The Political Environment: Why GOP Elitists Hate Huckabee

Thursday, January 3, 2008

Sharp analysis, here. Seems it's all about class.

James Wigderson said...: Or the writer's lack thereof.

I admit I had a hard time getting past these two sentences:
"The language is coded, as it usually is with class and race in this country. The Wall Street Journal, the anti-tax jihadists at the Club For Growth, the National Review – these pillars of Old School Republicanism have signaled that Huckabee is Not One of Ours." What code is the use of "jihadists"? (Is Jim Rowen a Great Lakes water jihadist?)

Fun, the Marxist interpretation of bourgeoisie political party formation. But I miss the days whe religion was the opiate of the masses.

As Mike Huckabee might say, "Any stick to beat a dawg is a good one."; January 4, 2008 10:08 PM
