actually, Brag has a MSEd in secondary ed.

That is not the point. The point is that he does not sound or write as though he has a master's degree in anything (though to be frank education is not the most intellectually rigorous field in which to obtain an advanced degree, as is well known).

perhaps you just don't like his style of speech.

I don't like our cause represented by someone who can't go toe-to-toe with his adversaries in the rest of the media. I don't like our cause represented by ill-written diatribes. As for accents: well, I have one myself.

i for a FACT know he's VERY SMART.

That may well be the case.

What I do not seem to be able to communicate to you is that it's not important if you like Brag Bowling or not. He has no need to preach to the choir; the choir is already convinced. The point is that Southern heritage needs to be represented by someone who can go out into the broader world and teach America, and the world, that Southerners are not ignorant hicks and the Confederacy was not about being cruel to slaves. I'm afraid that Bowling is not doing a wonderful job at persuading the unpersuaded because he appears to fulfill every unjust stereotype they have about the Southern cause. That is not a good thing.
