When I suggested to K that such a story could have as easily been made up about Southern rednecks, she noted that the story hadn't been about them. So I found one that was. That's all.

To the best of my knowledge, the picture is not being passed around Conservative blogs and being believed. In fact, the mailing list that I got it from is not a place where one can post a conservative opinion without a firestorm erupting and the person who posted it is, I believe based on his posts, a liberal Democrat.

However, the post was quickly responded to and debunked by the most liberal person on the list and someone else who spent substantial time and effort working on the Kerry campaign.

There are many things I don't understand either. :)
