It's The Condescension, Stupid. Why Gore Endorsed Dean.

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.

Didn't even know Dean had a wife but it's becoming pretty noticeable that the Dems are campaigning WITHOUT their wives and that they've all been told to shut up.

Kinda like, there is only one wife we want to see, and that's Bubba's part-time whatever.

Where's Bubba lately? Did Hillary lock him in a closet or has he been a bad boy again and "BLACKMAILING" Hillary with it.

He's really got her, "ya know". All he has to do is drop us some more good news about ALL his relationships and it's "Why are you standing by this disgusting pervert" time". He'll get his revenge!!

OK, thanks for the nightmare picture! I will crawl on broken glass to vote against that combo...so is Gore going be Dean's VP choice because the poor victim didn't get the prize the first time?

Is that why Gore keeps saying "keep your eye on the prize" to black people?

Just wait til he starts giving hot-head Deanie-Weenie advice in that pedantic, snobby, lisping voice of his.

I'll take your phlegm and bile over their vomit anyday.

Hell, I'll take it over a ten dollar bill coming from them.

[Shenandoah]

Is it just me or is there anyone else here who can't stand the sound of Al Gore's voice? He sounds like a comedy act - an intentional parody of condescending smugness - clueless and vapid. And that accent - sheeeesh! If I thought I'd have to listen to that for four years I'd shoot myself!

Hillary is the ugly duckling...

Hillary is the class parlimentarian who found a loophole in the school's constitution and by-laws that allow a single student to take control of not only the school, but the entire school district, the PTA, and the board of education!

"Howard offered to pull my finger, when no one else would. C'mon up here, Howie..."

Room erupts in pandemonium as audience panics and tries to flee. Three Democrats trampled in Walmart-style pileup at door.

go ahead... I dare ya'

For future reference, the Marquis' name is spelled "de Sade". And his books are fascinating and not at all what you would expect, given modern "Sade-ist" (aka sadist) culture. Pronunciation is "deh SAHD".

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

When I saw Al on television last night this was my first thought. My second thought was that he had the distinct appearance of a person with a bipolar disorder: beady unfocused eyes, a strange giddiness and a noticeable asymmetrical quality to his face. My third thought was horror: to imagine that there but by the grace of god and a few thousand Floridian numb-skulls who cannot read a ballot could be the president of the United States.

"Hey Howie, you got a piece of schmutz in the corner of your mouth, left over from lunch. Here - let me wipe it off - it's just not classy to be making speeches with pieces of taxpayer still on your face."

[Shenandoah]

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!

[.cnI redruM]

My high school was bad enough. That place sounds like a horror movie.
:)

[Shenandoah]

So, that's the way it is, huh, Howie? You'll pull Al's finger, but not mine.
Well, here it is, Howie! I challenge you to pull it!!

[.cnI redruM]

You can hit the mute button on his voice. It's his ideas that can kill people.

Oh well, some days I need more than FR's spell checker can provide. Alas, I went to public schools.

But, where is Dean's wife? What is she hiding?

Dean's wife has always avoided politics, making only very rare appearances as a First Wifey.

Actually, this is about the only positive thing I've seen about the Dean candidacy. I'm completely sick of all the First Wifey types in either party. They should be seldom seen and never heard. Admittedly, Laura Bush does fairly well at this. It actually gives her, in my mind, a far greater personal dignity than if she were some Hitlery-style Co-President.

In a post-feminist era, the whole First Lady thing is even more outdated and ridiculous than having beauty pageants.

As far as damaging info about Dean and his wife, I think that one or both have performed abortions. Howie is ticklish on the subject. Notice how when he recently railed against the politics of 'God and guns and gays', he somehow neglected to mention abortion?

I think that one or both are babykillers. And it even more fully qualifies them to lead the Dim party. If this becomes public, no one in the Dim party will be able to keep the nomination away from Howie.

I thought that bad comb-over looked familiar!

[George W. Bush]

Judith Dean's picture and a long page at Dean's site about why she doesn't do politics. And she's not actually ugly, going by the Eleanor Roosevelt standard of beauty in the Dim party. She looks a good deal like Marilyn Quayle but has a little more healthy appearance and an outgoing style by comparison. Unlike Hitlery who only pretended to be a career woman while doing little more than trading on Bill's official status as governor or president, Mrs. Dean always has been an independent professional. Howie became a doctor after she did.

Judith Dean's biography will not really disappoint the feminist wing, unlike Hillary who continues to embarass them.

[Can't hardly believe Dean's webmasters haven't blocked third-party content links from Free Republic yet!]

I thought that bad comb-over looked familiar!

Howie's doing a fairly artful combover too. Look close at the TV shots.

But his hair will hold out through the general election better than Gore's did in 2000.
