#1 Half the point of being a liberal in the first place is sneering at the common folk over coffee. It's not bigotry when we do it!

#2 I remember the personal check incident. It happened when I was in college. For reasons of family obligation, I was compelled to vote in the Dem primary that year, and I voted for him on the theory that at least the man paid his bills on time.

#3 I'm not sure I'd call him a prominent liberal. He's well known but not for any elected position he's held.

#4 ...but for the erected position he held. And whether it was prominent or not, only the 'Drunken hussy in a shopping cart' knows for sure.

Ok, I'll go to my room now.

#5 Yeah, Jerry's really sensitive to people who resent being looked down upon. I'll remember that the next time I'm clicking through channels and catch another glimpse of his audience cheering on another white trash cat fight or battle of the baby daddies.
He's full of shit.

#6 He may be generally full of sh*t, but that doesn't mean he is wrong about this. Make all the Caribou Barbie jokes you want, but Palin represents some very mainstream views. Doing the full Alinsky on her is going to piss off the people that identify with her positions.

#7 Right now there are exactly two politicians in America who can consistently fill an auditorium: Palin and Obama. And in Obama's case, I think folks are starting to shy away from the front rows.

#8 Matt I question whether Obama can still actually fill a room if half the persons present aren't paid political hacks and/or bussed-in union goons.

#9 If the people who resent being look down upon ever grasp that they are also being robbed on a trillion-dollar level...

#10 It's a lot more than a trillion...

#11 Obama and his minions haven't been filling large halls for quite some time.
