When Huckabee used the phrase "the Others" what is he talking about? |
|
A Presidential candidate's view of the electorate is revelatory.
Who are the "Others" to those using the word? What defines them in the minds of those who are not "Others"?
Are Jews "Others"? Are Gays "Others"? What about writers? intellectuals? leftists? liberals? atheists? Mormons? Catholics? Northerners? Blacks?

Just using the term creeps me out--it shows a dichotomy in thinking--in the Huckster's mind, it would be "The Elect" and the "sinners" and anything goes for the sinners.

Sounds like the title of a Stephen King novel.
Whoever they are (and I hope none of them live near me!!!), he wants everyone to be verrrry afraid of them.
Quick. Someone hold me.
