That's a very narrow mindset, not unlike that one microsoft employee...
You're accusing somebody of using a straw man? That's rich.
LOL at "adjusts fedora". You da one.
A coworker has met the Robertsons through mutual friends a couple of times. She says that Willie is absolutely the head of all of this. Apparently he was trying to get on Survivor and then realized he could sell the whole family as a show. Stupid, he aint.
Yup. Plus, I kind of get the feeling that when Ol' Phil shuffles off this mortal coil, the youngers won't have much to do with that. I'm not saying that they are what anyone would call progressive, but they want the money, and they're smart enough to realize that the way to make the most money is to alienate as few…

Just another example of why Tracy Moore is my least favorite current Jezebel writer.
Well, the one person we're all familiar with from this group/region/whatever is all of these qualities, so let's make a giant list of those qualities and say all people from this group/region/whatever are like this. As a special bonus, let's be super condescending about it.
Pot, kettle. Kettle, pot.
Some rednecks are just good hearted people born into deep poverty in remote rural areas with little or no access to decent education, basic dental care, or anything like diversity or broad-minded thinking. ....
As a fellow person from the South I was not shocked by Phil Robertson's comments, but I did find them abhorrent, and I find this article to be insulting as well. Maybe not as bad as Duck Dynasty, but still pretty bad.
