""Some would say, 'Oh, poor Alabama. It's cut off from the wealth infusion that it gets from New York and California,' " said Lawrence O'Donnell, a veteran Democratic insider and now senior political analyst at MSNBC..."

Here's what kills me, the Old Media bigotry is so pronounced that even when recognized Democratic Party insiders bash Alabama, the New York Times, LA Times, and Washington Post will refuse to publish a single rebuttal from anyone who actually *lives* in Alabama.

I've been published in the Houston Chronicle, Dallas Morning News, Mobile Register, Huntsville Times, Village Voice, Birmingham News, Tuscaloosa Times, etc., but the New York Times, LA Times, and Washington Post won't publish something from myself or any other Alabamian in defending our state against gratuitous attacks printed in their publications.

It's always a one-way street. Some leftist gets to take pot shots at us, and we are denied the right to fire back.

Of course, the reason is simple: our counter-arguments are so morally and logically superior that they would embarrass and soundly refute the attacks on our fair state...should such arguments ever be given newsprint.

The Left simply fears us, Village Voice excepted.

If Alabama is such a hellhole as the media paints it to be, why are so many Michiganders among others moving down there.....???

I've never been there myself, but I've never been in a Southern state that I didn't like(Most partial to Northern Florida).
