Cafferty's Defense (CNN's Jack Cafferty Compares Americans To Middle Eastern Terrorists?

The Politico ^ | 4/12/2008 | Ben Smith

[Laissez-faire capitalist]

Obama campaign sent out this segment in which Jeff Toobin, Jack Cafferty, and Gloria Gorger all defended Obama...

But as the pundits go into high dudgeon on behalf of regular Aemricans, this bit from Cafferty also sort of raised the eyebrows:

The people are frustrated. The people have no economic opportunity. What happens to folks like that in the Middle ESat, you ask? Well, take a look. They go to places like Al Qaeda training camps.

With defenders like that...

[Laissez-faire capitalist]

What say you?

Its revealing the Left hates Flyover Country more than it does America's enemies abroad. They wouldn't make such an inane comparison if they didn't.

"Show me just what Mohammed brought that was new, and there you will find things only evil and inhuman, such as his command to spread by the sword the faith he preached." - Manuel II Palelologus

Small town America’s biggest frustration is that these idiots get airtime. Presumably, Cafferty’s comments are directed at his leftist, elitist audience. He wants some of the love that Olbermann gets.

[Jaded]

They can’t seem to bring up any legitimate concerns so they resort to the usual the sky is falling hysteria. If enough people keep up the hysteria the sheeple will follow.

[RightWhale]

That’s what they say, and they also compare Christians to islamic terrorists.

[Laissez-faire capitalist]

The Obama campaign sent out this CNN segment!!!

[popdonnelly]

If that’s Obama’s diagnosis, how does he propose to save us from all those bitter, gun-totin’, Bible-thumpin’ folks out in rural America? Vote for Obama and be saved?

Socially retarded...or willfully prejudice?

Balance.

[TornadoAlley3]

wow, lots of unemployed bitter folks posting comments at that link.

[popdonnelly]

As I recall, the CNN sages all said that Obama was correct. Small town Americans are bitter, gun-totin’, Bible-thumpin’ xenophobes. So they bought in to the stereotype.

[shove_it]

Typical from the Jack Cafferty hurl-o-rama. My stomach churns at the sight of him.

[Earthdweller]

Just look at it this way...the metros have to use a much bigger brush to stereotype all of flyover.

Must get tiresome carrying that heavy brush around.

[Hoboken]

Check out the comments under Bens article. The pinkos are tearing each other apart. I love how this bar fight is spilling out into the street for all the world to see!

[L98Fiero]

“wow, lots of unemployed bitter folks posting comments at that link.”

Mostly BS, I’ll bet. Somehow I don’t see folks admitting “Obama’s right! I cling to guns, God and racism to deal with my bitterness for not having a cushy job.”

[iopscusa]

Go to Politico's comments on anything pertaining to the Messiah...the pro Obama posters are the worse of the worse, nasty and threaten all sorts of retribution against the site's owner...the BHO posters appear to be the new Ron Paulians of the net. They swarm to defend their commie hero!

[RobinOfKingston]

When you put high tech equipment in the hands of idiots you wind up with cnn or its equivalent.

[shhrubbery!]

Hit-and-run Jack Cafferty is a perfect representative of the Drive-by Media.

[red irish]

Mine too! He has to be a very unhappy man,his face always looks like he is completely miserable. Or maybe he has too much hate in his heart.
