Reply #68: The OP's "toothless hillbilly" bit is utter horse-hockey. [View All]

Obama supporter or no Obama supporter, to take this to another level about how Obama is singling out supposed "toothless hillbillies" buys wholeheartedly into the McCain/Clinton spin and kicks it up a notch. Talk about taking up the Kool-Aid. How can Obama's remarks even remotely be considered "elitist" when he is addressing the fact that people feel disenfranchised because of what politicians like DLC champs Evan Bayh and Hillary Clinton have championed lo these many years -- NAFTA, the Iraq invasion (which Evan Bayh called a "noble idea," etc. -- nothing makes me shudder more than the thought of a Clinton/Bayh ticket).

This whole uproar remains utter nonsense. Two privileged, wealthy, multi-millionaire candidates calling Obama "elitist." It reads like something off of Second City. No thinking person should give McCain or Clinton's complete B.S. over this any credibility.
