My favorite political writer, Jim Hightower, nails it in his latest newsletter when describing ‘REAL’ populists over ‘WANNABE’ populists like RUSH, DOBBS and Gingrich. In fact, cartoonist, Matt Wuerker does a toon in the lastest issue which he calls DOBBS a WASPulist. LMAO. I just call him a fucking racist. Anyway the statement;
First of all, populism is not a style, nor is it a synonym for “popular outrage.” It is a historically grounded political doctrine (and movement) that supports ordinary folks in their ongoing democratic fight against the moneyed
elites.
I couldn’t have said it better myself.
