Iranian immigrant is not ‘bitter’

San Francisco's Billionaires Row -- and the Golden Gate Bridge is just out of the frame to the left.

During his ‘Billionaires Row‘ fund-raiser with wealthy San Francisco liberals on April 6, 2008, Barack Obama said the following:

“You go into these small towns in Pennsylvania and, like a lot of small towns in the Midwest, the jobs have been gone now for 25 years and nothing’s replaced them,” Obama said. “And they fell through the Clinton Administration, and the Bush Administration, and each successive administration has said that somehow these communities are gonna regenerate and they have not. And it’s not surprising then they 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.”

Friday night, Mark Levin spoke with a caller named Mohamed who fled Iran six years ago and is not bitter about being here:

While milk and honey might not flow from gold-plated taps in many houses other then those up on Snob Hill, we all get to wake up every day in America.

    The Mullahs in Iran have killed millions, in the war between Iran ans Iraq 8 million lost their lives. Hangings in Iran are done daily without any legal justice. Its about the Us move to support a regime change in Tehran. The screams are getting louder and louder after the hangings.

    The more I listen to screwballs like Obama, Clinton and Carter the more readily apparent it becomes that they posses a rather generous amount of pseudo intelligence in association with an immeasurable amount of plain out-of-touch, stigmatizing stupidity. It is unimaginable to hear anything like the flabbergasting statements that these people say. The damage that Carter did in one term we are still dealing with today. Americans die because of Iran. Who set them up to kill us in the first place?

    I have no doubt that if Obama should ever win the presidency (even if he doesn’t) he will be no different from the rest of the democrat presidents, VP’s and Wanabes that can never stop saying and doing the dumbest and most outrageous things in stark contrast to what is in the best interest for America and her citizens. Here is a man that finds his own pastor’s hot racist and anti-American rhetoric forgivable while simultaneously profiling Middle American churchgoers and Second Amendment enthusiasts as distasteful and biased; and he is so stupid as to tell them that while seeking their votes. Does he expect them to have an epiphany and be shamed into voting for him?

    No republican could survive the MSM scrutiny if they spent a week, as a guest, going to the wrong Country Club yet alone 20 years in a Church dominated by the themes of a liberation theology minister that stresses racism, anti-Semitism, anti-capitalism, hate America, embrace blame and confer victim hood while expounding leftist Marist philosophical solutions for all problems, real and imagined. What does he see that is good about America? The fact that he will be a Presidential candidate, that if elected, could right America’s many wrongs with a good dose of imposed, heavy handed socialism through more entitlements funded by even more aggressive confiscatory taxes while shrinking the military and adopting a blame American first policy that makes victims out of our hate America enemies. This guy is the second coming of Carter and the more I listen the more I tend to worry that the dumbest President that I can remember would actually be surpassed by someone even dumber.

    It is mind-boggling to see how this phony is getting a free-ride, but then he is a product of the media and liberal image-makers. And some people are actually falling for this putz. Very scary, but then consider the sources. The media would love nothing better than this disaster to become president. Would make for lots of news – bad news of course – our misery would be their windfall. It shows that we must get, not just the presidency, but the Congress back at all costs. This is just going from bad to worse.

    I heard Mark today reading an article about Obama’s elitism. One of the points made was Obama’s “questionable patriotism”? I don’t think Obama’s patriotism is questionable or uncertain at all. Why does everyone dance around this issue? That has been our (Conservatives) problem all along, especially over the last 4 years. We simply don’t call the Libs on who they really are. The Republican Leadership rolls over and plays dead!

    “The War is Lost”! “The Troop surge has failed.” “General Betray us!” “Willing suspension of disbelief.” Leaking of secret document after secret document to the New York Slimes without anyone getting investigated or charged while Scooter Libby is found guilty of perjury in a case of “outing” an agent that was neither an undercover agent nor “outed”!

    A Presidential candidate that refuses to wear an American Flag pin on his lapel. A flag that represents the People of the United States. A flag that represents the heroic effort of countless Soldiers and Marines that gave their lives to take hill after hill away from our enemies so that they could raise that flag!

    Obama is NOT a patriot! He does not show patriotism. Patriotism is a deep respect and love of one’s country. Is this what we see from Obama and his wife? Is this what we see from the people he freely chooses to associate with?
    As for the Dems in Congress, are they “Anti-American”? Yes, they are. They talk the country down every chance they get. “The economy is in recession.” We get Herbert Hoover’s name mentioned (the democrat’s poster boy for the Fat Cat Republican oblivious to the plight of the poor during the depression). Every single strategic step that needs to be taken to help America is blocked. No new drilling, no new refineries. Negative talk 24/7/365. Hate America, Hate America. They delight in bad news, more jobs lost, or more deaths in Iraq. And they have the audacity to say their negative America bashing is “patriotism”! It’s time to stop being wimps! Call these people what they really are, “Traitors”.
