What a goofy article.

I'm reading through it when along comes this:

Having heard of Kentucky's reputation for "being a little backward," integrated strategic communications senior James Davidson Jr. was not surprised about Davis' statue in the Capitol building.

So who (besides Davidson apparently) thinks Kentucky is "a little backward"? Is that codespeak for not sufficiently politically correct?

It was an awkward and bumbling mechanism but it accomplished what it set out to do, which is set up an excuse to bash and condemn the Jefferson Davis Monument.

Fortunately I doubt that groups like Davidson's will gain enough traction to accomplish their aims...

Codespeak for 'redneck', 'hillbilly', 'ignert' and 'white'.

I'm so glad that BHO has opened up a race discussion in this country.

No, that's disrespectful Yankee Speak saying that Southerners are backward dummies.
