What do you say to a patronizing comment like that?

I would have put on an accent like Topol's in the movie "Fiddler on the Roof" and said, "Thank you, your honor. How often does one get a compliment like THAT?" But I never get the chance to use that line (never get compliments!)

On one occasion I faked out a lib (unintentionally). He had prejudged me as another lib, so he was astounded to discover that I considered Slick Willie to be a lying charlatan. Nevere did find out the basis of his wrong judgment. Maybe I look like a liberal weenie or something. This is not a comforting thought....

He probably thought that, since you have all your teeth and can put two words together coherently, that you must be a liberal. Oh yeah, you wasn't wearing a swastika, so that was a "tipoff." Liberals think they are the only true human beings on the planet.

Another thing I would have said to the liberal woman, mentioned in this article, if she had said the patronizing comment: "You want me, don't you?".
