Mitt Romney <i>Mistakenly</i> Refers To Osama Bin Laden as Barack Obama
Via KEYETV: (h/t Scarce)
Obama, Osama. There's a difference, as Republican presidential candidate Mitt Romney is being reminded.
During a speech in Greenwood, South Carolina today, the former Massachusetts governor accused Democratic presidential contender Barack Obama of urging terrorists to congregate in Iraq.
But he was apparently didn't mean Obama -- he meant Osama. As in Osama bin Laden. Read more..
Was it really a mistake? As much as Romney's campaign monitors the media and the internets, he should know the difference by now...
Any person who cannot tell the difference between Osama and Obama doesn't deserve to be President...
A planned error.
And given the tiny brained folks he's courting, probably an effective one.
he is a Himbo just not that well thought out
It's called "McCarthyism"...it's no accident by the GOP, Limbaugh, the whole brownshirt gang.
The American people are not idiots. They know bullshit when they hear it.
Has anyone asked MITT what he thinks and how he would handle THIS...

At least Mitt hasn't forgotten all about Osama, like Bush has.
I don't believe for a second it was an accident.
Hmmm, one of KKKarl's dirty tricks.
You mean a mistake that he repeatedly makes? That's the third time that I can think of that Romney has transposed the names.
Good point, Rusty Shackleford.
Did he quickly correct himself of did he let the mistake stand?
Someone is selling "B Hussein Obama: Muslim for President" stickers. I've seen two so far here in KS.
Psh. Surprised it took this long. The first time I heard Barack's name, it took less than two seconds to imagine the "Republican smear version"--Ablack Osama. Of course, since then, there's been all kinds of attempts to paint Barack as "one of them," including lying about his school.
Too bad we can't refer to him as Shitt Rummy on the teevee.
Mitt Mormony is an ass. It wasn't a mistake. No way. Remember Dick Armey saying "Barney Fag." This is what Republicans do. The puzzling thing is, why does any decent person vote for these monsters?
A Romney spokesman calls it all "just a mix-up." But a spokesman for Obama says apparently Romney can switch names "just as casually as he switches positions."
Those remarks by the Obama spokesman were inappropriate. He should apologize.
You know who I'm thinking of not voting for in the primary? A giant steaming pile or horse shit.
Whoops.
I mistakenly meant to say "Mitt Romney" but I actually types "A giant steaming pile of horse shit."
Sorry for the mix up.
Mittmo, a flip flopping, hypocritical, fraudulent Joseph-Smith loonie . ...oops I misspoke, I ment republican mitt romney.
Ooooh, this will hurt a little. Its back to Utah to get more money.
This "mistake" has been made enough that it should no longer be considered a mistake. I think it is an intentional reminder to their base that Barack is "different".
How are they gonna spin it when Mitt "corrected" himself after he began his comment with "Osama," then changed to Barak Obama, which he repeated? If that isn't a 'Rovian Slip,' then none has ever been uttered.
Bush and pals must be scared out of their wits of Obama to keep making that mistake. Obama will clean house if he becomes President compared to
everybodys friendHillary.Here's what Obama should say:
I'm sure it was an honest mistake on Mitt Rummy's part.
dennis @ 14:
"inappropriate"? Apparently speaking the truth is now considered "inappropriate" according to the unhinged reich-wingers.

