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.

If there is anyone that knows about narcissism, it's Bill Maher and his buddy Barrack "The Earth begins to heal" Obama.

Piper Palin is smarter than Obama.

New Rule: The MSM stops taking sides and actually reports news instead of creating it, as well as reviewing and critiquing all candidate’s equally and not play favorites.

They always post their degrees, but let's get a good look at the SATS. We will decide who is smartest and who got into Harvard law with the help of radical friends grooming him for the future.

If Obama’s so smart, how come he smokes dope?

(Nobody really believes he hasn’t smoked dope since college.)

Okay. I won’t.

“Roar, Lion, Roar
“And wake the echoes of the Hudson Valley,
“Fight on to vict’ry ever more
“While the sons of Knickerbocker rally ‘round
“Columbia! Columbia!
“Shouting her name forever!
“Roar, Lion, Roar
“And wake the echoes of the Hudson shore!”

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

Bill Maher doesn't know what any of those things are. He is just addicted to *hores wishing he was Hugh Hefner (never going to happen).

It is kinda funny in life that those who least earn something tend to lord it over other more than those who do earn it.

Those that act most elite are not; the truly elite will humbly deny it.

“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”

This is how the Democrats look at honest, hard working Americans. Only those with Harvard Degrees, elitist connections and political correctness are allowed to govern.

Yeah, he’s so smart we aren’t allowed to see his Columbia grades.

What was his SAT Verbal and Math score?

His Campaign won't release them.

What was his LSAT score?

His Campaign won't release those either.

I would also like to know the scores of Michelle Obama.

I believe the fear is that the truth will be revealed that both of these individuals got into schools they should not have because of Affirmative Action.

I was discussing the election with my son.

We were talking about the use of ‘articulate’, and ‘intellectual’.

My son said It’s totally racist when they say that. And they don’t even know it. What are they trying to say?

“Oh my gosh, look what we got here. A negro who can talk, and went to college. Imagine that. Who’da thought?”


As always, this is said in complete honesty, and not intended to be an insult to any of my FRiends, or any readers.

Pretty much the definition of an elitist.

I wouldn’t want Bill Maher’s support since he has backed a loser so many times.

******

His Irish Catholic father, William, was a news editor for NBC News

While attending Cornell University, Bill Maher decided to try stand-up comedy

Supported Ralph Nader during the 2000 presidential election.

Was a major supporter of Democratic presidential candidate John Kerry during the 2004 presidential election.

******

Bill Maher: “I hate religion. I think it’s a neurological disorder. There’s no greater model, in my view, than Jesus Christ.”

I can't remember when I last read something that so REEKS of desperation. He's clearly saying "nanananana" while holding his hands over his ears and trying not to hear the voters. And calling Gov. Palin "Governor Yup Yup" isn't going to endear the looney dems to anyone who's undecided.

I wasn't sure at first, but now I think the Republicans have made a wise decision to run against the media, as well as the Obambi, this election.

So Bill must be a big Clarence Thomas fan too, huh?

Here it is, just in case /S!

Obama is smart? Prove it. Pick the standard. All I’ve seen thus far is charm and an incredibly low standard because he is black. If he were white, he would be John Edwards (who nobody calls brilliant)

This reminds me of that old saying:

You can certainly tell a Harvard man, but you can’t tell him much.
