Just because...Mitt Romney

deserves to be boo'd, doesn't mean he should be boo'd.

One suspects he took his message of praetorianism, authoritarianism and sectarianism to the NAACP yesterday specifically to collect the vocal disapproval of his audience.
One of the few things Romney does well is make smarm and a sort of passive aggressive paternalism work for him.
So what he is doing here is trying to look like he "stood up to the NAACP" thus to make himself a martyr and a hero to the GOP base.
Its pretty low politics and a good example of what we can expect from The Romney-Fehrnstrom combination this fall.
Otherwise, this is Romney's idea of a "Sistah Soljah" moment....think about that for a moment.
