This is why grass roots conservatives hate liberals - 10/17/2017 5:43:00 PM

is First of all, this is a story from September, so I apologize if there is another thread on it.

This is a PRIME example of the stereotypical elitist liberal, behaving badly.

http://www.cnn.com/2017/09/29/politics/melania-trump-library-books-dr-suess/index.html

The note from the librarian is sooooo damn condescending, it is disgusting.

"You may not be aware of this, but Dr. Seuss is a bit of a cliché, a tired and worn ambassador for children's literature," Soeiro wrote to Trump. "As first lady of the United States, you have an incredible platform with world-class resources at your fingertips. Just down the street you have access to a phenomenal children's librarian: Dr. Carla Hayden, the current Librarian of Congress. I have no doubt Dr. Hayden would have given you some stellar recommendations."

Besides the fact that Dr. Seuss is FULL of brilliant metaphors for complex issues for children to ponder, it is NOT (IMO) a cliche. It certainly is NOT tired or worn in any way.

Even if she really felt that way, she didn't have the decency, or the grace to accept the gift. The real message is "I'm a Democrat. I don't like Trump. So, we won't take books from his wife."

Yeah. We did that already. Fun times.

Did you see the librarian dressed as Cat In The Hat?

How did you get from that to stereotyping liberals?

FFS. That's why I roll my eyes at conservatives spouting such crap.

I didn't get from that to stereotyping liberals.

My point is... This librarian's behavior matches the grass roots conservative's perception of a typical liberal. (A stereotype)

You act like there are more important things going on. Six rolls of Bounty paper towels totally fixed Pwerto Rico. There hasn't been a mass shooting in like 2 weeks.

Oh, but the liberal #NotMyDr smear campaign is unstoppable.

Complaining about stereotypes seems a bit strange when you look at the current president's base.

I am not complaining about stereotypes. Rather, I am pointing out, that this behavior reinforces the stereotype.

At least it makes a change from whining about hypocrisy, I suppose.

Ya...the thing is, hate is a liberal thing. It's liberals that hate anything that doesn't agree with them. You'll see that on here now that you've turned on your liberal pals.

Nope. I'll eat foods that are supposed to be green, like spinach & broccoli. But if eggs or ham are green, that's likely to kill you.

Actually not... (hence the title of this thread)... Hate is definitely a Republican low-information voter thing. A group of which you have clearly demonstrated that you are a member.

Well, like I said, we've done this before.

Link to thread

I don't see any new information here. Or even as much as the first thread had.

Apparently, there is a theory circulating that Dr Seuss was racist, because of some of his work before he made it big. I don't see it in his children's books, neither did Michelle Obama when she sent books to schools, as Melania is doing now. It's a FLOTUS tradition, I believe started by Laura Bush.

OK, so one petty, selfish librarian hates that Trump is in office enough to refuse books for the kids in her school/district/whatever. Yeah, that's pathetic. And again, petty as fuck.

But that's not all liberals. Just like I'm sure not all conservatives want to hang gays, even if Mike Pence does.

Ummm... That's a Bosco thread with his never-ending "howler" term about a librarian who thinks Dr. Seuss is racist.

1. NOT the same topic
2. Most definitely LESS information than this one

3. The point of the OP is that this behavior reinforces the stereotype of liberals.

It appears you missed all points, here

Well, I'm totally convinced now.

I thought we were talking about a librarian named Liz Phipps Soeiro in Cambridge, Massachusetts. I didn't realize your CNN link was about OH WAIT! Liz Phipps Soeiro in Cambridge, Massachusetts.

But Bosco, by using his 'howler term', has pretty much made any point on the matter you're trying to make here.
