It must be REAL misery sitting there practically in his backyard and being assumed to be his fan just because of geographic proximity.

There are some unfortunate nasty elements of DU who (and I regret this) are Exhibit A that freepers always point to when trying to convince people that all liberals are big-city elitists with their noses in the air. They are NOT representative of all liberals or progressives, of course, but the freepers want to make it LOOK as if they are, because they are so easy to dislike.

Remember all the jokes right after the election from blue-state people about how they were going to secede from all the red states and take all the great, sophisticated culture with them and leave the red states with nothing but hayseed crap? Of course you do. :-( That was a really good example. They never seem to think of how they'd feel if they were visiting Europe and got crapped on because they were assumed to be a stupid hayseed who supported Bush just because they were American.
