Romney hatred toward the president apparent at al smith dinner

[bushisanidiot]

Normally, these speeches are supposed to be self deprecating, but he chose to give a stump speech and attack the president and the press.

1. Awesome

Exactly what I was hoping he'd do. Geez, even McCain lightened up and showed a softer side at the Smith Dinner four years ago. Bravo, Mittbot! Just keep alienating people: you have 18 days left to continue to do so.

[Cha]

13. Perzactly, DarthDem! Who the hell advises him on this.. Or

is he incapable of being anything other than a complete ASSHOLE?

[genna]

21. No. He demonstrated his light heartedness.

[Cha]

25. And, then it went downhill.. Not what I'm seeing on Twitter

Miss Amercia

@BatshitGOP Obama is hilarious but gentlemanly about it. His jokes never cut. Romney's jokes were savage and mean. #AlSmithDinner

Bobfr

@Our4thEstate #AlSmithDinner yet another example that no matter how you dress #BullyMitt he's still, #BullyMitt. If he can't be mean, he ain't happy.

@KrystalBall1 Romney's performance is starting to make me uncomfortable. #alsmith

41. I Don't Think So! :)

Hoping that the American people don't want this complete tool as their leader.

42. Remember, NO ONE advises Mitt. It's been said that he refuses to listen to anyone...

and that's why he sucks so much. He cannot tolerate anyone telling him anything. he's a narcissist.

[Dawson Leery]

2. Political candidates at this event are usually self deprecating, as you said.

Romney was mean and his hatred towards the President was apparent.

[Sybildisobedience]

4. Exactly!

Mitt is supposed to humanize himself thru light hearted self deprecating humor. Even when he's supposed to be charming and the situation demands it, he's still mean spirited.

36. Welcome to DU, and yes he came off as mean and not likable.

[Aristus]

40. Welcome to DU.

Love your user name...

30. Romney's only "self deprecation" was that he doesn't drink and

he used that in about five different "jokes"-- a pathetic performance and unbecoming of the occasion.

I said on another thread that (except for the lame teetotaler stuff) Romney's speech sounded like a bunch of Free Republic posts strung together.

What an asshole he is.

[Generic Brad]

35. It was more like self defecation humor

Proving once again that he is a total shit.

[GeorgeGist]

45. Maybe Butt—chugging ...

Is OK!

[yellerpup]

3. If he'd clinched the Republican nomination earlier

everyone would hate him by now.

[C_U_L8R]

5. Mitt may be rich

But he has no class at all.
He's just a shithead.

[68 Rex]

28. Why ya gotta be insulting shitheads by comparing them to Romney?

[hrmjustin]

37. LMFAO! Welcome to DU!

[BlueInPhilly]

6. DEPRECATING!!! NOT DEPRECIATING!!!

Thank you for your attention.

8. Jesus Christ! Fine. I fixed it it.

Damn, dude..

[Evergreen Emerald]

10. hahahaha

You made me laugh....

[Drunken Irishman]

11. HOW DARE YOU MISSPELL A WORD.

[aquart]

15. We laugh at them for their spelling which gives us literacy obligations.

Also, internet errors get repeated geometrically and do you want that?

[Drunken Irishman]

19. Often the words they misspell are simple, every day words...

Like you're/your, their/there/they're and others...

[BlueInPhilly]

24. !!!1111!!!!!!

Mr Irishman -

I am not a native English speaker and I am not originally from this country. While I have been here for more than half of my life (and Clinton was the first president I voted for), I had to learn English (and spell). And that is why, probably, I see its beauty, written or spoken.

Thank you.

[kooljerk666]

34. i thought no one knew how to spell defectating, never mind....

defecating

[Cha]

16. lol

[dogman]

7. Did Mary Matalin or Pat Buchannan write his material?

Bitter and Catholic.

[oswaldactedalone]

9. Rmoney

a gold plated shithead.

Obama, all class, and extremely funny.

[Cha]

12. A$$Hole "self deprecating"? mittLies couldn't

exactly tell what a world class Asshole he is and totally incapable of telling the truth! rofl

Did he Steam Bully Roll over anybody to get to the podium?

[tufnel]

14. They were both..

Pretty Hilarious.

[genna]

18. What were you watching?

Welcome to DU.

[progressivebydesign]

43. you were quite enamored with Mitt apparently.. you've posted this a few places. nt

[genna]

17. Kick. Romney always seems to make it about himself.

Everyone else is just supposed to fall in line.

He would not make a good president.

[flamingdem]

20. He even bragged about being ahead in the polls! Uhh, not every poll Willard

wtf?

[LibGranny]

22. Nothing he said was funny! All showed his

disdain and hatred for our President! He's an ass!

[ProudProgressiveNow]

23. Ronmey was mean spirited.... nt

Shell of a man.

[mvd]

26. Even McCain was funny on '08. Not Rmoney.

Not only is he wrong on the issues - he is the most mean spirited Republican nominee I can remember.

Notice how Obama kept a lot of his jokes on himself and the first debate, and kept it light when he did not.

[Adenoid_Hynkel]

27. In fairness, the Mittbot has trouble understanding what you humans call "humor"

.

[ailsagirl]

29. I don't think Obama hates nitt...

because he is not a hateful person. But I surely know he doesn't like or respect him!

But I have no doubt nitt hates Obama and all Dems, for that matter.

[SEMOVoter]

31. Mitt is mean. He does not have introspection required for funny.

[Good-Fellow]

48. Wasn't aimed for laughs

He wasn't AIMING for funny....it was another poison-pen campaign speech.

[LiberalElite]

32. yes

Can't miss the seething undertone.

[bushisanidiot]

33. And as an ex-mormon, I can tell you that his joke about not drinking for 65 years

was NOT meant as self D-E-P-R-E-C-A-T-I-N-G. He was bragging on
himself for being a good mormon. So I'm not going to even count
that one as a "joke".

[beac]

39. An he used it 4-5 times, so it was a STALE non-joke.

Pathetic.

ETA: not to mention, who begins drinking at birth??? Guess Mittens thinks us non-LDS have whiskey in our sippy cups.

[bushisanidiot]

44. +1

hahaha!

[Digit]

38. romneys so called jokes made me cringe

They were mean spirited but what else would you expect from someone so full of hate and disdain for others?

President Obama on the other hand genuinely made me laugh and his jokes were not mean.

[Good-Fellow]

47. The hate was OOZING from Romney

Stood up and talked like the only ANGRY, bitter person at a "President's comedy roast".
Couldn't help notice how two tuxedo clad fools behind him laughed quicker at Romney's
nasty barbs, than at President Obama's much more good-natured shots.
Mitt is much to accustomed to being center of attention at all his private, elite functions.
