2010: The Year of the Hillbilly Candidate! Perhaps you saw this racist bullshit. And maybe you even saw this just as racist bullshit. Well, here’s an ad that’s not so much racist as it is completely freaking ignorant to the basic premise of EVOLUTION. But we’re talking about hillbillies here… so maybe I shouldn’t be so surprised.
What I want to know is which candidate is going to come out in favor of fucking a pig behind the barn?

Bang bang, choo-choo train, let me see you shake that thang. Wm. Steven Humphrey is the editor-in-chief of the Portland Mercury and has held the job since 2000. (So don’t get any funny ideas.)

  1. There’s an old joke about the reason why the film adaptation of Deliverance was shot in Georgia instead of Alabama. Apparently, not only could the film crew depend upon getting electricity in Georgia, but the locals wouldn’t think it was a documentary. (I’ll warn you that you’ll tell the moment you pass over the Florida state border into Alabama on I-10 by watching the side. The roadkill is completely absent between there and the outskirts of Houston, although you’ll find lots of skid marks leading to obvious kill sites. Lots of dead tires, though, probably because they’re too hard to cook.)

  2. Well at least AL is not TX:

    A poll there found that 38% of Texans said “human beings developed over millions of years with God guiding the process” and 38% agreed that “God created human beings pretty much in their present form about *10,000* years ago”

    30% of them agreed that humans live at the same time as the dinosaurs and 30% don’t know!

  3. “Lets call all conservatives hillbillies then complain about how they are prejudice. Your a fucking idiot.”

  4. Dammit Abusive! The comment was way more hilarious before you went and pointed out exactly why Idiot lives up to his nom de internet.

    That said, did they really use this guy’s interpretation of the Bible as not completely, 100% literal (read: the same interpretation publicly embraced by essentially the entirety of the world’s Christian leadership) as a strike against him? Does the constituency prefer that their candidates disagree with their respective church hierarchy in favor of promoting unrealistic, at-best-allegorical fictions that contradict both official doctrine AND physical reality?

    Why did we ever stop the Confederacy from seceding?
