Obama: I was for bigoted elitism before I was against..., well, I'm still for it....

That Senator Obama! Such an articulate, well spoken man! Never slips up! Always means what he says! You're never confused as to his meaning.....

Well, then. Apparently he has allowed his true feelings to come out. Let's see if this gets as much airplay as the infamous "maccaca" event by a conservative that we all know.

Make sure that you read the comments at these posts. Well, maybe not all of them...TalkLeft has hundreds. But, if you have nothing else to do.......

Obama Round up:

Everybody's favorite blogger (at least around here....), Michelle Malkin has a great set of...links. (Get your minds out of the gutter.....) Bitter, religious xenophobes

Michael Goldfarb over at The Weekly Standard points out that Senator Obama believes all of the other issues are just attempts to distract the public from seeing how he is just trying to help those in need. I think they are distractions....from Obama's campaign strategy of vapid empty rhetoric. Oops, reality!

Marc Ambinder's article at The Atlantic has generated a great set of comments that show the how the people of this country can read the exact same words and get a 180 degree separation in meaning.

Talk Left has it all at Obama's Gaffe, Obama's Response, and Late Night: Small Town. Their comments are running into the hundreds......

And Jennifer Rubin has a comment at Commentary.com in the blog: Contentions
John Podhoretz also weighs in on the kerfuffle at Contentions.

Jonathan Martin at Politico mentions John McCain's response.

Gateway Pundit has all sorts of blogging goodies about Obama's outreach to Pennsylvania's poor, downtrodden, religious, gun-toting, bigots, including video of Obama's "non-apology."

The Ace has a great post (And a flaming skull!) on this issue. Of course he has a link to a great authority on race AND small towns, the Sheriff from Blazing Saddles.....

And there are great links over at Just One Minute.
