YOU seem to think that hes actually critiquing someones vision of a world class city, not just engaged in dog whistle snark - I think the burden of proof is on anyone defending Milloy to show someone actually thinks those make a world class city.

No. I believe he was engaged in both. While you seem to agree that bike lanes are part of what makes DC a world class city..you're also arguing that there aren't people who think this so Milloy's snark is unfounded. Well ok. Doesn't make sense..but ok.

it sounds to me like he is mentioning cupcake shops cause they are associated with young college educated people.
I get how it might sound to you. But what he said was the cupcake parlors don't make DC a world-class city..something he thinks the myops believe.

So do you agree that the MLTs are right on this one, and Milloy is wrong?
Wait, so there ARE people who think bike lanes help make DC a world-class city? I thought you said there weren't?...Oh heck, nvm.

In response to your suggestion that Milloy seems angry that Gray is pursuing policies that David is for, I countered that his article doesn't address such and that is DOES focus on how he's disappointed that the economic disparity has increased.

I still dont know exactly what the MLTs are for that Milloy is against.
Really? Wait a minute. So you don't know what he's against. But you do know that he's against what David advocates for. Well alrighty then!

WRT to "Tiger Mom." I guess I can see how someone could make the case that Milloy was being racist by comparing Rhee to what another Asian said. In that vein, I assume it's also safe to say that those who think he was being racist, felt the same about Bill Clinton when commenting on Obama's SC victory said, "Jessie Jackson won South Carolina too." Did you instinctively think he was racist too? NVM. I'm sure you did.
