NBC's Andrea Mitchell gives her take on the state of Iowa while covering the upcoming caucus. Mitchell makes her feelings about the Midwestern state to the viewers, opining that "the rap" on Iowa is that it is too white.
"The rap on Iowa: It doesn't represent the rest of the country, too white, too evangelical, too rural. Still here, politics are personal," Mitchell said on Sunday's broadcast on NBC's "Nightly News.

So she’s a native born American, but what’s her ancestry? How many generations of Americans are in her ancestry? I am curious about the “American” familial descent that produces Americans such as her. Meaning those that have scorn for everyday Americans and divide Americans into racial groups, etc. Those who see America as a buffet table of independent dishes, in which some those dishes are superior, while others, which may include the tried and true, should be tossed into the garbage can. They see it that way, rather then as a melting pot or a soup kettle, where all the ingredients, come together to compliment and blend into one delicious, nutritious united dish.
You: “I notice she did the usual “there are some who say” which basically translates to “the person sitting next to me on the bus”.”
Me: I took it to translate as “In order to appear unbias, I will pretend it isn’t me saying and believing this and say that “there are some who say.” That way, maybe those listening to me, will think that there is a majority of people who think and say this and it’s not just something I think and believe and therefor would be called to task over.”
No doubt Andrea believes New York City = “Middle America.”
Sure point taken but in many cases it amounts to more or less the same thing. Unless you believe that the press “corps” is composed of vibrant, intellectual, independent deep thinkers (I don’t) then Journolist A’s “opinions” are probably very highly correlated with Jounolist B’s “opinions”.
I doubt seriously that any of these geniuses actually “think” in the commonly understood meaning of the term. I think they mostly parrot and regurgitate.
Hey Andrea...why don’t you take a vacay away from you damned Georgetown Condo and take a walk on the wildside where I used to live: Prince Georges County, Marlow Heights.....28th Avenue..... you won’t see any white people there, luv..... you can have all the black you want.
Mrs. Greenspan seems to be at least second generation American-born if one considers New York American.
The common denominator for Anti-American attitudes seems to be universities, as there are plenty of Mayflower descendents who are America-haters.
Andrea’s indoctrination was at the University of Pennsylvania, which, despite its name, is a private Ivy League reeducation camp.
Too Stupid or is it Too Ignorant? Then again it could be both, I suppose.
“Some say” is the classic perky Katie Couric line. Somebody should sell a talking Katie doll that repeats that!
That’s okay. There is no danger of her being fired for this kind of racial hate speech.
