5. and one actually trained in politics is either an "ivory tower elitist" and/or a "career politician"

they've got an insult for any democrat at the ready, and they're eager to shut us down.

of course, right-wing celebrities are fine (donnie, ronnie, etc.), christian athletes are fine (tebow), etc.


we on the left make the mistake of trying to make logical sense of the crap they spew. it's all about loyalty for them. if you're on the left, they insult you, and the important thing is that they insult you and shut you down. there's no logic, not even an attempt at it. there's little to no truth, they don't care about that.

it's all about loyalty. cheer our side, insult their side.

that's all there is to it for them.

yay us!

boo them!

Case in point: Both Reagan and Obama called the holocaust "senseless". Three guesses who was called callous and ignorant of history.
