CPAC Speaker Mocks Obama's Use Of Cocaine (VIDEO)

Critics of Barack Obama seemed to have long since abandoned the idea that his admitted drug use as a youth could be used as a political cudgel to hold over him.

But on Thursday a featured speaker at CPAC did just that, whacking the president for using cocaine at one point in his early years and equating the country's experience with the Obama administration to a regrettable drug binge.

Jason Mattera of the Young America's Foundation, declared that: "Our notion of freedom doesn't consist of snorting cocaine, which distinguishes us from Barack Obama."

Later, he added: "On the cocaine front I do believe many young people in America view Barack in the same fashion they view drugs: it was a substance to experiment with."

The hangover has them saying, 'What the hell did I just do.'"

There were some cheers from the crowd. But mostly uncomfortable "ooohs." Mattera clearly enjoyed the role of bomb-thrower, unwilling to let up on his provocative rhetoric.

He declared that "even the slutty Obama girl has said her crush has faded," and then went on to make fun of the "feminist new black man" -- a "crossover between Rupaul and [Rep.] Barney Frank."

Among the other titles he applied the president was a "scrawny street agitator" and "jack-ass"

"Get your government off my freedom," he declared.

What I find really funny, oxymoronic actually, is how many POLITICIANS working in the US GOVERNMENT are so ANTI-government!

"Get your government off my freedom!" Says the government law maker. What a Donkeyhole!

My bad - I just read it again - this one isn't a politician - but you know you've heard this from many of the repub REPS in the last 12 months!

This dope calls Obama's election a drug induced regret? What would he say about Dubyah then?

Oh that's right, nothing! Hypocrisy isn't part of these right wing more-ons lexicon.

So what did these moral purists have to say about GW Bush who reputedly used coke and was a drunk until into his forties?

They problably called him one of the great living presidents and Americans of our time. Or so they'd like to.

I guess this Mattera is as clean as a whistle too. This particular picture show his eyes are glazed just like he's on a high from something. Bet if he was made to drop NOW he'd be out of a job.

Umm ok, lets drop a p ! s s test on these people at this CPAC and see how many of them test positive for cocaine....just say'n !!

[AllAboutNothing]

01:50 PM on 02/19/2010

OMG is this the best they can do? I agree let's demand a drop NOW see how many are clean including this little wanna-be who made the coached remarks. Nobody else wanted to take the chance but he did, wonder what his hidden agenda is?

It's funny how the GOP and the Conservative controlled media gave Dubya a pass on his cocaine-fueled past. And his DUI. And his service record. And lying the country into war. And fabricating intelligence about yellow cake uranium. And spying on us. And war crimes. And torture.

All that, and they have the gall to suggest Obama is out to destroy America. And the worst part is that far too many people swallow that crap. GAAAAA, the stupid burns!

What I find disconcerting is the ages of these folks, Rubio, Mattera, etc. How can they be SO narrowed minded so young? My kids are this age and I don't see that at all.

I wouldn't be surprised if they were home-schooled.

This right wing circus attacks drug use by Obama. What about all their heros in their party who were with mistresses and hookers? Is this the meaning of "family values" in their mind? If you are going to attack drug use, then you either have to attack ALL inappropiate behavior or your attacks are meaningless. Meaningless is a good description of today's GOP.

What a bunch of lies.

For example: Obama did not cut taxes for 95% of Americans.

42% of Americans who file taxes do not pay any taxes. Obams did not cut their taxes. You can not cut nothing.

[FullChat]

10:12 PM on 02/20/2010

Semantics. Obama cut taxes for 95% of taxpayers - note the word payers. This kinda eliminates the ones who don't pay taxes.

Obama's tax cuts were because of an economic emergency, not to celebrate a new war (as his predecessor did...)

[Rogan]

08:21 AM on 02/19/2010

I'm a little confused. I always thought that American freedom DID mean the freedom to snort cocaine. (Well, among other things... LOTS of other things, but cocaine is definitely on my list... even if it has been many years since I was young and healthy enough to EXERCISE that particular freedom...)

[MAJK]

Exactly. The republican party wants to be the champion of morality and social fascism - well, fine - but that can't be accomplished with less government... dolts.
