Republicans, stop calling Obama elitist (Barf alert)

Salon ^ | 9/5/2008 | Bill Maher

[Ol' Sparky]

New Rule: Republicans need to stop saying Barack Obama is an elitist, or looks down on rural people, and just admit you don't like him because of something he can't help, something that's a result of the way he was born. Admit it, you're not voting for him because he's smarter than you.

--

Barack Obama can't help it if he's a magna cum laude Harvard grad and you're a Wal-Mart shopper who resurfaces driveways with your brother-in-law. Americans are so narcissistic that our candidates have to be just like us.

[Ol' Sparky]

Yeah, a candidate that doesn't even know what Memorial Day is smarter than us.

If a Republican had made all the gaffes Barry has made, he would be portrayed as the biggest dunce in the world.

[montag813]

Yeah, he’s so smart we aren’t allowed to see his Columbia grades.

[GeorgeBerryman]

New Rule: Republicans need to stop saying Barack Obama is an elitist...

New Rule: Maher's a tool.

[Jaguarmike]

We’re just bitter and clinging to our guns and religion.

[ronnie raygun]

OK, he’s a socialist marxist far left liberal communist with community organizer eperience
(anti American rable rouser )

[RedRover]

Bill Maher supports Obama. Only people as smart as Obama support him. Ergo, Maher is smart as Obama.

No argument there.

[TheWasteLand]

As odious as Maher is, this kind of garbage alienates most people and actually helps the GOP.

[Mrs.Z]

Let them keep it up.

Pi$$ people off more.

This will be the biggest landslide in history, and all of them will be moving to France.

;^)

[FlingWingFlyer]

Since I didn’t get to go to Hahvid (I was kinda busy defending my country with all the other po’ folks), I’ll call him anything I want!!!

[1rudeboy]

Imagine, just imagine, Maher’s reaction if a Republican had made the “Nitaly Lion” comment.

[originalbuckeye]

And, of course, the writers for the late night comedians, and the rest of the MSM, say there's nothing to poke fun at. Obama is truly Gaffe Central but none of them will touch any of his gaffes. They would lose the moonbat 50% of their audience. I guess they'd rather lose the Conservative 50% rather than the Loony Lefty 50%.

[trisham]

Obam-uh can't form a complete sentence without a teleprompter. The only person he's smarter than is Maher.

[Yossarian]

Barack Obama can't help it if he's a magna cum laude Harvard grad and you're a Wal-Mart shopper who resurfaces driveways with your brother-in-law.

Yes, he could help it - he could have chosen to do something useful and productive with his life. Instead, he went down a path that led to bizzare and narcissistic delusions of superiority.

I'm sure there are some Harvard Law School grads out there humbly working selflessly to make the world a better place - but that's only because I believe in a "bell curve" distribution of results in any given population.

[mass55th]

Yeah Bill, I guess he is smarter than me. I never knew there were 57 states in the Union.

[Navy Patriot]

Salon and Maher belong underneath one of those resurfaced driveways.

[svcw]

As someone who is a religion clinging gun totting typical white woman who is not embarrassed she has breasts I call Barry out - you are an elitists.
If he can't handle that to damn bad.

[SampleMan]

When have the Dhims ever had a candidate that they didn't declare to be smarter than the rest of us. So smart in fact that the masses were just to dumb to see it.

John Kerry wasn't a boring, pretentious windbag - he was thoughtful. So thoughtful that it just appeared boring and pretentious to us normal stupid folk.

And Algore. He too was an intellectuals intellectual. So smart that he just couldn't connect.

I'm glad to see that they are warming up their excuses for losing. By the way, this rant needs to be printed on flier with the appropriate lines bolded and stuck all over cars at Walmarts everywhere.

[originalbuckeye]

Which MSM Feminist said that the intelligent women wouldn't be voting for McCain/Palin?

Keep it up MSM. Keep it up. More support for us from the vast middle voters. I love it!

[Virginia Ridgerunner]

Bill is a sad, strange little pundit, and he has my pity.

[Rennes Templar]

Funny how many times we’ve heard BO went to Harvard, rarely
did we hear W went to Yale.

[goldstategop]

Obama is so smart, he can't get the Nittany Lions right! And Bill Maher wants us to believe he's being ridiculed as an elitist because he's too smart! Jeez! (laughing)

[lainie]

What

the hell is Bill Maher talking about?

Obama is “smarter” than us? And Bill’s admonishing others to stop thinking about elitism?

[TheClintons-STILLAnti-American]

The day Bill Mahr makes any rules to live by is the day that we'll know this nation has been completely overrun by the wacko left.

