I like Kathleen Parker's writings. She seems to resist most forms of crap the populist writers deliberately use. Read just a few of The Herald columnist choices as example, and you'll ascertain a certain commonality. Hate this and hate that while professing your own hate at high levels. All, while proclaiming your own tolerance, even desirous of others to follow your model? You be the judge, not I.
But, even Ms. Parker fell into the trap she is writing about by characterizing Iowa as "sow farms". Surely there are many in King's district. King's own company is/was into earth moving, so, no sense in associating his attributes to pig farmers in Iowa is there? Or even earth movers in Iowa?
Are we to hate all in Iowa because of what King says? ...all pig farmers? ...earth movers? ...all in states colored in red? ...Dutch who voted for Wilders? ...all (shudder) who voted for Trump? ...all who voted against HC?
Maybe just take the easier route and hate everyone. Too hard to keep track.
