Hate speech by any other name

[JerseyGator01]

The double standard continues with the media treatment of hate speech. Clinton gives an off the cuff version of Obama's "clinging to guns and religion" comment. And these people are supposed to be intellectuals? Wow, just wow.

From the link:

But he said that he understands the culture that permeates a state like Arkansas — where guns are a longstanding part of local culture.

“A lot of these people … all they’ve got is their hunting and their fishing,” he told the Democratic financiers. “Or they’re living in a place where they don’t have much police presence. Or they’ve been listening to this stuff for so long that they believe it all.”

Clinton closed his remarks with a warning to big Democratic donors that ultimately many Democratic lawmakers will be defeated if they choose to stand with the president.

“Do not be self-congratulatory about how brave you for being for this” gun control push, he said. “The only brave people are the people who are going to lose their jobs if they vote with you.”

Well said. This Ivy League educated elitist considers himself far superior to the good people of Arkansas who were taken in by this accomplished liar.

You can almost hear Obama's tone in these words if you think back when he voice his opinion about the good people of Pennsylvania.

I wonder how brave Clinton will be if be ever ventures again into the back woods of Arkansas?
