(aside: Was ich mit Interesse verfolge ist die Tatsache, dass bei "Linken" die Gegenseite gerne als "böse", "unmoralisch" charakterisiert wird derweil Sie und die "Rechten" eher auf "Naivität" und "Dummheit" zurückgreifen, blöd find' ich beides.)

Zitat von Shannon Love

Most Palin haters have no clue where she stands on specific policy issues and they really don’t care. All they care about is the type/kind of person they imagine her to be.

You would think that at least someone would take five minutes to cobble together a counter-argument showing that her stance on various policy issues was so outside the mainstream that it justified their extreme revulsion. Clearly, no one believes this is necessary. They don’t believe it necessary because they all take it for granted that they are clearly superior people to Palin and all they are required to do is point that out.

Leftism is based on the idea that a special intellectual elite have a vastly superior understanding of how the world works, and therefore what public policy should be, than the vast majority of people. From that axiomatic assumption, it follows that any member of the elite will make better decisions about any subject than any member of the non-elite.
