Did the Crowd Boo Mexico During Last Night’s Debate?

There was an awkward moment during last night’s Republican presidential debate that has political observers, pundits and journalists buzzing this morning. When moderator Juan Williams prefaced a question for Mitt Romney with the fact that the presidential contender’s father was born in Mexico, a portion of the audience began to boo.
“Governor Romney, your father was born in Mexico. You still have family there — yet you have taken the hardest line of anyone on this stage on immigration reform,” Williams said.
The booing seemed to intensify when Williams uttered the line “you still have family there.”
This moment, which is causing many to charge that the Republican Party is anti-Mexico, may not help the GOP gain support among Hispanics come November. But did the crowd really boo Mexico?
Watch Williams’ question and the resulting boos, below:
It didn’t take long for these boos to evolve into enthusiastic praise, as the crowd applauded Romney‘s response to Williams’ question about his stance on immigration.
“I think Latino voters like all voters in this country are interested in America being an opportunity nation,” Romnney said. “I absolutely believe that those who come here illegally should not be given favoritism or a special route to becoming permanent residents or citizens that’s not given to those people who have stayed in line legally. I just think we have to follow the law.”
Salon’s editor-at-large Joan Walsh summed up the interaction between Williams and Romney, writing, “…he asked Romney how he squared his harsh anti-immigrant rhetoric with his own family’s story of moving to and then from Mexico seeking religious freedom.” While Walsh dubbed Romney’s statements as “anti-immigrant,” the presidential candidate was clear that he favors legal immigration.
Former Bill Clinton adviser Paul Begala wrote:
The crowd booed the mere mention of the name of the country of Mexico. Just the name. I might understand it if they booed, say, North Korea or Iran or Texas A&M—centers of evil. But Mexico? Good luck with that Latino vote in November, guys.
Then, when Ron Paul said the Golden Rule should guide our foreign policy, the crowd booed. They booed the Golden Rule. Apparently nobody told them that Jesus wrote the Golden Rule. On second thought, they’d have booed Jesus.
While live-blogging the debate, Andrew Sullivan quipped, “Jeers and boos for someone who has Mexican ancestry. Wow. The rank xenophobia in the GOP base sometimes surprises. And Romney of course aims to please: he’ll veto the DREAM Act.”
Judging from the above clip there are a few possible causes for the booing. The audience members could, in fact, be showing their dissatisfaction with the fact that Romney’s father was born in Mexico. They could also be voicing their displeasure with a country in general that hasn’t seemed to curb the tide of illegal immigration into the United States, and even the rampant drug lords that seem to run the border cities. Or, they could be showing their dislike for the question Williams is asking.
A similar incident unfolded at a separate debate back in September, when a few audience members booed a U.S. soldier’s question about “Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell.” Similarly, people debated over whether the individuals were booing the fact that the soldier was gay or if they simply had an issue with the question he was asking.
What do you think? Were select audience members in this most recent debate booing Mexico? Take our poll, below:

Posted on January 17, 2012 at 10:43amI am sorry, I did not hear any boo’s from the audience. I hear a couple people that sounded like they were in the north 40 who “yelled”. It was hard to tell if it was a good sound or bad sound.
I don’t care if Romney has relatives in Mexico, I mean I have relatives in Salt Lake who are Mormon, I am a Christian.

Posted on January 17, 2012 at 5:22pmIt was probably OWS plants. These people are shameless. Now for something completely different…who cares? The whole idea of the GOP garnering anything but a slim portion of Hispanics is laughable. I say again. The GOP needs to forget pandering to the black, Hispanic and middle eastern demographic. IT IS A WASTE OF MONEY. THEY ARE NOT GOING TO VOTE FOR YOU…EVER. They need to pay attention to the 70% that work and pay taxes and are supporting the aforementioned demographic groups to a great extent.

Posted on January 17, 2012 at 8:05pmJuan is just trying to ingratiate himself with his Progressive masters after they fired him from NPR for not toeing the line. They threw him under the bus for daring to speak the unspeakable just as they did with Joe Lieberman. I actually pity the man. He is probably shunned at company picnics and family gatherings and called an oreo. And worse. The Republicans should hold their debates without the Propaganda Arm of the Global Marxism/Islamic Alliance in attendance. Really, who needs them? I don’t watch them. It’s all done purposely to try and wear us down. But it won’t work. The Democrats and Progs, the Union thugs and bosses, the racists and Jihadis know this is their last chance to destroy Western Civilization. Man, will they ever rachet up the hate. Look at the stories. Newt is racist because of how he pronounces Juan. Romney is racist for an act of charity. These are the tactics of desperate people watching their malevolent and malicious plans slipping into oblivion. They are losing and they know it. More violence from the Progs will come; more darkness before the dawn. But the dawn is inevitable. There is only one way to stop us now. They tried sporadic and limited violence the last 2 years beating up the black man in St. Louis and biting off that man’s finger in California & Fort Hood & Arkansas to name just a few. Beheadings in Oklahoma and Texas. The battle is here and now. I regret the lack of brevity.

