"Give me a break! I've got news for all the latte-drinking, Prius- driving, Birkenstock-wearing, trust fund babies crowding in to hear him speak! This guy won't last a round against the Republican attack machine. He's a poet, not a fighter."
- Clinton supporter Tom Buffenbarger on Obama supporters
Can I just say, I've never actually had a latte (lactose intolerant), driven a Prius (I want one), worn Birkenstocks (Dwight Shrute does, though) or have a trust fund (if wishes were horses). So why did Tom Buffenbarger launch an attack that most medicated people know is bogus? Simple - to get one group of Democrats to hate another group of Democrats. Criticizing Obama's record hasn't worked. Belittling his soaring rhetoric hasn't worked. Attacking him in any way, shape or form hasn't worked. This is whats left. Getting our brothers and sisters in Ohio (and Texas) to hate us. Getting our fellow Democrats to believe that we don't care about them, the problems of our country or our deeply held Democratic ideals.
HATE. That's all they have left.
