Liberal Snobbery in introduction?
I have not yet read the entire book, but was annoyed at the author's liberal snobbery on page XVI in the introduction. After bringing up some individuals he had seen wearing buttons that probclaimed "Frederick Douglas was a republican", he snobbishly dismisses them "as some of us scholars with, shall we say, different training and research, smiled and endured...." I guess since these people apparently didn't attend and an Ivy League school and ingest all of the liberal viewpoints they must be "endured" by the "higher level" scholars. Disgusting liberal, pseudo intellectual condescending! Why did must cut on people who have arrived at a different opinion than his? As I read further, I will surely be alert for liberal bias sure to come!
