When 9-year-old Annabelle told the hosts of MSNBC‘s “Morning Joe“ she wanted GOP presidential candidate Mitt Romney to win the election, the crowd on the show’s live set responded with boos.
“Ooohhh, there you go,” said host Joe Scarborough as the Boca Raton, FL, crowd behind him hollered. “I’m with you, Annabelle. Thank you so, so much. You’re a wise girl,” Scarborough said encouragingly. He then turned his mic to co-host Willie Geist, who defended the girl. “Booing a 9-year-old girl?” he asked. “Clean it up.” Scarborough then yelled something indecipherable to the audience.
“Booing a 9-year-old girl?” added TIME magazine’s Joe Klein, before joking, “A lot of these people must have come down from Philly or something.”
At least this little girl had the benefit of being surrounded by adults who rushed to her defense. Sadly, when a 12 year-old Wisconsin boy defended his family’s Romney-Ryan yard signs, it was his adult bus driver who harassed him and suggested his mother should have aborted him.
These incidents prove just how insensitive, intolerant, and uncaring liberals can be — even to children.

About Kelsey Osterman
Typical of Obama and his base. Tear others down, make fun of them all because they don’t have a story to tell.
The so called “part of tolerance” I have found to be the most frequently intolerant.
The Romney / Ryan ticket would drive the entire economy into a nose dive as long as it benefits the richest Americans. Income inequality is endangering the Middle Class and making paupers of us all who don’t have those millions upon millions of dollars. Read more about the role of Romney’s riches in this election and the power of his sacred undergarments at http://dregstudiosart.blogspot.com/2012/05/mitt-romneys-magic-mormon-underwear.html The working class of our country can’t AFFORD to allow this election to be bought and sold!
Lots of TPM mash going on in this comment “Brandt”. It just sucks to be a person that feels cheated and not “given” a “fair chance”, huh?
I’m praying along with tens of millions of others to remove obummer from office and gt this country back to being respected.
The American ideal is to “work” your way out of a situation, and not fall in with the “crowd” to impose your feelings of inadequacy onto those that have become successful.
Oh cry me a river, Brandt! Go ahead and cast your lot in with the corruptacrats. I’m struggling financially myself… but I know the answer isn’t Obama! Companies are closing and canceling employees’ health insurance plans left and right — it’s happening! They just dropped my husband’s because the smaller employer he works for can’t afford it. I don’t WANT the government handling my healthcare – thank you very much! They can’t run anything right… but let’s now turn over our healthcare to them? No thanks! Get the HELL out of our businesses and our lives and let us make our own decisions! We will fare much better without the government, who can’t even run itself properly, trying to run us! ‘Nuff said!
