It is not a big jump from seeing something as disorderly to seeing it as dirty. So too, "foreigners" have always been seen as dirty and smelly. This is due to the fact they tend to dress and eat differently. (Difference = non-conformity= disorder = dirt.)<br />In other words the predilection for calling protesters smelly is nothing more than a case of Authoritarian Personality Disorder and xenophobia.

The late and very lamented Occam's Carbuncle, who I much respected and enjoyed, kept using Nick as an example of an intelligent conservative commentator. I did find him readable for a bit, and then quite suddenly, it seemed, he joined the Furiosi.
