Santorum: Obama Is ‘Condescending’ Because He Refuses To Wear An American Flag Pin»

[RedEarth]

Santorum claimed that the real reason people in that area won’t support Sen. Barack Obama (D-IL) is because he is “condescending to them.” As evidence, he said that Obama “won’t wear the American flag pin”:

SANTORUM: Well, I’m from western Pennsylvania. I grew up in western Pennsylvania. I grew up in a steel town — Butler, PA — and those people are not racist. What they are are people that look at someone who is as liberal as Barack Obama, who has been condescending to them — in calling them clinging their guns and their religion — won’t wear the American flag pin, and he is not in concert with their values. It has nothing to do with the color of his skin.

1. Obama wears the damn flag pin all the time. Where was McCain's?

[Johonny]

McCain wasn't wearing it on purpose

wants the subject brought up so he can go on how he doesn't need to wear it because he's was a POW. It was a trap subject that Obama never fell for.

2. Oh brother...

Not the damn flag pin again. Who GIVES A FUCK about the flag pin? It's JUST A FLAG PIN. What next? Newborn babies with the American flag tattoed on their ass.

Damn this guy is so ridiculous.

[FLyellowdog]

8. Do these people not watch the tv machine?

Obama has a beautiful flag pin and he wears it all the time.

[southpaw]

9. Santorum?

He is so far from relevant!

What a maroon.

[JackBeck]

10. Oh really, Ricky...?

[OneGrassRoot]

11. I think he started the whole wave of "he's anti-American" emails....

dickwad.

I grew up in that area, too. "Those people are not racist."

:rofl: Now THAT is funny!

[Zodiak]

12. Hold me back!

[billyoc]

19. Oh, but we must...

[VenusRising]

20. Obama's not wearing an American flag pin - Boo-hoo!

[Zodiak]

25. Santorum doesn't seem to have one either

That pin doesn't appear to be a flag pin, and if it is, it is too small to notice.

Whatsamatter Joe? Not proud enough to wear your pin where it can be seen?

[CakeGrrl]

13. Sounds like someone begging for a month's worth of campaign footage

...to be dumped on their head.

[JuniperLea]

What with all the scraping at the bottom going on.

15. He means uppity. Too bad you were booted out of office, Rick,

for being a disgusting idiot.

[blueclown]

16. Says the guy who lost by 16% in 2006. n/t

[Ikonoklast]

17. If Sanitarium thinks Butler, PA isn't racist , he's on goofballs.

Western rural Pennsylvania, those small cities and isolated hamlets hugging the river valleys populated by almost 100% white Eastern European and Italian immigrants?

I hear the word n***** there more than in the deep South. And I go to each of these places a lot.

He's either willfully ignorant or wants us to be incredibly naive.

[dkofos]

18. Who the fuck really cares what santorum says. He needs to STFU and go away.

[chrisau214]

And, sadly, some people will fall for this nonsense.

He's just another parrot.

the people are coming to believe their own lying eyes rather than Republicans.

[Erin Elizabeth]
