Obama's "you didn't build that" speech was about a twenty times more offensive to me than this, give or take. And that was done in the open.

You're fine, Mittens. Get ready for the debate.

The...speech where he said business owners didn't build roads or bridges?

Yeah, people with businesses totally build their own private roads and bridges. What an offensive line.

if Obama's "you didn't build that" speech offended you, then you probably didn't listen to Obama's "you didn't build that" speech, either that or you are offended by facts, in which case I don't know what to tell you.

[gutter_trash]

the peddling and spin on Mitt's conference was comedic,
his facial expression was shitless

thank you Mitt for helping me win my bet in November, I dine for free

Really? An out of context quote that was true? That business leaders didn't build the roads and military that protect their businesses?

You were offended by the truth?

The speech that was taken out of context?

Also, I'm no big politics guy, but I swear watching those videos was like reading Atlas Shrugged again.

 

[Raxus]

Um, guys. It is an obvious troll. No need to quote it a million more times.

 

[JaggedSac]

This comment (probably) is gonna be a major reason he loses the election, he is going to apologize for this all the way to November.

Nah, it will be forgotten by next week.

 

[googleplex]

You're seeing it. Look at the finalists for the nomination. It looked like a goddamn Rogue's Gallery of dumb fucks. They didn't give half a shit about this election. I'm convinced of that. Romney won by default.

I laughed so hard at this, everyone at work is looking at me weird.

You best start believing in conservatives...

You're talkin to one..

Nah, it will be forgotten by next week.

Agreed, he has plenty of time to embarrass humanity again, by then.

This, exactly. The only people who were offended are the ones who heard only Fox/Limbaugh edits.

 

[Averon]

What is it about Obama that makes his opponents implode on their own?

 

[The Technomancer]

Um, guys. It is an obvious troll. No need to quote it a million more times.

Yeah, I just couldn't help myself

 

[Evlar]

He's aging by the hour, geez.

 

[Cubsfan23]

Pretty obvious troll

 

[Veitsev]

Holy shit Duffyside just trolled you guys so hard.

You don't get it. You physically didn't build the bridges and the roads. The government supplies that for you. That's what he meant by you didn't build it. How is that offensive? Did you fucking build the roads and bridges? If I did and someone told me I didn't I'd get mad, but I'm pretty thankful our government supplies these for us, are you not ?

Ugh nvm, damn troll

 

[watershed]

47% responds to Romney:

"We don't pay more than are legally due and frankly if we had paid more than are legally due we don't think we'd be qualified to be American citizens. You'd think people would want us to follow the law and pay only what the tax code requires."

This is an important point.

 

[Ninja Scooter]

What is it about Obama that makes his opponents implode on their own?

it's the GOP's alliance with Jesus Freaks and Tea Partiers coming back to bite them. They put all their eggs into a basket that became more and more detached from your average American. Even candidates like McCain and Romney, who deep down probably hate that side of the party, are forced to cater to them.

 

[DMB4237]

Um, guys. It is an obvious troll. No need to quote it a million more times.

They all pounce so quickly!

 

[Raxus]

Nah, it will be forgotten by next week.

Did you see how much the republicans held on to a simple speech grammatical error that was taken out of context?

This quote is a gold mine compared to that dirt pile.

 

[Duffyside]

The...speech where he said business owners didn't build roads or bridges?

No, the one where that became the explanation well after the fact once people started reacting negatively. If you actually listen to the context surrounding it, it's real clear that he's not talking about roads or bridges. Y'know, the parts where he says you're not successful because of your hard work or smarts, and that you didn't do it on your own.

But I bet Elizabeth Warren was talking about roads too.

 

[DR2K]

His charisma overloaded Romney's circuits.

Do we have to explain this to you like income tax brackets?

 

[Forever]

That press conference was AMAZING. The look on his face. I will cherish it.

 

[Deified Data]

Nobody likes to hear it.

Well, now that I'm done being hoodwinked by the Internets (so sad), I have to wonder why folks follow this stuff as closely as they do when it's evident they're rooting for Brand X over Brand Y.

Is it the schadenfreude potential? I love laughing at the misfortune of others as much as the next guy, but not with it comes to serious things like running our country.

When our two party system boils down to this, with one candidate being a complete cock and deep sixing his own campaign; isn't it time we start letting other candidates get some of that precious air time so voters can see the other options available?

Irritainment. People love to be indignant.

I'm voting for Jill Stein, but I can plainly see one party is indeed the party of lesser evil. I want Obama to win, though he hardly needs my help at this point.

 

[Angry Fork]

I wonder who recorded the video. If only donors are allowed in then would the person recording be a donor? If so why would they record it? Maybe it was a waiter who hid it under a handkerchief or something?

 

[BFIB]

If he has that face now, can't wait to see the debate face.

No. Duffy is a true believer.

Good God Duffy. 7 people in a row fell for that bait. Well done.

Too much faith in humanity.

 

[j_k_redtail]

Romney is demanding the full video for "context." MotherJones giggles and promises more is coming:

AdamSerwer ‏@AdamSerwer

Mitt wants the full video huh? Well don't worry, there's more to come.

 

[EmCeeGramr]

Have you guy's never read Duffy's political posts? He's serious.

 

[teruterubozu]

Romney is demanding the full video for "context." MotherJones giggles and promises more is coming:

Yeah, I can't fucking believe he said that in the press conference. It's like he can't keep his finger off the self-destruct button.

 

[Kud Dukan]

Romney is demanding the full video for "context." MotherJones giggles and promises more is coming:

I'm all for seeing the full video of any political statement so we understand the context in which it was made, but I'm not sure how context is going to help him here. It seems pretty clear what he was saying.
