How is hicks and hillbillies not a elitist derogatory term in the context of what news they watch?

re: #133 albusteve

it’s not…it’s a social slur and he knows it…Ludwig admits to being an elitist and is proud of his education and stature

Ohhh it most assuredly is an elitist derogatory term. And you are correct, I have little patience for anyone so mentally addled that they think people like Beck or Palin are anything good at all. This is the 21st century, we simply do not have the time to coddle the stupid in the face of the challenges we face. If this were still an agrarian society, it really would not matter if stupid people believed stupid things as much as they do. However, these morons vote.

If they elect someone like Palin or any of the new GOP lineup into office, you can kiss science and sensible policy on technological or scientific issues goodbye.

Now you can call that elitist all you want. I personally don’t want to be part of a National Darwin Award.
