Where I correct a wrong

''Say Rodge, why is it that I can never have a decent political discussion with my Democrat friends? Whenever I bring up a salient point they cut me off with "where did you hear that crap from, Rush Limbaugh?" Why are they so goddamn stupid when it comes to politics?'' - A Reader
Now, now, bitter invective will get us nowhere.  They are not stupid, they are ignorant.  Okay some are stupid, like that asshole cashier at Giant, but most are well meaning ignorami. The reason is, they get all their information from basically one source, The New York Times.   See what I'm saying?  Try telling some Zulu motherfucker in the Amazon jungle that eating raw monkey brains is unhealthy.  Goes against generations of tribal knowledge, so they'll cut your head off if you persist.  Here's an example.

''Mrs. Clinton went on to say that she thought it was "unimaginable that anyone in the public eye could launch a vicious, mean-spirited attack on people whom I've known over the last four and a half years to be concerned deeply about the safety and security of our country.

"Perhaps her book should have been called 'Heartless,' " Mrs. Clinton said.

''Asked to respond to Mrs. Clinton, Ms. Coulter sent an e-mail message claiming that Bill Clinton had grossly mistreated women. "Before criticizing others for being 'mean to women,' perhaps Hillary should talk to her husband," her e-mail message said in part.''

That's how the NYTimes reported Ann Coulter's volley back to Senator Hillary in L'Affaire  New Jersey Bitches. ["Clinton Calls Comments on Widows Mean-Spirited" - By Raymond Hernandez]  Here's the part Ray left out.
"Before criticizing others for being 'mean' to women, perhaps Hillary should talk to her husband who was accused of rape by Juanita Broaddrick and was groping Kathleen Willey at the very moment Willey's husband was committing suicide."
See?  Ray knew that was the meat, but he just could not bring himself to ladle out cooked monkey brains to his customers, ergo - no Democrat in the universe is aware that Slick Willy is almost certainly a serial rapist, nor do they have a clue about Miss Hillary's malversation.  So, don't push it or they'll get all lathered and call you a Nazi.  Maybe even cut your head off.

In summary, calling Democrats ''stupid assholes'' is wrong.  Calling them ignorant assholes, instead, is not only accurate, but it may lead them to ask you how they can improve their understanding of things.  It's called psychology, and it's a good thing. Hope that answers your question.

yep...

Wonder what Ms. Rodham's reaction was, when Ms. Coulter provided a dose of reality in response?
