Are you an elitist?

Edited on Sun May-04-08 03:10 PM by lumberjack_jeff
1) if you've ever used the term "low information voter" you might be an elitist. Add bonus points if you've ever mentioned "Obama's vote against the Iraq war" on the same day.

2) if you don't understand why "clinging to their religion" might be considered condescending, you might be an elitist. Bonus points if "latte liberal" is the most personally offensive phrase that is ever used to describe you. Triple bonus points if you agree with the statement that Obama is here because of "God, fate, destiny or providence".

3) if you've ever recommended a post or wrote to a media company in support of anyone "exercising their free speech rights" to call other democrats "white trash" or "ignorant white fucks", you might be an elitist. Bonus points if you wrote the post in question.

4) if you've ever ridiculed Hillary's gas tax plan because it wouldn't lower gas prices, while simultaneously praising Obama's plan despite the fact that Obama's plan would raise gas prices, you might be an elitist. Bonus points if you think that the residents of ruralsville, IA should take their kids 20 miles to school in the snow on electric bikes.

5) if you've ever written a post saying "Polls show that college-educated folks vote for Obama. Hmmm... I wonder why that is?" you might be an elitist. Add one point for each typo. Two points for each smiley.