That is NEVER a mistake on their part.
If Obama manages to win the Presidency, you can bet the wingnuts will spend the following 4 years calling him Osama in print and on the air.
Come on, it was South Carolina, the very seat of the Confederacy.
Mistake, my ass.
This shit plays well there.
another moment in feigned ignorance from the reichwing gop hate-mongers.
romney is another "compassionate christian" hypocrite. tell a lie then
pretend you misspoke.
Mitt, $hit, who care$
I'm voting for Stephen Colbert. Nothing could be better than a satirist for prez.
Dr. Matt @ 21:
I borrowed the term from Madame Speaker.
Either Mitt's trying to pull a Kevin Nealon subliminal number from SNL or he's proving himself a master of vocabulary like a certain retarded bubble boy in the White House.
Then again, being the candidate who can't keep his stance on topics consistent from one day to the next, it shouldn't be surprising at all that he can't keep a simple name straight - and twice in the same sentence!
"Oh wait, I can't support that today - I supported it yesterday. Attack? Hmmmmm, let me ask my lawyers and I'll get back to you."
I guess if Obama refers to Mitt Romney as "Shyt" Romney, the ReThugs will clutch their pearls as they keel over and faint from outrage.
Romney's faux-pas was done on purpose; don't be fooled.
Mitt (the SHIT) knew EXACTLY what he was doing... he is not an idiot, just a deceptive fuck.
cnn is getting ready to show cheney fell asleep AGAIN in some meeting. I don't know the details, it was just a "coming up" teaser.
lol
justabill @ 11:
Amazing to see the bullshit that candidates must endure. No wonder so many talented, qualified people say "no thanks" when asked to run. Why would anyone want to subject themselves and their family to this crap?
Ahhh, what a gaffe, Mitt Rommel. What, oh, Mitt Romney. I guess this is easy. I didn't mean to confuse you with Erwin Rommel, the general in the Third Reich.
dennis @ 27:
You would borrow terms from such a weak leader. No wonder you defend and boot lick herr dubyah....you are attracted to weakness.
Oromney Mitt Laden just rolls off the tongue. I can easily see that mistake repeated incessantly throughout the campaign.
Mind Games
justabill @ 31:
Anytime Cheney closes his eyes, it's a teaser. Makes me giddy with glee that he might finally be dead.
I’m voting for Stephen Colbert. Nothing could be better than a satirist for prez.
Hmmm, I thought we did have a satirist in the White House now...you can't tell me Bush's stupidity is real! No, it isn't possible! HAHAHA
Symes @ 23:
With 4-8 years of Obama, Rush will probably go back to his "Take that bone out of your nose and call me back" roots.
Maybe Obama should refer to Mitt as Mitt Hitler his next speech.
Oh my, oh how inappropriate... So wharz the outrage... what's the republican minority pinheads on that side of the ailes gonna do??? Are the dems preparing censure resolutions yet??? Will the minority speaker cowl his (Romneys) ass for his 'slander/libel/whatever....against the Ill. senator running for prez????
Yea yea I know, not in congressional chambers... Doesn't count, I'm nit picking and ....blah blah blah....................oh suuurreee....
But the point is made... Dems speak truth to power and.... forced to recant and hope to be 'insignificant again'... gotta be completely certain you denigrate yourself in the process otherwise little Mz prim and proper Pirino won't be satisfied..
But the R'szzz do what they are sooo good at doing...(and it ain't runnin the country)....aaaannddd... I'd ask what's wrong with this picture, but it's friggin obvious.... fuck this shit!!! JD
So let me get this straight, Dummy, I mean Romney first states correctly Osama... realizes what he said and purposely switches to Barack Obama, then tells us now he meant to say Osama.
Sounds like an easy case of defamation.
How can Mitt Romney win this case? Oh... Forgot... Justice no longer exists.
Will Obama let this slide? If he doesn't speak up means to me that he's not serious about becoming President.
[Tag, spelling edited. Please don't post in all bold-Sitemonitor]
Come on. Give the guy a break. All the candidates are working daily, the Osama tape is in the news, as is Obama. Besides, Mitt isn't a douchebag like Rush.
justabill @ 31:
Don't laugh, man. He's not falling asleep. He's psychically contacting Satan and Nixon.
I believe it was a mistake-a mistake by a white guy who has trouble telling all those brown people from one another and all those crazy names they have-due largely to his isolation from folks of colour by his societal choices, based on his upbringing in the highly racist Mormon Church.
Don't forget the Man Coulter trick of refering to Barack as "B. Hussein Obama"
Romney strikes me as being a little too dim-witted to understand the difference.
I hope no one messes up and calls Rudy, Julie.
Tim @ 43:
Yeah, ok, I'll send him fruitcake for xmas. thanks for the concern.
For his sake I hope Mitt doesn't have this much trouble remembering the names of all of his wives.
Come on. Give the guy a break. All the candidates are working daily, the Osama tape is in the news, as is Obama. Besides, Mitt isn’t a douchebag like Rush.
Excuse me??? Give him a break? I work daily, about 18 hours a day, six days a week - but not once have I ever referred to someone so-called "by mistake" as the most wanted terrorist in the world - let alone someone belonging to the opposite political party.
Quit making excuses for this walking Ken Doll! Next thing you know, you'll defend Rudy's wild eyed "Bomb Iran!!!" rants on Larry King as nothing more than insomnia, right?
If you believe Mitt Romney made a mistake then you believe Dick Armey really didn't mean to call Barney Frank..."Barney Fag"
Rusty Shackleford @ 50:
As the joke goes, with all the Republican candidates who'd think that the Mormon would be the one with only one wife...
For his sake I hope Mitt doesn’t have this much trouble remembering the names of all of his wives.
As the joke goes, with all the Republican candidates who’d think that the Mormon would be the one with only one wife…
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
So does Rudy fall into the Mormon category when he can't remember the names of his three wives??? Oh wait, that's a whole other example of Republican family values all together - my bad!
It's an easy mistake that a piece of sh!t, I mean...candidate like Romney could accidentally make. That's nothing compared to when he'll accidentally fire those nuclear missiles....
Speaking of that Osama guy....
..the one that "helped plan the terror attacks on the U.S..."
I wonder if anyone has asked MITT how he would handle the sharing of information with the "Homeland Security Committee" if he was president... or how the government would operate if there was another terrorist attack
Unlike the current white house plan..

