Quote from RCG Trader:
One problem the hard right has with Obama is that he is very well educated, which is against the rules if you are black, especially if you weren't sitting on the porch.
Almost by definition, the hard right is anti-intellectual. How many times have you heard that the liberals have invaded the colleges and universities. That is very telling.
So, their definition of a man is a tobacco chewing, cowboy hat wearing, pick-up driving guy(but only if it has a Hemi), that has an arsenal in his basement. ( In case the commies come).
Now, these same people have to deal with a ivy league basketball playing black man as CEO of what they thought was their great nation. Worse, they have to contend with the reality that they are now a severe minority. Last of the Mohican's, so to speak.
So, they salve this mental wound by saying:
1. He uses a teleprompter
2. He was an affirmative action product and sucked as a student.
3. He is not a "real" man. ( Refer to the above analysis of their mental state about masculinity)
4. He was not even born here, he could not possibly be an American.
5. He was a Manchurian Candidate, he could not possibly be a "real" American.
6. Since he is not a "real" man, he could not have possibly killed OBL.
Listening with a trained ear can tell so much about an individual or a group.
