(Sorry about the shouting, but it seemed like you weren't >seeing those words when I wrote them in lower case.) So, let me get this straight. Clayton Cramer wants to know why it is okay for Mike Dukakis to run around stereotyping conservatives and the rich as uncaring bastards if it isn't okay to stereotype Jews and Scots as greedy tightwads. Did I get this part correct? And Pete Holsberg reminds us that greedy, selfish, uncaring, conservative bastards aren't a persecuted minority, so of course it is okay to negatively stereotype them. Did I get this part correct? So, in other words, it is perfectly okay to stereotype christian-white-males as goose-stepping-jew-killing-nazi-lovers because we belong to some particular socio-economic group. This really is a good thing to know, because before Pete pointed out that this was the proper behaviour, I didn't have the slightest clue that I was directly responsible for the holocaust, the Mideast wars and the entire Skinhead Nation. I have really been a very bad person these last fifty years or so. -- John F.
