"CORRECTING" THE RED STATES

So the long and the short of it seems to be that the MSM doesn't understand why we conservatives weren't gullible enough to fall for their "But Kerry is a moderate...REALLY" line.

[dirtboy]

Von Drehle did not want to consider Kerry's actual voting record instead of just his campaign-trail chatter.

So the dumb hick from Oklahoma was smart enough to look at what Kerry did, not what he said. And the blue stater is arrogant enough to try and patronize them for knowing the difference.

[Mister Baredog]

I wonder how many black sheeple vote DUmmy because they think Republicans walk around in white sheets and hoods, no misinformation there eh?

[dead]

Bush voters are so stupid! They thought Kerry was a flip-flopper when in reality he was a multi-faceted thinker who could see all sides of an issue and refused to narrow-mindedly be judgemental and prevent the people on either side of an issue from being heard.

That's hardly flip-flopping!

[King Prout]

ayyuh, thet 'bout sums et up.

[JFK_Lib]

I would comment, but I am such a stupid red-neck that I dont really know how to work a keyboard anywho, much less critique the august elite like David Von Drehle.

I just hope and pray that these high-brows never do catch on.

[marty60]

Oviously this "hick" was to polite or "slow" to tell this arrogant little punk to STFU.

[trisham]

Von Drehle felt compelled to "correct" the woman for the record:

*****************

And the arrogance continues.

One of the main reasons Kerry lost was because he tried to be all thing to all people. He never said anything straight up he always left himself a way to out. They didnt call him Flip -flop for nothing. Kerry has made a Senatorial career of riding the fence in his speech and voting liberal

[King Prout]

dead, why did you have to go and say all that? I had just about purged that obfuscatory nonsense from my memory in the months since Dubya and Cheney trounced the Ponce and Pony.

[COBOL2Java]

PROUDLY ignorant (by Blue State standards) and look forward to remaining so in '06 and '08!

[libbylu]

I hope Joyce Smith read what he said about her, and gives him what he has coming.

[dhuffman@awod.com]

No. I heard the moderate claim. To me a moderate is merely a lying sack of excrement (that's hate speech) LIEBERAL that's been pinned down, too skewered to escape so he cries 'moderate'. Anything left of extremely conservative fiscally and socially is a lying sack of excrement - Bush, anyone?

[Tribune7]

So the dumb hick from Oklahoma was smart

Actually, it's even sweeter. The lady from Oklahoma was more knowledgeable about Kerry's positions than the Washington reporter.

These people really are stupid.

[VRWCisme]

I hear ya! I wear my red state heritage with pride!

[Conspiracy Guy]

We dumb hicks seem to see through the crap. Most things in life are black and white. Gray areas should be rounded to the closest black or white. Nuanced and confused are one in the same and lead to "analysis paralysis", more commonly none as the "Liberal Disease".

[cripplecreek]

I would have given them a lot more to correct than that.

I would have said "I didn't vote for John Kerry because he's a f**khead who wouldn't know the truth if it bit him on the a$$."

[FreedomPoster]

>>I just hope and pray that these high-brows never do catch on.

You can say that again. I hope they continue to misunderestimate us in 2006, 2008, 2010, . . . .

[Conspiracy Guy]

I wear plaid sheets.

[beandog]

I read some of this this weekend. It was the typical red stater's are either ignorant or they just voted for Bush because they didn't like Kerry. It pretty much was nobody really likes Bush they just don't know any better. So much for trying to find out what makes red stater's tick. Same old arrogance from the left.
