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.

“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.”

This from the guy who ‘starred’ in such cinematic gems as Pizza Man and Cannibal Women in the Avocado Jungle of Death.

What a douche.

Lets hope that Bill Maur keeps talking. He will cause a landslide loss that will make the Mondale fiasco look like a close one!

Here is the big question of the day.

Is OBAMA going to win the presidential election?

Hey Looney Maher, although BO is only a bag of rocks (with diversity), he is still smarter than you!

We’re just bitter and clinging to our guns and religion.

Come November, I am going to stop clinging to my gun and put down my Bible just long enough to go down to the polling place and vote McCain/Palin.

I’ll call you “elitist” too, you out of touch fool.

You people are disgusting. If you think for one second your clown, Affirmative Action Obama could handle a 9/11 situation or deal with evil bent on our destruction, then you’re even dumber that you look.

This makes sense - now I understand why Bill Maher wants Barack for his president.

They are both cocky and arrogant snobs who get upset whenever they find out that someone may not agree with them.

Look at the bright side, if Bill Maher had been lucky enough to be born black, he would be the Democrat nominee.

"This will be the biggest landslide in history, and all of them will be moving to France."

Promises promises. They all said that when Kerry was running for POTUS. Yet they are still here....

I wish they would all leave and go to Africa and show us all how they will make it a wonderful, green, leftist utopia.

The place is wide open, theirs for the taking. Begging them in fact.

So far however, Moonbat Marxist central, (the UN) has done nothing but screw it up more and create an entire continent of welfare recipients, already developing the mindset that the world's citizens OWES them food, money clothing and health care.

Hey Bill, your piece reads like it was written out of pure panic and desperation. It’s really pathetic and stinks of fear. Please write more, I love a good laugh. That said...I’m off to Wal-Mart!

Yet somehow us inbred Walmart yokels keep beating your edumacated, nuanced candidates’ asses. How does it feel to be bested by such submorons, Bill?

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

I’m not voting for him because he’s a Marxist/Muslim sob.

What a desperate admission of defeat.

This is hilarious— especially coming from Maher.

They know its over.

The reason we call him elitist has nothing to do with his alma mater and everything to do with his arrogance. President Bush went to Ivy League schools, but is not an elitist. He actually cares about other people. Obama “secretly” belittled the common person when in California- and it was only a bit of evidence of the arrogance we already knew to be true.

Bill O’Riley’s face and gesture interpreter must be horrible at her job. She said that Sarah’s catching her tongue between her teeth while timing her zingers was arrogance. That makes no sense at all! It is more likely a reminder not to rush it. Arrogant people don’t make fun of themselves, as she does with her pit bull joke, while noting her determination. Arrogant people don’t live as unselfishly as you must to have 5 children. And an arrogant person would never put himself or herself willingly to the inconvenience and infinite patience needed with a handicapped child.

Want visible evidence of his arrogance? Before his speech he came on stage applauding for himself- or to lengthen the audience applause. How about the background- his styrofoam columns?

Elitist he is, just like Kerry.
