Republicans - The Most Condescending Elitists The Country Has Ever Known
By ddayblog

..........

The Republican Party has nothing but contempt for their voters, and in the modern age, they always have. They've been targeting "the wackos" openly for many years now. If Obama did anything wrong is was not to read this memo aloud as proof of what he was expressing. Presidents should resist the opportunity to play pundit, but Obama was asked a pundit-like question in a private setting, and he responded with a basic truth.

I'm not a politician, so maybe I can express it a bit more freely. Republicans think you're stupid. They treat you like suckers and distract you with wedge issues that have no material effect on your lives while they bleed you dry economically and engage in endless war and torture in your name. They have no experience with or even interest in the everyday lives of Americans. They get their dander up and scream "class warfare" any time they're challenged on any of this because they don't want anybody peeking behind the curtain and discovering the shadow war on the middle class.

But the truth is that most folks have already figured it out. We have a President hated by almost everybody and a general sense that the country has gone off the rails. We're not idiots and we're going to place the blame squarely where it belongs, media hypemeisters and GOP spinmeisters be damned.

What's most newsworthy about that Scanlon quote, by the way, is that it came out in a hearing investigated by the Senate Indian Affairs Committee, which was then chaired by... John McCain. It should also interest you that McCain limited the scope of his investigation and failed to investigate any members of Congress implicated in the scandal, and indeed never got to the bottom of things. He thinks you're stupid, too.

1. This is why painting Obama as "elitist" is so absurd.

SHe's going to lose this one.
