Ann Rommey calls voters, "you people"

[Riot]

"you people" ??? The arrogance and elitism. It's just sad.

If Obama talked to people like this, angry wingnut heads would explode.

Ann Romney defended her husband’s decision to not release any additional tax records during an interview on Thursday morning, saying that “we’ve given all you people need to know” about her family’s financial records.

The “you people” remark immediately sparked a outpouring of responses on Twitter, eventually leading the #YouPeople hashtag to become a U.S. trending topic.

Twitter users upset with Ann Romney’s comments generally fell into one of two categories: those that believe the Romney family should release tax records because of their extraordinary wealth, and those those took offense to the phrase “you people,” which has historically been used with an air of racism.

Others rushed to Ann Romney’s defense, arguing the family should not have to release any more financial records and refuting claims that the “you people” phrase was intended as a hurtful comment.

????????

"out of context" isn't what you are trying to say, if you link the above. Don't you mean, "she stumbled over her words"? That's not the same thing as "yes, she did say it, but other words go with it" That's not what the link you provided says.

Is English your first language?

Either is using words to mean something else entirely different than the word means, when talking politics. It's confusing and distracting.

Fact is not opinion nor belief, those three things are not interchangable; and out-of-context doesn't mean the person never said it, it means yes, the person did say it.

Or, "you people" meant the media.

You provided a very partial quote. Other words go with it is exactly what I meant. The link was provided to say take a step back it isn't such a big deal.
German is my first language, that is how I understand the way an economy is supposed to work, unlike the President.

The link you posted doesn't say that. It says she did not say it at all

Did you read the link before you posted it?

So the President did say business people didn't build there businesses, someone else did?

[Antitrust32]

wow. I want my last 5 minutes back.

where is this world coming to that people get ragged on for saying two words together that fit into the context of the sentence.

next time she should say "you motherfucl<ers", since stupid people who take offense to everything are going to hate what she says no matter what.

[Antitrust32]

you people disgust me.

(politically correct people, that is)

Pay attention: the link you posted doesn't say Ann Romney said it, but it was taken out of context - like you say - it says she didn't say it at all

Reading comprehension is not your forte huh?

It says, "We Don’t Think Ann Romney Said ‘You People’" in big letters, right at the top. nowhere does the article say she "didn't say it at all" that was all you, once again spinning it to look they way you wanted it to. You suck at debate.

You suck at reading. Try reading past the headline. Maybe you should the first sentence of the second paragraph? Where it says, she never said it ? Seriously - you oughta read stuff you link to, before you post it.

C'mon clip, she just went by you in deep stretch, change leads and give er the whip! or

Yes, yes. Must've missed that assertion. You mean the part where it says, "pretty sure"? That is what is known as a disclaimer in your language (I am assuming English is your language though I am beginning to wonder), disclaimers are used when you do not want to apply 100% verification to something you think.

After watching the video are you sure she said it? I am not. I am "pretty sure" she didn't.
Learn to read and comprehend. Taking "she never said it" from "we are pretty sure she never said it" is exactly what YOU PEOPLE do.

It's the f.u.cking bizarro world of the Obama haters, where not saying something is the same as saying it, and where hundreds of thousands of jobs are nothing.

BWAAAAAAAAAAAAA You are hilarious! You are truly amazing in your inability to say, "Whoops - I said the article said something, but it really said the opposite".

You said Romney said "you people", but it's no big deal. No. The article doesn't say that. It says she never said it at all. Which really is a better argument for you to make, to defend Ann Romney. Too bad you say that's not what your article says - LOL !

Tell me: earlier in this thread, you said Ann Romney did say those words. You said:

You provided a very partial quote. Other words go with it is exactly what I meant. The link was provided to say take a step back it isn't such a big deal.

So do you think Anne said it, or not? Can you at least take a stand on that? I'm dying to know how your mind works - LOL
