Helpful context from a pro: West Virginians are angry, easily misled, lots don’t speak English (tr)

On a night like Thursday, when President Trump was scheduled to headline a rally in West Virginia, you know the hot takes are going to be coming in fast from all directions, but who’ll go the extra distance to really stand out?

(Ta Da!) Stuart Rothenberg, senior editor at Inside Elections, went all out in sizing up the people of West Virginia, many of whom wouldn’t make it in as immigrants under the Trump administration’s policies, which are in clear violation of that Emma Lazarus poem.

Stuart Rothenberg @StuPolitics

Lots of people in West Virginia can't support themselves or speak English.

Respectfully as someone who comes from the region that is incredibly bigoted -- people from West Virginia are incredible hard-working folks https://twitter.com/stupolitics/status/893257471686475776  … 8:09 PM - Aug 3, 2017 · Mount Lebanon, PA

The "extreme prejudice" (iow, Stupendous Dumbness") apparently exists outside mere CNN's Acosta. And yes, he (Stuart Rothenberg) did go there.

===> Remember folks, to fight back is not to recite your own credentials and/or accomplishments, THESE PEOPLE DON"T GIVE A $%(& about you.

Fight them back, by pointing out how much illiteracy in both language and math/logic skills in their own backyards. Fight them back, by pointing out how ridiculous that makes them and mock them mercilessly.

Hit them WHERE it hurts the most.

Violation? Does the author think the poem has the force of law?

Now, according to liberals, verses by 19th century poets constitute unalienable rights on par with the text of the Constitution. So in that vein, I demand that all ravens be required to say "Nevermore"...

If a truck pulls into the driveway with WV plates, I wave them away. It always means trouble. They can’t read, especially “No soliciting” signs coming into the neighborhood.

That wouldn't have anything to do with Messiah Obama's War on Coal, would it?

Fight them back by showing they endorse policies that bring drugs, illiterates, environmental destruction, loss of habitat, inferior cultures, crime, welfare, terrorism, disrespect for women into your communities, schools, malls.

The writer was using irony.

Acosta however does seem to believe the Emma Lazarus poem is a founding document.

Inability to read “No soliciting” signs is hardly restricted to folks from WV.

Putting one up in Cleveland OH didn’t make a dent in the door knocks. In fact, I think some people seek them out hoping for less competition.

West Virginia has the fewest number of illegal aliens than any other state.

THAT’S what they are mad about.

I’ve traveled WV extensively, it is true many don’t speak English that a CNN turd would understand but this VA born and bred country boy understood them quite well.
Yes I heard you’uns, holler, crick and other nonstandard words used quite often. So what?

The Obama war on coal didn’t help the people of WV one bit but the speaking anal sphincter in the MSM will never admit that.

The people of WV ARE hardworking patriotic Americans and THAT is why the MSM must talk down at them.

Hack, spit.

Really. A “violation” of an insipid poem? How pitiful that the author has such a low I.Q.

NOW you know why I call the "coastal elites" the equivalent of the denizens of the fictional capital of Panem from the Hunger Games novel trilogy--indulgent, parochial and sanctimonious to an extreme. That's the type of attitude that leads to tyranny.

Don’t speak English? Are they ‘undocumented’?
