There is deep truth in that sentence.

The Demos are avowed lefties, close to Commies when not actually so (well, not the ones that get elected or vote for FISA immunity, but a few of their “base”) so it’s hypocritical for them to enjoy any of the “good things” in life. According to Reich wingers of this type “liberals” should wear sack-cloth and eat Mickey D’s and be grateful for it. Otherwise they are uppity, latte drinkin’ “elitists” who might even speak Fuh-rench!

The Reich Wing crew might be crazy, but in their own twisted way, they are pretty consistent in what they believe (well, unless Larry Craig’s caught soliciting bathroom sex, or somethin’ like that).

26% still does.

By whom? McCain has been called a stupid, lying prick by me several times in the last ten minutes.

Only difference- I was telling the truth.

Oh, all right, go ahead.

elite: a. A group or class of persons or a member of such a group or class, enjoying superior intellectual, social, or economic status:
b. The best or most skilled members of a group

I haven’t read anything yet that speaks of snobbery on the Obamas’ parts.

elitist – someone who believes in rule by an elite group

That sounds more like what you have now.

Why is Obama “elitist” and Cindy McCain is not? Because Cindy McCain is in the stratosphere and Obama is not. Super-rich is not elitist in the wingnut book of stereotypes. Super-rich is fantasy and royalty — the sort that DESERVE to be president or king or whatever, especially when middle Amurka is still scared shitless of turrists and darkies and darkies whose names sound turrist. Elitist is smarty-pants school-learned; vulgar rich is what made Amurka great.

Great comment MzNicky, you nailed it !

(Goddammit – why in the fuck do I feel every fucking day now like I’m living in the meanest, dumbest America of Frank Zappa’s satirical fantasies?)

Weapons-grade pwnage!

I’m hoping Cindy McCain gets her next face-lift very soon … & that it leaves her looking like the infamous Cat-Lady. Their photo-ops are mighty surreal already – let ‘em go right on up to all-out David-Lynch-level wacko, sez me.

Yeah, noone’s more down-to-earth than John Sidney McCain III. Jesus, even his LIFE is a carbon-copy of Bush’s – silver-spoon from the cradle, does bloody little but keeps buying his way up the Brown-Nose Ladder, & out-uglies Bush by sucking up to the same crew that destroyed his rep in 2000 … & now he’s running against his OWN Senate Bills on taxes & immigration? That’s Strange You Can Believe In!

Why wouldn’t it surprise me if Cindy were into all that new age crapola? Somebody needs to look into it — this is the woman that could be running our country from 2010-2012. Whoever the hell Cindy McCain’s guru is may be more important than the VP (Mitt will be too busy doing the only two things he’s qualified to — wear sweaters and wave at things).

The only consolation I can see is that if it does go down that way, Sonic Youth might put out another _Daydream Nation_.

If it is really as bad as that, everyone is screwed. That is like saying that Romans should have gone to North Africa to escape the collapse.

Mz Nicky, I fall at your feet in awe. That was a superb summation of the complete bollocks that is this ‘elitist’ nonsense.

Let me worship you a second time.