In more sane times, this sad little man would have had to get a real job long ago, rather than have his sneering observations be supported by those with similarly pathetic perspectives.

[lesser_satan]

If the Salon doesn’t like it, it must mean it’s working.

[cpanter]

The funny part is that Maher knows the republican camp has outsmarted the messiah, so he lashes out at the walmart shoppers. LOL.

Bottom line. They are looking at another election where the republicans define the democrats and it sticks because it’s true. Sorry about your luck Maher.

[Brilliant]

I haven’t heard them say that in a few weeks, but this article ought to keep the story going.

[tomkat]

'elite' my ass

Sissyboy

hiding behind skirts and thugs and media scum

[goldstategop]

That's a dig right there at all the downscale folks! THEY NEED OBAMA! Shut the f*ck up, Maher! You're full of it!

[JerseyDvl]

Sounds like Maher is saying he is not an ELITIST but a SNOB.

It’s semantics but that’s I can comply.

NO SNOBama 08!

[shiva]

He’s soooo smart he eats his own snot. Sorry but this guy just insulted me. Turn about is fair play.

[I see my hands]

Ho Bama, Hey Bama,
Bama, Bama, Ho!
Bama Hey, Bama Ho, Bama!
Hey O-B, O-B, won't you smile at me?
Bama Hey, Bama Ho,
Super Star!

[D_Idaho]

What a dick.

[cricket]

Better and getting to the 'truth of the matter' - we need to first, stop calling Obama a 'Democrat'. . .

[jgilbert63]

New Rule: Maher’s a tool.

- - - - - - - -

Nah...that’s an old rule. Maher has always been a tool.

[dfwgator]

Better and getting to the 'truth of the matter' - we need to first, stop calling Obama a 'Democrat'. . .

Or stop calling Obama an 'American.'

[RayChuang88]

Okay, Mr. Maher, we won't call him elitist. We'll just call him The Zero because Senator Obama's legislative achievements are as thin as a piece of paper!

[Kackikat]

So that means that Maher and Obama are both ZEROS...lol

[Mamzelle]

heh—more of them on the defensive.

[Argus]

When Sarah Palin’s teleprompter goes on the fritz, she doesn’t miss a beat and keeps right on going with her speech, smooth as silk. When Obama’s teleprompter hits a glitch, he freezes like a deer in the headlights going “Uh...uh...uh...”

Who’s smarter?

[Rosemont]

New Rule: Big Nose Bill Maher needs to stop recruiting his audience from Communist party meetings

[cosmic_me]

New Rule... Democrat: Stop telling this Republican how to think and feel.

[Cicero]

Maher, if you pay him enough I’ll send my kid over to fix those holes in your driveway, since that kind of work is evidently beneath you.

[abclily]

Was Obama really a magna cum laude graduate?

[PrincessB]

How do you graduate “magna cum laude” from a graduate program? I thought latin honors were traditionally reserved for undergrad programs. Maher should read Senator Obama’s biography. It is my understanding he has a bachelor’s degree from Columbia and a law degree from Harvard.

[silverleaf]

Harvard cum Laudes- doing the jobs Americans are too stupid to do!

Given his diss of the little people, Bill Maher better have a list of Harvard cum Laude’s to call when his plumbing backs up.

Which I imagine happens frequently in his house

[shekkian]

Okay, Bill Maher.

YOU are an elitist.

[Nathan Zachary]

"New Rule: Republicans need to stop saying Barack Obama is an elitist, or looks down on rural people, and just admit you don't like him because of something he can't help, something that's a result of the way he was born. Admit it, you're not voting for him because he's smarter than you."

We don't call him an "elitist", we call him a Marxist. Learn the difference.

He doesn't look down on 'rural" people, he looks down at WHITE people, because he's a RACIST. learn the difference betweween "rural" and "white people living in rural America".

He isn't smarter than any of us. He didn't graduate with any honors or special awards from Harvard, he graduated because of affirmative action, which is why all his grades and papers are sealed until after the election.

Name something he actually acomplished in his life, the law firm he propelled to the top because of his brilliance, Government experience in SOMETHING, ANYTHING. "Community organizing" for the likes of Rev. Wright and a terrorists are harldly what i would call qualifications to be POTUS. In fact why is he even in the senate?

That we can answer. He "community organized his way in there, with the help of well known haters of this nation, such as Ayers,Rev. Wright, Soros.

[Calamari]

It's the Ears stupid!

[donnab]

No Bill...I am not voting for Obama because I am smarter than YOU!
