I'm just saying that if a politician spent time making fun of educated liberal elites, then they'd be applauded. But if a politician promoted negative stereotypes about West Virginia, they'd get killed for it.

We just watched this happen over Obama's bittergate comments. It was perceived that he was taking a shot small town America and he got killed by the media for a couple of weeks. At that same time Hillary Clinton used that opportunity to show how much of a woman of the people she is and made fun of liberal elites.

It's just annoying that it's common to promote one stereotype and then turn around and cry foul for other stereotypes. Shouldn't we just say that stereotyping isn't cool?
