he would scrap ObamaCare, but if you listen to the speech, he said several other thiings in a way in which he KNEW would come off particularly offensively.

He was goading people.

He wanted a stir. He knows that the majority there would never vote for him, so he used them to score points with the Racist component of his base.
