Classic.
As always, Mary Katharine Ham is absolutely brilliant.
Excellent analysis. I would just add one point: they're not just questioning sanity or motives, they're also questioning those folks' intelligence. The coastal elite perception is that anyone who is a conservative is either stupid or evil. No decent intelligent person could hold such views. And that's what led to Obama's little rant last week -- and it's also why so many of those elites have rushed to defend his remarks.
You can only pretend for so long.
I guess now he will show up at NASCAR just to looke like he cares. He will roll up his sleezes and eat a hot dog and figure that should shut up them up.
Idiot.
Mary Katherine Hamm is a cutie!

Speaking of twits, there was a video tape reportedly of what Obama said before the “cling” remarks. Highlight — he said words to the effect the “those Pennsylvania people might not want to listen to the news coming from a Black man.”
The twits broke out into chortling, self-praising laughter, very twittish. There was a gleam in Obama’s eye, and he had delivered that particular line or two in more of a black accent. It was good, I saw in his eye that he knew how to play his white liberal audience well...but then his own inner white liberal re-arose and he delivered the droning white pseudo-intellectual comments.
I saw this break later again, in his Annie Oakley speech. He droned on, but when he delivered some lines about Annie Oakley he used a comedic voice, which was good, but short lived.
They can't help themselves, because they can't face the truth. It's a beautiful thing. They're so deserving.
“I guess now he will show up at NASCAR .... “
He’s already tried bowling.

I know these columnists rely on hyperbole to make their case, but just out of curiosity, try Googling the name of any small town along with 'sushi' - you might be surprised (or not) by the number of results.
The plain fact is that in this day and age of mass media, franchise retail and accessible transportation, the only thing that distinguishes big cities from smaller towns are some nice public buildings and maybe, maybe, a homegrown network of (pseudo) intellectuals.
I think the point that many are missing about this whole 'elitism' thing is that any person who resides in SF, LA, NYC, etc either travels extensively to small/middle markets on business trips or visits back home to where they (or their significant other) came from. That means they most likely know firsthand about, and may believe in, the very same type of core values BHO was mocking.
The real issue is that BHO is a hard-core Marxist who really believes in socio-economic control. Forget the fact that he's into black liberation, etc - he's the most left-wing candidate the Dems have ever fielded for national office.
They're running in Mexico on Sunday. He'll fit right in.

Video, please!
Is he callin’ me a ‘cracka’?
"Hussein Obama’s big mouth, small brain, condescending, America-hating, grandkid-baby-terminating, born-alive-infant-abandoning, America-hating-wife, kooky-moonbat-America-hating-pastor, racially-divisive, race-baiting, crotch-saluting, America-flag-disrespecting ... chickens ... coming home to roost ...!"
For an inside look at the real Hussein Obama and his elite hate America backers at San Francisco where Hussein Obama made his elitist remarks,
Go here to see the thread with all The Pictures posted and Here to see another thread about it.
Lots of interesting comments on the threads.

“It has been sickening over the years to watch Republicans, who always rally to the aid of the country’s wealthiest citizens, successfully cast themselves as pork-rind-eating, NASCAR-watching, gun-toting populists. To have the current White House occupant (Yale, Harvard Business School, son of a president) run as a good old boy should have been the final straw.”
Note: Harvard Business School vs Harvard Law School
Give me someone who understands ‘entrepreneurship’ anyday!
