Battle Of The Rednecks
Good old boys Edwards and Clark are trying to “out-Southern” each other, says The New Republic . That dog won't hunt.

2. This Southerner...
doesn't much care for the terms "Southern" and "Red-neck" being treated as synonyms.

5. I read this same article over
the weekend as published by a different source.

Although I don't recall the title, it was NOT what cbsnews chose.

Redneck is just as pejorative and bigoted as any other slur and I find it offensive.
