Campaign Slogans That Probably Won’t Work, #1: “People Are Idiots”
Since I’m always the one who takes exception to the National Review yammering on about elitist liberals, I guess it behooves me to post this.
It’s been doing the rounds a bit, and as is the way with discussion boards that suddenly get linked to by the Wall Street Journal, it begins to exhibit a fascinating level of self-awareness about halfway down the response list, but the initial post stands as a truly horrifying instance of Jane’s Law, which sounds more and more plausible as time goes on.
Most of the responses that spring to mind (that’s unbelievably arrogant, that’s blatantly classist, that’s dumb as a frickin’ stone) have already been addressed by other posters, most eloquently in replies 90 and 189. Still, for God’s sake, people.
On the other hand, of course, let us not forget the charming Free Republic. A plague on both your houses.
