As a consequence of my job description, I monitor the comments left on various posts and there’s a clear narrative being disseminated prior to the upcoming midterm elections: the Tea Party, independents, and anyone with the audacity to oppose Democrats are uninformed, clueless, stupid, dumbasses.
Just ask Massachusetts senator John Kerry…
“We have an electorate that doesn’t always pay that much attention to what’s going on so people are influenced by a simple slogan rather than the facts or the truth or what’s happening.”
This is clearly nothing new.
Progressives have always looked down their noses at those who have the nerve not to think as they do, and are now relying on those they’ve indoctrinated via academia and entertainment. Young people (reciting specific talking points) are taking aim on those who are about to undo all things Hope and Change.
christine o’donnell and sarah palin sadly show how uneducated and ignorant my fellow americans are

The New York Times even featured a piece, Poll Finds Tea Party Backers Wealthier and More Educated. How ironic this being one of the few instances where progressives ignored a finding of their treasured New York Times. Granted this is also Alinsky 1.01, but I’ve always wondered how you could persuade someone to come over to your side while you also issue that person your finest in unbridled hate.

While insisting conservatives are “extreme” (like this Congress and those who support them can talk), liberals have granted themselves the right to use every pejorative they’ve made taboo within our society. They can attack on the basis of class, I.Q., gender, race, and they’re encouraging young people to do so within the anonymity of the home computer.
For example, on someone supporting Christine O’Donnell…
You arent winning you dumb shit. You are getting the nomination but during the general election you are causing republicans to lose seats that they SHOULD be winning. Your pyshcopath movement is going to be a flash in the pan. And Obama WILL be re elected. Trust me. Especially if you prop up one of these tea party quacks to run.

They righteously declare our “war is lost” while ignoring almost every poll out there. Surely Capitol Hill Democrats wouldn’t be jetting out of D.C. early to campaign if their reelection was in the bag. They’d campaign on passing health care reform and would want to be seen with their fearless leader.
Yet grammatically-challenged, public school undereducated punks are going all out dissing the intelligence of others. One would think they would utilize spell check and simple punctuation when going there.
Hate is a blinding force.
I would rather my tax dollars help working America – not hedge fund managers, banks and war profiteers (Republicans). You’re a member of the nuzi party. Live with it. You won’t win again in November. Most of America isn’t as stupid as you. BTW – Fuck you.

What concerns me is what happens after November 3rd and who will really be the dumbass?
For those of us who were paying attention to politics before holding up an Obama sign, in 1994 when the Republicans won control of the House and Senate, the first thing Democrats publicly demanded was that they now be able to “share” power. This despite their well-known tradition of shutting out opposition amendments to their legislation, blaming Republicans for non-passage of bills Democrats have the numbers (but not full support) to pass, false accusations of racism, sexism, starving children, throwing seniors onto the streets, polluting water and air, yada yada.
Should Democrats receive the ass-whuppin’ predicted, that should be a clear enough rejection that will keep them far away from any table when it comes to repairing the damage they’ve done to the economy and the nation’s psyche. The progressive squeal and subsequent demand they be heard should be summarily dismissed by the new party in control.
It was a despondent night for Democrats, as a parade of White House officials, rather than giving grudging congratulations to the Republicans, challenged them to be more constructive than they have been in Congress this year.
— New York Times, November 9, 1994
Expect similar hubris and expectations from current Obama officials and their bummed out media punditry.
The Republicans should not make the same mistake Scott Brown made and be afraid to be seen with the date that brought him.
Until then, enjoy the liberal attacks on the intelligence of those they call “teabaggers”, “dumbass” and “looser”. Remember the insults the left will deliver from now until the election… AFTER the election.
Newly empowered conservatives succumbing to political, media and liberal activist pressure may prove them right.
““We have an electorate that doesn’t always pay that much attention to what’s going on so people are influenced by a simple slogan rather than the facts or the truth or what’s happening.” – John “Fraud” Kerry (D-MA)
Right… Hence, the effectiveness of “Hope” and “Change”…
Does Kerry forget “Hope and Change,” that snazzy slogan for the Obama campaign?
Or is Kerry still bristling over the “Swiftboating” in his Presidential campaign?
World history abounds with murderous Statists like Mao, Stalin, Pol-Pot, Castro and Chavez. Even Obama’s buddy Ayers suggested that 25 million people should be put in concentration camps and exterminated. THAT is the Statist mindset — to get to utopia, we have to kill all that want to prevent it.
So, Kerry is suggesting that we would embrace Statism is we only knew about the wonders of utopia under government control.
Kerry personifies the parasitic elitist class that we sell everyone else into slavery.
Unbridled, unmerited arrogance. This must be the characteristic underlying all supremacists. Since we know this is a characteristic and attribute of certain people regardless of incidental features, I wonder if it is a product of nature, nurture, or some combination thereof.
As for their supporters, their status will be necessarily transient by the very fact that they have chosen to betray their fellow citizens, and only a moron would trust someone without integrity.
Herman Munster forgets his comment to college kids about doing well in school of getting stuck in Iraq. Leftie’s seem to think they are all smarter than everyone else because of their “progressive” thinking.
In case you have forgotten this pic:

