When I say this tuff about Democrats hating middle America, I'm not talking about the voting base of the party. They're too stupid to have independent thoughts anyway, as is the base of the Republican Party. I'm talking about the intellectual base of the party. The editorial boards of most newspapers, most network newsooms, college campuses, Hollywood, upper income areas of major urban centers, and the like.
Just look at Maureen Dowd, Thomas Friedman, and Paul Krugman and their most recent NYT columns, and then tell me they don't hate middle America. Its right there in print for all to read. This isn't conjecture, and its not something reasonable people can disagree about. The intellectual elite of your party has exlicitly stated their hatred of middle America.
Well.. what's not to hate? If someone is detestable, why shouldn't one hate them?
I think its very clear that the other side hate *us* in return. I'd say both sides hate one another equally, and for very good reasons.
