It's The Condescension, Stupid. Why Gore Endorsed Dean.
Vanity ^ | 10 Dec 03 | .cnI redruM

Posted on 12/10/2003 8:53:29 AM PST by .cnI redruM

I never used to understand why liberals condescended to the rest of us and 'looked out for the little guy' in such an overtly insulting manner. Perhaps I was too busy rummaging my coffee table for heavy, blunt objects to chuck at the pixilated, smirking visage of Bill Clinton. As he denounced everything I believed in as a human being and accused me of being a backward troglodyte.

As I watched the highlight film of an over-satisfied and insufferable smug Al Gore endorsing an even more nauseating Howard Brush Dean III, something clicked. I remembered the rich, spoiled brats I used to fantasize about clobbering, during High School. These hateful, backstabbing, socialites later morphed into Howard Dean unless they were dosed with curative reality, early in their adult live. These guys insulted us because they enjoyed it. Smugness and brazen condescension are sources of joy to high-binding, overblown liberals.

Many of Harold Mean's campaign pitches are delivered amongst screaming mobs of facial-pierced, transgender, GnerationDean!! sycophants. They almost seemed aimed at making Harold Mean feel positive, rather than convince new people to vote for him. He draws power from the victims he almost inadvertently insults. It's like they are plugged into a matrix that powers Dean's continued self-obsessed joy ride to power and influence.

There was an almost Marquis De Sad quality to the resonant condescension waves, emitted by that Axis of Arrogance, consisting of Al Gore and Harold Mean. They believed they were a higher form of life, put on Earth to educate us rural and suburban pseudo-sapiens. They got off on believing that delusional fantasy. The audience in their thrall provided them with a love toy that worked better than the reflecting pool did for Narcissus.

Tapping a rhetorical kidney on the heads of working-class, conservative white Southerners relieves the untenable bladder pressure that seemingly accompanies the intellectual sarcoma of hyper-liberalism. Perhaps that bladder pressure explains some of the facial expressions these two men have while they exhort the grubby, unwashed liberal arts majors of the world to overthrow the tax base from whence their financial aide checks are ultimately drawn.

So what makes Al Gore and Harold Mean tick? Regrettably, it's not an explosive device, hard-wired to an old-fashioned wind-up alarm clock. Instead, these guys sneer at us with contempt because it feels good to gratuitously insult. It's as close as liberal true believers ever come to being charitable.

My thoughts, and I'll admit, a certain amount of phlegm and bile.

I've always thought that bullying behavior was over-compensation for some VERY deep seated insecurity. Some people are only able to feel good about themselves by tearing others down.

Luckily, we have the power to control whether they achieve their objective or not.

Not many who wish to be humble servants can be found anywhere....

Our savior and God (whose birth we celebrate this season)came to earth born in a humble stable..to working class parents.. ( stay at home mom and carpenter)

God (the Father) could have chosen any parents on earth...the educated..the wealthy..the powerfull...

God must know something about power and arrogance...we don't...

America was founded by such humble working class farmers..and tradesmen....and a patrician class that humbled itself..to serve..and lead by example...(rather than arrogantly rule over...
and tell us "character" doesn't count...)

A patrician class that in many cases gave up its wealth to the cause of Revolution and freedom
of all classes of Americans..is an American curiosity...lost on the likes of our present day aristocracy..
imo

I take my lime with a grain of salt, and usually with a shot of tequila. ;P

There is an interesting comparison between Gore and Dean. Consider their wives! Only two presidential wives over the past 70 years have been reviled by most true Americans, Eleanor Roosevelt and Hillie. Most others have been perceived neutrally, with some, Barbara Bush Ladybird Jphnson, attaining some degree of personal stature.

Tipper Gore has been visable and, in general, performed well. She attacked the pornographers of Hollywood's neocommunist elite, for example. But, where is Dean's wife? What is she hiding? Does Gore know that he loses nothing by backing Dean because Dean can not win the nomination because of his wife and that will allow Gore to step in?

Gore has avoided being one of the dwarfs. He has remained aloof. What better way to get in than to get rid of ALL the other dwarfs and then, get rid of the one he's allowed to lead? Where is Dean's wife and why is he ashamed of her?

Without the modern convenience known as spell check, the title very well could have read condensation.

Algore endorsed Dean because he believes Dean will be nominatied and maybe Dean will ask Algore to be his running mate.

Good phlegm and bile actually. Dean and Gore make my tummy churn too. Dean in fact, is Bill Clinton as far as morals go, hide and watch. I can feel it in my gut.

You're probably right plus it's an anti-Clinton move. Imagine that!! Now he wants to control the party and the US, too. He's just as dangerous as the Clintons and that voice drives me CRAZY!

Does anyone else think that Gore looks eerily like Hitler in this pic?

I think another aspect to this idea is that they are trying to 'fit-in' and be a part of the hip, cool, elite cliques. I think the problem with many, many of these people is that they still have the mentality of high school sophomores.

Gore is the kid in the front row apple polishing and showing off his fact checking brain to the teacher; frustrating the teacher and making the other kids despise him.

Dean is the wannabe jock cool guy hero type who skies, instead of proving himself on the battlefield. He is the abrasive kid who constantly picks fights but can't meet his opponent because Dean has a 2:00 dental appointment.

Kerry is the dork second stringer who really wants to do more than warm the bench. He wants to be hip, but is too gangly, gawky and scary to appeal to the cool chicks. He wants to smoke dope and do all of the wild things - like Gore - but both Gore/Kerry are afraid of getting a bad mark from the teacher.

Billy boy is the bullying stud who challenges anyone who threatens his stable of cheerleaders.

Hillary is the ugly duckling, more arrogant, smarter than Billy-boy but not pretty enough to be one of his cheerleaders. She does the physical makeover (and continues to do them - very telling). She wants control over the cheerleaders, the snobs, the jocks and everyone else who overlooked her and all that she believes she has to offer.
