Since the recent Presidential election, much has been made about the relative IQs of Bush voters vis-a-vis Kerry voters. While there is some interesting anecdotal evidence that, depending on your point of view, may or may not corroborate the contention that Kerry voters on average have higher IQs, I’m not at all sure what this is supposed to say about us as a society.
What I do know is that, now that the election is over, Democrats need to come to grips with the reality that WE LOST. We may be disappointed, and we may even be bitter, but the reality is what it is. Questioning the intelligence of Bush voters, while it may provide a temporary feeling of superiority, only serves to make us look small, supercilious, and every bit as intolerant as we accuse Republicans of being.
Until we can get past the name-calling and the not-so-thinly-veiled insults, we will never be able to determine how we can get back to the top of the mountain. Unless, of course, we are willing to settle for throwing mud and offending Republicans.
One more proof of the moral and intellectual superiority of the Democrats -- making fun of individuals with developmental disabilities. By the way, your use of the word retarded in such a context is the equivalent of saying "NIGGER" or "KIKE".
Why don't you stat putting up more of the racist crap about Condi Rice, while you are at it? Or perhaps depictions of Paul Wolfowitz as a medieval hook-nosed Jew?
Stuff like this is morally indefensible. Take it from one who has spent time working as a professional with the developmentally disabled.
Greg,
has it occurred to you to READ what Northstar wrote underneath the graphic?
Never mind ... I was giving your comprehension the benefit of the doubt.
Sarah, don't you have a street corner to be working?
See the comment thread from the article posted at posted at 5:13 am to understand the reference above.
Greg, I'm afraid I'm with Sarah on this one. My piece is hardly a defense of these tactics. I'm tired of the insults, and I think it lowers all of us.
I don't mind you passing judgement, but at least read what I have to say first....
Greg, how hard do you have to work on that cranial density?
