'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.

Napoleon (Obama), Squealer (MSM), Sheep (Dem’s) will all be so surprised when the Hen’s (Rep’s) decide to come home to roost.

Nice...note how they point out “older” “majority white” “after church”. Trying to make them look like a bunch of racist religious zealots to discredit them.

“Obi from Nairobi”, that is hilarious. Hadn’t heard that before.

I am fairly confident that McCain will carry North Carolina, in spite of the northern liberals who have moved there over the years.

I don’t expect there’s lobster and caviar on the menu there... wonder what he really had for Sunday dinner.

If he shows up around my Texas city, you guys may have to bail me out of jail.

I’d go the lady one better and shout, ‘Muslim’! ‘Baby Killer!’ ‘Communist! How DARE you run for president of the free world!’.

Based on some of the emails I’ve sent recently and knowing that anybody can see them, I might be the first one put in an oslama concentration camp if he is elected.

It’s worth the risk.

I agree. “Socialism” is just the economic component of Obama’s whole ruler-cult schtik.

Good for you.

I know that I will never talk to my aunt again because of her support for the marxist.

Wonder if he had pork.

We'd know if the MSM didn't like him. But we won't know since they are in bed with him. Has anyone seen him eat pork? I doubt it.

“1. How many tax liens does Ms. Fanning have?
2. Is she licensed in her profession?
3. Has she ever been cited for any illegal conduct?
4. What websites does she surf at home?
5. What are her home and cell phone records?
6. Has she ever voted for Pat Buchanan, or worn a button?”

-I’m sure we’ll find out this week-courtesy of the Drive-by Media!

I think he’s trying to blow some hot air into the balloon that says NC is really in play. In any case, you have to wonder about the choices the man makes. Anybody knows that Fayetteville is red territory. Why didn’t he go to a bluer venue?

The Marxist Onada is not doing well under pressure. Not at all well. And there are those who say Gov. Palin is not ready to be president.

“underscored the continued resistance” Revealing wording by Politico.

You got that right. I'm an extremely analytical person, not given to paranoia. But after I maded a post last night, a long-time freeper sent freemail asking me to tell him a little about the private school where I work. I went on full internal alert. Life shouldn't be that way, but I suspect it will be increasingly so in a short time.

If Obama wins.

If he manages to win, you’re going to respect him? Not me. Not by a long shot. He’ll be the same lying SOB whether he wins or loses.

Look, people, we should be proud to be called “The Resistance.” After all, that’s the name of the group in Europe in World War II that fought underground against Hitler.

Tell me, are *we* as historically illiterate as the Dums? Please, educate yourselves or shut up.
