Obama Mocks Cubs Fans
AZCONSERVATIVE ^ | 1 Sep 2008 | John Semmens

Posted on 09/03/2008 4:36:53 PM PDT by John Semmens

Claiming to be an avid White Sox fan, presidential candidate Senator Obama belittled fans of the Chicago Cubs baseball team.

“Cubs fans aren’t serious students of the game,” Obama charged. “They’re just there to have a few beers and pass the time. It’s probably just as well. Because it’s been 100 years since the Cubs won the Super Bowl.”

What an idiot! I don’t follow baseball and even I know what he said is bunk. I also know enough to know that the Super Bowl is for the football championship.

OK.

I was thinking I had wandered into the Rocky Horror Election Show or something and I wasn’t clued in.

Well, he didn’t actually say Superbowl, but anyone who disses the fanatically loyal Cubs fans can’t be much of a baseball fan himself.

Typical upper-crust disdain from Obama. Why is it that even his casual statements seem to be freighted with classist misperceptions and judgments?

The e-mail I sent her. Word for word.....

From the AZCONSERVATIVE and writer John Semmens...........

“Obama Mocks Cubs Fans”

Claiming to be an avid White Sox fan, presidential candidate Senator Obama belittled fans of the Chicago Cubs baseball team.

“Cubs fans aren’t serious students of the game,” Obama charged. “They’re just there to have a few beers and pass the time. It’s probably just as well. Because it’s been 100 years since the Cubs won the Super Bowl.”

This, my FRiend, is going to be a hoot!

As a Die-Hard Cub fan born in 1945 (you do the math) the last year the Cubs won the NL pennant (a title made into a joke by the “Playoffs”), I find Barry to be a clueless, vapid, vacuous, prevaricating, South Chicago DemoCrap political machine thug ( and I was BORN there next to Dick Butkus!) And one hell of a stupid sports fan!

Don’t be so sure Obama isn’t dumb.

The only part he didn’t say was the part about the Superbowl.

He did denigrate Cubs fans and their team.

You’ll have to forgive Osama Hussein Obama, he grew up in Indonesia and attended moslem schools. He knows nothing of baseball or American customs.
