"The one thing that I want to insist on is that, as I travel around the country, the American people are a decent people. Now they get confused sometimes. You know, they listen to the wrong talk radio shows or watch the wrong TV networks, um, but they’re, they’re basically decent, they’re basically sound." - Barack Obama, speaking at a Planned Parenthood rally

[DesScorp]

Another stunning Freudian slip by The One. First we clung to our God and our Guns. Now we're basically decent, except when we listen to the "wrong" radio stations, and watch the "wrong" TV networks... which I'm sure his messiahship would like to fix with the Unfairness Doctrine.

[Question Liberal Authority]

Which network? ABC? CBS? NBC?

[TheWasteLand]

This guy is such a pompous narcissist, I’m surprised he can look away from the mirror. What other candidate could get away with this garbage? What other candidate would even say it?

[uptoolate]

basically decent, except when we listen to the "wrong" radio stations, and watch the "wrong" TV networks

Wow. He is soooooo articulate..............and clean.

[informavoracious]

Further proof that his method for achieving unity would be to silence views that dissent from his own - his are the “correct” views, others’ views are “wrong.” What happened to freedom of speech? Or freedom of thought? This man is truly frightening. But I support his right to make idiotic comments that insult average Americans and ensure they will never vote for him to be President.

[21twelve]

All of this while speaking at a Planned Parenthood rally!

[cherry]

what an arrogant POS....’scuse my language....

[Hillarys Gate Cult]

Even though I think Kerry was and is a flaming tool, at least he had some political savvy. Obama has none and can't even buy it.

[maine-iac7]

What a smug, pompous as* - dare I say, elitist?

WE don't eat a hellava lot of arugula either.

[rightinthemiddle]

Clinton. Gore. Kerry. Obama.

Who has the largest ego?

[Godwin1]

Here he is, speaking to the organization that runs the nation's largest chain of for-profit abortion mills, and he has the NERVE to raise the subject of other people's decency. Speaking of decency, he finds the question of when human life begins “above his pay grade”. Faced with this uncertainty, he endorses the ethic of “kill at will”, through all nine months of gestation. And, under a Obama government, the killings can be done with federal tax money. Planned Parenthood is the very essence of a “special interest”, trading financial and political support now for the promise of tax dollars later. This guy makes me sick.

[word_warrior_bob]

This is a perfect example of why I’m so unimpressed with the Zombie Party. All they can do is parrot the same, tired, crap constantly and AREN’T “nuanced” at all. Who can parrot the Marxist line and has the best smile? Who’s got the best gimmick? Øbama, perfect! he’s clean, articulate, has a nice smile, nice speaking voice..... He’s a freaking parrot and I could crush him in a debate and make him look like an idiot, as could most anyone here. Candidates have to play footsie, put him at a dinner table and have him try and defend his ridiculous positions on just about everything and he would be toast.

Look at the spoiled, out of touch clowns they have run the past 3 elections. This guy takes the cake, this is Twilight Zone material that this guy is one of the 2 major candidates for President. Who are they going to run in 2012? Kucinich?

[shibumi]

Dictator-in-Waiting ping.

(I’m going back to doing something that I’m sure would be banned under his administration ..... “the memory remains.”)

[Schnucki]

Has anybody pointed out that obama often comes off as something of a stand-up comic without the jokes?

[IL1949]

What a flaming, self-righteous, ass clown.

The magic negro is on course for a major crash & burn.

And it is soooo well deserved.

[Chaguito]

The rest of the clip after this elitist bit of crap is just as condescending, as the One paints Planned Parenthood as the enlightened ones that the “basically decent” plebes should aspire to.

"You know, they listen to the wrong talk radio shows or watch the wrong TV networks, um, but they’re, they’re basically decent, they’re basically sound." - Barack

anyone else pick up on the 'they' here?

anyone running for POTUS should realize that he is supposed to be part of the country...

the quote should have been:

"um, but we’re, we’re basically decent, we’re basically sound."

[ezoeni]

“basically decent, except when we listen to the “wrong” radio stations, and watch the “wrong” TV networks”

sorry I dont watch tv, dont want to be brain washed into the useful idiots - and i choose my own radio and internet news

[KoRn]

Now they get confused sometimes. You know, they listen to the wrong talk radio shows or watch the wrong TV networks"

So which radio shows and TV networks are the "right" radio shows TV networks Mr. Obama?

[presently no screen name]

Yes - HUSSEIN's telling them his 'dictorship' dreams between the lines.

Strange how he says Americans are decent - yet, he wants LESS of them. Kill them before they are born.

[Prole]

Barack Hussein Obama and his democrats are domestic enemies to the United States.

1.) They are fascists who threaten and intimidate radio and TV personnel for broadcasting the truth about Obama and his thugs. Camp Obama's recent threats toward WGN AM are a perfect example of this.

2.) Obama has ZERO right to secretly interfere with the relationship between the American and Iraqi governments. He committed treason when he was defiant to the US government in favor of pursuing his own self-interests abroad. Who does he think he is to discuss troop movements with a foreign government?

3.) Moveon.org, Katie Couric, Daily Kos, Charles Gibson, Wolf Blitzer, Bill Schneider, Chris Matthews, Keith Olberman and the rest of the democrats that compose Obama's media machine are attacking red-blooded Americans with smears, lies and other deceptions on a daily basis. It's disgusting, and I am sick of it. They all refuse to speak about domestic terrorist Bill Ayers, hostile racist Jeremiah Wright, convicted felon Tony Rezko and the rest of the nasty creatures that are in Obama's camp. However, they are quick to alter reality and fabricate stories about Governor Palin and Senator McCain that really have no substance.

[GOP Poet]

This is a conversation for Obama in the primaries. But saying stuff like this when you are trying to win over independents is very STUPID!!! He says he is for change and not for this mean spirited partisanship?! He is being a nasty judge of what people watch and listen to and calling it wrong. I hope word gets out there. This man is such a snob and horrendously partisan, so much so I do not think he even realizes.

lol, HTML tags don’t work in the title.

[spokeshave]

....and the local brown shirts from www.public allies.org will soon be knocking at your door to check if you are listening or watching one of the “wrong” stations.

[Titus Quinctius Cincinnatus]

Here’s hopin’ they vote for the “wrong” ticket come November.

[GOP Poet]

I correct myself. I did not know this conversation happened last year. I retract my last post and insist anyway that Obama is still stupid in that he is so darn condescending towards those not like himself. Nor does he have any understanding how to deal with independents unlike himself.

This is why he has never been able to close the deal. He is in essence a strict partisan. He will not be elected.

Øbama, you’re ready to get pounded......AGAIN!

Barak Hussein Obama really does believe he's God-like, and he truly is a racist. He travels around the country making moral judgement of Americans, (predominently caucasians), and the best he can afford us is "basically decent". Those whom he disagrees with he deems "confused" because "they listen to the wrong talk shows"; but through his divine mercy and grace are judged "basically decent". Not completely washed such as he is, but basically decent underneath their exterior filth. Obama can, however, save thim if they would only swith the dials on their radios and tv's to leftist liberal stations. Obama is a self righteous, narcissistic ASS.

[presently no screen name]

He would love it. Without the internet - what would we really know about him. The media - so far - has him covered with at least 100 blankets. Makes me think of - pig in a blanket.

[presently no screen name]

yeah - I wonder if someone asked him - what about those w/guns and bibles - are they decent to you? Lipsick? Is that decent? Do muslim woman wear lipstick?

You are correct - he’s judging relentlessly.

[Prole]

Without the internet, we would all be painted as racists by the Obamabots and their media machinists.

[clee1]

They are hereby advised to bring a SWAT team and heavy weapons with them.

[Citizen Soldier]

I actually had a call from a Planned Parenthood person tonight to tell me which candidates are to be voted for - I told her I was pro-life and hung up on her!

[smokingfrog]

"they get confused sometimes"

...You mean like those folks down in Florida that could not figure out the "butterfly ballot?"

[skr]

Wow, what a hard decision! You should be a debate question-writer It’s easiest to call a tie, but considering that the others at least put a few years into various government positions before running for president, Obama wins this one.

[palomonte]

...largest ego...

which Clinton?

[21twelve]

I’d be too mad to even speak. But if I could control my anger:

“Oh, I see. Now, I’m glad he is for abortions. But is he for partial birth abortions? Oh he is!? That’s great. Although I think it should be okay if they have a defect or something that the mom should get a few days (but of course while in the hospital) to think about keeping the baby alive. I mean, some of those tests just aren’t that good. I don’t think it is best for the baby to live all deformed the rest of its life do you? And what about blue eyes? I can’t stand blue eyes - they are like some weird Aryan race thing or maybe even like those albino deer they show on National Geographic or something its like you never can trust them ‘cuz they look so weird and they seem to look right through you and ....

[WildcatClan]

....and the local brown shirts from www.public allies.org will soon be knocking at your door to check if you are listening or watching one of the “wrong” stations.

