Jackson Jambalaya

He did what he had to do. Otherwise, his absence would have been red meat to the media. Even more newsworthy will be the ever-angry-assed loud-mouth Schmoe Biden's frothing at the mouth today on the same stage. I expect Biden to claim both his parents were poor and mixed-race.

I can't imagine why ANY white person would address that collection of "whitey hating" buffoons..

Like Romney or not it took some guts to speak to a hostile crowd like the one gathered. Can you see O, or any Democrat for that matter, speaking to some predominately Republican crowd?

6:38 am...while I'm quite sure that you see anyone who disagrees with you as a " buffoon" ( no doubt because you have contributed so much to society and are a scholar of renown), could you explain the difference in a " whitey hater " and any other racist so we can better define " buffoon"?

That the group is composed predominantly of persons who view white people with a good measure of disdane cannot be disputed, 8:14. Whether they are all buffoons is doubtful. I don't think ANY group is composed solely of buffoons. Unless maybe it's a group composed of Jackson, Sharpton and one other racist.

The difference between a 'white hater' and some other type of racist is that the former dislikes white people. Do you need that explained, really?

Any group formed and perpetuated with the stated intent of advancing their race ('Advancement of Colored People) obviously does so to the exclusion of or at least at the expense of another or others. Is that unclear to you?

Listening to all the talking heads on every station early this morning, it is my conclusion that there was pretty much 100% agreement that Romney exhibited bravery for wading into unfriendly waters. Liberals and conservatives alike drew that summary. Black as well as white reached the same conclusion. That's not a racist statement; only a factual one.

I think he was right for attending and addressing the audience. He did a good job, didn't run and hide from what could be perceived as an audience that’s not 100% behind you, and he spoke about what he stands for. Took balls and that was the right way to go.

Note that Obama won't be addressing them at all. It's Biden.

Thanks a joke right!!If you are not espousing that white is holding you back, then the NAACP aint listening!

When Liberals label the NAACP, namely Cornell West, a "hateful group" you have to wonder why they have any mainstream credibility.

Romney did show courage.

25 seconds is not representative of an hour. There was more applause than boos.

This is mountain out of molehill stuff and more indicative of the sorry state of news these days than anything else.

If anything, Romney's advisors dropped the ball by not telling him that calling the bill " Obamacare" is use of a buzz word that wouldn't play well in this group.

Most people don't really understand the ramifications of Obama care and what it is going to visit on all citizens of this country. My insurance premium almost doubled, but it is reliable insurance, but others were forced to go with inferior insurance companies because their good insurance mandated it. By the time the true horror is known by all, it will be too late. Obama won't care, because if reelected he will begin to REALLY show his true motives.

Romney is a nice man, but he cannot even begin to fight the machine that will do WHATEVER it takes to reelect Obama. Just my opinion, but Romney was admirable to speak to the NAACP, knowing he was against an impenetrable hostile racist wall.
Romney could never understand the evil tactics that will be used to keep Obama in office.
