"Bitter? Are you kidding"

[noel711]

From the PHilly Daily News...

A working class new tabloid, and 'right on'

There's also a nice li'l poll to DU :

" As a native-born, small-town Pennsylvanian, a son of native-born, small-town Pennsylvania parents - one from the coal region, one from Lancaster County - let me assure you that the so-called offensive, condescending things Barack Obama said about the people I come from are basically right on target.

"Bitter" perhaps best describes my late mother, an angry Irish Catholic who absolutely clung to her religion.

Dad, also a journalist, wasn't really bitter as far as I know, but he sure liked to hunt.

So, despite carping from Hillary Clinton and annoying yapping from her surrogates (really, it's like turning on the lights at night in a puppy farm), I take no offense.

What's offensive to me is suggesting that small-town, working-class, gun-toting and/or religious Pennsylvanians are somehow injured by a politician's words.

Are you kidding me?...."

1. turning on the lights at night in a puppy farm

:rofl: Great line.

And like puppies, they don't know when to stop yapping.

What's interesting is this isn't new. There were members of my family who were just like this back in the 60s. Hillary talks like she's never heard of such a thing. Talk about being out of touch.
