UPDATE Shameful Missouri State Fair stunt smears Obama

[Hulk]

18. Time to hose me down...again.

I need to be reminded that letting my prejudice for the South out into the open is wrong. It's hard to keep inside, and it's a pretty damned big elephant in the room. I see too many posts sharing these sorts of tales in "the South", and I quickly want to jump on the wagon and shout just how ass-backward that part of the country is; and then I either suck it up and say nothing, or I splurt out my insults and am reminded that it's "not productive" on these threads. So I shut up and move on.
I won't drive through the South any more than is absolutely necessary...for many reasons such as this. I could share a zillion stories of how backward many aspects of "the South" are; but I have to remind myself that there are some damn wonderful people - progressive, loving people, who inhabit that portion of the USA. Doesn't do any good to alienate them further.
So, Missouri? I'm not surprised in the least. Here's hoping the good people eventually gain control and shut down such incidents in the near future.
