Clinton attacks Obama again: says he was "kind of elitist."

http://blogs.abcnews.com/politicalradar/2008/04/clinton-slams-o.html

<snip>

Speaking about how Americans value their Second Amendment rights and enjoy hunting prompted Clinton to tell a story about her own hunting experience.

"You know my dad took me out behind the cottage my grandfather built on a little lake called Lake Winola outside of Scranton and taught me how to shoot when I was a little girl," she said. "You know some people have continued to teach their children and their grandchildren. It's part of culture, it's part of a way of life. People enjoy hunting and shooting because it's part of who they are. not because they are bitter"

Clinton also repeated some of her earlier lines, saying that she thought Obama's was "kind of elitist." Clinton repeated lines about faith -- and the way she views faith playing a role in society.

"My faith is the faith of my parents and my grandparents," she said. "It's a fundamental expression of who we are and what we believe in most profoundly and I disagree with Sen. Obama's assertion that people in our country cling to guns and have certain attitudes about immigration and trade simply out of frustration."

3. It was a nice day to be out hunting when suddenly we were ambushed
by sniper ducks! It was a life and death situation that has us ducking and running for our lives toward the cars!

4. And then she slept on a pile of money.
About $109 million or so, before taxes.

5. if "bitter" was a bad word, "elitist" is worse
elite / elitist is an RNC code word. Still, this is POLITICS - people need to GET OVER IT

9. Talk about somebody out of touch with the rest of the country
don't people like HRC watch local news? Good gravy, theres a child molester behind every shrub, theres terrorists in the malls carrying school building plans, just the TV ads for home alarm systems play the fear card, "honey this is a wonderful home we just moved into" (a crash in another room then the alarm goes off in the home ) hubby runs to the stairs see's a figure go running out the door then runs back to the wife, the phone rings, "ma'am this is your brinks home services is everything alright"? now most americans know if you hear a crash in another room the first thing you do is grab your AK-47 then head to the stairs. Faith is the last resort for those to afraid to live life with the risks life has. We went safer cars, protection from "bad" people, uncle sam please spy on my neighbor because he scares me because he don't go to my church and those brown people sneaking across the border must be dangerous or elese they wouldn't be sneaking into the country. People wake up, elitists don't worry about these things, thats why they put people in power to watch the rest of us, then run off to other countries where they can have abortions, run naked on the beaches and have sex with under age people in countries that have no consent laws.

Btw, think about it, we have had 8 years with the town clown, isn't it time we got someone that is elite, the Tiger Woods of politics or do we went another town drunk running things. Elite, the best of the best, stop using the town drunks definition of the word. Btw, I am neither for BHO or HRC, I'm just voting for whoever the dems run period, I am sick of republican rule, thats the enemy, not us.

10. Yup ol' Hillary is out there with her rifle and boots and
hunting for her dinner, right. God gag me. And she accuses Obama of being elite? Oh my God. $109 million. Uh huh.

Is it possible for her to be sincere about ANYTHING?

11. And if she could do math, he would be busily setting his fall campaign in motion
gathering smart people together to hone his Anti-Mccain message..and resting up...

but instead, he's still on the Hillary-Misery Tour..:grr:
