I think your priorities are in the wrong place (none / 0) (#24)

You are say you understand that she's doing wrong,b ut post multiple diaries in which you also reinforce right wing talking points. The whole "elitism" shtick, and indeed, the "creative class" comments are standard ways of address progressives. How does this help? You did this to me yesterday when I disagreed with you. I really don't see how you think what you are doing in the way you are doing is going to help us win in the fall. What Obama is having to apologize for, by the way, is the way in which the story has been spun, not what he actually said. I think your priorities are in the wrong place.

you are wrong (5.00 / 3) (#37)

Obama's problem isn't how the story is spun - it's what he said.  Which essentially was that these small town folks have economic problems but are too ignorant to recognize the economy as the cause so they blame outsiders while clinging to guns and god.  And he was explaining this in san fran, like some anthropologist circa 1905 just come back from a trip to nepal.

But if you are so unhappy with clinton's actions, I can only assume you are emailing the obama campaign to complain that they are now calling her an elitist because she has money.  The same RW attack that was used on edwards, roosevelt, and kennedy.

Elitism isn't about personal wealth.  It's about an attitude.  There are millionaires that are the farthest thing from elitist and starving students who are the epitome of snobs.

Obama's attitude brought him this trouble - he has no one to blame but himself.

Sorry, Obama effed up politically. And if you can;t deal with that, you are no better than the rest of the creative class.

I thought you were.
