Pennsylvania Welcomes Barack Obama [Pennsylvanians "cling to guns and religion"]

But the truth is, is that, our challenge is to get people persuaded that we can make progress when there’s not evidence of that in their daily lives. 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. 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.

He needs to worry more about the people in the inner citys. Most small town folk cant take care of themselves.

Nobody 'clings' to religion or guns, Senator. They freely choose to associate with them. What the weak-minded 'cling' to is your brand of government-sponsored Socialism and womb-to-tomb Nanny Statism. You cultivate generation after generation of hive-like collectivists who are too dependent upon the largesse of hacks like yourself to have any ability - or motivation - to exercise their God-given free will, or even express a spirit of independence. Your form of governance rots the human soul.

What Barack Hussein Obama said in San Francicko to some billionaires in private and reaffirmed today is what he should have said in his clear and vocal condemnation of Pastor Jeremiah Wright (whom he did NOT condemn).

There is a man who plays the victim mentality (”the government GAVE you AIDS outta some laboratory, the government GAVE you crack cocaine, the government GAVE you 9-11”). A black supremacist CHURCH, pointing the finger of blame at “white priviledge” (on one of Wright’s sermons the crowd gets antsy at what he’s said and he makes it clear that he knows there are a few white people among his congregation that day).

Obama is NOT a uniter. He is a bigoted divider pushing the same tired Marxist agenda.

The 1960s are over. Give it up, man. My brother. < /s >

Almost as smug as the original comment is his defense! He focuses on the "bitter" part, knowing everyone cares about the rest of his comment! The leftists in the media will lap it all up.

The admin of Democratic Underground even suggested this arrogant, treat-the-people-like-sheep strategy:
