LETTER: ‘Enlightened’ Democrats resort to name-calling

I read the Feb. 10 letter from Sherry Hobbs, one of the so-called intelligent, open-minded Democrats. She calls Republicans uneducated, closed-minded sheep. It brings back memories of how Democrats such as Barack Obama spoke of conservatives. What did he call us? Bitter, bible-thumping, gun-clinging and toting racist xenophobes. Hillary Clinton called us deplorables. Other Democratic standards used to describe Republcians include “bigot,” “fascist,” “teabagger” and “homophobe.”

This is how Democrats show us how enlightened they are, by name calling. Don’t worry, Ms. Hobbs, we are used to it. Growing up, we we’re taught a saying to counter the bullies. It started with “sticks and stones.”
