Fake America located

In tonight's NBC News interview with Brian Williams, McCain explains that the "elites" are located in D.C. and New York City:

WILLIAMS: Who is a member of the elite?
PALIN: Oh, I guess just people who think that they're better than anyone else. And-- John McCain and I are so committed to serving every American. Hard-working, middle-class Americans who are so desiring of this economy getting put back on the right track. And winning these wars. And America's starting to reach her potential. And that is opportunity and hope provided everyone equally. So anyone who thinks that they are-- I guess-- better than anyone else, that's-- that's my definition of elitism.

WILLIAMS: So it's not education? It's not income-based? It's--
PALIN: Anyone who thinks that they're better than someone else.
WILLIAMS: --a state of mind? It's not geography?
PALIN: 'Course not.
WILLIAMS: Senator?
MCCAIN: I-- I know where a lot of 'em live. (LAUGH)
WILLIAMS: Where's that?
MCCAIN: Well, in our nation's capital and New York City. I've seen it. I've lived there. I know the town. I know-- I know what a lot of these elitists are. The ones that she never went to a cocktail party with in Georgetown. I'll be very frank with you. Who think that they can dictate what they believe to America rather than let Americans decide for themselves.

The Georgetown cocktail party line has really gotten old, Senator.

[Drunken Master III]

Sarah Palin is clueless. That rant sounded like:

[SKINS@THEGOALLINE]

Explain your recent shopping spree to hard-working, middle-class Americans.

[Monte51Coleman]

She is one damn well dressed hockey mom.

[sith lord]

She is one damn well dressed hockey mom.

So true. I always thought hockey moms shopped at Walmart, not on 5th avenue.

[Larry]

Cute headline. Worthy of Onion.

Anxiously awaiting the Daily show presentation.

[renaissance]

Seriously, why does McCain hate Georgetown so much???

Funny how politicians barely answer the question but manage to sneak in all kinds of extra info about how great they are.

And they all do that.

[shk75]

Elitists = democrats, cmon poeple we all know this. All democrats are fake Americans who think they are better than the real Americans. I am telling you right now the democrats are getting all types of respect from Peter King and Dr. Z and ESPN and the hard working republicans always get shafted...no respect I tell you no respect.

[Hubbs]

I'd love to see McCain go into the stands of a Yankees game and tell everyone there that they're the hob-knobbing elitists of America.

[Midnight Judges]

It's a good thing America wasn't attacked on 9/11 because only fake Americans died.

[MurrayH81]

Or Sarah go into the stands at a Redskins game and get all close and personal with the elitists in the Obstructed View section.

[DCranon21]

Somehow, interviews are not her strong point I see.

[dcnativenerd]

Oh, I'm not a real American now? Just because I was born and raised in the D.C. area?
Psh, whatever. Just a bunch of BS politicians like to throw out there. Lucky for them, those "Fake Americans" in the District won't vote for him.

[shk75]

Do not let it get to you. They are just trying to do whatever they can to win an election. The republicans know that they will not win in big cities so they are trying to pin the rest of America against them so that they have a better chance of winning. Politics is a dirty game I am not surprised.

[Lombardi's_kid_brother]

I am fascinaetd by her interviews.

She just starts talking and says any damn think that comes to mind that may actually relate to the question. And that's it.

In 1990, McCain was dunked on by Mutumbo in a pick-up game in the Capitol building gymnasium. He never forgave him or his alma mater for the post-dunk finger wag, and the subsequent utube videos.

And then there was that time Iverson through a chair at Palin at that bowling alley.

ever since her debate with binden, i've equated her interview skills to a college student who spent the night before cramming for an exam and during the exam just ends up spewing anything they can remember in the hopes of getting partial credit.

Well, that's what intellectuals do, dontcha know...

That's as accurate a description as I have heard.

Like I said in another thread, her answer on the VP and the Senate is sort of right in a weird way. But it is clear that she is just rambling about stuff she heard in Civics in 8th Grade.

[grhqofb5]

And then there was that time Iverson through a chair at Palin at that bowling alley.

Actually, I think Iverson stripped her naked and kicked her out of his house, then got his mom to defend him when the media started swarming.

[Redskins Diehard]

You guys really get "everyone in NY and Washington is fake America" from "a lot of them(elitists) live in New York and Washington"?

Also too, McCain said it not Palin. Yet this thread is about her also too, dontcha know.

[dcnativenerd]

Actually, upon further review, it's not what I thought it was.
Still, though, dumb thing for the Senator to say.

[Larry]

Well, that's what intellectuals do, dontcha know...

Actually, I keep thinking of Cosby's "Natural Child Birth":

"Intellectuals, go to class, to learn how to do something, naturally."

[WVUforREDSKINS]

San Fransisco is real America then?!

Good Lord what have we done!!

[Larry]

I hear the folks in Alaska elected an intellectual for a Governor.

[PokerPacker]

where is this "fake america" quote coming from?

Thin air. Someone got their evil Republican insults mixed up.

[SpringfieldSkins]

I'm a fake American and proud of it. :)

You ever seen "Real America?"

I just hope im only stopping at a gas station next time I go to that fail pile.

[Larry]

Thin air.

Did you (or somebody else) bring some kind of support that would justify making a claim like that, and I missed it?

I think you missed it. It is in the original post. More accurately it isn't in the original post.

[Larry]

OK, I see your post's point.

More accurately I see the point that wasn't in your post.

Do you, or anyone else, have support for what points you see that are or are not there?
