Obama backer: Enough with the class-warfare rhetoric
Hot Air ^ | 9/27/2011 | Ed Morrissey

Ted Leonsis owns a sports-entertainment conglomerate that includes three major-league sports teams, a major venue in Washington DC, as well as a number of Internet ventures. He’s vice-chairman emeritus of AOL’s board, which last year purchased Huffington Post. He’s also a big, big donor to the Democratic Party and its candidates, including Barack Obama, for whom Leonsis has already maxed out his contributions in this cycle and did the same in 2008.

That was in June, however, before Obama decided to shift to the Left and start indulging in class-warfare, soak-the-rich rhetoric in order to bolster his sagging ratings and change the dynamic of the 2012 race. Leonsis rips Obama for demonizing the successful in a lengthy rant at his website:

He was dealing with Gilbert Arenas before this. Compared to Arenas, Obama is a model of stoic rationalism.

You are now the enemy, Ted.

Welcome to the club.

Now, why not join the rest of us and actually try to do something about it?

Take away his class-warfare and race cards, and he'll be like that “vanishing deductible” dude:”Where am I going, Carl?”...

the more people have to pay the government...the less they have to pay for stadium suites & courtside/rinkside tickets. Like other people have asked on this thread, what took him so long?

The “guilty I made money, buying into that “elect a 1st black TOTUS and be a part of “history”(who isn’t really black)” crap.

I don’t understand it, nor do I want to.

Ted, Obama is a marxist. He's going to take your money, lie to you all the way, and then destroy everything you have built in order to try and creat his People's Republic HEaven, with him and his cronies on top. Unless you are real close to that circle, get ready to get absolutely screwed.

They call folks like you, who support him, whether on the top or the bottom of the economic scale, "useful idiots". When your use is gone...so are you.

Gald you are seeing the light.

The thing is, millions and millions of Americans are way out in front of you, are hopping mad, and are not going to take it anymore.

2012 will spell the end of Mr. Obama's political career.


IT'S WHAT MARXIST DO

Quite a good essay. You can get a sense about how he feels. He sounds like he really wants (wanted) to like Obama, like he still might support him, but then he says this:

And since you have never worked before in a real job for a real company, you need help from people who have been there. Don’t push them away!

Thats getting a bit personal, sounds like something a Freeper might say. Perhaps he feels mugged.

Mark Levin read much of this on his show. I hope it gets around. The class-warfare stuff helps no one, not even the demagogue using it.
