You couldn’t make all this up…
Let me get this straight: Populist and racial healer Barack Obama, in impromptu remarks to zillionaires in Marin County, “explains” to them the rural sociology of Middle America. In anthropological fashion, he warns of their peculiar customs, so, that armed with such brilliant Obamian insight, his campaign workers can approach and win over the natives, who cling to guns, go to church, hate (“antipathy”) those who seem different, and scapegoat the other (“anti-immigrant” and “anti-trade”). And all of this is published on the pro-Obama Huffington Post—perhaps because its radically egalitarian editor, Arianna Huffington, is off on David Geffen’s 454-foot mega-yacht, cruising the shores of Tahiti.
At some point is there any sane Democratic strategist left, who sees that populist rhetoric and “two Americas” lingo do not go well with the several Kerry mansions, the Edwards’ 30,000 sq. ft. domicile, the carbon-consuming Gore spread, the $109 million Clinton tax returns, those burdensome Michelle Obama Ivy-League student loans to be repaid, and Marin County sociology lessons?
