“What does Obama need to do to win the hearts and votes of Appalachia?”
Build a snowman in Hell.
And to the writer of this article:
Do NOT EVER AGAIN say “that one” has anything in common with the Appalachians.
“I know that for well over a century, the only time people come to Appalachia is when they want something. They want your coal, your timber and they want your vote. They take what they want and they leave and they don’t come back until they want some more. I’m not going to do that.”
No, “that one” is coming for your -soul-.
Yeah, sure, Ms. Parker, I'm betting Appalachia is just chock full of socialists and marxists who support and take support from people who hate what this country stands for.
Stuff it, Ms. P.
I've been posting Kathleen Parker columns for several years here. What galls me is how she turned out to be a Quisling. We can't just post "happy" threads here that we all nod our heads and agree on, that's what DU, Kos, Huffington and the nutroots do. We're all adults here, we can think for ourselves and make our own minds up, which is why I often post articles from lefties, mushy moderates, RINOs, kooks, peacecreeps and other assorted creatures. We shouldn't live in a bubble like the far-left does.
I just asked.
*Nobody* is more “bitter”, “bible/gun clinging” and than the SCOTS-Irish. [not “Scotch]
I AM Appalachia.
He is -not- doing well amongst us and never will.
Paging Mz Parker, paging Mz Parker, yo’ “Socialist Ho” brand knee pads you ordered are available for pickup at the will call desk.
I asked them years ago to drop this leftish witch.
In other words, it’s to Obama’s advantage if he can lie convincingly to the bitter clingers.
I doubt the Obama campaign needed the noxious Kathleen Parker to figure that one out.
That's not a vow, it's a curse.
LMAO!
Slainte!
Saol fada chugat!
Have you heard Del McCoury’s most recent FDR-loving CD? Rash may be right.
Truth is oft’ spoke in jest....:)
If these idjits would start up in PA and ride the Apps all the way down, they’d see miles of “hicks” with McCain signs in the yards and anti-That One stuff painted on their barns.
Talk about a waste of time, “converting” us.
My area is muttering in horror over the *single* Zero yard sign that sprung up in front a house just up the pike.
To hear them, you’d think the sign owners had planted an inverted Christ on the cross, instead.
Long after the election is over, none of us will forget where we saw that sign.
It’s told us all we ever need to know about the home owners.
The term used by the Scotch-Irish for hundreds of years has been “Scotch-Irish” and I see no reason to change.
When “Scotch whiskey” becomes “Scots whiskey” then get back to me, maybe I’ll change.
You might find it interesting to read some of the history of the Scotch-Irish people in the proceedings of the SCOTCH-IRISH Congresses compiled in the 1800s. These works were published for a number of years and provide a much richer and deeper history than the shallow work of Jim Webb.

“The Scotch Irish people have been second to none in their influence upon modern civilization. Their impress upon American institutions has been especially strong. They have been leaders in every sphere of life, both public and private. They were the first to declare independence from Great Britain, and foremost in the revolutionary struggle; leaders in the formation and adoption of the Constitution, and its most powerful defenders; most active in the extension of our national domain, and the hardiest pioneers in its development.
“The associations suggested by a few of the illustrious men of the the stock are sufficient to outline the extent of their influence. Among them were Patrick Henry, Thomas Jefferson, John Witherspoon, John Paul Jones, James Madison, John Marshall, Andrew Jackson, James K. Polk, James Buchanan, Abraham Lincoln and Ulysses S. Grant.
“That they have been no less conspicuous in the material development and intellectual progress of the country is evidenced by the names of Robert Fulton, Horace Greeley, Robert Bonner and the McCormicks.”
icky
Take her advice. Kathleen Parker knows as much as about America as Obama does.
Colmes: [to Ann Coulter] Even noted conservative Kathleen Parker has been critical of Sarah Palin.
Coulter: NO! Oh my. Not THE Kathleen Parker!?
