Disclosure and sex

Ooh, Krugman.

of which indicates that this idea was swishing round the left-wing that reads blogs and enjoys the NYT, which I'd suggest is a better definition of limousine liberal

I'm a limousine liberal?  Well, well.  Who knew?

I'm a limousine liberal?  Well, well.  Who knew?

I didn't say either definition works

[Razgovory]

I want to be a limousin liberal.  Though I suspect that term was concocted to allude to Jews.

Quiet boy.  I have to get my top hat on before I go to the Rainbow Room for my dinner with Rockefeller.

Anti-Yi left.

I think people read to much into Yi's anger at me.  I just do what to him what he does to everyone else.

OK, that book about Kansas, right?  I've heard of that.  Don't necessarily agree with his premise though.

And it's still a little difficult to reconcile a belief that the white working class clings to their guns and religion with holding them in esteem.

Ask yourself this question: if I do whatever it is I do to everyone else, why are you the only one who stalks me from thread to thread?

Dude, there's like 50 of us here.  We almost all post in every thread.

You're also the only one that didn't like my taxonomy of them.  Raz: contrary.

Well now we're arguing about Obama's comments, not about limousine liberal contempt. 

For what it's worth I don't think this quote is terribly contemptuous.  I actually think it's quite sympathetic:

You go into these small towns in Pennsylvania and, like a lot of small towns in the Midwest, the jobs have been gone now for 25 years and nothing's replaced them. And they fell through the Clinton administration, and the Bush administration, and each successive administration has said that somehow these communities are gonna regenerate and they have not.

    And it's not surprising then they get bitter, they cling to guns or religion or antipathy toward people who aren't like them or anti-immigrant sentiment or anti-trade sentiment as a way to explain their frustrations.

Apperently I'm stalking everyone here.

[Syt]

And some of you just don't talk politics enough for me to know where you stand.

I find talking politics or religion on the interwebs is like having sex with a nymphomaniac.

At first it's great, torrid fun. Then it becomes an exhausting, chafing grind. And in the end you realize there'll never be a mutually satisfactory conclusion.

[Ideologue]

Don't tell me what I would and wouldn't like.

I'm trying to argue that by not taking offense at Obama's comment, limousine liberals demonstrated their lack of esteem for the working class.

That's patronizing, which is a variation on contempt.
