Say it loud: I'm elite and proud!

Why is the country run by people who celebrate mediocrity and recruit from Pat Robertson's law school? Because the right-wing crusade to demonize elites has succeeded.

    Coulter Equivalence

    I'm tired of hearing about how this or that commentator is the 'liberal Ann Coulter'. No such person exists. If you find yourself a left-wing demagogue who is featured on almost every news show on every network at least once, and is a regular visitor to at least one network, someone who laughs about the idea of terrorists killing Americans that they disapprove of, someone who bemoans what a slow process genocide is; if you find that person, then we'll have the 'liberal Ann Coulter'. Until that time, however, all we have is right-wing sheep trying to convince themselves that Coulter's unsubstantiated bile is OK because Michael Moore or Bill Maher don't like the current administration.
