"Palin is playing that same card on the gamble that anti-elitism will trump her own inexperience, incompetence and lack of knowledge. She knows that the more pundits harp on these so-called deficiencies, and the more the media cover it, the more she can claim that they are really just engaging in an old sport: expressing contempt for ordinary Americans, of which she is the self-proclaimed political exemplar."
“It is commonplace among intellectuals that vast swaths of American popular culture are largely idiotic. What those intellectuals never understood is that the popular culture was often idiotic by design — as an act of hostility and aggression that continues to this day.”
I’ll admit that a vast array of what is considered pop culture can turn my stomache,but if this statement from the article is not elitist,please tell me what is?
The 1st amendment and free markets allow people to decide-for better or worse- what pop culture is, not the elites, which another thing the elites do not understand.
After starting reading her book no wonder the libs are scared like hell!!!
Good grief, this guy is an Obama boot-licker .. and he never has had anything even remotely realistic to say about Palin.
However, this is just more of the same .. the same mantra the left has been using against ANY conservative. We have to be dumb and stupid because we don’t agree with the liberals. That’s a phoney and false premise and we should never accept it.
Neal’s opinions were so offensive, he was removed from the weekend show on FOX. I’m sure I had something to do with it (along with a whole bunch of others, I’m sure) because I wrote to FOX more than once about his outrageous comments. I finally gave up and quit watching the program. It didn’t take long before Gabler was replaced.
Comparing Sarah Palin to Nixon is like comparing Mother Theresa to Hilary Clinton. They are not even on the same planet.
Neil Gabbler who should really be called Gobbler is a certifiable lunatic (there seems to be plenty of them about since Sarah Palin's book came out). This wild eyed crazy, has no business walking the streets, let alone being given space in any so-called newspaper in this country. He needs to be put a straitjacket for his own good.
