From Obama the Socialist Messiah:
You go into 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. 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.
Emphasis mine. Rachel Lucas had this to say:
Jesus in a meadow. What classic bullshit.
No kidding. So we’re just a bunch of xenophobic, paranoid Jesus freaks digging a bunker in the back yard because we think the dirty Mexicans stole our jobs, and sharpening our shooting skills in anticipation of invasion of job stealing hordes who will be coming any day now.
Are we really going to elect this elitist piece of shit president? I won’t vote for anyone who thinks of me and my fellow Pennsylvanians so poorly.
Dey took are jobs!
It is an insullt to religous people and gun owners and basically anyone who does not agree he should be an liberal idiot.
I guess it could be said that by extension, Bob Casey believes the same things?
Right you are BadIdeaGuy!
Note to Obama: you cannot win the Presidency without middle America. Comments like these are pissing a lot of people off. You’ve been warned.
Tone deaf that is what Obama is. He was speaking to the enlighten left liberals with this drivel that economic hard times drives people to guns, religion and bigotry toward illegal immigrants. To them this explains why people like such horrible items like guns, and religion. To liberal these are all negative items; to more conservative or normal people these are part of our culture.
It is like that without the hard times these people would see that religion is silly and guns are evil. This is typical liberal arrogance that we have seen time and time again. Together with the Hate America mantra of Obama’s pastor and wife. Obama’s refusal to put his hand on his heart during the Star Spangle Banner or wear a flag. The pro Palestinian slant and how we are evil for getting rid of the worlds horrible dictator.
I have to say that it is obvious to many of us that the Liberal left and their Democratic allies are sympathizing with the enemy. They want us to fail just to show Bush has failed. They are willing and hoping for Americans and Iraqi’s to die just to justify their position. Americans can disagree on tactics but the Liberal left are truly looking more and more like traitors.
The disgust and dripping sense of superiority, pure condescension of Obama is getting more obvious every day. This is the man the Democratic Party wants. I can just say despite the errors and failures of the Republicans, this attitude will stampede Democrats to voting for McCain. Hillary would never have been so tone deaf to insult the voters this way.
Well, hell, I, personally, have absolutely no problems with him saying things like this, and continuing to do so.
From his previous comments and actions, it is patently obvious he believes this crap, and the more he spouts it, the more people will realize it. And that can only be a good thing.