or getting stuck in Iraq.
@IT Nerd: Thanks for the reminder and the link. I just LOVE it when transparency works and we get to SEE into the hearts and minds of the elites. I went to a small-town fair today wearing a Republican’s campaign button and was TRULY a skunk at the lawn party. I left wondering if I now have a deeper empathy for all minorities who’ve been shunned and marginalized. (Like those college flunkies who end up in Iraq)
In the spirit carried forward by Kerry, I offer Netflix CEO Reed Hastings:
Another Day, Another Apology From Netflix; Calls Americans Self-Absorbed
(via Netflix CEO: Americans Are Self-Absorbed)
THR: Are you concerned that American Netflix subscribers will look north and ask for the same discount Canadians get at $7.99?
Hastings: How much has it been your experience that Americans follow what happens in the world? It’s something we’ll monitor, but Americans are somewhat self-absorbed.
and the apology:
Apologies

My Big American Foot is in my mouth. …
Is he criticizing Americans or himself?
Reed Hastings Contribution List in 2008
Hint: He’s a Democrat and Obama fan.
I don’t think he likes us.
KILLER column. reminds me of the reference to 1994 I saw thursday on the MRC’s website
The left is so disgusting.
Yes, when the people vote for and like them…….oh then the American people are smart and pay attention to issues. But when their votes learn to the right, then suddenly everyone is stupid and being duped and listening only to slogans
When Madame Guillotine arrives to each county square they will still be declaring their superiority as the tumbrels roll.
Lazarus Long:
You would think that lesson would have been sufficient. Apparently not. They seem willing to take their head in their own hands yet again. Given the level of division in our nation, I think a flip of the coin will decide our fate.
Head = Madame Guillotine
Tail = progressive totalitarianism
“We have an electorate that doesn’t always pay that much attention to what’s going on so people are influenced by a simple slogan rather than the facts or the truth or what’s happening.”
True only when you were elected, Senator Kerry.
I always think of him as “Stenator Kerry,” due to that stupid stentorian voice he affects.
Ilion:
He shares that trait with Obama. For some, it is the siren’s song. For others, it is the fingernails scraping across the chalkboard. Either way, it is painful.
While alleged-American Obama’s voice may be an affectation, it doesn’t seem stentorian to me.
I just LOVE the “Insult em til they agree with you” strategy.
Talk about counter-intuitive!

“I would rather my tax dollars help working America…” — KJamesB
Wonder how this guy feels about the House and Senate bills proposing to take about $16bn tax dollars a year until 2015, (as if estimates are ever accurate, and as if this program would actually end in 2015, when “education equality” has been reached), and sending them to various countries for “education” purposes. (democrat bills, BTW)
