Naturally, most of the coverage about Romney’s speech to the NAACP focused on the boos. It reflected badly on Romney, we are meant to understand. Question: Is there any doubt that if a liberal Democrat addressed a gathering of conservatives (I know, impossible to imagine, but stay with me), and was booed for his trouble, that the press narrative would be how badly this reflected on the audience?
No doubt. Liberals are still talking about the handful of people in a Republican primary debate audience who booed a gay soldier, and how it signified something horrible within the entirety of the conservative soul. No such pontifications regarding the NAACP, of course...
But what liberals fail to comprehend is that Americans are deeply turned off by disrespect of this type. It tends to turn the object of derision into an object of sympathy. And it tends to attract ire towards the group engaging in the boorish behavior.
Not sure if this helped OWS...
By bringing attention to the NAACP's booing, the media is not hurting Romney, it's helping him. As soon as those dumbf*cks realize it, of course, the issue will disappear entirely...
