Hillary church event in n.c. new tv ad stuff...breaking

today Hillary Clinton has an extraordinary event in Marionsburg, North Carolina in a Church of God, fundamentalist, charismatic denomination.

film crews were there already but the excitement of the atmosphere, the emotional sparks were so great that a new set of ads is seen in the offing for state like Kentucky and West Virginia, perhaps even in Puerto Rico...directed towards an emerging base of Hillary: rural, religious white voters with dental problems.

while there is some debate within her campaign about how this might compare, or perhaps, exacerate the Obama UCC church issues, but as of now its on. on the flip side some of the amazing specifics.

the choir was out of this world, truly, and that, the melodic, enticing hymns like The Old Rugged Cross, and then according to the pastor, so as theyth drank poison and God protected them, the leaders began sipping from a mason jar of DDT...they slipped a jar of corn liquor instead, due to their insurance carrier's rules, so as to miminize their liability, Hillary found the moonshine to be rather smooth

the subsequent events of Hillary getting caught up in the "spirit", rolling around holily...thank God for pantsuits...then the smakes were brought in...curiously, all the snakes ran off and hid when they saw Hillary, but overall, the empathy, the communal barfing it all shows another group of controversial church folks, and they deserve attention every bit as much as those liberal weenies in San Fransicso.

the commerical promises to be a piece of art...very vogue, or chic, or whatever something is when its really hot

Wow, the Obamatons are really foaming at the mouth, eh? Nice to know you're sexist with the pantsuits thing too.

Why not talk about Rev Wright, I'm sure you'll have a lot more to say?

Nope, not pro-Clinton; pro-Wright maybe.

Very classist. (none / 0)

Class privilege is not what the Democratic Party is about.

Ridiculing working class people is not what the Democratic Party is about.

And we spent a day, a summer day, in Wise, Virginia, with a man named James Lowe, who told us the story of having been born with a cleft palate. He had no health care coverage. His family couldn't afford to fix it. And finally some good Samaritan came along and paid for his cleft palate to be fixed, which allowed him to speak for the first time. But they did it when he was 50 years old. His amazing story, though, gave this campaign voice: universal health care for every man, woman and child in America. That is our cause.

And we do this -- we do this for each other in America. We don't turn away from a neighbor in their time of need. Because every one of us knows that what -- but for the grace of God, there goes us. The American people have never stopped doing this, even when their government walked away, and walked away it has from hardworking people, and, yes, from the poor, those who live in poverty in this country.

For decades, we stopped focusing on those struggles. They didn't register in political polls, they didn't get us votes and so we stopped talking about it. I don't know how it started. I don't know when our party began to turn away from the cause of working people, from the fathers who were working three jobs literally just to pay the rent, mothers sending their kids to bed wrapped up in their clothes and in coats because they couldn't afford to pay for heat.

We know that our brothers and sisters have been bullied into believing that they can't organize and can't put a union in the workplace. Well, in this campaign, we didn't turn our heads. We looked them square in the eye and we said, "We see you, we hear you, and we are with you. And we will never forget you." And I have a feeling that if the leaders of our great Democratic Party continue to hear the voices of working people, a proud progressive will occupy the White House.

This is classist:


rural, religious white voters with dental problems

There are people without denatal care in this country.

To the author of this pice of crap:

Please go fuck yourself.

Remarks Of John Edwards Today In New Orleans
Jan 30, 2008 1:51 PM

We sat with poultry workers in Mississippi, janitors in Florida, nurses in California.

We listened as child after child told us about their worry about whether we would preserve the planet.

We listened to worker after worker say "the economy is tearing my family apart."

We walked the streets of Cleveland, where house after house was in foreclosure.

And we said, "We're better than this. And economic justice in America is our cause."

Re: Very classist. (none / 0)

well, telling me to, er, bugger myself, that seems a bit harsh, it was supposed to be a snark, clearly labeled as such

i know many poor people have medical problems, at a funeral in my family years ago, many were toothless, i grew up in a poor, rural area of south carolina, i need no lecture on needs and liberalism

sadly, trying to find some glimmer of humor in all this mess is hopeless....though i do enjoy snagging the occasional tuna, like, uh, you
