More Leftist hate speech

These guys are just overflowing with hate:
The Iowa caucuses may not have much predictive value, but they did a wonderful job of unmasking both elitist whingers on the left and incompetent whiners on the right.

As they do every presidential election cycle, progressives of pallor wore their indelible disdain for Middle America on their sleeves. Pale-faced University of Iowa journalism professor Stephen Bloom launched a 6,000-word jeremiad, littered with factual errors, against his home state's residents. The abridged version: Raaaaaaaacists! Hicks! Christians! Argggh!

In the safe harbors of The Atlantic just a few weeks before Tuesday's electoral event, Bloom sneered: "Those who stay in rural Iowa are often the elderly waiting to die." The rest are "(a)n assortment of waste-toids and meth addicts with pale skin and rotted teeth or those who quixotically believe, like Little Orphan Annie, that 'the sun will come out tomorrow.'" One of the poison-tongued prof's own former journalism students, Kirsten Scharnberg Hampton, took him to task for citing faulty demographic statistics, derisively stereotyping hunters and falsely accusing a local newspaper of "splashing" the headline "He Is Risen" across its front page (it was a small, boxed quotation marking Easter Sunday).

The above report is by Michelle Malkin. She uses the word "whingers", which I believe is not common in the USA. It's often used in Britain and Australia where it refers to the sort of petulant sound that an overtired baby or toddler might make -- or any constant low key complaining

"Whingers" is most likely a typo, for "whiners."

And people wonder why newspaper and magazine subscriptions are tanking...if you insult your customers, they're not likely to come back for more.

A perfect example of American academia. It also shows why it so often fails at it's basic mission. Someday, perhaps, people will catch on. Maybe.

Matt -

I believe Michelle used both whingers and whiners in the same sentence...

elitist whingers on the left and incompetent whiners on the right.

I'm pretty sure she knew what she was doing, and did not make a "typo."

Someone should take out an add in his hometown newspaper urging him to move out of the state since he has such disdain for his fellow residents.

I wonder what he thinks of the voters for turning out those three activists liberal judges in 2010?
