I don’t think anyone is reflexively hating on Southern conservatives though many do seem to agree with Mr. Robertson’s views on homosexuality as seen with past votes on gay marriage in many Southern states.. Not sure where you get that one. What we are hating on is a fundamentalist way of looking at the world. I look down on Phil’s worldview the same way I do a Islamic fundamentalist who thinks only the Quran can tell us how to live.

You are aware that the term redneck is an insult, a pejorative term for rural/southern people right? That’s a word that gets thrown around a lot, and not just since this came up. keep in mind I refer to the media and the blogs out there in general, not a complaint about LGF.

Why should a southerner be any less offended at “redneck’ coming from an angry broad brushing critic than an African American at the “N” word?
