This is not a political question.
I read an interesting piece in an old TV guide article about the Ed Asner's character in The Mary Tyler Moore Show. I never got that impression of his character, given that how he was always such an overbearing presence.
It got me wondering, how were overbearing liberals often characterized when they often displayed superficial qualities that you'd usually associate with conservative impulses?
A pal of mine mentioned that Spiderman's J. Jonah Jameson was the same way when he wasn't obsessing over Spiderman. That too I'm having a hard time piecing together. He's usually got a stick up his ass.
Aside from polemical determination, how is the belligerent stereotype often embodied, both good and bad? And not like the angry hippie stereotype. I'm thinking more along the lines of Marc Maron's Sam Sylvia on GLOW, who on a few occasions took swipes at Ronald Reagan and the Religious Right.
