Or, more in keeping with the media's practice, they probably shelved the interview until they could corner some illiterate, hairy shouldered mumbler and pay him to spit a few words into the microphone. They know that it never hurts to perpetuate a stereo-type, especially not when there are still people out there who fall for it (ahem)

Ah, I have fallen for a bad stereotype of white supremacists. I just don't know no better I guess.

And you're from ARKANSAS! I bet you and Roger Clinton get together for a pig pickin with some state Troopers and Razorback coeds, singing something by the Outlaws. There, I am done stereotyping.

The depiction of the toothless, pot-bellied hater, holding a beer and cussing about "them coloreds" is the modern day equivelant to the fantastical depictions of sea-serpents under the cartographers warning "Here there be dragons".

Certainly, these guys are out there, their beliefs are easy to dismiss and their grooming habits are well, distateful, but they are far from a "normal" representative for entire the anti-PC movement. But the fallacious association represents the biggest gun in the liberals arsenal. I've seen intelligent, well spoken people draw up in fear at the thought of openly expressing non-PC sentiments in large part because they fear being branded with this "toothless wonder" archetype. It's a universal template, one-size fits all and it's quickly applied to anyone who disagrees with the liberal agenda.

That's why I called you on it. It's dead wrong.
