This Salon guy compares conservatives to horses. He quotes a commenter who says the townhallers are 'barely human.' Barney Frank compares a protestor to an inanimate object.<br /><br />The Dems are using a dehumanization strategy. For what? They've really gone cuckoo.whoframedrudyhttp://www.lesstalkmoreactivism.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4223398383609158624.post-39693191491033594842009-08-21T14:11:58.168-04:002009-08-21T14:11:58.168-04:00Good thing there are people like Gene Lyons to joc...Good thing there are people like Gene Lyons to jockey us around into acceptance of government hellth care.Dave Chttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13779153708960447630noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4223398383609158624.post-11576915536982859042009-08-21T13:45:34.950-04:002009-08-21T13:45:34.950-04:00Gene Lyons ...

Lyons' headline and closing chestnut flirt with the truth, but the body of the article is nonetheless devoted to the proposition that the voters in "rural states far from centers of power" are idiot dupes. <br /><br />The lack of self-awareness evident in the thesis "don't treat people like they're stupid; they're just like fearful horses!" is stunning.broken_quantahttp://brokenquanta.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4223398383609158624.post-13816888061626526092009-08-21T11:37:06.623-04:002009-08-21T11:37:06.623-04:00Yeah, here's my take on Lyons: http://www.theb...Yeah, here's my take on Lyons: http://www.thebrewdogblog.com/2009/08/americans-are-just-too-stupid-to-accept.html<br /><br />I love his analogy: his horse was irrationally scared of a fishing rod, town hall attendees are irrationally scared of ObamaCare.
