Why the Left has LOST the SOUTH
Weasely Clark made a little "joke" last week about Howard Deans flub on
seeking the votes of people with Confederate Flags on their pickups. Clark
said "I think all Americans, even if they're from the south and stupid,
should be represented.
It wasn't a joke. One of the reasons the Democrats are losing the South is
because of their snotty, down-the-nose view of the south as being backwards
and ignorant. A mere hint of a southern accent brands a person as being
ignorant in many parts of the country. I must tell you that there have even
been radio station program directors who have declined to carry my show
because it originates from Atlanta, Georgia. There's an operative
presumption out there that if you are operating out of New York City you
must be progressive and intelligent, and if you're operating out of the
south you must be an ignorant southern redneck. So ... explain the fact
that CNN is based in Atlanta and Fox News Channel is based in New York City!
The Weasel will get away with his little slam on stupid southerners. After
all, most of the media that will pass on his remarks are based ... where?

Left-wing liberals are EVERYTHING they accuse the right of being.
They are mean, vicious, hateful, greedy, cold-hearted, selfish, intolerant,
bigoted and racist.

LBJ said that his signing of the Civil Rights
Act would be the death of the Demo party in the
South. And he was right. The racists, the bigots,
the knee-jerk militarists all moved to the GOP,
where Jesse Helms and Strom Thurmond made new
careers.
And they are still there today.

Unfortunately, it wasn't a JOKE. So many southerners, at least
the vocal ones, are cretins when it comes to politics. There's a reason
all the southeastern states are absolute last in so many categories.
