Perdue: People are upset about my outsourcing career because they're ignorant

Georgia Republican David Perdue is getting snippy and defensive as revelations about his outsourcing career weigh down his Senate campaign. Snippy and defensive David Perdue has something in common with calm, confident David Perdue, though: They're both really condescending. Perdue's explanation for why his record of outsourcing jobs is drawing criticism is that people are just too uneducated to understand what it's all about. Really:
You know, the criticism I've gotten over the last few weeks is coming from people who really have no business background and really don't understand what it takes to create jobs and create economic value, which is really what this free enterprise system is based on.

It's not just that Perdue's critics don't understand outsourcing, according to Perdue. They don't understand the entire economy, apparently.
Ignorance must have been what Perdue was counting on when he tried to redefine the meaning of outsourcing to sound harmless. But Perdue's problem is that you don't have to have a business background to understand his career—from building Sara Lee's "centralized sourcing operation" in Asia "from the ground up" to the 7,600 jobs lost when Pillowtex went under. Nor does it require a lot of business training to see Perdue's greed for what it is.

he's insulting their base if that's possible begging the question again in the party of stupid to whom are they referring them or their base?  they also need to realize that treating the rest of us like they do their base is not a winning strategy which tends to point to them the politicians as being the stupid ones.  it only takes a few to say "hey wait a minute he's talking about us", is that when they break out the pitchforks and torches?  even more interesting these are the same people they armed and bent laws to allow them carry permits, if he goes he might bnbot be safe in his church.
