Quite ironic, isn't it?

[Mike Darancette]

Amazing, Ariana gives many the excuse not to vote for Obama they were looking for.

[Merta]

I know it seems like the first big blow(after Reverend Wright) was by an Obama supporter herself, which shows you how asleep at the wheel the MSM is. It seems like they are all for newsstories uncovering the fradulent unless it is master candidate BHO.

[HerrBlucher]

They doubt that she really supports Mr. Obama, have called her a plant for Mrs. Clinton and suggested she was deceptive in getting into the fund-raiser.

Bitter bamaphiles.

Y’all are talking about me again!

[Scotswife]

these types are quick to remind us typical white folks about how certain “code words” or “code phrases” can offend the sensibilities of blacks.
for ex. “boy” or “colored” (which often makes me wonder why the NAACP hasn’t changed their name a long time ago)
“clean”, “articulate”, “he/she speaks well”

But when it comes to their own prejudice and tendency to stereotyping, they cannot fathom why redneck whites would take offense to the plain and obvious condesencsion.

It is particularly insulting when an elitist is soliciting votes from the same people who he clearly looks down upon.

Do we white devils need to compile our own list of code words and code phrases that will set us off?
Just to be helpful and help educate our hoity toity liberal friends?

We are in the majority, so that, ipso facto, we cannot be discriminated against.

The important quotes were buried deep in the narrative, almost as if they were couched to soften the blow. She also said she thought posting on Friday would mean fewer people would see it.

Typical "journalist" tricks. She's a real reporter all right.

[Scotswife]

but we can clearly be offended!
And isn’t that the new thing - to become professional perpetually offended whiners?

And because there are more of us, liberals need us- no matter how much they despise us.

If they want to win elections, they are going to have to figure out how to quit offending the crackers.

Democrats are going to want a Loyalty Oath before the coven will feel they are "safely among fellow travellers"...

Some Obama supporters in the blogosphere were up in arms at Ms. Fowler. They doubt that she really supports Mr. Obama, have called her a plant for Mrs. Clinton and suggested she was deceptive in getting into the fund-raiser.

Because a real Obama supporter would hide the truth, rather than reporting the truth, about what Obama says and believes?

That seems to be the essence of their "disgruntledness" (if I can invent a word - substitute "disgruntlement" if you frown on such invention). Their obvious discomfort at the truth coming out is damning...

[TheThinker]

Ms. Fowler seems like a principled person. She deserves credit for upholding her journalistic obligations to the public.

I was wondering why the story broke on a Friday and now I know...

The greatest obstacle to Obama getting elected is the truth.

The truth of the American people seeing Obama for who he really is:

A rabid anti-white anti-american communist like his father, and his mentor Wright. (and wright’s mentor Crone)

Scroll down and read the comments to Mrs. Fowler by the Hufftards: http://www.huffingtonpost.com/mayhill-fowler/obama-no-surprise-that-ha_b_96188.html

Many seem to think that she should NOT have revealed Senator Obama’s “bitter” remarks at the San Francisco fundraiser, not because they are faked or incorrect, but because it hurts their messiah! They’re accusing this little old lady of being a “Hillary plant” (quite a plant, she’s given BHO the full $2,300) and worse. They’re all about gaining and keeping power and changing AmeriKKKa to their liking, not what’s good for the country!

I don't know what Rush is advising, but I hope at this point PA freepers will vote for Obama. let me put it this way, McGovern > Obama and we know how that turned out.

[Lancey Howard]

Wow. Never been to that Huffingdon post before, but it sure is pop-up city!
Makes me appreciate FR even more.

Yes, but I give her credit for reporting it; she's done far more with just this story than anyone in the fawning liberal media.

With a 100,000 hits in 24 hours, it wasn't buried quite that deep.

I also admire Fowler for being disturbed by Obama's elitism; she obviously hasn't succumbed to the typical Obama supporter's brain atrophy.

Towards he end of the story..there's this little gem...

At the same event, in his speech, Obama also revealed that he HAD VISITED PAKISTAN while in college..

Has anyone seen or heard anything about this? Me, I went to Ft. Lauderdale for spring break...

I like this part: “...suggested she was deceptive in getting into the fund-raiser.”

I guess the honest, “non-deceptive” thing to do would have been to keep Obama’s comments hidden from the public.
