Equal Opportunity Condescension

Posted by: Carol Platt Liebau at 9:59 PM

In the midst of a vulgar tirade, Jesse Jackson accused Barack Obama of "talking down to black people."

Come off it.

Heck, as even Democrats have said, Barack talks down to (or about) lots of people of all races on a regular basis. This of course includes those "bitter" people in Pennsylvania and any American who isn't bilingual.

Let's hope it will reassure Jesse Jackson to know that Barack's condescension is absolutely color-blind.

Only the Beginning of Our End
I have posted here before about the effects of an Obama presidency -- I was labeled as a racist on TH for making remarks that I believe to this day are appropos and which should have sent out a warning that Obama is not who he seems to be -- Jackson, Sharpton and all the other civil rights activists will not be satisified or placated or proud seeing Obama in the white house should he win the election -- Each one of them is saying out loud at every opportunity they want more -- Obama gives a good speech and is a great salesman for the "dreams of our fathers" -- Perhaps he is just a front man with no follow through -- God help us all --

Yup, Both Obamas Talk Down...
...to us all, not just blacks. Can you imagine if they win. Four or maybe eight years of their finger-wagging. Maybe it wouldn't be so bad if they were not half our age (more or less.) Their youthful hubris is insufferable. I'm with Jackson on this one.

"Now understand this."
Sen. Obama doesn't 'talk down.' He can scarcely speak up. Anyone paying attention to his lack of sophistication that evidences when he speaks without the prepared remark on the dais. The hesitant, stammering 'audacity' should disabuse anyone from the notion that this Senator has a lightness of step and sure intellectual hand. He's scared. He has all the symptoms of a fellow in beyond his confidence level. He's got the 2nd stringer to him. The man that would be comfortable in a classroom where he could be prepared when he spoke and could invoke cloture if any rapacious student sought to take his mojo away. Sen. Obama wouldn't talk down to anyone. It's not within his capacity.

Modus operandi...
...Talking down to people is what neo kommies do best. B. Hussein "Osama" (a moniker bestowed by an eloquent old-school commie democrat, Ted Kennedy) Obama. Doesn't the same condescension label apply to Hillary, John F...ing Kerry, GlobAl Warming Gore - heck even whitey, "hymietown" haters like Jesse and scandal-faker Al talk down to us? Maybe some neo kommies in the rank and file will wise up and actually pay attention for a real "change" of heart and mind.
