Temo: Re:It's hard to do it because you have got to look people in the eye and tell them they're irresponsible and lazy. And who's going to want to do that? Because that's what poverty is, ladies and gentlemen."

The Usurper:
Are not rightwing attitudes towards poverty in general and the poor in
particular, overly critical?

No. They are not. They are right on. What is more important is why anyone on the left would want to perpetuate the myth that people can't pick themselves up by their bootstraps. The government is NOT the answer, it's the problem. Why work when the system allows you to do nothing and get paid? Only very hard cases deserve government help. But most can do somthing for themselves and they do nothing. And they are told not to worry, the government will help them. If you refuse to work, you don't deserve anything but society's contempt.

Do they not heap blame upon the poor for
being poor? Do they view the poor with more or less contempt?

They heap blame on those that offer excuses as to why the poor are helpless to help themselves. This is the lie of the left.
