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.

Maher, if you pay him enough I’ll send my kid over to fix those holes in your driveway, since that kind of work is evidently beneath you.

Was Obama really a magna cum laude graduate?

How do you graduate “magna cum laude” from a graduate program? I thought latin honors were traditionally reserved for undergrad programs. Maher should read Senator Obama’s biography. It is my understanding he has a bachelor’s degree from Columbia and a law degree from Harvard.

Harvard cum Laudes- doing the jobs Americans are too stupid to do!

Given his diss of the little people, Bill Maher better have a list of Harvard cum Laude’s to call when his plumbing backs up.

Which I imagine happens frequently in his house

"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."

We don't call him an "elitist", we call him a Marxist. Learn the difference.

He doesn't look down on 'rural" people, he looks down at WHITE people, because he's a RACIST. learn the difference betweween "rural" and "white people living in rural America".

He isn't smarter than any of us. He didn't graduate with any honors or special awards from Harvard, he graduated because of affirmative action, which is why all his grades and papers are sealed until after the election.

Name something he actually acomplished in his life, the law firm he propelled to the top because of his brilliance, Government experience in SOMETHING, ANYTHING. "Community organizing" for the likes of Rev. Wright and a terrorists are harldly what i would call qualifications to be POTUS. In fact why is he even in the senate?

That we can answer. He "community organized his way in there, with the help of well known haters of this nation, such as Ayers,Rev. Wright, Soros.

Any doubt McCain has turned the tables on this election? Any doubt at all?

Read this stuff.

Now is the time for McCain to define the debate for the next two months. Focus on energy, security, and low taxes/small gov’t.

Obama struggles on those and they are winners for McCain. Could even throw the democratic congress into the mix to help down the ticket. Keep Obama on defense and he will continue to stutter.

And since he's so smart Bill, he fell compelled to hide his Ivy League education from the American people! I'm not ashamed of having gone to a state school!

It’s too funny watching Big Nose Bill Maher with his Hollywood spoiled brat crowd, talk down to normal people.

I'm not sure, but I don't think Barry O graduated from Havard magna cum laude...

Not that it matters.

As I was explaining to my wife, there are those rare individuals who can overcome a Harvard education and go on to live a useful and productive life... But Barry O is not of of them!
