(492 posts)yeah, I'd say you need to say more.
If the bystanders -- especially the cowboy -- had ignored the boob and let his drunken attack continue, it would have been easy to extrapolate from the event to the entire population of the State of Texas. But, holy crow, they were on the idiot and had him to the ground in a DFW second. The boob is, indeed, hateful, racist, ignorant. And, when he gets out of jail, he'll likely be touted as a hometown hero by his bro's and ho's. But what the video shows is that, at least in this one significant instance, the good folks far outnumber the boobs, even in Texas! (And some of them good folks, btw, are probably of the RW persuasion -- go figure.)
But I get where you're com in' from. Any State that can elect and re-elect a dim bulb like Rick Perry (about whom it has been said that "unlike GWB who likes to play act at being stupid, Rick Perry is the genuine article" paraphrasing Molly Ivins there. ) has to make an intelligent person wonder what in hell they put in the water down there.
