Would it be that terrible for us to admit that Barack Obama had some truth in his statements? Howard Dean ran into similar trouble in 2004 when he was talking about people in the South who wave the Confederate flag.
Why is it that every time that Democrats try to talk thoughtfully and intelligently about the challenges facing rural America (a part of the nation I proudly call home), they get called “elitist” or “condescending”? What about acknowledging that rural Americans really do have different values and, more importantly, value systems and that a not insignificant amount of that difference is accounted for by economic reasons? And that’s not something that one can address simply by taking a really lame shot of whiskey.
