"Bizarre" is too kind.
I'm serious in suggesting that use of this distinction between "ordinary people" and any other group is the kind of attitude that would feed into a u.s. fascist movement if one ever arose. I could imagine Mussolini spouting such poison as he began to move away from socialism. There are few attitudes more contemptible than this kind of dividing up of humans into arbitrary categories. I don't believe that Jim himself can really be so stupid and out of contact with the world as to believe it himself. It is an offensive bit of crude sectarianism.
Reading such horseshit makes me feel the need for a ahower. Yuck.
