Obama on small-town PA: Clinging religion, guns, xenophobia

Sorry, I just got back from racing around with Daisy Duke in my General Lee car.

He's been hanging out with Rev. Wright and he can't figure out why people in Pittsburgh, Allentown, and Lancaster County might be a little uncomfortable with his candidacy? Hint: It's not their nativism that is the problem.

“Unlikely, because even though Hillary isn’t likely to say so, she and her following believe the same thing: a completely false impression of small-town Pennsylvania.”

In fact, THIS is what Hillary said, today:

“It’s being reported that my opponent said the people of Penn facing hard times are bitter. That’s not my experience. I see people that are optimistic, that are positive, that are rolling up their sleeves.”

~faith.

As usual, Ace of Spades has the falling-down funniest take ever on Obama's latest case of stumble-tongue:

Obama To Rural Pennsylvanians: "Vote For Me, You Corncob-Smokin', Banjo-Strokin', Chicken-Chokin', Cousin'-Pokin', Inbred Hillbilly Racist Morons!"

Darn right I’m going to cling to my guns. Especially once these fools get elected.

No kidding. It might be time to go out and buy a few more weapons; you never know what the future may hold.

“And it's not surprising then they get bitter, they cling to guns or religion or antipathy to people who aren't like them or anti-immigrant sentiment or anti-trade sentiment as a way to explain their frustrations.”

The sentiments Obama displays as well as the delusional belief set he demonstrates are what we have seen over the years from only the most virulent haters.

Go to hell, Obama, you glibly racist jackass!

Always has been; always will be. ;)

Funny how opportunism can make a lefty turn a conservative sounding phrase, aint it?

[KentTrappedInLiberalSeattle]

Oh, I am so absolutely stealing this. ;)

Scary that Barry can make Hillary look like a palatable alternative. . .

Connecting him with osama is not going to work. His liberal gun policies and infantile view of socialism will. Not to mention he has no idea how we got in Iraq.

[sitetest]

What a condescending turd.

Hope this gets lots of play throughout the countryside of Pennsylvania.

[xtinct]

Out loud...

Spokesmodel Wright explained Obama's thoughts about the White race and Jews, America, etc. Now, Obama is mocking the very people he wants to vote for him, at a distance... sheesh... haven't these Democrat idiots learned that whatever they say can be beamed out to everyone in a matter of seconds.

And, regarding racism, Bubba Clinton, spokesmodel for Hildabeast spewed the same type of sentiments about Blacks in South Carolina. And, Geraldine Ferraro... that was certainly an... open mouth insert foot moment.

Thing is I believe they're all racists in one form or another.

Well I can’t imagine someone like Bud Shuster was any help either.

Talk about talking down to your audience.

You can go to hell, Hussein!

You bad boy ;)

How many Americans are aware that Obama called the Muslim call to prayer, “one of the prettiest sounds on Earth at sunset”?

Got a source for that one? An audio quote would be perfect.
