Out of curiosity I went to a blog called "right wing news" to see how "the other side" viewed things. I came upon an article on this blog entitled, "Pretentious Snobbery Versus Common Sense." The article was contributed to the web site by a Dr. Melisa Clouthier. The attached photograph was included in the article and entitled, "Red Sonja Palin".
Her article started out with the following opening paragraph;
"Sarah Palin inspires vitriol for many reasons among the smug knobby-headed class. The latest unguarded moment came courtesy David Brooks who called Sarah Palin a "cancer on the party" to a group of writers from The Atlantic. (As AllahPundit points out, this outburst is a lot like Peggy Noonan's opinion, also caught in an unguarded moment. And, of course, it differs little from Barack Obama's "gun clinging" comment."
The article went on to ask. and answer, why do they dislike her so?
1. Her state school education and path to power devalues the elite's Harvard training.
2. She's homespun. Intellectuals despise homespun. They prefer the calculated indifference they've worked so hard to master over the years.
She went on to say that "for those in the elite class, who go to parties and hang in social circles, they spend their time telling themselves a story: the story is that middle America is consumed with the provincial, and that the provincial is horrible. The DC elites are no different than the actors in Hollywood. No wonder they all pal around together.
Is this some type of class warfare? Aren't there just as many "DC elites' and "actors in Hollywood" who are conservatives? Hmmm??
