Wife Swaps' Stephen Fowler is the Audience for Obama's "Bitter Clingers"

It seems that Wife Swap may have inadvertently revealed one of the the people that Obama addressed his "bitter Americans that cling to guns and religion" remark back during the campaign. Fowler is the pure embodiment of the far left coast Chablis sipping liberal that has such disdain for the "flyover states."

Except that Fowler, a British expatriate, didn't even try to get along. He was phenomenally cruel to Gayla, giving her the silent treatment for much of her stay. When he did talk to her, he managed to insult, among dozens of groups, fat people-the fat people who pay his wife money to make them not fat. (His wife suggested that she looked down on people who didn't have advanced degrees and was not proud — shades of Michelle Obama! — to be an American. But her behavior was so much better than her husband's that it hardly drew notice.) "Agenda, that's a big word for you," Fowler said as Gayla stumbled through a set of rules she sought to impose on his family. "The most boorish and abusive of husbands ever," concluded a blogger on Reality Roll Call.

This liberal snottiness and arrogance is why their message does not reach the majority of Americans. Fowler sees the common American as fat, lazy, and stupid but he still wants to preach his agenda of sustainability (or whatever liberal cause he is pushing on his T-Shirts) to that person. He wants to "help" the person he so disdains. So in this case the message is destroyed by the messenger.

The sad thing is that people like Joe Biden identify with and seem to want to help the common man. So whenever we see a person like Fowler who is cruel to some women from Missouri it turns more and more people against liberals. Fowler destroys whatever message that Biden is trying to preach.

How can you listen to a "message of sustainability" when the messenger is an aberrant scumbag that should simply move back to Britain so he can be away from the unwashed masses of Americans? That is the liberal paradox. How can the party for the common man show such contempt for that selfsame common man?
