new rightwing buzz word -- "elite media"...
class envy arrives at rightwing radio.

Apparantly the wealthy - who own, run and control corporate media conglomerates want their brain-dead listeners/followers to embrace the thought that anyone who asks a relevant, hardhitting question must be one of those "rich elites".......

More mind control for the Limbaugh/Hannity sheep.

3. Just for giggles, I went and put "elite bush" in Yahoo
Man, the first place was bilderber.org and the second was something about Bush Bounty Hunters. Pretty funny stuff all around! Go ahead, do the search, it's fun!

I love how they can take "elite" and try to make it sound bad. "Elite" means the best at something:

elite special forces
elite athletes
elite champion dogs
etc.

A fucking legacy Yalie....that's the elite (in the "bad" way they want to use the word).

6. When did it become a virtue to be ignorant in this country?
Either I am totally paranoid, or we are starting to look more and more
like Nazi Germany--the ignorant, small-minded, bigoted feeling superior
to the educated and "elite" as defined by the ignorant.
