Republicans, stop calling Obama elitist (Barf alert)
Salon ^ | 9/5/2008 | Bill Maher

Posted on 09/06/2008 3:15:44 PM PDT by Ol' Sparky

New Rule: Republicans need to stop saying Barack Obama is an elitist, or looks down on rural people, and just admit you don't like him because of something he can't help, something that's a result of the way he was born. Admit it, you're not voting for him because he's smarter than you.

--

Barack Obama can't help it if he's a magna cum laude Harvard grad and you're a Wal-Mart shopper who resurfaces driveways with your brother-in-law. Americans are so narcissistic that our candidates have to be just like us.

"Wait a minute, I thought all Republicans were rich and idly lazy, disconnected from the common folk. Now we are the common folk? "

They keep contradicting themselves. One minute we are rich, owners of, or CEO's of big, bad national companies and multi national corporations, the next we are rural bible thumping rednecks clinging to our guns.

One minute Obama is "looking down" at religious rural gun toting rednecks, the next he is stuffing prayers in a prayer wall, parading his wife and kids on stage during the RAT convention and broadcasting to the world a long distance bed time good night to his little darling kids, as if that is "normal". (What I saw was Obama being the usual absent father plaguing black children everywhere) Yet when Sara Palin's kids are up late with their mother at the convention, RAT media claims it's bad mothering keeping the kids out late.

Anyone who becomes president is smart, no matter what the MSM says. It’s a tough job with a physically tough vetting process.

Where we don’t like Barry is not because he’s an elitist. It’s because he’s a PRETENTIOUS elitist. How do we know he didn’t get where he was simply because of affirmative action? He didn’t author any articles as editor of Harvard Law review. We really know nothing about the man, and the MSM has stood in the way of every piece of info.

For cripes sake, Sarah Palin has been more viciously vetted in the past week than Obama has been in two years.

Why would any self-respecting editor accept such trash even in an opinion column?

Because they're not self-respecting. I really believe they all loathe themeselves just as much as they hate us.

So let me get this straight. Obama gets a degree from Harvard...he’s smarter than the world

George W Bush gets an MBA from Harvard...he’s a dumb idiot

That about sums up Bill Mahers ability to think logically....DUH

Bill: Whatever you want, I hope America gets the opposite. And she’ll be just fine. Whenever you come on the TV, I change the channel. You are on the side of America’s enemies, and your snide elitism goes well with Obama’s. Oops, did I say that?

'Better and getting to the 'truth of the matter' - we need to first, stop calling Obama a 'Democrat'. . .

/Or stop calling Obama an 'American.'/

. . .lol and for sure!

While at it; he should STOP crediting himself as a 'Professor'(of Constitutional Law, yet) - and a Christian, for that matter.

"Because they're not self-respecting. I really believe they all loathe themeselves just as much as they hate us."

This is something we have to lobby government to correct, out of control, lying, biased MSM. Free press in this country was meant to allow the freedom of an honest, unbiased press. Not a press that attempts to sway elections, deceive the public and circumvent our right and duty to elect our government based on honest and truthful information.

Is there something wrong with being a a Wal-Mart shopper who resurfaces driveways? I see that as a privilege. What a bunch of snobs.
