OMFG Hillary is a working class American

[malaise]

Damn they've forced me to agree with Tweety for the first time ever.
I call bullshit.

[TheDonkey]

1. the surrogate makes a bold claim "hillary is FROM a white working class family"

:puke:

[enki23]

3. the important part of that statement is "white"

and that's the real intent. "look everyone, she's from a WHITE working class family." she's like you. that uppity ****** over isn't like you at all, now is he?

[malaise]

8. No what's important is they allow the use of the term

working class - a rare thing. She's not even middle class peeps. :rofl:

[TheDonkey]

17. I found it a little shameless. Somehow being white makes her "authentic"

according was the point it seemed that lady was trying to make. Extremely sad.

[saracat]

20. But its okay to describe Obama as "black" ?

[enki23]

25. the obama campaign hasn't made the "my opponent isn't like regular folks" argument

apples <---------------------------------------->oranges

[TheDonkey]

31. you are a sad person

aren't you. filled with ignorance.

[saracat]

32. That is more descriptive of you. You can't even appreciate someone who both got scolarships and

worked their way through school. Hillary's Dad didn't believe in educating girls. he thought it was a waste, and now stupid people denigrate Hillary's efforts. She desertves her success.

[TheDonkey]

34. get real

and Obama just glided into being the WINNING democratic nominee in 2008 because he did not work hard? He didn't even have to be hitched to a fmr president to get here.

[saracat]

39. Yeah. Beating Alan Keyes was really hard. Please.Chicago machine pols.

[Shae]

47. Okay, maybe beating Alan Keyes wasn't

such a big deal, but that's who was running against him. He could have possibly beaten a stronger candidate as well.
And don't you think beating Hillary Clinton was quite an accomplishment?

[Dessalines]

44. Society decided to call Obama Black;

Obviously there is a very tenuous relationship between race and genetics. You will be characterized as hispanic and not black if you are from Puerto Rico or the Dominican Republic with almost all African ancestry. You can be 10% or %20 African but having been in America be considered Black. Why? Because those who had the power to decide decided it would be that way. Lets get real if Obama or someone who looked just like him was coming down the street and someone asked you who was coming down he street you would say that black guy. Obama identifies as black only because the world has related to him as a black man. Its really not that complicated.

[Bluerthanblue]

45. uhhhh..... what exactly

is an "African American" ? Barack is the son of a BLACK African man- and a white American woman. He has rightful claim on both aspects of his heritage.

DNA is part of your essence. Social class is different.

peace~

[Dessalines]

43. I did not know a person could say white that

many times in one sentence. Couple that with Begalla on CNN saying my party is not the party of Eggheads and African Americans, leads me to believe that the Clintons and her camp are appealing to naked racism at this point. The make-up is coming off the ape.

[Pirate Smile]

7. The only voters that matter are white working class people. Did you hear her say the people

hit most hard by a recession are "white working class" people? Oh, really? I was always under the impression that minorities got slammed the hardest but, I forgot, they aren't "regular" people anymore.

[neverforget]

30. As a white middle class male, I wanted to throw my TV out the window

when I heard that. :puke:

[TahitiNut]

18. Lisa Caputo pimps with the best of 'em.

She actually said that without choking on it. Good going! :silly:

[saracat]

21. She is. That is how she was raised.Deal with it.

[sweetrage1913]

22. I'm still trying to figure out

why the "God Bless Us Rich People" quote in the OReilly interview didn't get more coverage. Oh... Wait a minute, I remember now! The MSM and right wing "lovefest" that is going on with Mrs. Clinton.

[Leftist Agitator]

2. Working class, and worth $109 million.

But she does shots of Crown! That makes the l'il folk like her, cause she gets good an' liquored up before she goes a-duck-huntin'!

:rofl:

[malaise]

6. ROFL because it's all I can do

:rofl:

[natrat]

9. and her cayman island acct is probably 10 times that

[DMorgan]

10. Gets a Senate (taxpayer paid) salary, her husband's pension, free healthcare......

And she is "middle class" with only 100 + million in investments!

Poor Poor Hillary!

[RazBerryBeret]

13. isn't now more like $140 million?

I read she didn't report all Bill's earnings....

[babylonsister]

15. Nah, add $24M to that figure: she's even more down home:

http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=show_mesg&forum=132&topic_id=5830395&mesg_id=5830395

[bunnies]

16. Plus the 24 million Bill made from China.

Hey... wheres my secret service? I need some gas pumped!

