Did I miss the 'hip' part?

Ann Coulter

CNN commentators keep telling us how young and hip the audience was for last week's YouTube Democratic debate, apparently unaware that the camera occasionally panned across the audience, which was the same oddball collection of teachers' union shills and welfare recipients you see at all Democratic gatherings. ...

Democrats fight tooth and nail against any measures that would actually help the poor, such as allowing schools to fire bad teachers. They refuse to allow parents with children in the rotten D.C. public schools to take money out of the public school system so their kids could go to Sidwell Friends like Chelsea.

Most important, Democrats resolutely refuse to tell the poor the secret to not being poor: Keep your knees together until marriage.

That's it. Not class size, not preschool, not even vouchers, though vouchers would obviously improve the education of all students. You could have lunatics running the schools — and often do — and if the kids live with married parents, they will end up at good colleges and will lead happy, productive lives 99 percent of the time.

But Democrats don't care about the poor. They don't care about the children. They care about government teachers and other government bureaucrats — grimy, dowdy women who "woo" at political debates. Or as CNN calls them, the "young," "hip" crowd.

As usual, Ann nails it right on the head. No wonder lefties hate her.

Not counting talking snowmen, the main difference in the YouTube debate audience and the audience for the earlier CNN Democratic debate is that the YouTube debate had 173,000 fewer viewers in the 18-49 demographic. So it was probably not young and, on the basis of casual observation, definitely not hip.

Absolutely. As a result of public school indoctrination, "young adults" - the use of the word 'adult' when referring to lefties always ends in an oxymoron; regardless of the lefty-in-question's chronological age) are generally too stupid and ignorant to pay more than 5 minutes' attention to something like a political debate. Especially, something as soporific as a democrat debate. No, these debates, as Ann points out, are mostly attended by adults (strictly chronologically speaking) in bureaucratic positions, anxious to keep making a living off of the poor (as in "institutionalizing poverty").

As usual, the audience consisted mostly of public schoolteachers. According to CNN, the highest reading achieved on the CNN feelings-knob was for Richardson talking about public schoolteachers. (Some in the audience said they hadn't been that excited since the last time they had sex with an underage student.)

:lol: I love this woman. :lol:

And the part about Hillary agonizing over sending Chelsea to public school, is side-splitting

... wait, let me correct that ...

the IDEA OF Hillary agonizing over sending Chelsea to public or private school, is side-splitting.

Yes, that's better.

CNN is actually right about these people being "hip." Of course, when the term "hip" (as something other than a part of your buttocks) came into the language, we were in the 1960s. That was forty or more years ago, when these people were in their teens and twenties. So the age demographic makes sense.
