Andy Martin calls Barack Obama the first anti-American candidate for president of the United States
Contrarian Commentary ^ | 4/12/2008 | Andy Martin

Posted on 04/12/2008 7:01:29 AM PDT by igoramus08

(CHICAGO)(April 12, 2008) Chicago-based Obama expert and Internet columnist Andy Martin will hold a 1:00 P.M. Chicago news conference Saturday, April 12th, to condemn Senator Barack Obama for suggesting that small-town America is “bitter” about America and that Americans “cling” to “guns” and “religion” as an outlet for their bitterness.

Martin will also demand that Obama end his “secret” campaign in which the presidential candidate uses meetings that are closed to the media to raise money from wealthy liberals by privately disparaging ordinary Americans.

“In listening to Obama depreciate and disparage small town America,” Martin will say, “I am reminded of the New York tabloid headline about ‘Hicks in the Stix.’ Obama has denigrated small town America. In Obama’s eyes, Main Street in Middle America is ‘Macaccaburg.’ Obama believes ordinary Americans are the real Macacaas.

“Obama seems to think that people turn to religion out of ‘bitterness.’ That has not been my experience. Christians are optimistic people, not bitter. Maybe Obama and his soul brother Jeremiad Wright are bitter, but America is an optimistic nation.

Obama was right about one thing.

Which he will discover, if he tries to un-cling our guns.

Another way of saying, "opiate of the masses". Obama just revealed himself as a communist.

BINGO!!

You are correct! That is why Dean and head RATS are desperate for this to end before the convention. They want no part of the SD’s having to make an informed choice that will anger their moonbats.

I think now they would rather lose than cause the riots in Denver.

“Senator Barack Obama for suggesting that small-town America is “bitter” about America and that Americans “cling” to “guns” and “religion” as an outlet for their bitterness.”

His disdain for America is even more focused on ‘fly-over’ country. Obama’s malignant contempt for traditional America is seeping to the the surface. Hopefully, by November most Americans will realize what a destructive force he represents.

Obama has turned the corner of radical socialism and has become a certified fascist. This silver tongued demagogue is more dangerous than I ever imagined.

That's really very profound. I'm afraid not too many will even look that far into at what this modern-day lenin has shown. We either learn from history or repeat it.

Barak is anti-American. But not the first. George McGovern and John Kerry come to mind.

Re: Martin will say, “I am reminded of the New York tabloid headline about ‘Hicks in the Stix.’

While I am in agreement with Martin's comments regarding Obama, the above beings to mind "Hixs Nixs Stix Pixs" from James Cagney's 1942 Yankee Doodle Dandy where his George M. Cohan character is translating that headline from the Hollywood trade paper Variety to some passing by teenagers that either think it is jive talk or Greek.

Gadzooks! Today's teenagers... are about just as bad. They think Vietnam is a province of Mexico, France was our opponent in the Civil War and that Glenn Miller must have played in the Steve Miller Band!

I did love when Glenn did "Fly Like an Eagle". Very cool.

I head it the last time I was riding the Chattanooga Choo Choo.
