Rep. Hayes: ‘Liberals Hate Real Americans That Work And Achieve And Believe In God’

On Saturday, Republican North Carolina Reps. Patrick McHenry and Robin Hayes warmed up the crowd at a rally for Sen. John McCain (R-AZ) by throwing red meat to the right-wing audience. McHenry called the event the “biggest crowd John McCain has gotten in North Carolina” and said that voters had a critical choice between McCain and Sen. Barack Obama (D-IL) this election. Someone in the audience yelled out, “It’s like black and white” to loud laughter. McHenry let the remark pass.

When it was his turn to speak, Hayes accused liberals of hating “real Americans”:

He [McHenry] yielded the microphone to Representative Robin Hayes, who prefaced his comments by saying it was important to “make sure we don’t say something stupid, make sure we don’t say something we don’t mean.” Republicans, he reminded the crowd, were kind people. Plus, he added, the liberal media had shown itself eager to distort such remarks. With the crowd duly chastened and put on best behavior, he accused Obama of “inciting class warfare” and said that “liberals hate real Americans that work and achieve and believe in God.”</em>

Republicans are “kind people”? Maybe one by one, but in groups, they are moralistic, bloodthirsty frauds who feel cheating is achieving, that Terry Schivo should live and Matthew Shepard should die.

And as for the “real Americans that work and achieve” nonsense? That would be the blue states, you theocratic dunderhead. Bottom line, the heathens do the work, the pious take the welfare. Put that in your Sean Hannity coffee mug and gulp it.
