Another Loser Meme
As you can see below, in the wee hours, I was further exploring the post-election recriminations of Democrats who believe, frankly, that Republicans and others that voted for GW are just too dumb to "get" the far superior, tolerant, true-American Democratic message.
Well, it looks like another meme is raising it's ugly head ... that somehow anyone that doesn't live in New York City and personally experienced 9/11 has no business voting about it.
Michele does another masterful essay exposing this snarling insanity using one of the most insane of snarlers, Ted Rall. [geez, Michele, it takes courage to slug through Rall's hatred]. Here's the money quote:
Terrorism? Please, if you live in Mississippi or Colorado or Alaska, don't presume to talk about, much less cast your vote based upon, your "views" of Islamist terrorism. New Yorkers don't lecture you about hunting. Butt out of our business.
This is not just elitism, this is downright aristocracy .. the call that says on matters of importance Rall and his ilk feel only they have the right to both an opinion and a vote.
It no longer matters to them that GW was elected with a majority of the vote (something that didn't happen for Clinton). Last time they declared the Presidency of GW as "illegitimate", now they are declaring the voters who elected GW as illegitimate.
