"Condescension". That's even richer.

It is sort of mean-spirited to put down community organizers. Community organizers don't work in the field because they want to be powerful, they do it because they want to help. It's like making fun of someone for doing community service....

Except Nobama.

I listened to it. I mean I realize it was a joke and I didn't take the comment too seriously, but to me, and everyone has their impressions, it did come across as a little mean-spirited.

The only thing i can say is wow, this has got to be a big joke. Some nobody from Alaska with 340 kids and 18 months as governer is going to be a John McCain heart-attack away from the red button.... just no.

I understand.

Fuck you was the subtext.

Damn, goober! Finally, something we can agree on.

Well played.

Nobody likes a new person who comes in and belittles you.

She was popular with her base, but that's because they don't share the problems that a lot of average people have. That's why she didn't utter a word about the economy.

People have to actually like you first before you berate them sarcasm and smugness.

It's all a great big joke, I agree. And many conservatives, like Nazis, fall right in line with it. "We're average people! Todd is snow machine champ! 5 KIDS!".

They like to act so tough but their whole set up on bamboozling regular folks is by making you "feel" for them. Republicans are hijacked by sentimentality and not a trace of actual strategy.

And they want regular people to believe that it's somehow Democrats who are shipping all their jobs overseas and stuff.

I'd love to say Americans are smarter than that, but since the GOP crowd is a split between Wall Street and Hee Haw, I'd never accuse that room of being too quick.

What a sick joke, that the very people who are selling the country to the highest bidder are sharing the room with the very people whose jobs are being shipped elsewhere. Only a cult would bring those two together in unison like that.

I smell fear. It's thick.

Yes sir. The fear is thick tonight.

I smell fear as well.

Any party that can't even talk about the economy is obviously afraid of being hammered on it.

[Emphasis mine] "Nazis", now.

Not really. I think the speech had some good points, and some really bad points. Neutral effect.

I still think she's a trainwreck.
