Supporters at Romney rally tell cardboard Obama to ‘Go back to Kenya!’ | The Raw Story


Quote:
"Supporters of Republican presidential candidate Mitt Romney on Monday hurled racist and offensive insults at a life-sized, cardboard poster of President Barack Obama while they were waiting for the GOP hopeful to speak in Denver.

The liberal group ProgressNow Action brought the Obama poster and a video camera to the Wings Over the Rockies Air and Space Museum to give the group of potential Romney voters a chance to tell the president what they really thought of him.

“Shouldn’t he be in the bowing position like he did in front of the kind of Saudi Arabia and China?” one man asked.

Romney supporters also called the Obama likeness “comrade” and “Muslim.”

“Strangle him,” a woman suggested."

I love the douchebag with the "47% for Romney". What an idiot. So basically he' agreeing with Mitt that he's a freeloader.

"Strangle him" was a racist remark?

No, but wanting to send "back" him to Africa might be, just might be.

Send him back to Kenya is what they said, not Africa.

He's really pissed a lot of Americans off you can't argue with that.

At least ship him back to Indonesia so he can be with his "Muslim faith".

Most Americans are middle of the road trying to survive the train wreck of the economy which isn't all Obama's fault.

That was at 10 seconds (you can't even count)

at 14 seconds: "Target Practice" and it goes from there.


0:14 - "Target Practice"
0:23 - "Please, you're making us throw up"
0:40 - "What's the point of this abomination here?"
1:03 - "Is this where we get the free Romney iPhones?"
1:43 - "Strangle him"
1:50 - "Original Muslim"
2:18 - “Why are you supporting an Islamist, Marxist idiot?”
2:23 - “He looks real good standing on a street corner, In about three months, he’ll be doing that all the time.”
2:28 - "Black and used up"
2:37 - "Can you punch him?"
3:18 - (Done in a fake "ebonies" voice) "Got my Obama Phone, got my Obama Cash, I got my Obama Everything. I'm just Mrs. Obama. I got my Obama Food Stamps, and 47% of us pay for everyone that has nothing. Oh yeah"
3:40 - "Nobama. Go home. Go back to Kenya"
3:54 - (Voice One) "We're very peace-loving people" (Voice Two) "Let's do target practice"
4:30 - "Is that your Muslim communist buddy?”


Oh, and anyone noticed the make up of the people who attended?
