Video: Romney Supporters Respond to Climate Change by Yelling “USA! USA! USA!”

#!



A heckler at a Mitt Romney campaign event yelled the question, “What about climate? That’s what causes monster storms…”

And the crowd responded by booing loudly, then breaking into a sustained chant of, “USA! USA! USA! USA!”

It's their version of "404 Not Found" with a dash of "La la la I can't hear you."

nothing like a little fascist hyper nationalism to suppress freedom of speech. Then they will scream about protecting freedoms.

...to control people.

We're going to have to pry their incandescent light bulbs from their cold, dead fingers.

Really it is just thoughtless, mindless, chanting. Animal Farm makes so much sense in this context.

the crowd to join him saying USA, USA. I wouldn't be surprised if he was put there, close to Romney, just in case someone asked a question Romney didn't want to answer. The Tea baggers at work. Don't think, just follow the rich guy in the red tie and white shirt, he must know something, he's got lots of money , nice hair and ...he's white!

Yeah, because chanting "USA USA" at a hurricane will make it change course or simply disappear.

Same thing regarding drought, floods, high record-breaking temperatures, etc.

After all, climate change is just imaginary right?
