I know quite a few and I follow many more, and the wing nut rockers we hear spewing their bile are a tiny minority.

Isn't Hank Williams Jr. the one where men in there 40's and 50's+ would dress up exactly like him when they attended his concerts?
He was popular in the 1990's, but I think he's kind of a has-been now.
Maybe he has Ted Nugent syndrome.

I think they're just a racist or a hateful wingnut idiot - possibly both.

Amazing how the racism and bigotry exploded in America over the last 3 years.

I wait every single day for the Bullies and Baggers and KKKrazy to use the "n" word...it's like it is SO on the
tip of the tongue every day...like it's just a matter of time.

And even with showing how much they (aka Flipp'n Mittens and CouponCareRyan) lie, cheat, back stab, etc....ANY white candidate is good enough for these types...it doesn't matter if they ran a white male axe murderer against the President...they would vote for the killer. Period. And that is the biggest battle, to me, that we have to fight from now on in elections.

And rage against the machine, a really good rock band recently just put Paul Ryan in his place.

By the way megadeaths lead singer, birther that he is, claimed to have given up drugs and to have become a born again Christian. I don't believe him. Like all birthers he is definitely on something

They also see themselves getting old and senile. And they are EXTREMELY threatened by a young, black, vigorous President with a gorgeous wife, since they all have wattles, shriveled testicles, and pot bellies.
