stuhayes2010: Seriously, how'd this moron make do much money?

He stole it from the blue collar workers that he laid off...to add insult to injury he then stole their pensions and got them to train foreigners to take over those jobs! Mommy, why does Mittens hate America‽

Mem Flush, Disc Swap, Context Switch and Instruction Restart , all in the same time-slot.
Consumes a lot of resources.

This will work for him, makes him look folksy and real in contrast with the Kenyan socialist and all his liberal book-learnin'!!

I lol'd hard.

Lenny_da_Hog: Oh, come on.

There's enough real bullshiat about Romney without having to include this one. "End of quote" is a commonly used way to signify the end of a quotation, which is what he was doing. I've used it myself in presentations.

You fascist pig

Stop that. Now I'm conflicted.

Just once I'd like to see a media outlet, ANY MEDIA OUTLET, do a piece assaulting a politician completely and thoroughly for their dipshiat ideas they spew for fifty minutes instead of focusing on a five second gaffe that is completely and utterly inconsequential to anything relating to governing or policy.

Oh, wait. I forgot. Doing that might go against the nature of the political-industrial complex in its neverending quest to raise more money than the other guy.

This? From the dumbest ass on Fark? I'll take it!

Lemon. Wet. Good. End of quote.

Criticizing Mr. Romney's use of a teleprompter or slip of the lip is ridiculous. Let's leave that nonsense to the Republicans. We're better than that.

teeny: My mistake, he was quoting Dr. King (who was quoting Chesterton). But he said it to separate King's words from his own. WTF is wrong with you people?

What's wrong with you is the question. Your linguistics degree is starting to make you think robot language is normal.

The robot's USE of language was correct. I never said it blended well with human conversation. Romney has a ways to go before he graduates from level Watson to level C3PO.

I thought it was not a big deal at all. I've heard people say "end of quote" plenty of times. The only thing he really did wrong was not say "quote" before the quote. Maybe I'm missing something

Really dumb thing to complain about. Equally dumb as Obama's teleprompter jokes.... Ok, those were still more dumb than this. Who really gives a shiat how much Obama uses a teleprompter? I hate that people even discuss this crap

LOL

That was priceless!!! I especially found his pong-stare hilarious. You can almost see him reminding himself to turn his head so it looks like he's scanning the crowd and connecting with audience members.

The Why Not Guy: Criticizing Mr. Romney's use of a teleprompter or slip of the lip is ridiculous. Let's leave that nonsense to the Republicans. We're better than that.

Pretty much this.

I'm more critical of the quote itself and the implication that Romney does not see the worth in the general citizenry getting good value in terms of the social contract for their hard earned tax dollars.

He obviously saw the value in a universal healthcare when he introduced Romneycare in Mass but back then he was Republican Governor in a state loaded with Dems and he had to compromise. Nowadays as the nominee for 2012 he's still trying to take credit for Romneycare while simultaneously bashing the ACA and making insincere noises about "repealing and replacing" it because he answers to a party gone mad.

The canard is that Dems want to grow government and Reps want to shrink it.

The truth is Dems want to see value for their buck and Reps have lowered expectations of government and fostered an "I got mine FU" attitude to such a degree that they no longer see the value of a solid social contract.

But I digress.

/Soz.

I was gonna go with "cylon-esque" but yours is better.

Romney quote about his NAACP speech

"Remind them of this: If they want more stuff from government, tell them to go vote for the other guy, more free stuff. But don't forget, nothing is really free."

End of quote

Begin quotes

They are just "anti-war government nig---" Rick Santorum "who just want more free stuff." Mitt Romney.

End of quotes

These are their presidential candidates? Why any person would vote Republican is beyond me.

After watching the video, I have to agree that this isn't Romney screwing up. He's just marking the end of a rather lengthy quote.

I was really hoping this would put the tired Teleprompter-in-Chief crap to bed, too. Now we have nothing to make fun of Romney about. Damn it.

ApatheticMonkey: end of line

Something tells me that Barack Obama will do just fine on the game grid.

Yah but "cylon-esque" continues in the Romneybot vein. Hey, let's ask Michael...

IMDWalrus: teeny: Am I missing something? It sounded like he was quoting G K Chesterton and simple closed the quote at the end...like many people do during a speech.

