Bill is a disgrace to rednecks! Even rednecks can acknowledge a bad apple!

Bubba, screwing your cousin doesn't make you a redneck. You sir are white trash, not a redneck.

Lightbulb Clinton is trailing by dozens in Arkansas

In every election the home state of that candidate is highlighted. Carter only won in Georgia and lost the other49.

It should be highlighted that Hillary will lose Arkansas and the residents of Arkansas know clintons better than the nation. That is so compelling and the commercials of Arkansas's residents would be effective.

I live in rural Western PA and am a former city dweller (HATED it) and am now a proud redneck. There are a LOT of us out here, Billy Clinton. And we're hearing every word you say.
He's not running.

Mmmm....many people use redneck as a blanket term, to describe most rural folks who live a certain lifestyle. To these people, its a label for anyone they see as "uneducated", and other such derogatory slurs. I dress in jeans and button downs a lot and wear a cowboy hat. Often I've been called a redneck, right alongside so.some in patched overalls with a Rip Van Winkle beard with tobacco juice in it.

It means something different to me, but, the term has been hijacked.

The painter George Catlin spent years with different tribes, learning their customs and painting scenes and undertaking portraits. Catlin was known as saying.........

"A stranger in the Mandan village is first struck with the different shades of complexion, and various colours of hair which he sees in a crowd about him, and is almost disposed to exclaim that these are not Indians." He went on to say the Mandan's had "a most pleasing symmetry and proportion of features, with hazel, gray and blue eyes."

The first documented Mandan encounter with Europeans occurred with the visit of the French Canadian trader Sieur de la Verendrye in 1738. It is estimated that at the time of his visit, 15,000 Mandan resided in the nine villages on the Heart River, a tributary of the Missouri River near Mandan, North Dakota.
The encounter with the French in the 18th century created a trading link between the French and Native Americans of the region; the Mandan served as middlemen in the trade in furs, horses, guns, crops and buffalo products. Spanish merchants and officials in St. Louis explored the Missouri and strengthened relations with the Mandan (whom they called Mandanas) in an effort to discourage trade in the region by the English and the Americans. The Spanish sought to establish direct overland communication between Santa Fé and St. Louis.


I always considered Mr. Clinton and Hillary to be city bumpkins.

Lmao...yea, be didn't inhale. Bwahahaha! Now THATS a pair of scroungy Hippies. Don't think either of them even owned a brush, and shampoo was anathema. Heading to the Grateful Dead concert, but they weren't stoned out of their gourds. Just puffed on the doob to fit in.

Bill Clinton tries to insult Rednecks?
By calling himself one? How does that work?

So you're waaaaay off. That's bull.

I give as good as I get. Better even. I can EASILY get under the skin of a redneck. It's like breathing or drinking water.

And you Texas types are the easiest among the redneck crowd to agitate. Lol

I'm saying that rednecks aren't impervious to insults and I'd know because I've insulted them plenty of times in response to them insulting me. Like anyone else, their skin can easily be gotten under.

So this narrative that rednecks have thicker skin is hogwash. I can easily prove it in person.

Yeah...they got under my skin from time to time. But it's all in great fun, right? That is, until someone's feelings get hurt.

I don't know if that poster is an Indian or not, but the quacking I hear sounds like a duck.




Feelings hurt, huh?

Nice try though.

For goodness sakes, man. You are portraying a petulant artless POV.
Did you ever consider that those people became upset with you, because of how you acted and not the words you used?
Perhaps you are the type to miss your own self fulfilling prophecies?
