04/12/2008: "Snotty superiority complex encouraged by liberal thinking"

Democratic presidential candidate Barack Obama came under fire on Friday for saying small-town Pennsylvania residents were "bitter" and "cling to guns or religion," in comments his rivals said showed an elitist view of the middle class.

"It shows an elitism and condescension toward hard-working Americans that is nothing short of breathtaking," said Steve Schmidt, a senior adviser to the Arizona senator. "It is hard to imagine someone running for president who is more out of touch with average Americans."

[ Liberalism is based on the idea that making people feel morally superior to others for unrealistic altruism is a path to power. Obama is exploiting this and using race to his advantage. It's a good working proof that "altruism" is garbage, although love for people on the same page as you are is not -- and that is the basis of the organic state. ]
