You're wrong

You're wrong. I don't like Daley. And I'm not a "brother". Fact is that Daley was voted for by majorities of all ethnic groups. I'm sorry if that fact is inconvenient for some people's self-indulgent "revolutionary" fantasies. The reason I'm coming down so hard on that rhetoric is that I'll wager I've got a good ten years on the little bigot from Indiana - I know the rhetoric all too well, I used it, and all it did was make me feel satisfied with my own righteousness. Treat people like human beings and try to understand them. When you call people "dumb-asses" and morons, that only tells me that you are doing this to feel superior to someone. Self-indulgent politics have got to go - we need a humanist politics. "Anti-intellectualism" - ha! What a laugh. Try taking your intellectualism in the workforce and seeing how far it gets. It might score points with the bosses but it won't help you take care of your family. Education is only useful if you can avoid turning into one of them, or aiding and abetting them. Don't turn your back on who you are. Right now, you're using their rhetoric - sorry.

Someone tell Hoosier that in her own state, immigrants were harassed and attacked by the KKK. Then maybe she wouldn't use these childish and self-indulgent comparisons to Nazi's.
