Bill Kristol, in his weekly fecal smear for the Times, tried to gin up some fake outrage about Obama's comments. Five letters to the editor were on the Times web site today. None of them granted Kristol any of his points. Every one of them was able to analyze Obama's comments for themselves, and conclude that Obama hadn't been elitist, hadn't been bad-mouthing rural Americans, and instead had been criticizing government policies - specifically Republican policies - that have been screwing over the country for the last three decades of Republican hegemony.
Imagine that.
For the last several weeks, the Fake Outrage Group has been working overtime to manufacture some high dudgeon about these non-issues. They've not just dominated the discourse on these subjects, they've monopolized it. Nobody with an opposing or more temperate viewpoint has been allowed anywhere near a camera, microphone or printing press. And yet, for all their gyrations and effort, people are reaching their own conclusions and ignoring the bloviating of their self-annointed media betters.
Extraordinary.
