'Socialist,' 'Muslim' — Ugly reception for Obama

'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.

Are some of us beginning to wake up to this fraud?
Oh, how that does my heart good to hear that shouted at him!

Protest this fraud running for our presidency!
Let your voice be heard!

McCain will NOT attack enough to win the election.
WE CAN.
Flood the MSM out with emails with videos, articles, documentation.

McCain’s anemic attempts to fight Obama back is losing this election.

You mean white Tar Heelvoters didn’t react well to an apparently well-dressed young black man from Chicago panhandling for ‘change’? :-)

Anytime you have school kids singing songs and chapters in text books being written about a person who just came on the scene a couple of years ago. It’s Mao, Castro and just real scarey all together.

So, rhetorical bluster and mannerisms trumps politics and policy. Gotcha Betty!

My anger against bambi was fairly well controlled until I saw the vid where he said “this is who (McCain) is fighting for....a plumber...a plumber (crowd laughter).” That was it for me and it showed when I visited some lib friends that night who are supporting dippy. I doubt we are friends anymore. Enough is enough, this isn’t the usual lib vs conservative thing anymore, this is about saving america from Stalinism.

Can you say “lock step”

Actually, I believe that the term you are looking for here is "goose-step"

“He has been attacking the heck out of me,” Obama said, “Lately, he and Governor Palin actually accused me of socialism. Socialism. It’s kind of hard to figure how Warren Buffet endorsed me, Colin Powell endorsed me and John McCain thinks I’m practicing socialism.”

Marx and Obama redistributing wealth or as Barack said, practicing socialism.

Alot of people here hate northerners, but it’s somewhat hidden. He probably hasn’t figured that out yet. He won in the primaries because of the high AA turnout in the cities. Hillary won the countryside.

Wayne & Betty Waylett are on the Arts Council in NC so I doubt that she is a Republican.
