'They Must Think You're Stupid'
New York Sun. ^ | September 11, 2008 | KENNETH BLACKWELL

Posted on 09/11/2008 8:44:13 AM PDT by Presbyterian Reporter

On Monday, Senator Obama uttered one sentence that could haunt him until Election Day. He said of Senator McCain telling voters they would bring change and Governor Palin, "they must think you're stupid." Given his stances on the surge, social issues, and his past, Mr. Obama will regret those words.

Let's start with social issues like Second Amendment freedoms. Mr. Obama denies that he's ever supported banning handguns, right after the landmark Heller case where the Supreme Court struck down Washington D.C.'s handgun ban.

When a 1996 questionnaire surfaced that had asked if Mr. Obama supported banning all handguns, his one-word written answer was "yes." He said an unnamed staffer must have filled it out without his knowledge. Then another copy surfaced — this one with his handwriting on it. He says he must not have read that particular question. Sure.

On the hot-button issue of abortion, last month saw a growing concern over Mr. Obama's opposition to the Born-Alive Infants Protection Act, which states if an abortion is botched and a live birth results, the baby is entitled to medical care. The federal version of this law unanimously passed the U.S. Senate.

However, when a version of this bill came to the Illinois Senate, Mr. Obama opposed it. When confronted last month with the fact that the federal version of this bill had been supported by the likes of Ted Kennedy and Barbara Boxer, Mr. Obama said the he would have supported the federal version. Those suggesting otherwise were lying, he said. Then it was disclosed that a second bill was introduced in the Illinois Senate, and this one was identical to the federal version. Mr. Obama opposed that bill as well. He has yet to come up with an explanation on that one.

It is never a good idea to call the voters "stupid" no matter what the reason.

Looks like it is Amateur Hour over at the Obambi campaign.

The core of 0bama supporters can only be explained by the triumph of emotion over reason. It’s not stupidity. I would go with immaturity instead.

"they must think you're stupid."

Only a STUPID PERSON votes for a pathological liar who consults black racists, terrorists and slumlords for their support and friendship.

Only a STUPID PERSON votes for an EVIL man who supports the death of a baby after he/she has been born.

Only a STUPID PERSON votes for a gun-grabbing STALINIST whose policies have contributed to the defenselessness of Americans living in Illinois.

Only a STUPID PERSON votes for a man who is approved by international Islamic terrorist organizations like Hamas.

Speaking of STUPID LOOKING PEOPLE:

Welfare payments given through the tax code are not “tax cuts.” He must think we are stupid.

Editorials flowing like this one would be great for local papers.

Or they just have their heads in the sand. Like my sister. You could show her a picture of Obama standing behind a bent over man ( I’ll leave it to your imagination what they are doing ) and she would say he is just taking his temperature !!!

This column would have been complete after the second sentence. Setting aside Obama’s questionable resume, shady associations, and socialist ideals, his statement, “They must think you’re stupid” tells me all I need to know about him. Because really what Obama wants to say is, “If you believe McCain and Palin, you’re stupid.”

I have nothing but contempt for liberals who characterize well-meaning, hard-working Americans as “stupid” because they aren’t on board with liberal ideaology.

Anyone who questions that Senator McCain represents change need only answer one question:

“Who picked Sarah Palin?”
