American Royalty Endorses American Royalty, Citing Rednecks

The jilted Clinton supporter Lady Lynn Forester de Rothschild recently endorsed John McCain, saying Barack Obama is elitist and unable to connect with everyday people. De Rothschild certainly knows something about elitism — the wife of British banking scion Sir Evelyn de Rothschild, she reportedly splits her time between homes in New York and London — but it's unlikely she knows all that much about everyday people. Here she is on CNN explaining her endorsement of McCain:

"The people out, you know, who are the rednecks or whoever, are bitter."

Surely the rednecks or whoever recognize this woman as one of their own. Video after the jump.

Bitter? Bitter!? Where have I heard that before? Hmm...

"Bitter people who cling to religion and guns."

She was channelling Barack Obama.

Jonathan, I hate to have to remind you but as Americans, we officially do not recognize 'nobility'.
So why should we give a big doo-doo what this mega-rich broad, who's married to a guy named Evelyn, has to say about real people?

Yeah, those of us who have a barn and are intimately familiar with the use of a manure scoop recognize that this woman understands us just as well as John McCain, Sarah Palin, Barack Obama & Joe Biden.

Every time one of these people opens their mouth it just creates one more job for the manure scoop.

Refering to Lady Rothschilds
comments pertaining to McCain.
She has a right to her own opinion. I don't care how rich
or poor she might be. That is what this country is all about. If one wants to talk about elitist, who more elitist than Obama. After all wasn't he the one who commented off camera about us
folks in PA being not but
bible reading, gun hugging
individuals when he saw he was getting his butt kicked by Hillary. This comment was
to the Hoi Polloi in Oregan
when he thought the attention was being directed elsewhere.
One has to wonder what he has
said to special interest group
when the media was listening.
Not that it matters. They don't print half of ills this
man has stated or written in his biographies. One of which
he stated he has an aversion to white folks. No he is trying to rewrite history.
Biden, his present running mate said it all when he was
running against him. Most of
it has been wiped from the net, but if you look long enough, you'll find them.
His opinion of Obama was lowest of the lows. So take some time and look it up. you
will get a lot different picture of Obama then by Biden
than what you're hearing from his mouth today. Frankly I look at Obama and McCain and will vote for McCain because
to me he is the lessor of the
two evils. Much of what the
Demos and Reps offered the last time around.

DJIA the month Clinton took office: 3,310.03
DJIA the month Clinton left office: 10,587.59
% increase: 320%

DJIA the month Bush took office: 10,587.59
Current DJIA : 10,720.48

McCain = Bush

Harold Dillon's 'half-retarded' commentary is more convincing than your completely ad hominem retort.

Harold, you are so bitter because McCain and Moose momma are not the brighted light bulb in the room. You need to take off those rose colored glasses. If you don't like either one there are 2 others you could vote for. There is Nadar and there is Barr. You got your choice one left and one right. But for me I will stick with Obama. Change is a comin.

Change is a comin.

Yep.

One way or another, the name on the Oral Office door is about to change, and that'll be the most noticable thing that changes in our daily lives. Just the word that follows "President" in the daily news broadcasts.

Lady, you are a racist! A bitter rich racist!

Jim, you are right. Lady Rothschild is a Jewish Supremist and like the NY money people have switched to support McCain and not Obama, because Obama is not reliable in taking orders from AIPAC and Jerusalem.

Aristocrats stand up for aristocrats.
McCain is married to an aristocrat, therefore he is an aristocrat. We do have nobles in the United States, we just don't call them Lords and Ladys.

Obama is not elite -- Obama was born intelligent and raised by his white mother and her parents, who raised him well and managed to guide him properly for his success for which I am thankful.

The United States needs Obama now to pull our country together and figure out ways to keep people working at wages they can actually live on after what the conservatives have done to our country.

I hope in the name of Jesus, my Lord, that Obama is able to protect Social Security and Medicare and can get Health Care for all the nations citizens.

I also hope Obama can turn our nation around so that non-aristocratic citizens will return to being citizens, instead of consumer commodities to be used. There is something about being used that just doesn't set too well with me.

Hey martha,

What do you mean "No nobles in America"..?

You have ted kennedy and you treat him like a noble..?
Funny thing is, he let that poor girl, Mary Jo Kopeckney DIE in that car, while he ran home to sargent sriver..:-)

He should have been charged with the ultimate crime, but since he was a democrat noble, he got off scott FREE...and it was the 60's when everyone lost it..huh?

That was a CRIME..!!! If it happened today, he woudl be in JAIL..!!!
