OBAMA WOOS GUN-TOTING GOD NUTS

April 16, 2008



The Democrats' "Fake-Out America" adviser, Berkeley linguistics professor
George Lakoff, must be beside himself. Despite Lakoff's years spent training
Democrats to "frame" their language to stop scaring Americans, B. Hussein
Obama was caught on tape speaking candidly to other liberals in San Francisco
last week.


One minute Obama was bowling in Pennsylvania with nice, ordinary people
wearing "Beer Hunter" T-shirts, and the next thing you know, he was issuing a
report on the psychological traits of normal Americans to rich liberals in
San Francisco.


Obama informed the San Francisco plutocrats that these crazy working-class
people are so bitter, they actually believe in God! And not just the 12-step
meeting, higher power, "as you conceive him or her to be" kind of God. The
regular, old-fashioned, almighty sort of "God."


As Obama put it: "(T)hey get bitter, they cling to guns or religion or
antipathy to people who aren't like them or anti-immigrant sentiment or
anti-trade sentiment as a way to explain their frustrations."


The rich liberals must have nearly fainted at the revelation that the
denizens of small towns in Pennsylvania have absolutely no concern for the
rich's ability to acquire servants from Mexico at a reasonable price.


We don't know much about Obama's audience, other than that four fundraisers
were held on April 6 at the homes of San Francisco's rich and mighty, such as
Alex Mehran, an Iranian who went into daddy's business and married an IBM
heiress, and Gordon Getty, heir to the Getty Oil fortune.


It is not known whether any of Getty's three illegitimate children attended
the Obama fundraiser -- which turned out to be more of a McCain fundraiser --
but photos from the event indicate that there were a fair number of armed
(and presumably bitter) policemen providing security for the billionaire's
soiree.


In 1967, Gordon sued his own father to get his hands on money from the family
trust -- and lost. So Gordon Getty knows from bitter. It's a wonder he hasn't
turned to guns, or even to immigrant-bashing. God knows (whoever he is) there
are enough of them working on his home.


These are the sort of well-adjusted individuals to whom Obama is offering
psychological profiles of normal Americans, including their bizarre theories
about how jobs being sent to foreign countries and illegal-alien labor
undercutting American workers might have something to do with their own
economic misfortunes.


It's going to take a lot of "framing" for Democrats to recast Obama's
explanation to San Francisco cafe society that gun ownership and a belief in
God are the byproducts of a psychological disorder brought on by economic
hardship.


It is an article of faith with the Democrats that they must fool Americans by
simulating agreement with normal people. The winner of the Democratic primary
is always the candidate who does the best impersonation of an American.


But then, after all their hard work making believe they're into NASCAR and
God, some Democrat invariably slips and lets us know it's all a big fake-out.

They're like a gay guy trying to act straight who accidentally refers to Brad
Pitt as "yummy!"


The Democrats' last phony American (or perhaps I should say "faux American")
was John Kerry, who famously said that if "you study hard and you do your
homework, and you make an effort to be smart, you can do well. If you don't,
you get stuck in Iraq."


Kerry claimed this was not an accurate reflection of his feelings about the
troops, despite a four-decade record of contempt for them, including accusing
American troops of being baby-killers during the Vietnam War.


Rather, he said, it was a "botched joke." (In Kerry's defense, he was the
opening act for Randi Rhodes' stand-up comedy show at the time.) But as with
his military records, Kerry refused to allow his joke-writer to release any
of the jokes cut from that speech.


In case there was any confusion, other Democrats immediately clarified their
position by going on television and saying -- as Rep. Charlie Rangel did --
that our troops are people who don't have the option of having "a decent
career."


These Democrats can't even pull off attending a NASCAR race without
embarrassing themselves. In August 2004, Kerry exclaimed: "Who among us does
not love NASCAR". And then, about six months ago, Democratic congressional
staffers to Rep. Bennie Thompson, D-Miss., sent out a memo urging aides going
to NASCAR races to get inoculated before attending.


Obama had been so careful until now, "framing" his message as "change" --
rather than partial birth abortion, driver's licenses for illegal aliens, tax
hikes, socialized medicine and abandoning mandatory minimum prison sentences
for federal crimes.


His message is "change" -- not that his wife has not been proud to be an
American for most of her life.


He is for "change" -- and don't mind the crazy racist loon who has been
Obama's spiritual mentor for two decades.


One can only hope that Obama got his shots before bowling in Altoona, Pa.
