Tonite on Scarbrorough: Why Liberal Elites Hate Religion. Ooh! can't wait!
10 pm...don't miss it!

Gotta hand it to Big Joe! He really knows how to perfectly tie in GOP talking points with news of the day.

This one's probably got him really excited!

Liberal elites/liberal media/"liberals hate down home american values"
is his favorite mega-topic.

Gee, I wonder if Schiavo somehow had any influence on this!
How timely! He'll probably bring on one Liberal and 2 or 3 bible beaters (plus himself) for a fair "balanced debate" paced with ridiculously slanted premises and questions. Get a life, Joe!

1. Say: organized religion...
... not religion.

There's a big difference.

3. I'm an elite? I'm with the "in" crowd?
How soon will they tire of the religious sermonizing going on in this country?

6. If not, you must be a "lazy welfare cheat living off people who work"
and "getting government freebies." You're the reason other people have to endure the agony of working for a living.

I mean, those are the two stereotypes: liberal elitist, liberal bum.

13. Who knew?
Right now on my night table are these books that I am reading or going to read: by Thich Nhat Hanh, "Anger", "Teaching on Love", "Being Peace" and "Finding Our True Home". By Sumi Loundon, "Blue Jean Buddah". By Anne Lamott, "Traveling Mercies" and "Plan B". By Clark Strand, "The Wooden Bowl". And I am very liberal and pretty elite.

15. Liberal elites = right wing codespeak as "Democrat party"
and it's so tired and obnoxious. It's statistically easy to determine the richest americans, who normally are referred to as "elite", are largely republican. As well, the majority of legislation Republicans pass is for their "elite" base, not for their evangelical base. For the latter category, they employ rhetoric knowing that most of them are not sophisticated enough to conclude that they are voting against their best interests by voting for corporate owned Republicans.

17. That isnt really it.
Edited on Mon Mar-21-05 10:47 PM by K-W
Liberal elites refers to a group that does not actually exist. It is something of a conspiricy between the intelligencia, media establishments, wealthy northeasterners and hollywood.

It is supposedly the group that really runs things and that the conservatives claim to be up against. It is all a part of the conservative mythology built around paranoid overblown anti-communism.

19. yep. and the GOP laughs all the way to the Bank...literally
If their voting (evangelicals and poor simpletons) didn't hurt the rest of us, I'd feel bad for them.

But since it affects us, I have no pity for them, just rage.

20. liberals hate America
he must have read a few chapters of any Ann Coutler book for a primer and got all worked up. Of course all liberals hate religion, it's one of those "good" things that they have all the claim on. I bet he does bring up the Schiavo case. I think these topics are brewed up in some giant Republican think tank and disseminated out of their media out-lets. It's not real news. But Rush and Matt Drudge, and O'Reiley will be spouting it tomarrow...end of rant... phew
