Matt Taibbi’s words on Mitt Romney’s fans regarding the appearance before the NAACP and subsequent public statement appearing to gloat over it. “Shockingly Offensive” doesn’t begin to describe Romney’s “free stuff” speech.

From the article:

the next night he went to Montana and he discussed the experience in front of a friendlier audience. And this is what he said:

When I mentioned I am going to get rid of Obamacare they weren’t happy, I didn’t get the same response. That’s O.K, I want people to know what I stand for and if I don’t stand for what they want, go vote for someone else, that’s just fine…

But I hope people understand this, your friends who like Obamacare, you remind them of this, if they want more stuff from government tell them to go vote for the other guy — more free stuff.

So now this is the message: I tried to reason with the blacks, I really did, but it turns out they just want a free lunch.

Spot on.  Romney wasn’t there to sell himself to the blacks–he was there to sell himself to those who detest blacks and think they’re all on welfare.

Gah, I wish I still had the first post I made on George Romney, Mitt’s father, who so despised the poor.   If you recall, George Romney was one of the biggest landowners in Philadelphia–having property deeded over to him when the poor, who had been sold a broken down house they couldn’t afford, had abandoned the property. It’s a family thing, to make a profit off the poor and then despise them for it.

But…what do you expect from a bully?
