“Palinosis is above all symptomatic of the visceral hatred the anointed have for the common herd.

Palin is quintessentially a Daughter of The People.”

Yeah, when you examine any comments thread on the Internet there is a remarkable divide between the self-descrbed “elite” and “intelligent” urbanites, as opposed to those who self-identify as “rural/traditional”. The former group accuses Palin supporters of anti-intellectualism, while the latter group accuses Democrats of arrogance. There may be an element of truth to both but the Obam supporters’ hubris can be pretty astounding. Just the other day on HuffPo if I’m not mistaken there was a hilarious post where one commentator said rural/conservative voters should leave voting to people “more intelligent than they are”. Scratch the Democrats’ populist surface and there’s a lot of anti-Democratic sentiment that shines through.
