Another slip of the tongue

The farmer has a good series of posts up.

Here he notices Jack Cafferty comes out and says the Unthinkable in deriding the latest McCain-Clinton slime:

...They call it the rust belt for a reason. The great jobs and the economic prosperity left that part of the country two or three decades ago. The people are frustrated. The people have no economic opportunity. What happens to folks like that in the Middle East, you ask? Well, take a look. They go to places like al Qaeda training camps. I mean there's nothing new here.

And what Barack Obama was suggesting is not that the people of Pennsylvania are to blame for any of it. It's that the jerks in Washington, D.C. , as represented by the 10 years of the Bushes and the Clintons and the McCains, who have lied to and misled these people for all of this time while they shipped the jobs overseas and signed phony trade deals like NAFTA, are to blame for the deteriorating economic conditions among America's middle class. I mean I'm a college dropout and I can read the damn thing and figure it out...


Obama has a hard fight ahead. For people, for self-proclaimed Democrats to call him elitist simply because he points out the elitism that's manipulated working class whites against working class blacks for the last century is rank hypocrisy.

You could see the neocon advice of Rove for the McCain camp to do it.

For the Clinton camp? Well, they're revealed as a pack of slavering neoliberals of the Bobbitt school. DINOcrats. Again.
