The mistake this joker made was the level of his hatred, especially towards Southerners. He is just ignorant. This is America and we are free to have open dialogue -- be pro-Democrat or whatever but when you make foolish comments as in this case well then the person should be labelled a fool.
I agree wholeheartedly. I truly believe one of the problems most blue-state liberals have is a lack of exposure to the red states. They assume we are all idiots just because of accents and not choosing the same lives they have.
However, they expect all red staters to travel to their cities for "exposure" to culture.
I really believe if many of them were forced to live a year in a small rural community, they might come to respect our people and values more. They might not agree with them, and I would not ask that of them. But I don't believe a little respect is too much to ask!
