Taken from an article over at DU. I don't know where to start. I am especially fond of the sentence that begins with "In a country where more than half the population falls below the average IQ" What more can I say. "I really think the problem is that we as liberals are in general far more intelligent, well reasoned and educated, and will go to astonishingly great lengths to convince people of the integrity and validity of our fair and well thought out arguments. The audience, in case anyone has been paying attention, isn't always getting it! I suspect the problem is not the speaker - it is most of the audience. Our problem with getting our message across to people outside "the choir" is our understanding of the intelligence of our greater audience. [In a country where more than half the population falls below the average IQ, we aren't playing our cards right.} I agree that vituperative language and bellicose attacks do more harm than good and should be avoided, but likewise, 30 minute speeches don't play to the 30 second attention-span crowd, and these are the guys whose single-minded lack of attention to details and whose votes in swing states are giving us heartburn."
