The Mentality

By Kleinheider Posted on May 13, 2008 at 5:54 pm

David Oatney, a proud son of West Virginia stock, derides those who malign Appalachia:

As a descendant and relative on my Mother’s side of a three-time U.S. Senator and former Governor of West Virginia, I find this mentality to stink with effete snobbery. There are often times that I wonder if some of the educated hippies, yippies, yuppies, and guilt-ridden wealthy white people who populate the Obama campaign secretly stand around and sing “Elitism is Neat” while mocking those of us who live the life of the typical Middle American. If Liberals wonder why it is that Barack Obama can’t win the votes of blue-collar whites, the mentality expressed by Obama’s supporters is the reason why.

Ha, ha, ha, ha, ha. This is a joke, right? Can a man claim to be descended from good stock and deride others for being elitist in the next breath and be serious?
