Here's a good one for you, with a source, not like it matters

Even though it happened (tail end of video on that one), I guess it's fine to just hope it's made up.

A presidential candidate lied on the campaign trail? Holy ****, breaking news here Brizz. This happens so often it's a dead-horse joke, Obama is no different. I've said as much on several occasions. He's a clod.

And while "bitter people clinging to their guns and religion" was a pretty hard rip, I don't equate

*people being bitter over the government's failure to help their communities explains things better than just calling them racists

with

*people hate the country or are unpatriotic or are not real americans because they don't vote for your party. Dissenters or protesters should worship us for fighting a war -- which has nothing to do with domestic free speech rights -- so that they have the right to protest that we give to them.

For reference, full text of his statement minus some irrelevant self-advertisement bits was:

Because everybody just ascribes it to ‘white working-class don’t wanna work — don’t wanna vote for the black guy.’ That’s…there were intimations of that in an article in the Sunday New York Times today – kind of implies that it’s sort of a race thing.

Here’s how it is: in a lot of these communities in big industrial states like Ohio and Pennsylvania, people have been beaten down so long, and they feel so betrayed by government, and when they hear a pitch that is premised on not being cynical about government, then a part of them just doesn’t buy it. And when it’s delivered by — it’s true that when it’s delivered by a 46-year-old black man named Barack Obama (laugher), then that adds another layer of skepticism (laughter).

But — so the questions you’re most likely to get about me, ‘Well, what is this guy going to do for me? What’s the concrete thing?’ <snip>Talking points about his tax cut for 95% spiel<snip>

But the truth is, is that, our challenge is to get people persuaded that we can make progress when there’s not evidence of that in their daily lives. You go into some of these small towns in Pennsylvania, and like a lot of small towns in the Midwest, the jobs have been gone now for 25 years and nothing’s replaced them. And they fell through the Clinton administration, and the Bush administration, and each successive administration has said that somehow these communities are gonna regenerate and they have not. 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.

Paraphrased: We're going to have to work hard in areas where people are cynical about government. I think people are misunderstanding when they say it's a race thing and that these people just don't want to vote for the black guy. These people's communities have been hit hard, the government has lied to them and not helped them and -- while me being black does add a layer to it for some people -- when they hear somebody preaching a government solution, they don't buy it. Our challenge is to prove that our methods help in their everyday lives, which they haven't seen until now. They've gotten bitter and cling to guns and religion, etc.

The problem kaiser is he is generalizing and doing a bad job of it. You could say he is pretty much missing what is really going on and just explaining it with his personal views. Oh and I love how the snip is a lie.

Talking points, spiel...

What about in a race? Could you beat the president?
I betcha I'd have more endurance. My one claim to fame in my own little internal running circle is a sub-four marathon. It wasn't necessarily a good running time, but it proves I have the endurance within me to at least gut it out and that is something. If you ever talk to my old coaches, they'd tell you, too. What I lacked in physical strength or skill I made up for in determination and endurance. So if it were a long race that required a lot of endurance, I'd win.

haha, well..

If you think some of his practices are good for america then that is your view. If you think none of his views/actions are socialist or communist then so be it. Regardless some of them are and that isn't propaganda, but fact. I'm not sitting here saying he is socialist or communist, but some his views/actions fit. I also won't sit here and pretend that people don't abuse the word communist and socialist because allot of people on the right do.

I would only vote for Palin for president if her poisoned womb gives birth to another downs baby that she can use in the 2012 election to parade around for attention and sympathy like she does with her current downs baby.

In my case it has absolutely nothing to do with Misogyny. I wouldn't hesitate to vote for H.Clinton.

But Palin... Palin is the embodiment of everything I hate about far right republicans/conservatives. Her brain-dead Bush/Beck/Hannity/Coultrer/Rush-like bible-thumping / war-mongering / Real-America™ drives me nuts. It has nothing to do with her sex...You betcha!

I wasn't hoping it was made up, I knew it was real. I was just pointing out the futility of saying something without any references for supporting AND THEN asking for cited references to Obama doing the same thing. Your comparison of points is a nice strawman, since it attempts to say one form of demenaing condescension is "better than" another.

A presidential candidate lied on the campaign trail? Holy ****, breaking news here Brizz. This happens so often it's a dead-horse joke, Obama is no different. I've said as much on several occasions. He's a clod.

Okay, so it doesn't bother you then

And while "bitter people clinging to their guns and religion" was a pretty hard rip, I don't equate

I do, because it's the same form of condescending, demeaning talk regardless of who it's about or what was said. Plus, you missed the most important excerpt of Obama's speech completely:

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.

Just like during the campaign, he made this a matter of race (or even just "us vs. them" mentality) which is just as bad as what Palin said, really. It doesn't matter who he was talking to or what the context is, it's not a good thing to make an assumption about a group of people, apply it generally to that group of people, and then publicly state that assumption. We have a word for that, you know.

Not everyone reacts to responsibility in the same way. Oh and nice name-calling. Did I strike a nerve? I see the people who "got" my statement knew exactly what I was talking about.

Tool is just jealous because Sarah Palin doesn't lock the baby in the basement like his mom did to him for looking like a retard.

Not only do you display a lack of knowledge of what socialism is, nor a historical idea of how these men used it, but you have also failed to understand that nearly every single European country is far more socialized than even the most ambitious social reform in the US.

But what do I know, I don't have children...

Specifics?

[Crotale]

Who cares if she makes a run for the WH in 2012? Obama has it locked in unless either 1)he makes a royal flub along the way or 2)we get a Reaganesque front runner in the GOP, neither of which is likely. And Palin is no Reagan, and I'm not referencing her lack of a lizard neck.