TalenLee: Yeah, it's archaic and it's weird, but it's not wrong.

I think we've found the Republican response to this one.

Personally, I've never heard anyone do this in my twentysomething years on this planet.

Neither have I. Also I have taken public speaking courses in high school and college, we were never instructed to do this or taught us it was common practice.

Also to quote Mitt Romney, "What is sauce for the goose is sauce for the gander." It is just another example of Republicans being able to dish it out but get all butt hurt when their own style of attack is turned on them. Especially when unlike when used against President Obama, with Mitt Romney the criticisms actually hold water.

If they can't take it they shouldn't have nominated a candidate that exudes the exact flaws they are trying to project on President Obama.

Hey, we're all losing focus on how much worse this could have been. Sure, Romney is awkward as hell and probably screwed this up, but at least he didn't reference "Who let the dogs out?"

To me, this is hardly worth mentioning. Let me know when he starts saying, "End of line," though. Then I'll start to worry.

geek_mars: To me, this is hardly worth mentioning. Let me know when he starts saying, "End of line," though. Then I'll start to worry.

I've endured four years of morons, idiots and "conservatives" posting non-stop "jokes" about Obama and the farking teleprompter. You bet your ass I'm making this public on Facebook. Sure, it makes me just as bad I suppose, but unlike the morons and idiots, I actually have a video of Romney farking up.

That being said (imaged?), chill the hell out, it's just a funny little quirk that makes for good ribbing. Nobody is saying he's unfit to lead the country because he read "end of quote" off a teleprompter. We already have about a trillion prior legitimate examples of why he has no business being near the presidency, we don't need to try and trump this one up you friggin' crybaby.

Weaver95: Don't Troll Me Bro!: holy farking bookmarked exclamation point goddamn comma that is funny as hell period

sarcastic tone: Romney would make a great elcor.

Mirthful. That is indeed a funny observation.

stuhayes2010: Seriously, how'd this moron make do much money?

It helps to have a father who is influential and well connected like Mitt did.

No one would have cared if it hadn't been for all that OBAMA CANT TALK WITHOUT A TELEPROMPTER LOL derp we have put up with for the last 4 years. Republicans brought this on themselves when they raised a furor about nothing.

So the real question is: wtf is wrong with republicans? They're the ones who think teleprompters are an OUTRAGE after all.

How come the Republicans aren't criticizing Romney for using a teleprompter when they criticized Obama for using one?

And how come they haven't asked to see two different copies of his birth certificate?

farkityfarker: How come the Republicans aren't criticizing Romney for using a teleprompter when they criticized Obama for using one?

Are you suggesting Republicans arent consistent?

How dare you!

Apparently Obama relies on his teleprompter so much he can actually use it! That proves Mitt Romney's a better leader period.

Roll eyes jerking motion

Forward slash am I doing it right question mark

ApatheticMonkey: I'm willing to give him the benefit of the doubt and say that he just used bad phrasing there. Now, if he had said "end of line", I would be worried.

If he had said "end of line", it would have indicated that it was time to get Seamus off the roof of the car.

Did Martin Luther King Jr. use "end of quote" when quoting Chesterton to begin with?

The "end of quote" thing is less offensive to me than using a nested quote to begin with. Unless it's a parable using the quote that clearly has the second speaker's take on the subject in a way that doesn't just quote the first speaker, it's a structural mess.

Of course, that's not counting the patronizing of using a nested quote just to quote a black guy when you're referencing the message of a plutocratic white guy...

Lando Lincoln: The Why Not Guy: Lemon. Wet. Good. End of quote.

Criticizing Mr. Romney's use of a teleprompter or slip of the lip is ridiculous. Let's leave that nonsense to the Republicans. We're better than that.

OH NO WE'RE NOT.

I've learned that the only way to get them to stop being so goddamn stupid about things is to slap them in the face with a real-world example of how goddamn stupid they're acting.

Perhaps the remarks about Obama using a teleprompter will diminish after this.

Well, they won't, but we can still have fun.

No need to ignore the cheap jokes when they're actually funny. In this case, it's something that happened and not some bizarre meme that... ignores the fact that Obama's teleprompter use is no different than any major politician or candidate of the last 30 years.

Funny, hadn't heard a peep about this epic gaffe until I saw this link on Fark.

Damn liberal media.
