btw, NYC 9/11 was not a “crime scene” it was a war zone.

Mind you, in MY world bookish means having actually learned things from books, as opposed to having lots of books for self-esteem purposes like Ms. Wolf.

Also, in my world, intellectual means “thinking about the world, principles and ideas” as opposed to Ms. Wolf’s intellectualism, which seems to mean “learning a few big words, trying hard not to correlate ideas to reality, and dissolving my brain nightly in a vat of acid.”

This naomi chic has already got a man (at least I am assuming that is how she birthed a baby, God help the little fellow), so now she has to yak about her kid’s asthma.

Naomi referred to herself as a “single mom” when she was on Michael Medved’s radio show a couple of weeks ago peddling teh crazy.

Camile Paglia used to rake Wolf over the coals for being paranoid,ignorent and a prime example of modern academia run amok.

I used to think she was being too harsh…

Paid any attention to Paglia the last few years or so? She’s gotten BDS herself and self-medicates it by drinkning Edwards’s and Hillary’s kool-aid.

Sad, really.

A little child in front of a chalkboard is innocent and sort of cute. She’s just lame and her diatribe is stupid. Maybe it’s just me cause I have to admit I don’t really understand what she was trying to get across. That must be it, I’m just too stupid to comprehend the subtle undertones, nuances and meaning of her chaotic verbalization. Oh! And don’t forget America is evil and everything is Bushitlercheney’s fault, and the Clintons are nice people. Fire won’t melt steel either.

Yep, I could understand it if it were mentally challenged or downright nasty, power hungry individuals who were touting communism.

Who says they ain’t?

It really makes me wonder why so many intellectuals support communism. What I really think they support is the utopian idea of communism rather than the historical fact of it. It makes me think they may not be very bright after all or maybe blinded by their own brilliance.

Yep, I could understand it if it were mentally challenged or downright nasty, power hungry individuals who were touting communism., but for a so called intellect, and they’re always libs, the ones who are always screaming in your face about human rights. They must have missed or slept through their history classes, hell I don’t remember much from mine, but I’ve managed to get the gist, communism doesn’t work. Period. Never has, never will, unless we have a robot in power that’s been programmed to run things according to the perfect utopian ideals.

That was proved wrong ages ago. But thanks for reminding us what a wack job she is.

In my younger days when I was a tad more naive and idealistic I mused on the fact that whenever there was a coup and a relatively free government was replaced by a dictatorship one of the first things they did was round up all the liberal intelligentsia and either kill them outright or stick them in prison forever. Back then I thought that it was because their ideas were dangerous to the dictator. Now, after much deliberation, I’ve come to the conclusion that it’s actually because they’re no longer useful and they’re irritating. This clip just reinforces that notion.

By other intellectuals that spend an inordinate amount of time and energy telling everyone how much smarter they are than the rest of us.

What’s disturbing is that she is considered an intellectual. This is what the Ivy League is producing?

No, sure didn’t. I thought those people could be my own neighbors, and how sad it is that everyday Americans can be so confused regarding priorities that they would spend even one minute in the same room with the likes of Naomi Wolf.

And they vote.

She hasn’t used it yet.

Did anyone notice how unattractive that audience was?