NeoCons belive in righteous “mans” war, which is why at Armageddon they shall be suddenly very, very, hot, and permanently gone.
I believe that trying to “educate with facts” the NeoCon is as futile as doing so with their half brothers the liberal/socialist/progressives, neither has any interest in doing anything but shoving their lucifarian doctrines down other peoples throats as their boots slam down on the necks of those who DARE to desire “stand up freedom”.

As an example (as a politician), I might refer to scripture and say that it exhorts us to:

The moderator’s job is supposed to be the posing of issues, not an inquisition, in spite of Juan Williams shameless dealing from the race card deck.

Posted on January 18, 2012 at 1:03pmAs an Arizonan, facing a law suit in which Mexico has filed an Amicus Curiae brief I would have booed Mexico. This has nothing to do with Constitutional law (foreign countries can’t sue individual US states, although an Amicus brief is not a suit), nor does it have anything to do with racism (my son-in-law is of black descent along with my beautiful grandsons or my daughter-in-law who is of Filipino descent along with my beautiful granddaughter or my Uncle and Cousins that are of Hispanic descent).
This is plain and simple, Mexico is as corrupt a country as it comes (almost as bad as ours) and it has no business messing around in the internal immigration laws of the US when they are already the largest group of legal émigré’s to our country by a two to one margin of the next group.
So in a nutshell, yeah it is ok to boo Mexico and if you don’t like it, suck it up cupcake. It’s not racism; it’s the character of a corrupt, violent and extremely racist country to our South. Think Mexico’s not really racist; look up the minor revolution that’s been fought for some time on the Yucatan peninsula by Native Mexicans trying to end the misbehavior against them for many, many years.

Posted on January 17, 2012 at 10:05amThere is an invasion on our southern border and every politician turns a blind eye to it so as to gain the latino votes. Illegal is illegal plain and simple. Don’t blame the law for being wrong, blame the criminals breaking our laws.

Posted on January 17, 2012 at 10:03amOnce again Williams has shown his liberal side by asking questions in a way that are “gotta” in nature. Who cares that Romney’s father was from Mexico. Williams may have been fired by NPR for being to conservative but he is still a liberal when it comes to the Republicans.

Posted on January 17, 2012 at 10:33amWilliams was not fired for bring a conservative. He was fired for making “racists remarks”, regarding muslims penchant for wearing traditional muslim garb on a domestic flight in the united states. His handsome contract with FOX gives him the title of house race baiter.

Posted on January 17, 2012 at 10:00amI’d boo mexico, why not they encourage their people to illegally immigrate here, to receive welfare benefits, and work in our country to send money to mexico. Mexico is not our friend, they prefer their people to leave rather than clean up their country.

Well, I believe we have an incident of pot loudly calling kettle black here. Your President has seen fit to blame 80% or more of his problems on Bush, instead of blaming himself, his incompetent staff, or the true genesis of his problems (Carter). Might behoove Demos to actually do some internal analysis and figure out where the problem started, not who to blame at the moment for political expediency.
Until you get that mess sorted out, we will continue to blame Obama AS IS PROPER, since political myopia works both ways. If it is valid for you, it works for us just the same.

Report Post »Well, you could give us something utterly false to blame his utter failure to lead all Americans upon, like blame BUSH? So?
What does personally accountability mean to a socialist utopian like Obamney ( nice seguay BetterDays ! ) ? It means “ the other guy is personally responsible ”. It doesn’t matter at all what one “inheirits” either good nor bad, it’s what YOU DO THAT MATTERS. And in this OBAMA has willfully pleased the most UNAMERICAN portion of AMERICA, the far LEFT socialist UTOPIANS, and been a cataclysmic failure for the other 79% of Americans. Actually he’s PURPOSEFULLY FAILED specific demographics in the democratic arena with the INTENT TO MANIPULATE THEM INTO ACTIONS THAT FURTHER HIS SOCIALIST UTOPIAN AGENDA. Top down, bottom up, inside out.
Funny, but my comment is now a stunning hit at the NSA, they are sure to shake there heads in full agreement with me as they add my name to the NADA list. Sadly the people we depend upon to have honor and courage, against our enemies foreign and domestic have turned out to be working for someone besides us. They know that America as a republic is toast, and they won’t do anything about it. History points to a collective mound where such as these repose, done in by the elite who bought there treason and silence, one used worthless and disposed of. Ask 75 million graves in Russia and China how Utopia worked for them?
