It's as much an admission of where she expects to find her base - that alt.right/white supremacist crowd that frequents Breitbart. She's self-identifying as extremist.The Mound of Soundhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09023839743772372922noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7884128379999766348.post-35990769755100037402017-02-25T14:35:16.673-05:002017-02-25T14:35:16.673-05:00We call it "educated beyond their intelligenc...We call it "educated beyond their intelligence".lungtahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06526204597913219959noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7884128379999766348.post-30433295553954217462017-02-25T13:07:16.198-05:002017-02-25T13:07:16.198-05:00A very apt simile, Pamela; your reference to Deliv...A very apt simile, Pamela; your reference to Deliverance conjures up all sorts of ugly imagery, well-placed and apt when talking about the bestial appeal Kelly Leitch is making to her base.Lornehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15741324981120408977noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7884128379999766348.post-8633646001145533042017-02-25T11:54:20.543-05:002017-02-25T11:54:20.543-05:00We are at the point in our political culture Lorne...We are at the point in our political culture Lorne where politicians like Kellie Leitch, not only, as she should, feel embarrassed about the tripe she is spouting, but instead she advertises it!<br /><br />I think these absurd beliefs, they are not political policies, are directed at the Reform/Alliances base. She is reflecting the beliefs of her base. If she becomes their leader however, she will then have to face mainstream Canadians, who for the most part think she is a bigot and a bottom dweller.<br /><br />Apart from her base, who in their right mind would vote for this woman?<br /><br />The fact that she is so out of touch with who she really is and that she thinks she can really win the highest office in the land, I find truly jaw dropping. . It would be like having someone from "Deliverance" as our PM.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07842215982128591742noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7884128379999766348.post-61897549617526531622017-02-25T11:36:39.941-05:002017-02-25T11:36:39.941-05:00Kellie Leitch exemplifies your observation in spad...Kellie Leitch exemplifies your observation in spades, Owen.
