As Romney Finishes Visit to Polish Tomb of Unknown Soldier, Press Screams, "What About Your Gaffes?"
Tuesday, July 31, 2012 | Kristinn

Posted on 07/31/2012 6:14:37 AM PDT by kristinn

Reporters accompanying presumptive Republican presidential nominee Mitt Romney yelled questions at Romney about his so-called mistakes and gaffes on his foreign trip as the candidate left the Polish Tomb of the Unknown Soldier in Warsaw today.

The barrage prompted one of Romney's press aides, Rick Gorka, to lose his cool at reporters. Of course, those reporters are making the aide's profanity the story and not their own incredible rudeness.

A transcript of the incident via CNN's Jim Acosta in Warsaw:

CNN: "Governor Romney are you concerned about some of the mishaps of your trip?

NYT: "Governor Romney do you have a statement for the Palestinians?

Washington Post: "What about your gaffes?

NYT: "Governor Romney do you feel that your gaffes have overshadowed your foreign trip?"

CNN: "Governor Romney just a few questions sir, you haven't taken but three questions on this trip from the press!

Gorka: "Show some respect"

NYT: "We haven't had another chance to ask a question..."

Gorka: "Kiss my ass. This is a Holy site for the Polish people. Show some respect."

Acosta added: Moments later, Gorka told Jonathan Martin, a reporter for Politico, to "shove it." About a half-hour later, the aide called reporters to apologize.

The news media would be crucified if they treated Barack Obama this way (they never would, of course.) They should be crucified for their infantile, insulting behavior.

I thought it was impressive to. I had heard about a lot of it in the past. Still he wasn’t my choice, but stuff like this makes me hopeful for our nation to recover.

I took note that there will be one less unhappy frustrated RomneyBot to verbally abuse me ad vainly attempt to bully me into lowering my standards to dirt level to vote for the immoral abortionist and same sex marriage activist, progressive liberal Community Organizer Willard Mitt Romney...

Good luck with the selling bikinis to Eskimos gig theyve stuck you with.....

When i was a student I volunteered at the symphony once a month...

we never sat the audience after the orchestra struck the first note and the first movement started until the break ...usually several minutes...

I never apologized because we expected them to know what they had come to hear and would know the music...

I merely put my finger to my lips and stood there baring the way...

My 5’2” plus heels and gracious smile stood up to big tall men and they ate out of my charmin little hand...

I dont remember ever having an obnoxious one because the others would have just stared them down in shame...

They had dressed up to the nines, diamonds and tux and spent a lot of money for their special night out and the rules of conduct at those events was expected and part of the exclusive theme for that society...

They also were not to bring their champagne into the hall after the interval...I would just shake my head and motion in a nod at their glass...ala Deborah Kerr...

I was fortunate that this was about 30 years ago and in a more gracious place ...

It was fun and I got to hear a lot of great music for nothing...

I was going to school on the old GI Bill and there was no money for extras...

Fortunately I already had an acceptable wardrobe of evening gowns...

We have freedom of the press, all right. Freedom to worship Obama. The Poles have lived under totalitarian governments throughout their history, until only twenty years ago. I hope none of them were around to witness the display put on by Obama’s U.S. state controlled press stooges.

“Gorka: “Kiss my ass. This is a Holy site for the Polish people. Show some respect.”

I’m afraid Mr. Gorka will be looking for work soon. One doesn’t tell anyone to kiss one’s a@# on a “Holy site” for anyone, especially not with the cameras rolling. If he can’t take the heat, he doesn’t belong in the kitchen.

As a former “CORPSE-man” I cannot hear these “real reporters,” suddenly assigned to Gaffe Patrol, without laughing my arse off at their gross mendacity.

Your posting sounds like it would be a great bullet radio or tv ad for Romney; it completely crystallizes all the contrasts...who Romney is and who Obama wasn’t!

<tapping MSM on the shoulder> Uh, ya know, Obama and Biden are walking gaffe machines. The Obama/Romney gaffe ratio is something like 50 to 1. I really can't think of a real Romney gaffe. Certainly nothing on the 'you didn't build that' level.

So, out of “Column Obama” and “Column Romney”, you are choosing who?

Or, perhaps, you would rather sit out this one, and let the chips fall where they may?

If you’re arguement is that there is no difference, I’d suggest a closer look.

Trust me, between now and election day, no better candidiate will arise out of the ashes to overtake either one.

Your move, cowboy.

It was a MSM trap, make him look bad because he refuses to answer questions or have him answer stupid questions about perceived “gaffes” at a memorial site and then say how disrespectful he was. Romney did the right thing, which made the Press shout even louder.

“(Why should I vote for Bishop Romney when he hates me because I am a Christian)”

TennNanna projecting her bigoted views on Romney, just as secular, progressive humanists do on conservatives. It’s you TN who is the hater here, and you claim to be a Christian.

everyone knows TNanna and company shill for BO because it’s TN & co. who can’t stand that a patriotic American who is running for president just happens to be mormon. TN prefers the “christian”-only-when-it’s-convenient BO to remain our leader.

God Save America from 4 more years of BO.

We have a retread going around telling those who expose Mitt to give it a rest.

How’s that for this retread wanting others to keep their head in the sand and eat it. Mitt is a cult leader and that cult has a history and hierarchy that mitt has made an oath to that supersedes any oath to America.

That’s part of your turd cookie you ‘choose’ beenaround - so live with it or zip the lip because WE AREN’T giving it a rest!

So, how about you go sit under a tree and play with yourself?

Doubtless that will be every bit as productive...and more pleasureable...than your current activity.

Your loopy, paranoid attack/rant further illustrates your derangement.

A bit hostile towards truth!! Shows you the evil that you prefer to bow to and think not reading about mitt will make him better. How's that for loopy!!

Revel in your mania or seek professional help.

Your choose your help - and that is Romney - how is that for mania!!!

I have no interest in further interaction with someone so irrational and clearly imbalanced.

There is NO balance to one with it's head in the sand and vehemently will not take it out in any effort to make 'the bad go away' - is irrational and IMMATURE!

Adios, sad sack.

There is NO ONE more sadder than you - now get the head back in the sand because they will be ALOT MORE EXPOSURE of what 'you prefer' lest you will then get grumpy with those who DO EXPOSE him.

Don't give me the Newt BS - I don't believe it for a minute - YOU can't go from A PATRIOT to the EXACT opposite w/o a stop code in place and then telling others they are unbalanced and irrational for exposing evil. You have been a mittbot from the get go - mittbots are NOT known for their honesty! Is your underwear also magic?
