John McCain at NAACP Convention (Bill O'Reilly Lied About the Audience Response)

    The negative response that Willard Romney got to some aspects of his statements at the NAACP convention is well known. The impression left is that the members of the NAACP would be hostile to any white Republican who came to talk to the organization. In fact, Fox News' Bill O'Reilly had Hilary Shelton the NAACP communications director on his program yesterday. O'Reilly stated that he had been present when John McCain spoke at the 2008 convention and personally heard booing.

    Here is the video tape of McCain speaking at the 2008 convention. Notice that there was polite applause. There were no boos. Bill O'Reilly either has a poor memory or is a liar. McCain even took questions from the audience.

    The response to Romney was either due to a sense by some in the audience that Romney is not trust-worthy, or the booing was staged by people Willard Romney brought to the convention.
