Is it racist to call them "colored"? What is it NAACP?

Well, I really didn't say there was a huff coming from you. I'm simply trying to understand how and/or when "Obamacare" became an insulting word.And? How is Obamacare a poor choice of words?
I'm not understanding what the huff is.
There's certainly no "huffing" coming coming from me. I couldn't possibly give less of a shit about this. I'm not "offended", or "outraged". It neither increases or decreases my appreciation of Mitt Romney.
Just remarking that, in my opinion, Mitt might have strayed a little off-speech.
You seemed like you knew, but if you don't, that's fine.
I just figured I had a better chance getting an answer from you than Marc, if you knew.
Sorta what I'm thinking. He takes egoism to an entirely new level, even for a president, which is a default characteristic as it is.Well, I really didn't say there was a huff coming from you.

Honestly, I think Obama loves that term. Afterall, this was his signature piece of legislation. He spent two years passing the thing. It's not insulting at all.
It's not an "insulting" word, to anyone other than people like Marc that just post every left-wing "outrage" they can find.Well, I really didn't say there was a huff coming from you.

It's a term that resonates with people that disagree with the law, not with an organization that supports the law.You seemed like you knew, but if you don't, that's fine.
It's the left wing version of freaking out about Michelle Obama "forcing us" to make our kids eat better.I just figured I had a better chance getting an answer from you than Marc, if you knew.

Mitt Romney Booed At NAACP Convention For Saying He'd Repeal Obamacare (VIDEO)
It is a bad word and you know it. It was first trotted out by Lush Rimbaugh to disparage ACA and has been since picked up and trotted out by every. single. Republican and RWer in the public and private arena.Since when is "Obamacare" a bad word? (Well, other than what it describes, that is.)
It's not a "bad word".
Romney's a politician. More importantly, his speechwriters and handlers are political people - and the first rule in politics is speaking to your audience.
And I doubt you ever will. You simply don't want to.And? How is Obamacare a poor choice of words?Since when is "Obamacare" a bad word? (Well, other than what it describes, that is.)

In terms of Marc's post, I don't understand it at all. Just what did Romney say that was offensive? The offensive part of Marc's post was the "good members of the NAACP" who invited this candidate to come and had the class to boo him once he came. Thank goodness, most stood up and applauded at the end, but the clods who booed should have been shown the door. Bunch of classless twits.

Hey moran. Do you now how many times he was cheered? He even got a standing ovation at the end of his speech. Obama chose, again, not to show.
Where was this sentiment when the Republicans were booing a gay active militaryman for expressing his ideas? And for applauding a politician saying to let a person die for not being able to afford health care...and not to mention applauding for the death penalty. "Let them die!", they cheered.Honestly, I think Obama loves that term. Afterall, this was his signature piece of legislation. He spent two years passing the thing. It's not insulting at all.

Well, if you can't articulate the reason why a bill which is named after the originator is insulting, that's fine. It's not as if articulation has ever been your strong suit.It is a bad word and you know it.

And you're absolutely right, his speechwriters and handlers are political people and they knew exactly what they were doing with that word and speech. They weren't speaking to the members of the NAACP, but to white Independents and their white RW base who they would gain points with by being seen as tough with blacks or being "the enemy of blacks" by getting booed by them.
More Republican dog-whistle politicking. I see they don't intend to stop.
And I doubt you ever will. You simply don't want to.And? How is Obamacare a poor choice of words?It's not a "bad word".
