(PHILADELPHIA) Philadelphia Mayor Michael Nutter boiled over with contempt, directed at Republicans, as he introduced Sen. Joe Biden in at the Ironworkers Union Local 401 Hall today in Pennsylvania.
"I was astounded, astounded at what I saw at the Repulsive National Convention on Wednesday night, at the RNC between Giuliani and Governor Palin,” said the mayor.
“Insults have now replaced ideas. Invective has now replaced innovation. Personal attacks have now replaced policy addresses. I have never seen such a negative climate in this country as we saw Wednesday night. And then the other guy had the audacity last night to start talking about partisanship and people working together. We're going to bring folks together. Not one idea, not one proposal. Not anything that effects anybody in this room! Not a word! Not a word!”
Mayor Nutter shouted angrily and pounded on the podium before a crowd of around a hundred laborers, attacking Gov. Palin’s assessment of Sen. Barack Obama’s resume as a being that of a “community organizer”.
“And so I guess when you've got a light bench, when you have no real team, you spend all your time attacking the other folks. Community organizer has now somehow become a negative thing. Well you know, I think Martin Luther King, Jr. was a community organizer in his words, in his way. I think Town Watch leaders are community organizers! I think PTA persons, people who join the PTA are community organizers...I think elected officials are community organizers! I happen to think that union people are community organizers!”
“And then they have the audacity, the audacity in this day and age.... In the United States of America we rank twenty-first in education around the world, and now you're going to attack Sen. Barack Obama because he had the opportunity to go to college, go to law school, to make something of himself, to be a productive person in society? And now we're going to criticize folks for advancing themselves, working hard, and being a productive American. And you want to lead this country somewhere? Are you serious?”
Sen. Joe Biden, Obama’s pick for vice president, campaigns today in Pennsylvania with Mayor Nutter, Rep. Bob Brady (D-PA) and Pennsylvania Gov. Ed Rendell.
Talk about projection...
Translation: "I was shocked - SHOCKED! - that anyone would dare tell the truth and say the emperor has no clothes and his running mate is a lying windbag. Shocked, I tell you!"
Nutter.
Re: “Insults have now replaced ideas. Invective has now replaced innovation. Personal attacks have now replaced policy addresses.”
So is he going to call Obama’s campaign and tell them to knock it off?
I see the mayor’s last name is well deserved.
The Nutter really has taken leave of his sense, hasn't he?
Mayor NUTTER... I guess it’s a handed down trait.
What a crybaby.
Nutter, indeed!
Yup.....they’re serious bud. Just watch and quit whining.
“Philadelphia Mayor”
Everything that followed this wasn’t worth the electrons expended........
So, once again, as a PTA Mom, Sarah Palin smokes the Obama-Biden ticket on experience...
You can't make this up!
What a Nutter!
“Gov. Palin’s assessment of Sen. Barack Obama’s resume as a being that of a “community organizer.”
I think it’s Barack Obama’s assessment, not Sarah Palin’s, but continue carrying the dems’ water, CBS.
His Honor is appropriately named.
Geez, what a nut!
Oh the drama! It’s nutter... er... nutty.
What safeguards are in place to prevent or minimize the anticipated massive voter fraud that will be attempted in philly?
“Mayor Nutter” — that’s about right.
What’s the matter Mayor Nutter? Afraid you won’t be able to fix the vote at more than 80% in your favor, and it won’t be enough to drown out every other voter in the state of Pennsylvania?
