MAINSTREAM MEDIA HYPOCRITES! Why no video of Hillary's "RichGate" quote?
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=N64fDLplBfQ

Ferchrissakes, if you look at Obama's so-called "bitter" statement and how he is out of touch with the "common man", HOW THE FUCK can you let what Hillary Clinton said to Bill O'Reilly not tell you that she is about as far away from the "common man" with her statement when she giddily smiles and says "Rich people, God bless Us..."

TALK ABOUT ELITIST!!!

It's time to hammer this shit to the mainstream media so it is all over the airwaves this weekend.

Look at this EXACT quote:

O'REILLY: But I'm not a middle-class family. I'm a rich guy.

CLINTON: Well, and you know what? Rich people, God bless us. We deserve all the opportunities...

O'REILLY: All right.

CLINTON: ...to make sure our country and our blessings continue to the next generation.

4. Elites don't "tell" on other elites, though ...
Obama isn't part of the D.C. coterie enough to have their
"protection" -- they still think HE's fair game, but they
wouldn't DARE attack their pal, Her Smugness ...

6. that wasn't done to Wright
Nobody repeatedly played a cut off clip of him to make it appear he was saying the opposite of what he was actually saying.

This is just another Obama-fan lie.

7. K & R... sadly, the media will apply double standard & cover just long enough to call it "old news".
"We didn't report about it on the night it happened, so it's no longer relevant, no matter how upsetting it may be to some working class voters, who everyone knows are supposed to be for Hillary anyway!"

Carefully constructed Media definitions:

TV Journalist = Deserving Rich

Politician = Deserving Rich

Working Class = white (and thus, not offended)

Educated black man = Elite

Liberal ethnic groups = Elites

Working Class black man = Undeserving Poor

Working Class black woman = welfare cadillac

Working Class white woman = Middle class

Poor white man = NASCAR dad

Upper Class white woman = Security mom

8. And self-effacing Obamites will follow, because nothing wrong with Clinton being proud of her wealth
Edited on Thu May-01-08 07:40 PM by Leopolds Ghost
Her immense, ill-gotten wealth.

And she is just DYING to be able to "give back to the community" I notice.

But she has nothing but nice things to say about the rich, who, after all,
are enlightened about tax policy.

9. I sent a link to Ed Schultz today and didn't hear a peep on it!
I thought of anyone he would mention it! I agree totally - sounded to me like Bush's "have and the have-not" comment! And after all Bill & Hillary belong to the Bilderbergers! Why don't we ever hear about that either???

Take a look!

11. The context of Hillary's remark is even worse: she was arguing against a progressive taxation option
O'Reilly was trying to get her to commit to raising the "anti-middle class"
FICA tax cap, which causes the wealthy to be taxed differently than everyone else,
and she's against it.

Subject: BREAKING: Hillary Clinton proves she's an elitist on Bill O'Reilly's interview


Hello,

I'd like to know why you have not covered Hillary Clinton's OBVIOUS elitist comments on Bill O'Reillty's interview. Here is the content:

O'REILLY: But I'm not a middle-class family. I'm a rich guy.

CLINTON: Well, and you know what? Rich people, God bless us. We deserve all the opportunities...

O'REILLY: All right.

CLINTON: ...to make sure our country and our blessings continue to the next generation.

Transcript: http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,353759,00.html

Video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=N64fDLplBfQ9

Can we be consistent in covering the candidates or it is forbidden to be fair?

18. They also have failed to report her "screw em" comment
This was reported just after the bitter comment. No one has touched this.

Hillary Clinton On Southern Working Class Whites In 1995: "Screw 'Em" - Politics on The Huffington Post

Sam Stein



During the past week, Sen. Hillary Clinton has presented herself as a working class populist, the politician in touch with small town sentiments, compared to the elitism of her opponent, Sen. Barack Obama.

But a telling anecdote from her husband's administration shows Hillary Clinton's attitudes about the "lunch-bucket Democrats" are not exactly pristine.

In January 1995, as the Clintons were licking their wounds from the 1994 congressional elections, a debate emerged at a retreat at Camp David. Should the administration make overtures to working class white southerners who had all but forsaken the Democratic Party? The then-first lady took a less than inclusive approach.

"Screw 'em," she told her husband. "You don't owe them a thing, Bill. They're doing nothing for you; you don't have to do anything for them."

The statement -- which author Benjamin Barber witnessed and wrote about in his book, "The Truth of Power: Intellectual Affairs in the Clinton White House" -- was prompted by another speaker raising the difficulties of reaching "Reagan Democrats." It stands in stark contrast to the attitude the New York Democrat has recently taken on the campaign trail, in which she has presented herself as the one candidate who understands the working-class needs.
