Uh, no, I meant the stereotypical wealthy liberal who has probably never actually met a black person, except for the servants.

Sure, there's a stereotype of a completely out-of-touch wealthy person that doesn't even have a political component, and another of out-of-touch wealthy conservatives.  But there's also a stereotype of the limosine liberal, too, which was the one I was discussing.

I don't think that's something that's true of a stereotypical limousine liberal, at least not anymore. There's depictions of that type on tv all the time, and there's always black people moving around in their circles. The stuffy exurban rich lily-white stereotype is more likely to be connected with conservatism.

The knock on limousine liberals was/is that they espoused liberal values without having any skin in the game.  I.e. soft on crime but live in the suburbs, in favor of school busing but send their kids to private school.  Not that they didn't know any blacks and certainly not that they were bigots.

For one, it says that he's very willing to buy into the most cartoonish and completely groundless stereotypes of the people he disagrees with politically.  Basically, that he's a Fox News drooling vegetable.

I wasn't suggesting that they were bigots, just completely out-of-touch.  Someone who's an actual bigot wouldn't likely be paying for an ad that says "Everyone deserves to be treated equally".  They probably think having a live-in maid is "normal" too.

And I did say that it was a stereotype, not an accurate description of any large number of people.  OTOH, there must be (or used to be) at least a few people who conform to the stereotype, or otherwise how did it become a stereotype in the first place?  Or how the hell else do you explain that ad, anyway (assuming that Viper is right)?

Sometimes I wish I had :mellow:

Hmm.  I wouldn't have minded being born about 20 years earlier.  I would have come of age in a much better economic climate, and I'd be about to retire now.  On the downside, I would have had to live longer before some creature comforts became commerically available, and I might have been drafted (though if all else was the same, I'd have still been 4-F anyway).

The knock on limousine liberals was/is that they espoused liberal values without having any skin in the game.  I.e. soft on crime but live in the suburbs, in favor of school busing but send their kids to private school.  Not that they didn't know any blacks and certainly not that they were bigots.

That's always how I've heard it defined as well. This new definition seems like something a really conservative person came up with.
Yeah. And even then my stereotype would be that they were hyper-PC in their language if not in their actual conduct.

You might want to re-word that.  It makes you sound like you were fashionable when it was fashionable to be racist, but now that racism is out of fashion, you are no longer fashionable.
