observations he made in a German magazine that tea-partiers weren’t “sophisticated,” being unfamiliar, as Rove was, with intellectuals like the economist Friedrich August von Hayek.

Hey Karl, I assure you that plenty of Tea Party folks are quite familiar with the works of Hayek, von Mises, and Rothbard.

I have about thirty books by those three, and Carl Menger, Eugen von Böhm-Bawerk. All were geniuses. Many Tea Party supporters are quite familiar with the Austrian School of economics.

As an aside, I consider Mise's Human Action to be a masterpiece of supreme intellectual thought. I my opinion, Mises' is an intellectual equal of Einstein.

We are also familiar with another elitist who got his due at Lake Como in April 1945. His most famous photo was made in Milan the next day. Rove would do well to learn his history.
