Mitt Romney NAACP Speech Edited To Appear He Was Applauded, Not Booed (VIDEO, PHOTOS)

Mitt Romney was famously booed during his speech to the NAACP earlier in July, but you wouldn't know it from watching a new video he's released aimed at African-American voters.

The video features African-American Romney supporters explaining why they favor the Republican nominee. Their comments are edited together with footage of audience members nodding their heads along with Romney and standing to clap at his remarks, giving the impression that he was warmly received at the civil rights groups' annual convention.

But while there was polite, muted applause at various points during Romney's speech, there was prolonged jeering when he said he would repeal President Obama's signature healthcare law, followed by loud boos and snickering when he told the audience "If you want a president who will make things better in the African American community, you're looking at him."‬

Of course, you can see the unedited version...(along with some very funny pictures of the audience reaction)...

But, golly, the Romney camp wouldn't "creatively edit" footage like that....Would they?!?! :VeryScared: I mean, like taking comments out-of-context like Obama's speech about how we all help each other?...Nah....They wouldn't do that...

rofllol :lol:

I sort of mentioned the "highly edited" campaign video when Otis posted it.

They edited in people shaking their heads in agreement to statements he was making.

But that's the nature of campaign ads. Some people say they love them and believe them.

You just have to remember none of it is real, no matter who the candidate is. Millions of dollars have been spent making the candidate look presidential and human.

It HAS become Standard Operation Procedure. Alter the clips, and campaign against stuff Obama never said.

Hey, it should work! The goons that watch it are dumb enough to buy anything...

If anyone bases their vote on campaign ads it should not be counted.

And Saul was right...(As he was about most things...)

And the GOP is such a 'target-rich environment'....