Excellent! Perhaps he'll get the word . . . .

Another well placed faux pas by Shit Onmey
miss_kitty @ 45:
Terrible when those white guys screw up Obama's name and act like it was unintentional.
Where's the MSM on this?
Publicus @ 55:
True.
Is Ken Romney anatomically correct? I want to know and I want proof. I don't want a Commander in Chief who can't have a firm hand on the tiller . . . .

Well given the whole McClurkin thing Obama sure made an overture to those like Osama.
I have been saying for years that politicians should have their IQs tattooed on their foreheads. Do you think anyone would take Romney seriously when they saw that 68 on his forehead?
Liberal AND Proud @ 60:
LMAO!
mitt ain't that stupid. he did it on queue.
Those Repubs are such low lifes.
It was 100% intentional!!!
I hate to point this out but he may have made an honnest mistake.
I remember hearing that Ed Kennedy made the same mistake.
Hail To The Chimp @ 66:
Ted Kennedy is no Republican.
And CNN may not be as left as they used to be, but Republican? C'mon.
Yeah, "mistakenly". Right.
My new bumper sticker:
"It would be torture to vote Republican"
-Gus
Oh, yes. An error. That's it. What a f--kin' mormon (oops, I meant moron).
And for those of you thinking it may be a mistake, he doesn't deserve to be president. What if he mixed up Russia and China and dropped bombs on the wrong country? Oopsie, sorry.

CD @ 69:
Now that IS funny. But, the morons won't know who you mean unless you say Teddy Kennedy.
Mitt later tried to smooth over his faux paux by urging Mahmoud Bush and George W. Ahmadinejad to get together and negotiate over Afghanistan's plans to invade D.C., warning that 'The Mormon Church is against WW IV'.
Aww, come on. Shit Romney... oops! I meant MITT romney. I would NEVER call him Shit Romney: you have to believe that. It was an accident: a mistake. I know his name isn't SHIT. It's Mitt. Stop accusing me of doing this on purpose. Shit and I... oh, darn. There I go again. MITT is his name, and I know it.

