The Morning Joe panelist today lamented blue-collar whites who "can't hear" the message Barack Obama propounded.

Guess Obama was right in noting that white people need more ear training, so that we can hear the underlying positive message of love and hope that resides in Wright's invocation for God to damn America, and thus understand Obama's willingness to donate thousands of dollars to spread that message.

Blue Collar Whites know BS when the hear it Mika.

You could tell that Mika didn't want to hear what he was saying at the end

He could have been more blunt and said "They hear it fine, they just think his message is BS"

Exactly. Next year we’ll ditch anthropologists and go straight to the chimps for answers to universal questions—not that Bonzo mightn’t be an improvement. Too many logical fallacies here to type.

Over the weekend, I was speaking with some friends about our children and what was going on in their lives, and one of the friends decided to go on a rant about how white, middle class women are responsible for Obama and what he’s going to do to this country. Of the group of us, the male is Hispanic, one female is Hispanic, and the other two females in the group are white. I laughed at him and then listened to his rantings. The guy is a veteran and a patriot. He’s also a life-long Democrat. But he’ll vote for McCain. He would vote for Hillary and was incredulous at my words to describe Hillary though he agreed with me when I spoke of Bubba. His rantings were very interesting because he knows where I’m from (deep South), and we’ve had lots of race conversations. I know a lot of Hispanics who will support Obama. But it’ll be a tough sell for the majority of them. Economic class will be a huge factor. The middle and lower income classes of Hispanics do not trust Obama’s rhetoric, AND HIS RELIGION OR LACK THEREOF IS A HUGE FACTOR. This friend was adamant about Obama being Muslim. I’m convinced he’s neither Muslim nor Christian. I think he is as much of an atheist as his mother was. Regardless, the Wright stuff is going to tank Obama’s candidacy in the long run.

"the message"

There is a thought prevalent in left-circles reflecting puzzlement over the fact that many lower middle class and middle class whites don't automatically vote for Dems. According to these "experts" the Dem Party is the party that supports their economic interests.

Disregard the fact that those middle class people vote for a host of issues other than economic ones. Obviously libs can't understand why those people reject socialist economic policies which would fleece the upper classes and hand their money over to the middle and lower (economics-wise) classes.

What is lost on these geniuses is that maybe those people don't like socialist handouts. Maybe they prefer to work for a living rather than relying on big government. I have to laugh at lib "experts" consternation for many less-than-rich Americans refusal to support socialism.

Racial “epitaphs?”

LOL!

Forgot to edit that out!

On the other hand, I wouldn’t doubt she could write a few.

Yes. Black turnout is NOT necessary for a Dem to win Pennsylvania. Hillary just needs the blue collar white vote and suburban women.

I think you overestimate the amount of black anger there will be if Hillary get the nod, especially if Obama campaigns for her.

Mika can’t be a good lay because she won’t stop talking insipid liberal politics. Can you imagine being harangued about Obama campaign talking points while trying to enjoy the moment?

"making obscene gestures while shrieking racial epitaphs at the elderly victim as the bus ran over her"

racial epithets?

ep·i·taph –noun 1. a commemorative inscription on a tomb or mortuary monument about the person buried at that site. 2. a brief poem or other writing in praise of a deceased person. –verb (used with object) 3. to commemorate in or with an epitaph. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- [Origin: 1350–1400; ME epitaphe < L epitaphium < Gk epitáphion over or at a tomb, equiv. to epi- epi- + táph(os) tomb + -ion n., adj. suffix]
