I think that's exactly why everyone is on about "liberal hubris."
It's because people like you who are so self-absorbed that you write articles about how you're too educated to talk to plumbers and how you sympathize with others who feel the same way.
When you discount everyone who disagrees with you for being "uneducated" and gullible, it doesn't seem at all unreasonable to me that many would accuse you overwhelming hubris.
I didn't write the article (nor as far as I know, anything like it) so you're reading rather a lot into my comment. I wasn't even commenting on the article's own view point necessarily, but rather the degree of alienation between the two Americas it exhibited back in 2008.
I'll have to track down the original HN thread, it'd make some interesting reading.
