Vocal prejudice is definitely acceptable as long as it isn't directed at certain minority groups, right?

Wow. Way to misinterpret a post. When did I say or imply that?

Wasn't directed at you, sorry.
It was one Arkansan speaking to another, regarding someone else's prejudices.

No problem. Sorry for my reaction. I do have problems with how Arkansans get depicted and this moron doesn't help.
It's like how I hate when a movie is set in the South and someone walks into the sheriff's office. There's no airconditioning and one of those sorry old time fans that just goes back and forth.
We have airconditioning. We don't say "Aw, shucks" (well, not a lot of us). And, we aren't all prejudiced white trash.

I'm an Alabamian. I feel you.
This article caused something rare...I literally had nothing to say when I first read it I was so appalled.

His little tirade has pretty much guaranteed one of his kids is Gay and will come out, move away, and be awesome. Or perhaps he is one of those people who spill hate to deflect and he's been creeping in bathroom stalls and on Craigslist having casual encounters.
I don't think any less of Arkansas for one moron, hi, I live in Idaho we have plenty of our own embarrassing characters. Luckily the worst of them packed up their white pride hate and moved away and Sarah Palin moved back to Alaska. We even got rid of the guy who believed breast cancer is caused by abortion and though his replacement doesn't believe in evolution he is an improvement.

Thanks for the morning laugh!
Arizona isn't exactly the poster child for normalcy either... check out the governors we've had *cough* and then there is the Legislature...
At any rate, I do agree with you that the hate-filled man has something behind all that rage. What it is will be seen eventually; it always works its way to the surface.
