Never Forget

Barack Obama on middle America:
So it’s not surprising then that they get bitter, they cling to guns or religion or antipathy to people who aren’t like them or anti-immigrant sentiment or anti-trade sentiment as a way to explain their frustrations.
Nothing like a little bigotry to kick off campaign season.
It’s been a good stretch for Democrat bigotry; it kicked off with Saint Paul City Council prez Dave Thune worrying in public that Republican delegates would puke all over Saint Paul if the bars stayed open (and “clarifying” that while he wasn’t trying to insult lobbyists, Republicans were a bunch of warmongers).
Back in ’04, the Dems were good enough to keep the most preening pieces of bigotry until after the campaign.
Ain’t technology grand?

Yep, that’s a pretty big foot in mouth moment.

Barak Obama: One of the few people in America that can make McCain look good.
What a maroon.

Elitism, marxism…he’s just got it all, doesn’t he?

Reading some of the comments, I was impressed with the number of clickable options you had to respond to them. Unfortunately, since I did actually read some of the comments, the one I really wanted to see was missing: “Flag as retarded”. 😉

Hmm, stereotyping “folks” not from the coastal big cities as gun totin’, immigrant hatin’, no skillz havin’ Jeeebus freaks? I’m fairly certain that far to frequent SitD commenter ‘Angryclown’ has joined Obama’s advisory staff replacing Rev. Wright in the Resident Bigot Chair. I’d be absolutely certain if Barry had thrown in an Applebee’s reference.

Suffice to say that twenty years sitting in a pew, listening to a racist spew, has had an impact.

This would be a good time to revisit what the Washington Post thinks about traditional Chrsitians:
“Unintelligent and easily lead”
Kermit, not only that, but O’bama is making the Clintons look like Kissenger at times.

Here’s media watch’s take on Weisskopf’s bigotry:
Weisskopf has a Baccalaureate from George Washington University, a Master of Fine arts from John Hopkins, and has received numerous awards for excellence in journalism. Doesn’t mean he’s not a bigot.

The Wash Post even referenced something themselves (not good damage control there)…that the writer showed his bigotry and ingnorance towards orthodox Christians, but so did every level of editor that reviewed this before printing. The line didn’t stand out as unreasonable to one person at the Washington Post.

“Suffice to say that twenty years sitting in a pew, listening to a racist spew, has had an impact.”
Yes apparently Obama seems to be under the impression that listening to a racist pastor blame everything that’s wrong in your life and the lives of people who share your skin color is the fault of your government or people with a different skin color is typical of what EVERYONE’s church is like.

[…] One of the anti-gun left’s favorite conceits is that owning a guns is a sign of anger, paranoia, “compensation” – really, everything that Obama’s “Crackerquiddick” jape was a milder version of. Hollywood has reinforced this idea for decades – at least as far as law-abiding civilians are concerned (gang-bangers, Jodie Foster, action-adventure heroes and rogue-cops-who-push-the-envelope while being dogged by the ineluctible forces of corruption and institutional apathy get a pass, of course).
