Cal Thomas Calls Obama Voters ‘Freeloaders’ And ‘Moochers’

Count Cal Thomas as the latest member of the Fox News Sore Losers Club. On Saturday night’s Fox News Watch (11/9/12), Thomas continued the Fox News attacks on Obama voters as some kind of welfare queens. Then, after Kirsten Powers shot him down, he switched gears and said that people are struggling because they can’t find work that pays enough.

Thomas: You look at what’s happening out there. You have an entire two generations now who believe that the government owes them something… We now denigrate what we used to promote in this country… Rich people are evil and they owe other people who sleep to noon. You’ve seen the YouTube of the Obamaphone woman. How you gonna get a free phone? Well, you gotta vote for Obama. You gotta be on food stamps, you gotta be on disability…

The “Obama phone” accusation, which has become a euphemism for “welfare” on Fox is not even true. Our Priscilla nicely debunked this myth last month.

Fortunately, Kirsten Powers interrupted Thomas’ objectionable (and racially-tinged) rant to say, “This is why Republicans will never be in office again… This idea that people who vote for Obama are a bunch of these freeloaders and moochers (Thomas interrupted to say, “It’s true.”) …These are working people… These are people who are often working more than one job. It’s these kinds of comments that alienate…”

Now Thomas changed his tune a bit. He said, “Truth alienates. Truth alienates. Why are they working more than one job? It’s because of the economy. It’s because they’ve been abandoned by a husband or a father or whatever. It’s because they can’t get a job that pays enough.”

Oh, really? I thought they were a bunch of freeloaders and moochers! If a freeloader or moocher couldn't get a job that paid enough, wouldn't he or she just sit back, sleep until noon and collect a handout?

What Obama voters really are? They're the American electorate. And people like Cal Thomas and a bunch of other Fox right wingers just can’t accept the will of the country they insist they love so much.

Let me tell you about this “moocher” and “freeloader” family….I’m a stay at home mom, I thought that was the Republican ideal….I guess I was wrong. My 19 yr old son, who voted the first time, is in college and doing great. This kid, also is dyslexic, so he has to work harder than most, and is still doing great. Last, but not least, my husband. This man has been in the Army for 22 years….also, was born and raised in the Army. Oh, and I forgot, we are all white. We all voted for Obama….are we “moochers” and “freeloader?” Maybe these fools need to step out the bubble for awhile and actually talk to a few Obama voters.

The right wing media keeps doubling down on the worst memes from their fantasy based view of life. This will continue as long as it makes them money-and that means forever. The question is will the Republican Party rebel from this losing message? I see a coming battle for the party coming.

Poor fat pig Cal. His Etch-a-Sketch Rmoney will always be seen as a total fraud…a lying sack of shit. Cal knows this. But to make himself feel better, he feels the irrational need to demean Obama supporters. Have at it, Cal. Oink away. I and my entire family voted for Obama. None of us have ever felt entitled or demanded that the government support us. It’s really quite sad what neocon losers will say to themselves to make themselves feel better.

Cal is a piece of shit so shitty it can’t even be used as fertilizer.

This is the best I’ve seen yet on wealthy entitlements.

- Iâve really never seen a situation where the losing party actually turned on the electorate before. -

Now that Mitt I-Don’t-Care-About-The- 47%ers rMoney has exposed it as an OK policy the other Haters just follow in making it Public.

Gee Cal, I can’t imagine why people earning a stagnant wage for 30 years, due in large part to the core repub philosophy of All for one and none for the rest, would finally reject it. Live paycheck to paycheck sometime and you’ll understand the economy from “the takers” perspective.

This is so much fun, isn’t it? I’m loving the meltdown from the right.

This is just the latest bit of right wing flailing at the electorate for not voting for their candidates. I’ve really never seen a situation where the losing party actually turned on the electorate before. I have to wonder how they think they’re going to get anyone outside the hardcore base to vote for them.

The racism of yesteryear has come full circle in our county. The entire world embraced our choice of a black President four years ago and most nations of the world still support him. The fringe elements of Republican sect have crept through into the mainstream once again with conservative mouthpieces planting the seeds of hate. The only doubt lies here at home rooting from bigotry. Watch the white hands paint Obama in Blackface at http://dregstudiosart.blogspot.com/2012/10/bamboozling-obama.html

You can see why the Haters For Life are so pro-war, killing is their solution to make an unbeatable lead in whatever venue they believe they are entitled to dominate.
