Fellow Southerners (I call myself a "Southerner" now since I've been here for 14 years), in case you didn't already know, there are those in the North who look down upon you. I used to be one of them. Then again, I used to think that we were causing global warming too, but that was back when I was young and naive.
There is a belief prevalent among the so-called "enlightened" northerners that those of us who live in the south are a bunch of mouth-breathing hicks who just sit around in our overalls chewin' "tobaccee" while playin' the banjo. The worst are the liberal academic elitists. They think that the way the south is depicted in episodes of "Family Guy" is true and accurate. It's true, the south may have been that way once... several decades ago, but it surely isn't now. It reminds me of growing up in Pittsburgh in the 70s and 80s and out-of-towners coming in and being astonished at how clean the city was. Their perception of the city was the same as what they were taught in school -- a smoky, dirty city.
Listen to this guy and tell me if you find him more or less offensive than Rush Limbaugh and his now infamous "slut" and "prostitue" statements. By the way, this clip is now 4 days old and I am just hearing about it for the first time.
When should the families of these "grease spots" expect an apology?
How many sponsors will leave this idiot's show?
When should southern Christians expect an apology for being portrayed in this light?
I'm not going to hold my breath. The outrage at Rush is much less about people being offended at his remarks and more about getting him taken off the air and silenced for good. I, on the other hand hope that this liberal talk show host continues to stay on the air and spout off the bull crap that he does. Let the chips fall where they may, as long as it's not in the south. The only chips fallin' down here are cow chips! YEEEE HAWWW!!!
