What the Left Thinks of Average Americans

It's not hard to see the elitism and snobbery on display when TRex says all Republicans are grossly overweight, whacked out, gun-lovin' rednecks.

Let’s get something straight here. The reason the Republicans are running from a YouTube debate has nothing to do with embarrassing themselves and everything to do with the horror that is the Republican base (see video above). Imagine a whole two hour debate composed entirely of questions from men lovingly cradling their assault rifles, matronly polyester-swathed frumps of much avoirdupois braying and squawking about abstinence-only education and the danger of Harry Potter in our schools, angry old men taking a break from standing on their porches shouting, "Get the hell out of my yard!" to stare Mike Gravel-like into the camera and demand to know what the candidates plan to do about "th’ dayumn Mexicans".

Hmm. Has TRex been to Dallas or Fort Worth lately? Believe it or not, I still have every one of my teeth. And while I could afford to lose some weight, I'm nowhere close to 300 lbs.

According to the Democrat stereotype, everybody who votes Republican is a disgusting display of prejudices, obsessions, and compulsions without rational reasons or experiences that lead to their opinions about a wide range of issues. Compared to that, a snowman questioning candidates on global warming doesn't look stupid or crazy. It's sensible! Just like shrieking about the Council on Foreign Relations and other conspiracies is normal behavior. I mean, Democrats can't make up their minds if the Bush administration knew about 9/11 before it happened, and that's a sane position, right?

I'm sure glad TRex made it clear that intolerance, hysteria, conspiracy whack jobs, and racists and bigots only happens on the right.
