A blank stare followed by "What?" is the most likely response. Is it because America is a "nation of dodos" like some asshole elitist named Joel Klein of Time magazine thinks?
This virulent sentiment is echoed by the likes of Mr. Klein, Bill Maher and pretty much everybody currently writing for the New York Times' editorial page.
Just look at the White House's new communication policy (touched on in an earlier blog of mine) and you'll see that even the President of the United States thinks this of the average American as well.
It seems anybody that has the audacity to criticize the Obama Administration (legitimately or otherwise) is guilty of being either a racist or an idiot. If you don't think this is true just look at the way Sarah Palin or anyone affiliated with the Tea Party movement has been portrayed in the Mainstream media.
Ignorant, racist, tea-bagging rednecks. That's all they are. And they write notes on their hands, that's how stupid they are.
I've been seeing this brand of liberal elitism for as long as I can remember.
Why have a meaningful debate about anything when you can simply discredit the intelligence of the person making the argument? It's easier that way. There's no need for a rebuttal. It's 3rd grade tactics injected into national politics and I find it disgusting.
Person 1: "Hey, this new ObamaCare bill wants to add 47 million new people to the insurance rolls but does nothing to add to the number of doctors to treat all these new patients. Isn't that a problem that's going to lead to long waiting lists to see a doctor?"
Person 2: "You just don't want poor blacks and latinos to get proper health care."
Person 1: "No. What I'm saying is-"
Person 2: "Racist!"
Person 1: "Fuck you!"
End of debate.
