How do you think we should reach the people who make the "Hussein" comments and who disdain college degrees. What tactics do you suggest?
I'm sure you'll have just as much success with this moniker as you did with ShawnWM. Will you be committing Hara Kiri when the Black Antichrist wins in November?
I think the problem is more about misconceptions on both sides. I don’t believe that there are many people who “disdain college degrees.” But there are many people who resent being made to feel inferior because they lack a degree. The Democrats are supposed to be the party of the working class. How are working class people to trust Democrats if we talk about them as if they were livestock?
I think “rural, uneducated, working-class” people would vote for someone named Mohammed Hussein Ahmadinejad if they believed he understood their plight and actually gave a damn.
