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 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.”

This meme has been picking up steam amongst the right wing in recent weeks. Most prominently, Rep. Michele Bachmann (R-MN) exploded on Friday and said that liberals were “anti-American.” The McCain campaign and its conservative allies have also been blasting progressive ideas as “socialist” or “Marxist.”

Note that Hayes is the same congressman who, in 2006, said:

"Stability in Iraq ultimately depends on spreading the message of Jesus Christ, the message of peace on earth, good will towards men. Everything depends on everyone learning about the birth of the Savior."...http://thinkprogress.org/2008/10/20/hayes-liberals-hate/

7. Work hard?

From the comment thread to this piece at ThinkProgress:

Hayes owns a hosiery mill in Mount Pleasant, North Carolina. His parents were Robert Griffith Hayes, Jr. (October 21, 1907 - November 12, 1998) and Mariam Winslow Cannon (January 22, 1916 - August 4, 2007), daughter of textile magnate Charles Albert Cannon.

Charles Albert Cannon was the son of James William Cannon and president of the Cannon Mills Company from the 1920’s to the 1960’s.

Cannon Mills manufacturing plants were located mainly in Kannapolis, North Carolina (from the Greek for city of looms) and Concord, North Carolina.

There were multiple plants employing thousands of people during this time, running three shifts and producing sheets and towels.

5. He is the rep for the Fayetteville area of N.C.

My parents live in that area. I really hope they vote this guy out too.

6. Hey, Con-Man Hayes!

I'm a liberal. I've worked all my life, starting with VOLUNTEER work while I was still in high school. I've achieved plenty--not for myself, but for others, by initiating and spearheading fundraising drives for local and international non-profit organizations. As for God--oh yes, I am a believer.

As for hating "real Americans"--hatred is a waste of time, energy, and emotion. I only have pity for you and those you dupe.

[FiveGoodMen]

8. I hate Hayes.

No joke.

Call him a real American who blah, blah, blah...

To me people like him are the devil.

And the proper reaction to the devil is hatred.

FUCK THAT WORTHLESS PIECE OF SHIT!

FUCK ANYONE WHO DOESN'T HATE HIM.

[Hans Delbrook]

10. Too true

I guess that's why I'm a senior manager - working in big pharma and a practicing Catholic.

My God, do I hate me - and I hate my husband too! And my friends - senior managers, liberals and theists all.

"Damn you - me and my spouse - damn you both to hell... which I don't believe in!"


:rofl: :rofl: :rofl:

[Lorien]

11. Yeah, what has HE done to spread peace?

killing people and lying about hardworking liberal Americas is hardly "Christian" of him.

[mwb970]

12. Imagine that. A pair of right-wing jerks in NC.

Same old same old.

13. Larry Kissell is running against Hayes. Here's his website. . .

14. I live in Hayes' district.

He is a complete embarrassment. I met Hayes' opponent, Larry Kissell, at an 8th District Democratic rally October 11. He is a really nice, down-to-earth, guy -- and understands what middle class America is going through. He lost by only 329 votes in 2006, and I think he will send Hayes packing in a few weeks.
My message to Hayes the idiot: WTF is a "real American"? I am LIBERAL and proud of it! I also work full-time AND I believe in God. (Southern Baptist, at that!) I am going to proudly cast my vote for Larry Kissell Wednesday, and myself along with many other REAL AMERICANS will see that Hayes is out of a job come January!
