The main stream media loves blue/rust/black collar voters as long as those voters regurgitate what the main stream media expects. Otherwise it confuses them.
Democratic country keeps its distance from Obama
Like most people in Mingo County, West Virginia, Leonard Simpson is a lifelong Democrat. But given a choice between Barack Obama and John McCain in November, the 67-year-old retired coalminer would vote Republican.
“I heard that Obama is a Muslim and his wife’s an atheist,” said Mr Simpson, drawing on a cigarette outside the fire station in Williamson, a coalmining town of 3,400 people surrounded by lush wooded hillsides.
For the MSM we'll list the confounding problems:
Mingo County - not confounding - filled with people too stupid to buy opera tickets
West Virginia - not confounding - filled with people too stupid to buy a New Yorker
Coalminers - confounding - they used to be reliable. Union members should know better that racism doesn't preclude unionism. Unionism precludes racism.
Muslims - not confounding - We're so dumb we think Obama is a Muslim which bolsters semi-rich intellectuals thinking that they're smarter than us little folks.
Atheist - not confounding - We're so smart we think Michelle Obama is an atheist which bolsters semi-rich intellectuals thinking that they're smarter.
Cigarette - not confounding - If you like tobacco you are too stupid to exist. Period.
Fire Station - confounding - Great image, but you might be conservative. Shut up and smile.
Lush wooded hillsides - Thrown in because journalism teachers taught them that.
Liars - The reporters above.
