The Rude Pundit - Toothless Hicks Agree: We Love Obamacare, Wish a White Man Had Signed It

85. Listen to yourselves

Democrats who think the people of Appalachia are just getting what they deserve. People who some here call toothless hicks, rednecks, ignorant fucks, genetically defective, etc etc etc.

This is what a caring democrat would say:

“… I’ve seen proud men in the hills of Appalachia who wish only to work in dignity, but they cannot, for the mines have closed and their jobs are gone, and no one — neither industry, labor nor government — has cared enough to help …”

– Robert F. Kennedy, 1968

So while some folks complain that Appalachians aren't sufficiently grateful for health coverage, one has to wonder just how deep that concern for Appalachian health really runs:

I'll bet the current administration has made more trips to and invested more in Afghanistan than Appalachia. But by all means, every election cycle do expect our vote. The rest of the time you can forget that we exist or better still, amuse yourselves by trading new pejoratives about how the Appalachian poor, aka the ignorant, toothless fucks, disgust you. Robert Kennedy would be proud.
