In an AP story about the level of anger at Bush by Democrats (and 10% of Republicans), the following appears:
John McAdams, a political scientist at Marquette University, said resentment of Bush is particularly strong among liberals who already hold three things against him: “First, he’s a conservative. Second, he’s a Christian. And third, he’s a Texan. When you add all of those things up, that invokes pretty much every symbol of the cultural wars.”
“It’s particularly galling when somebody who mangles his syntax and doesn’t pronounce words extremely well and is from Texas beats you,” McAdams added.
I don’t know who the hell McAdams is, but such a patronizing, bigoted characterization is beyond the pale. So liberals are the anti-Christ and hate Texans? It’s particularly galling when stupid pundits mangle their 15 minutes of fame. Google the guy. A lot of people think he’s nuts.
