Liberals, being the intellectuals they are, talk above the heads of the average voter.

LOL I see the so called "Layman" conservatives manhandling progressive talking points all over twitter every day.

“Progressives Don’t Dumb Things Down for Public Consumption, Hence Midterm Loss”

This is sometimes referred to as “an appeal to sophistication”. Classic leftist reasoning trick.

They’ve been singing this lame song for the last thirty years. Democrats always talk about how they’re the intelligent party, and all the stupid people are Republican, but whenever the Democrat party needs votes, where do they look? The welfare office, the unemployment office, they try to register felons, or make voting easy enough for people too stupid to know how to get a photo ID or fill out a registration card. They scan the nation looking for morons and shuffle them into the voting booth, confident that the idiots will vote for the Democrats.

This doesn’t work on the internet, because they just google an answer, but in your real life, when some liberal starts talking about how dumb Republicans are, ask them some simple political, historical or current event questions. Ask them who the president of Mexico is, ask them to define quantitative easing, ask the to discuss the effects of the Kelo decision. Invariably, they will stand there with their mouths open but silent because they don’t know a damn thing about anything.

Instead of knowledge they fill their heads with snark and bluster.

..which means, in essence, those liberal mouthpieces don’t understand the message themselves...;

So he’s saying that they forgot how to communicate with their low-info voter flock?

Interpretation [for those who are too stupid to understand what Mr. Madison said]:

[Didn't Mary Landreau say something similar in Louisiana a couple of weeks ago?]

Oh, he knows that only the intelligentsia watch the show or even care, so, this is not a problem.

Basically, a fine display of the loathing and contempt that the Dems have for the “little people”.

Put it where the goats can get it.

Then stab the goats with zerocare, inedible school lunches, deadly imported diseases, Benghazi, etc and chatter amongst yourselves where did the goats go? Simply baffled, they are.

20 some years ago, I use to listen to Joe on the old WRC talk radio in DC. He didn’t seem that stupid back then. And I guess he must think the race baiting Dem lines were ‘too’ smart for the targeted audience to understand.

The goats have seen it, swall0wed it, eliminated it, and determined it is good only for fertilizer.
Once again the Democrats have concluded they didn’t get their message out.
I’m very tempted to suggest they continue to believe that.

The only person that I have ever heard in politics who actually used words that I had to look up in a dictionary as he was talking was William F. Buckley.

And he didn't really talk "down" to his audience. He actually lifted people's thoughts to a higher plane.

These liberals have made it their mission to talk to their audience with condescension.

Big difference.

Why should I tune into their programs when all they do is verbally hit me upside my head as if I were an idiot?
