More from the sage, Thomas
Sowell:
Speaking privately to supporters
in heavily left-liberal San Francisco Pennsylvania
Like so much that Obama has said
and done over the years, this is standard stuff on the far left, where guns and
religion are regarded as signs of psychological dysfunction -- and where
opinions different from those of the left are ascribed to emotions
("bitter" in this case), rather than to arguments that need to be
answered.
Like so many others on the left,
Obama rejects "stereotypes" when they are stereotypes he doesn't like
but blithely throws around his own stereotypes about "a typical white
person" or "bitter" gun-toting, religious and racist working
class people.
In politics, the clearer a
statement is, the more certain it is to be followed by a
"clarification," when people react adversely to what was plainly
said.