[saracat]

24. Bill and Hillary did not have money until recently. He only made $38, 000

a year as Governor and she was the real breadwinner. Hillary grew up in a middle class family and Bill was poor.

[Leftist Agitator]

26. Yeah, and now they're got more money than any of us will ever see...

But, yeah, she's average, and blue-collar, because every coal miner, steel worker, and longshoreman has been on the board of Wal-Mart, owns a vacation home, and can't figure out how to use a coffee machine or pump gas.

:eyes:

[saracat]

28. She earned it. She worked her way through school , got an ivy league education

and supported herself and her husband. What is it about hard work and success you hate? She was from a working class family.Are you jealous of their money or something? They also give a huge amount to charity.

[Leftist Agitator]

33. "They also give a huge amount to charity."

Credit where credit is due, that aside...

I don't much give a fuck about her so-called "blue-collar upbringing", what I'm saying is that it is the height of ridiculousness for her to attempt to portray herself as anything but the ultra-wealthy member of the upper echelon of society that she so obviously is.

"What is it about hard work and success you hate?"

Not a damn thing. In fact, Obama's hard work and resultant success have rather endeared him to me.

[saracat]

41. But her's hasn't? Did it ever occur to you that is was just as hard if not harder for a

woman to put herself through law school than it was for Obama?

[DMorgan]

36. Crying all the way to the bank, as they lived in

Government housing, a Governor's Mansion, maids, servants, paid healthcare,

Poor poor Hillary, really suffered.

[saracat]

42. They didn't always. Grow up.

[Arugula Latte]

35. Hey, she's One of Us. (You know, multi-millionaires.)

[elocs]

4. Right, because aside from her having million$ she is just like me. n/t

[swishyfeet]

5. HAAA!

[malaise]

11. ANyday now I expect to see her

original trailer

[LSparkle]

12. That was a rare time that I applauded Tweety ...

Caputo was caught flat-footed. Her comment about "sipping chardonnay
with the elites is something her opponent does" made me LIVID.

If the suckola MSM criticized Al Gore for changing his persona, why
aren't they ALL OVER her ass? Suburban Wellesley princess turns into
beer-guzzling NASCAR fan? BULLSH*T!!!!

[Nia Zuri]

14. She's a "white working class American"

[HooptieWagon]

19. Well, it's sort of true...

if by "working class American" he means born in a wealthy Chicago suburb, have a vacation home in PA, attend an elite private college, then attend an Ivy League law school, go to work in DC for Nixon impeachment hearings, become first lady of Arkansas, use connections to get hired by top law firm, join WalMart Board of Directors, become first lady, use connections to buy Senate seat. Yeah, I guess most working class Americans are just like that.

[Guaranteed]

23. Her whole campaign is just a joke. There's nothing honest or serious

about it.

[SOS]

27. Park Ridge, Wellesley and Yale Law

She's practically a sharecropper.

[saracat]

29. She worked her way through school.

[SOS]

38. Not in a working class factory job

1965: President - Wellesley Young Republicans
1968: President - Wellesley College Government Association
Summer 1968 - Wellesley in Washington summer program, intern at House Republican Conference (attended Republican National convention in Miami)

Yale Law school
Member, editorial board of the Yale Review of Law
Worked at the Yale Child Study Center
Summer 1970, awarded a grant to work at the Washington Research Project
Summer 1971 intern at law firm of Treuhaft, Walker and Burnstein
Summer 1972 campaigned for McGovern
Graduated 1973

An impressive record of achievement, but about as far from "working class" as you can get.

PS: At today's tuition rates, Clinton's Wellesley/Yale education would cost $375,000.

[saracat]

40. She had many more jobs than that and you know it. She also "slimed fish and had other jobs as well.

President of the Wellesley Young Republicans is NOT a job nor was the Wellesly College Governmnt Assoc. You don't add her time "sliming fish" any of her other jobs.You sound jealous that she was so smart. All of that and a scholarship too!

[Elidor]

37. Can I get a transcript or summary?

Have pity on the guy who likes to brag about how he cut of the cable and now gives snotty, moralistic lectures on how he's too good to watch tv guy with no tv. :D

[Medusa]

46. So why am I not worth $150 million like she is then?

If I'm also a working class American????????????

[TexasObserver]

48. Hillary: poor little rich girl, to Wellesley College, to Yale, to Walmart

a life of privilege and wealth, of servants and gophers, never once holding a real job
