one of their most well worn negative frames is INTELLECTUALS!

During the 90s, when I could not avoid hearing talk radio, particular Rush, there were these select evil people he demonized. One of them was the INTELLECUALS!

I remember hearing about all these wicked and america hating people and being amazed at how damaging so few could be, given I didn't know any.

But, what I learned was that most often, it was ...

Projection.

For all the babbling about INTELLECTUALS, they have a NEVER ending stream of half witted twits like Brooks, Will, Krystol, Krauthammer who sanctimoniously put forward all this high minded bullshit that makes absolutely no practical sense.

End of the day, more of that it all is - trying to pretty up trickedown economics.
