You Stupid Religious Smalltown Redneck Xenophobic Gun-toting Democrats, Vote For Me, The Prophet Obama



Wow, I've been following the aftermath of the story via Mayhill Fowler in Huffington Post about Obama's sneering speech in San Francisco about rural folk in Pennsylvania:
When I began following the Obama Campaign through Pennsylvania, the place was new to me -- as apparently it was to Senator Obama, since his Road to Change bus tour was heralded as the candidate's introduction to the Keystone State. Now the Senator has moved on to Indiana for a spell, but I'm back in PA, thinking about Obama's and my experiences of the people here.

Pennsylvanians are as friendly as Iowans-- and that's a huge compliment...

...Pennsylvania unfolds in an interlocking chain of Turkeyfoots and Allentowns, held separately and together by a sense of shared community, of humor, of history, and of abiding faith.

These qualities of hospitality, patriotism and endurance are exactly what Californians need to hear about Pennsylvanians. And when he spoke to a group of his wealthier Golden State backers at a San Francisco fund-raiser last Sunday, Barack Obama took a shot at explaining the yawning cultural gap that separates a Turkeyfoot from a Marin County. "You go into some of these small towns in Pennsylvania, and like a lot of small towns in the Midwest, the jobs have been gone now for 25 years and nothing's replaced them," Obama said. "And they fell through the Clinton Administration, and the Bush Administration, and each successive administration has said that somehow these communities are gonna regenerate and they have not. And it's not surprising then they get bitter, they cling to guns or religion or antipathy to people who aren't like them or anti-immigrant sentiment or anti-trade sentiment as a way to explain their frustrations."
The Politico blew the story wide, and the focus has mainly been on Obama's frankly offensive slur against certain Pennsylvianians.

But read this part again:
You go into some of these small towns in Pennsylvania, and like a lot of small towns in the Midwest...

The slur isn't just against Pennsylvanians, it's also against Midwesterners.

And Obama isn't targeting Republicans. He's targeting Democrats who go to church, legally possess guns, don't want illegals working down the road for slave wages and in poor conditions, or who get upset that their manufacturing plant has closed up and moved to Mexico or China.

The wheels really have come off the Obama campaign.

First his racist, America-hating preacher for the past 20 years got exposed, his angry wife started running her mouth, and now this total condescending attitude towards anybody who is religious, lives in a small town, doesn't like illegals cutting in line, who believe the 2nd amendment means you have a right to defend yourself, and who might take issue with trade policies that reward companies who close up shop here in favor of Mexico or China.

Gee, that Tony Rezko connection was just the tip of the dirty iceberg!

All these major party candidates just disgust me. Naturally, all of them have "daddy" issues. Obama and his drunk and abandoning Muslim father, Hitlery and her vicious old man, and McVain who could never live up to his Admiral father's stature.

The only one who doesn't have daddy issues is Ralph Nader.

It's gonna be a long spring and summer, isn't it? The Democrats are gonna go all the way to the convention, if either of them survive. Should be fun to watch. At this point I'm betting that next January you'll see President McVain living in the White House, not that I'd ever be thrilled with it.

  1. How do you take this as a slur? Because it's a black guy saying it? If I were to use one word to describe this blog, it would probably be bitter. But that's not a slur. It's the truth. There's nothing wrong with being bitter.

  2. I think you're stretching his words a little bit.

    He's just saying that people are bitter about their lives, and are looking for ways to lash out about it. Would people REALLY care nearly as much about illegal immigration if they all had 100k a year jobs?

    Sure it might be AN issue, but it likely wouldn't raise the sort of ire it currently does.

  3. Oh, State.

    (sigh)

    Not you too. You're not seriously biting on this piece of sensationalist bullshit that comes courtesy of your bestest friend in the whole world; the media.

    Please. It was NOTHING.

    Let's move on.

    Think for yourself. You're better than this.

  5. Bush has destroyed America in 7 years. It is only a smokescreen to be distracted by a comment made by a candidate.
