You've never been to West Virginia, and your "research" is watching The Beverly Hillbillies?

Let me assure you that Jay Rockefeller has always been viewed in our state as a "carpetbagger." We, the proud citizens of West Virginia, are well aware that the Democrats have had a strangle hold on our State. (Flashback-- we WANT change, that's why GW won our electoral votes)

To generalize all West Virginian's as "inbred hillbillies, coal miners, and mountain men," only reflects that the depth of your shallowness is infinite. However, if you should ever be in our State, we would still treat you kindly, feed you, comfort you and keep you safe.

Jessica Lynch is from Wirt County, West Virginia. Do you have the nerve to refer to her as an inbred hillbilly? You should be ashamed of yourself.

I didn't write the post you are complaining about, but methinks you need to turn your sarcasm detector on.

I really don't think that the Honorable Threepwood genuinely meant that West Virginians are in fact those things. I think he was being sarcastic.
