No. But comments like Poorly educamacated, short lifespan, food stamps, and fat, in other words, talk radio fans are. Plus, its stupid. One could take most of those comments and use them against black folk. Bet you would be hollerin' then, lol!

I didn't mention race, I mentioned political affiliation. You are not the first conservative that has tried to make this thread about race. Why are conservatives always trying to race bait?
If you feel the need to poke fun at Black people no one is stopping you. It hasn't stopped other conservatives. Freedom of speech.

Why are you "rural baiting"? Seems like you have your own bigotry to deal with. Bet you don't even see it.
When did I mention rural areas? I mentioned political affiliation. Nice try, but you fail, again, and again.
Most of the "red" areas are in rural areas. It really is simple. Your side calls it, "flyover".

"It's the secular coasts versus the religious heartland," CNN's Tucker Carlson says of this year's election results. That sums up the conventional wisdom that right-wing Republicans would prefer that you believe and that too many of the rest of us do believe. The effete liberal coasts against the Real America. Situational morality against real morality. Relativism against Standards. Metrosexuals against the God-fearing.
Wrong. The real electoral division isn't between the coasts and the heartland. It's between cities all over the United States and the rest of the country.
In every state in the Union, red states included, Sen. John F. Kerry performed disproportionately well in urban areas. Kerry actually carried, sometimes convincingly, cities in some of the deepest-red red states that are about as far from coastal secularism as you can imagine.
It would be very interesting to see where the most government money is spent. I would venture a guess it mirrors what the OP is trying to show as dumb, poor red counties. ( Which I can tell you doesn't hold true in NJ. The Republican counties are the wealthiest and best educated, with the best school systems.) So I would submit it is government intervention that keeps people dependent and leads to poor, dumb people.
