face=Arial size=2>if he is factually correct, then he's making a valid
point -- that some of these are not true redneck qualities. He is saying
that some of these qualities are shared with non-rednecks and some are not
redneck qualities at all. </FONT></SPAN></DIV>

since this is all about foolish stereotypes, <BR>New York Jews, especially
Orthodox Jews who spend most of their lives in Brooklyn and Queens, have
little occasion to learn how folks in Alabama and Mississippi talk about
northern liberals. (Or rather, how those who feature in movies and stereotypes
talk). The Jew-boy with the beard in Meridian had first hand knowledge, until
he ended up buried beneath a dam site with two fellow civil rights volunteers
in 1963.</FONT></FONT></FONT></SPAN></DIV>

face="Times New Roman">There is an old joke that in the Democratic primary in
a southern state (in the days when winning the Democratic primary was
equivalent to being elected), the way to bury an opponent was to tell
audiences at campaign rallies that your opponent's sister at a northern
liberal college matriculated with thespians. (The p is often pronounced like a
b).</FONT></SPAN></DIV>

face="Times New Roman">George Corley Wallace, a several time governor of
Alabama, who incidentally was not a racist, merely an opportunist,* used to
talk about "point-headed liberals" and intellectuals, etc. My favorite Wallace
slip was at the 1972 Democratic National Convention, when he was brought to
the stage in his wheel chair, Larry O'Brien obsequiously telling the
microphone how glad they all were to have him there (a Romneyesque deception
if there ever was one, but Mitt was still rather young then), and concluded
his speech with a derogatory remark about intellectual... then he paused,
realizing he had neglected to put the prefix "pseudo-" before the word
"intellectual," and amended his concluding word "snob" with "pseudo-" so it
came out "intellectual ... pseudo-snobs."</FONT></SPAN></DIV>

face="Times New Roman">* Wallace in the early sixties proclaimed "segregation
today, segregation tomorrow, segregation forever." But when he ran for
governor again in the late 1970s, finding about 1/3 of the electorate were
Americans of African descent, and a lot of "white" voters were now
Republicans, he eagerly embraced the support of "black" voters, saying anyone
who wanted to go back to segregation was crazy. Black voters looked at the
Republican candidate, and voted for Wallace. Whatever got him elected, that's
what he believed in.</FONT></SPAN></DIV>

<DIV align=left dir=ltr><SPAN class=740362202-25112012><FONT color=#ff0000
face="Times New Roman">He became an ardent segregationist after an early race
when an opponent insinuated he was a "n----- lover." After losing the
election, Wallace told his cronies, "Boys, they out-n-----ed me, and I ain't
never going to be outn-----ed again." But he didn't really believe it. He just
ran with it.<BR></DIV></FONT></SPAN>
