'Socialist,' 'Muslim' — Ugly reception for Obama By: Politico Staff October 19, 2008 03:56 PM EST
Barack Obama's stop at Cape Fear BBQ and Chicken in Fayetteville, N.C., this afternoon underscored the continued resistance of some voters to his candidacy — and his identity. The trip, according to a pool report, offered “some powerful and at times ugly interaction.”
Campaigning in a traditionally Republican state, the Democratic nominee found lots of supporters of John McCain, at least one woman who believes the Illinois senator is a "closet Muslim" — and another who repeatedly shouted “Socialist.”
The following is a compilation of pool reports from print, TV and wire reporters who accompanied Obama to the diner:
Obama arrived at the barbecue joint around 12:30 p.m., where an older and majority white clientele of several dozen were eating lunch after church services. Many patrons applauded as he walked into the diner, but Diane Fanning, 54, began yelling “Socialist, socialist, socialist — get out of here!”
Obama did not look directly at her, as she was across the diner, but it was loud enough that he most likely heard her.

Nice. This guy is going down out in the country and in the ‘burbs.
Mrs. Fanning will soon get the goon squad adjustment.
Sometimes the truth is just plain ugly. Lucky the DEMS have POLITICO to help soften it a bit.
If the shoe fits...
Poor poor poor Obama....
I hated it when the McCain/Palin campaign attacked Trig and Bristol Palin and paid the National Buttwiperer to attack the Palin family. Opps! That was “The One’s” Gestapo that did that. Sorry. My mistake.
“underscored the continued resistance”
Revealing wording by Politico.
Damn. I wish he would appear in my neck of the woods. I’d give him a piece of my mind. The Plumber uprising has begun!
Now, if he were President I don’t think I’d be that disrespectful — but as a candidate? Hell yeah.
The truth hurts, huh Obama?
Wonder if he had pork.
Did anyone else note this phrasing? 'Resistance'? Incredible.
So the focused group word of the day is “Resistance”?
How nice, Obamao could be starting to see the beginnings of “blowback” for some of the crap he has pulled via his Media Wing, if a lady in some BBQ joint is willing to shout him out in front of everyone including the media, you had better believe there is a horde of people who feel the same way.
Great stuff. They should have chased him out of there. It disgusts me how the elites have anointed this vile Marxist as our next leader. It’s about time he gets a taste of what real Americans think about him.
This is so silly. He IS a socialist. (Actually, he’s a Marxist, but “socialist” is basically Marx’s economic system, so we can go with that.) And if he’s not a Moslem, why isn’t he stopping his family and supporters in Africa and Middle East from saying he is?
Yes, but his 100% share of the urban parasite vote will be problematic. Last time, some of them were still afraid enough of another 9/11 to vote for Bush - now it's all about the free stuff Obi from Nairobi is promising them.
Why would Obama go into a rural NC restaurant where he was sure to be met with those opposed to him? Could it be he wanted to evoke “resistance” to prove Biden’s point that those that aren’t voting for Obama are “racists.”
I’d rename the article.. “A Truthful Reception for Obama”
Did not the Politiho engage in ugly reporting about Gov. Palin’s family?
Scary, especially since the MSM have spent the last 8 years telling Americans they should hate their President because he is so hated “worldwide”.
Creepy....reeducation camp is in Diane’s future. She had better be careful.
