That's right guys, bemoaning our "fascist" state, hating Christians, and calling everyone who disagrees with you a stupid redneck is the way to regain the White House...

This statement caught my eye, because it is not an exaggeration in the least. I've had several internet "discussions" on other boards and have been called "stupid redneck" almost every time. I doubt that anyone who ever met me in person would ever think of calling me that, but when these people see text on the internet that disagrees with them, they immediately assume a specific image. Of course, I always picture them as bug-eyed, crack-smoking hippies, so maybe we're even.

Dude, I live in California and hear this "redneck" thing constantly. It is far easier to knock down a straw-man than it is the real thing. The left has constructed a stereotype of conservatives and simply revert to form when engaging in debate. My neighbor had a particularly good time calling republicans "fascists" until I called her on it one day - She was unable to even define what fascism was. "Fascism" and "Redneck" are simply propaganda cups that the left fills with their venom.
