US News Writer Losing Mind And Civility
Posted on September 6, 2008
Yesterday I asked if there was anything that could be said about Barry that would not be considered racist (calling him Barry is probably racist, ya know.) Even Barry helped yesterday with his own playing of the racist card.
We have also seen the disintegration and “yup, I’m going insane!” of writers at many news sources and magazines since the pick of Sarah Palin (damn, she really does scare the living hell out of liberals/progressives/elitist surrender monkeys, eh?) Now, witness John Aloysius Farrall (elitist name) at US News and World Report – which has its own circulation and layoff of reporter’s issues- use the term redneck in a derogatory manner
The Republicans Think We’re Redneck Dolts
Well, I’ve listened to three days of speeches from St. Paul, and I’ve never heard such condescending rhetoric.
The Republicans must think we are redneck dolts.
“Redneck dolts.” Rather uncivil language, eh? Matter of fact, this is more like some sort racial epithat. Sure, we use the term down here in the South, and, we do not mind it being used for fun. Quite frankly, the Rednecks keep the elitists in their San Fran mansions fed. But, to use it in this manner is like calling an African America a n*gger.
So, as I asked in the comments, and emailed to the editor of rag, why is it OK to use redneck in such a derogatory manner, one completely equivalent to the use of the N word? Heck, it wasn’t even OK to refer to some college ladies as water buffalo’s. I still haven’t heard back from Useless News and World Report yet, and John doesn’t have the cajones to answer my comment. No surprise there.
Definitely read the rest, as it completely encapsulates the true feelings of the Left, who say they aren’t elitists, but are. For the left, the meaning of elitist is not that they truly are, but that they feel they are better then everyone else, especially those Rubes and hicks in flyover country.
Of course, any response from John would probably come in 1 of 3 flavors: I’m gay, I must be a Bible thumper or I must be a neocon.
PS: For the liberal media, and the Barry Camp, who keep saying that Palin’s speech was negative, and Barry’s wasn’t (hint to the cluebats in the media: Barry is running for Pres, Palin for VP), Jim Lindgren at The Volokh Conspiracy breaks down The One’s Speech.

Redneck Dolts?!?!?!?
OK, I’ll bite. We work the infrastructure to make sure you can get to and from work. We grow the food this country eats. We police the streets and highways. We build the cars and trucks and the airplanes including the bizjets you lefties prefer over the airlines. We fix the cars, trucks, airplanes, locomotives and railcars that are an essential part of the economy.
We volunteer to serve when we are needed by the Nation. You answer the call to duty. I realize that one is an alien concept to You Mr. Farrell. I had the pleasure of serving one of your heroes before, James E. Carter. Not so good being on active service then. But when the oath is taken, it is adhered to.
So, I take pride in being a Redneck Dolt.
Foxworthy said it best. ” WE get and go to work, we get up and go to church and we get up and go to war when necessary”
So, in brief, the Old Retired Petty Officer cordially invites you to pound sand up your ***!
Well written GM Cassel. A Tennessee friend used to work in a New York publishing house. His executive friends often expressed disdain for those of us in “America’s Third World.”
I am so old I remember when US News leaned conservative.
G.M. Cassel calls them like I see them. We “dolts” in flyover space don’t think like the Left Coast / Right Coast liberals. This election will be decided by the 10 percent in the middle–it is 45 percent conservatives against 45 percent liberals at present.
Rocketman
Well as I like to say indeed my neck is red as I am flushed with excitement of the McCain/Palin ticket…..
