Awesome: Mike Rowe Goes Off When Someone Accuses Him of Catering to 'Anti-Intellectual' GOP, White Nationalists

Television host and prominent reasonable person Mike Rowe unloaded on a man who attacked him on Facebook recently, taking his critic to task over the accusation that Rowe embraces Republican "anti-intellectualism" and turns a blind eye to white nationalism.  He also parlayed the smear into an opportunity to advocate and model political restraint and humility among celebrities.  Let's start with the comment that set Rowe off in the first place, courtesy of someone named Chuck Atkins:

Quote
    "One of the tenants of white nationalism is that college educated people are academic elitests. Comment? No? I'm not surprised. You never take a political stand because you don’t want to alienate anybody. Its bad for business. I get it. But there is a current of anti intellectualism in this country - promoted by Republicans. Those people love you, and they think your initiative is their initiative. Meanwhile, the rest of the world is kickin our ass academically."

I've been a big fan of Mike Rowe's for many years now, and he seems like a pretty decent, down to Earth guy.  He'd be a great Briefer (hint-hint Mike).  I have my Amazon "Smile" set up to donate a portion of all my eligible Amazon purchases to his foundation, "MikeRoweWorks."  The foundation funds scholarships for kids who want to go to a Vocational School to learn a Trade, and they win them by writing Mike and making a case for themselves.

More can be read about his foundation here:  http://profoundlydisconnected.com/

He has a really good dawg, too....

Yeah, I used to follow him on Bookface and I've seen him deliver many a good smackdown.  He's also very inspirational.  He had a great story about how he got his first broadcasting gig on QVC.