They better know a good proctologist and/or podiatrist then. :)

[Luke21]

Without the internet, we were forced to read between the lines, very much like in the Soviet Union. The only difference was that we got a happy surprise when our side won. The press always told us we were losing and that no one agreed with us.

[Carley]

The elitist has been eating too much arugula.

[Fresh Wind]

Now we're basically decent, except when we listen to the "wrong" radio stations, and watch the "wrong" TV networks.

And we don't get off on killing babies.

[Polybius]

Which network? ABC? CBS? NBC?

[Allegra]

What an arrogant, condescending jerk.

So people who don't watch or listen to the Obama-worshiping stations are observing the "wrong" media.

My utter disdain for this weasel grows more each time I hear him speak.

[grimalkin]

I have been shamed! I will refrain from listening to the wrong talk radio programs. The Messiah does not approve. </sarcasm>

*puke*

[BelegStrongbow]

My utter disdain for this weasel grows more each time I hear him speak.

I've stopped listening to him entirely. If he comes on unexpectedly, I simply MUTE and go off to do something productive (anything will do, of course).

But what I'm finding to be grimly amusing is the increasingly desperate tone his backers and sycophants are taking. There's an FM radio station nearby which has two morning hosts. They're on before Boortz and sometimes I listen simply to hear how the half-educated sound before someone fully capable of using his brainpan displays his effortless skill. They got a call from an adult woman (as opposed to Caroline Kennedy or Pelosi, for instance) who could not be dislodged from asserting and proving they were partisans for Obama. They did everything they could to intimidate her, but she calmly read them back everything they have done, compared it to what McCain partisans have done and said and most calmly asked, "So when are you going to admit you're partisan?" They finally gave up, without actually admitting it, and then selected calls for an hour from people in the audience anxious to soothe their bruised egos.

But, it isn't working. They keep up their 'Dan Rather' segment, but all the humor has now been punctured from it because that woman's call hangs in the air and they can't dispel the effect. Their work has been toppled from 'objective' to 'partisan' and the cracks begin to show.

So, I'm encouraged. The polls continue to show that more people are not buying the Obama line. I'd not be surprised to wake up and find that California was in play.

My advice is: don't listen to him. Read transcipts of what he has said (so you quote him accurately) but avoid that pseudo-cool voice with that slouching-to-Bethlehem drawl. It's what I do and I'm happier for it.

[Allegra]

My approach is to keep a close eye on the enemy. I hear him and am disgusted, but the better one knows an enemy, the more prepared one is to deal with that enemy. There's no danger of his pseudo-cool voice winning me over. I see him quite clearly for what he is. The emperor has no clothes.

I'm even sort of forced to endure CNN sometimes when I want to watch the news. I have AFN News which shows CNN, MSNBC and Fox on rotating two hour shifts throughout the day. Sometimes, when I get back to quarters after work, it's CNN's turn. It boggles my mind how they are so blatantly an Obama Campaign Channel. And if anything, MSNBC is even worse.

KUDOS to the woman who stuck it to those liberal FM radio monkeys.

[Adder]

What a pompous a$$!!! STFU, already!

I’ll show you basicly decent on Nov. 4.

[PennsylvaniaMom]

"Wrong" radio stations and TV networks? How, in a society based up free speech, is any choice made by any 'decent' American wrong? You get to chose for us Barry? You know what is better for us Barry?

There was another thread, late last night, about a big Hillary supporter, Louise de Rothschild (yes, one of 'the' Rothschilds) coming out today (Wed.) to endorse McCain. Yes she is leaving the Democratic Plantation (albeit in a chauffered Rolls) due to the fact that she is on record as saying she doesn't like or trust Obama...AND...(this is hugh!!!) she finds Barry 'elitist.' The irony. A Rothschild (even by marriage) finding Obama too elite? Isn't that just rich?

[BelegStrongbow]

I'm even sort of forced to endure CNN sometimes when I want to watch the news.

One of the reasons I'm so dead against flying anymore is that only CNN is piped into the airports. I find that to be repressive and insulting. My betters are determining for me what opinions I should cultivate in a public place, it apparently being disgraceful to air Fox News.

I used to get CNN as part of my cable package. But then, I had to cut back and one of the ways was to switch to a limited package. I assumed I'd be forced to have CNN, but, lo and hehold, my main choice is Fox (I also have MSNBC - yucky double yuck). CNN nowhere to be seen. One of those win-win situations.

The emperor has no clothes.

Ugh. That's a picture I didn't need. But thanks for replying so affirmatively.
