“Personally, I’m not a fan of this movement. But I can certainly see its potential to shape the coming decade.”
So ends the sophomoric and sneering rant against the tea party movement by David Brooks. If he had written this in the first few sentences of his New York Times column, most people would not have needed to read his entire piece.
Why should anyone from the tea party movement read the piece? After all, tea party members are too stupid to understand it according to his dictum.
Brooks seems to believe that the tea party movement contains an uneducated rabble not capable of making up their own minds. You see, the tea party movement is against things merely because their educated betters are for it.
That Brooks delivers this vitriol-filled diatribe in the New York Times should surprise no one. It is obvious that he believes that his paymasters want him to write another piece where they can laugh at all the little ignorant people who disagree with their grand, socialist plan for the U.S....

Brooks licks the shoes of his editors.
He spews the leftist idiocy of his wife.
I’ve seen an ignoramus and it’s him in all his unawareness.
David Brooks is the NY Slimes resident “conservative”. So that makes him just to the right of “Red” Ron Dellums.
Who cares what the NY Times’s “house conservative” says.
When I want any of David Brook’s opinions I’ll scrape them off my shoe. Why would anyone care or listen to this POS?
David Brooks doesn’t mean there are no intelligent people in the Tea Party movement. He means there are no intellectuals. There is a huge difference. An intelligent person is someone who is smart enough to find out what a problem is, and solve it. Intellectuals are people who have ideas that complicate the simple, and create unsolvable problems. ...Brooks is obviously a critter of the latter, a quasi establishment, neoconesque government peddler and Obamao worshiper. Anything that doesn’t involve complicating government and plundering tax money is incomprehensible to him.
Those who actually read Mr. Brooks’ piece will realize that Andrew Ian Dodge is an idiot.
"The educated class believes in global warming, so public skepticism about global warming is on the rise. The educated class supports abortion rights, so public opinion is shifting against them. The educated class supports gun control, so opposition to gun control is mounting."
It evidently does not occur to David Brooks and the educated class that they might be full of shit.
Brooks and his ilk view the world through the wrong-end of the binoculars. Something an "uneducated" person would never do...
Unlike the jottings of the leperous sycophants of ancient Rome, the collected writings of David Brooks will not be studied by our descendants. His is the sort of ephemera that becomes weighted down by the very motes of dust that drift about his ankles, they are that untillable for basic Good.
This a**clown Brooks is yet another University of Chicago grad who has had NO employment beyond ‘reporter’ or ‘journalist.’
Why on earth would we pay attention to his drivel?
Brooks has a wife? I thought he was a fag. Aren’t all the people at the Times fags?
