Prominent McCain Supporter, Lady Rothschild, States That Obama Does Not Appeal To "Rednecks"
I guess this goes under the with friends like this, who need enemies categories. I am sure the Obama campaign is really bummed that they don't have Lady Rothschild out there campaigning for Obama and responding to charges that he is elitist. McCain must be glad that Lynn Forester de Rothschild is out there talkng about how her candidate does a better job connecting with "rednecks." Perhaps Lady Rothschild can appear with McCain when Palin is not available.

Here is a link to a video of Lady Rothschild making her reference:

3. How would she know? Somebody should ask her where the term comes from.
And first bet her $10K or so that she doesn't know.

She should be the last one to criticize anyone for "elitism". That only tells me that she's a jackass racist.

4. She lives at Ascott House, the 3,200 acre Rothschild family estate
Edited on Sat Sep-20-08 02:34 AM by IndianaGreen
Baroness Lady Lynn Forester de Rothschild.

Lady Forester is the billionaire CEO of a major international holding company, one-time "mega communications mogul," and wife of famed international banker Sir Evelyn Robert Adrian de Rothschild. She is mistress of the Ascott House, the 3,200 acre Rothschild family estate North of London, and owns a lavish summer home in Marthas Vineyard and what has been described as "the most beautiful apartment in New York." She's been dubbed "the flashiest hostess in London" by Portfolio and "a New York socialite" by the Wall Street Journal. And Lady Forester is clearly anathema to the plight of ordinary Americans.

5. "He's an elitist!" she decries, from her chateau before she is helicoptered to her NYC townhouse.
Oh, the irony.

7. how many of her friends are rednecks?
how is she an expert in what appeals to them?

Granted---Palin probably does appeal to the redneck vote--so she may have something there....

12. Well, the fact that she refers to McCain's voters as "rednecks" can't help McCain
Again, with friends like that, does McCain need enemies.

18. She's using "redneck" in its original sense
It's a word for Anglo-Scots-Irish-American people from the south. My parents were rednecks and all of their children
are proud Obama supporters. So Lady de Rothschild is full of beans.

I don't claim to be some "down home" country guy, but I get so sick of these patronizing, Marie Antoinette-types trying to speak as though they understand the poor unwashed masses.

20. She was "quoting" the media's use of the term. It's like "my Muslim faith": out of context
and much ado about nothing.

21. Or maybe she's a Hillary Clinton plant out to destroy McCain
from inside the campaign.

This woman's life is a classic TV movie - Simpton Thacher, Kluge, Andy Stein, Rothschild. How I whored to fame and fortune!

23. Lady R. should retreat to her 3200 acre estate, but I hope she doesn't.
This makes the "bitter" remark go away big time. Nothing like a fabulously wealthy snob looking down on the commoners.