WinSmith @ 15:
Not sure I understand the problem. You said the man's name both times. There's a difference between these synonyms, and an obvious error with the Obama snafu.
Mitt Romney= Flip-Flop
In regards to your "slip" of the tongue when you "accidently" called Osama Bin Laden Barack Obama, which I highly doubt was an "accident", I believe that you OWE the Senator a public apology.
Oh, wait a minute, your a Republican, so you don't have to apologize.
Ed Pence,
A Democrate and Proud Obama supporter.
The above is the e-mail that I fired off to Flippers campaign web site.
It's hilarious, but to suggest he was literally comparing the two of them is just silly.
Oh' what's the big deal?!! Those other people (Brown, Black, Tan, Swarthy) with their funny sounding names should expect problems.
If they would just name their children (or change their names) to good ol' American names like, Bob, Tom, Mitt, Tag, etc., there wouldn't be this confusion.
Mistake my fat ass!
dennis @ 14:
You're absolutely right, Dennis. There is no place for truth in a presidential election.
pissed off patricia @ 48:
I'd call him Trudy Juliannie, just to get his reaction. ;-)
What a dick!
mrogi @ 52:
He mistakenly said publicly, what I'm sure he jokingly said privately. I'm a democrat, not a fan of Romney...but some of your posts would make the Freepers blush.
The bastard knew exactly what he was saying, but it makes no difference anyhow because Senator Obama has left his ignorant ass in the dust, no matter the outcome and I think that is what his problem is in the first place.
Romney; another Republican, another asshole. But I repeat myself.
Trittydi @ 62:
Oh, I can confirm for you that he's a complete jackoff. His firm hand clenches his tiller with white knuckled ferocity.
Americans don't need another religious weirdo like Romney in their government, in my opinion. Americans have had enough with religious weirdos elected to office since 2000.
Evangelists are weirdos and they got their man into office in 2000. The Evangelists got their prayers for Armageddon and the End Days.
But those events will never occur because Evangelists are irrational splinters from the Christian religion. God what harm and innocent lives lost have happened since American Evangelists got their puppet into office. Thank God Geo W Bush will finally exit office in 2008 and leave it to a more responsible person who will look out for US citizens best interests and not for giant business. Giant business includes the Christian right wing evangelist movement.
If Mitt becomes president, does this mean he will be bombing Illinois?
justabill @ 11:
That's unfortunate on two levels:
1. That some people are scared of a Muslim president
2. That some people still fall for the hate mongering trick
When in doubt, just go with "macaca."
GOD HELP HIM
Another Brightly challenged Republican that has mental recall problems. If he is uncapable of remembering Obama's name or not able to distinguish Osama from Obama. He may not be suitable for the Presidency.
What do you think............?
raker @ 13:
Hi Raker, Just so, except, 'Moroni' as in found this tablet under a tree, so why don't U vote for me. See Alice, it's a looking glass.
What do you expect?
How can any of us expect a rich, white guy born and raised on entitlement to know the difference between a black American and a terrorist from the ME.
All of us, non-rich, non-white, non-silver spoon totin' residents of terra look the same to him which is EXACTLY why he won't get my vote.
From now on, I'm calling him Bitch Onme. Not that I condone gangster grammar, but I don't condone bin Laden either.
my Dad doesn't like to swear but he calls guys like Romney one thing, ends in rick and starts with P.

"I hope no one messes up and calls Rudy, Julie"
I thought his REAL name was Looney Judianni. Perhaps I heard incorrectly but it sure fits.
Mitten, on the other hand, needs to send his 5 big strapping boys over to Iraq and clear them infidels out of the Mideast. It's something they have been trying to do since the start of the crusades by the pope. Osama his mama, get real you fairytale freak.
