Seizing Moment, Hillary Totes Bible to Gun Range
[Read the article: Obama and the white working class]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]by Scott Ott for ScrappleFace
(2008-04-13) — Sensing an opportunity to portray Sen. Barack Obama as elitist and out of touch after his remarks about “bitter” rural Americans who cling to guns, God and xenophobia, Sen. Hillary Clinton stopped after church today at an indoor gun range, where she fired roughly 300 rounds through a handgun she said she carries concealed everywhere she goes.
Her lower lip bulging from a dip of Skoal, Sen. Clinton put her Bible in her handbag, and drew out her own Para Ordnance Warthog .45 caliber pistol.
As reporters looked on, the Democrat presidential candidate emptied one 10-round magazine after another, with fair accuracy, at a human silhouette target.
“Small town folk like us,” said Sen. Clinton, “don’t cling to God or guns because we’re bitter about the economy, as my opponent suggests. We believe in God because he’s real, and we keep and bear arms as the best insurance against tyrants who would strip our freedoms if they didn’t fear our collective power.”
As for the economy, the candidate said, small-town people haven’t been sitting on their hands since the steel and textile mills closed 25 years ago.
“We’re Americans,” she said, “We’re not a bunch of cry babies. Things change. We deal with it. We suck it up, learn a new skill, and do something else to earn the money we need to buy stuff, you know, like Bibles and bullets.”

[Read more letters about this article: Here]Your characterization of these gentlemen as losers is completely off the mark. They may puncture egos and myths every chance they get and offend people who are hoisted by their own petard. But losers they are not. They are the most loving and caring people who consistently root for the have-nots and the brave soldiers in Iraq who are fighting an illegal war. From the sounds of your posts, you and Cythera sound alarmingly alike.

Bill Clinton Flashback: "All These Economically Insecure White People...Are Scared To Death"

As the rumination continues over Barack Obama's comments about economically-depressed small town voters, statements made by Bill Clinton on the same topic -- uttered while he was running for president in 1991 -- have now surfaced.
"The reason (George H. W. Bush's tactic) works so well now is that you have all these economically insecure white people who are scared to death," Clinton was quoted saying by the Los Angeles Times in September 1991.
Let's see the condescending Hillarobots spin this one.

[Read more letters about this article: Here]MADAMFAUNTLEROY, nice to see you back, envy your traipse through the mediterranean. one point of correction, Joycelyn Elders has a hard name to spell but as she is one of my (minor) heroes, i like to see it spelled correctly. the reason she was fired? she said, "no one got AIDS from masturbating". a TRUTH (similar to (part) of what i love in Obama).
Man, I am beatin' meself silly for that e-addition. Clinton is a dick, more of a dick than Dick Morris. Hillary keeps touting about the Children's Defense Fund and Marian and Peter Edelman keep supporting Obama. Hillary has fallen so low that even the ground floor looks like a skyscraper.
Since when did you become eyerish? Aren't you the jew who don't kneel in a pew? BTW did you read that front page LA Times article about Obama attending an Edward Said lecture 10 years ago? Sugar, you should be beside yourself that your candidate Obama is actually a christian-muslim for even listening to Said, that dogged Palestinian deconstructor.
Hope you have behaved badly while I was away.
