    Im willing to contribute my buck-o-five

  2. Isengrim says:

    Hopefullly first, this time!

    This picture, really, um …

  3. whatcrap says:

    Ah, and these “rednecks” are acceptable I take it?

    • Seth says:

      All rednecks are acceptable. Poverty and ignorance are the problem, not the people living in poverty and ignorance. People are people, some are good, some are bad, most are just doing what everyone around them does.

      • whatcrap says:

        And if they were “rednecks” for McCain? I kind of doubt they would be acceptable here.

        • herb says:

          Nope. We’d run ‘em down with our Volvos and throw lattes at them.

          *eyeroll*

        • Seth says:

          If they were smart, polite, and well reasoned, they would be very welcome here, no matter what their political affiliation. Maybe you missed the thread a few pic down where I and two other non-conservatives defended a conservative from an unfair attack.

          • whatcrap says:

            I did see that and it was very nice to see. You are actually very fair minded it seems.

          • Paul says:

            If they were “Smart, polite and well reasoned” they wouldn’t be rednecks, would they?

            • froofrou says:

              As someone who goes back and forth from being a redneck during deer season to a ‘regular person’ every other time of the year, I disagree :-)

              • Well I don’t go hunting, but I have been called a redneck on occasion. But my country boy roots aren’t in how big my truck is but in how I act. Chivalry hasn’t died in the south lol. My girlfriend was shocked when I held the door open for her and helped her with the groceries the first time i went to the store with her. Apparently she had to beg her ex to get his ass off the couch. Personally I never liked the guy, I would come over to hang out with Brandi long before we got together and he would see me and just start telling me how stupid i was to actually believe an invisible man in the sky made me and how questioned how far I would get in life believing that.

                He is now in his 3rd year at a community college, and I am at a University! :)

                I’m aware that was random, but I can’t stand the guy and it does somewhat tie into this thread

                • froofrou says:

                  My husband actually gets mad at me if I open a door for myself. We’ve come to a compromise about the car door, because I’m a naturally impatient person and don’t like just sitting there to wait on him to get around the car, but I give in on Sundays :-) My last BF before I met my husband sounds like your GFs ex. Except that my ex was a holy rolling son of a Representative of my state, and looked like a great catch on paper. He was an ass, though, and almost managed to ruin my life before I met my ‘redneck’ of a husband. The man who loves to hunt and fish, played minor league baseball, doesn’t like wearing cowboy hats and boots, and who treats me like a goddess. I wish everyone was as lucky as your GF and me :-)

            • PortlandMark says:

              No no no, we call them the “Hank Hill Rednecks”.

      • Jen Ingram says:

        Have you ever heard the phrase ‘owning the word’? ‘Redneck is as offensive as any other racial or ethnic slur. Southerners have been branded ‘rednecks’ by people living in the North for years. The cliche is that slow talking, hardworking, simple living people are inferior and because of their work outdoors and in the fields where they toil they have a sunburned neck or ‘redneck’. The fact of the matter is that mosty of the South is so far more diverse and accepting that even MSNBC recently published an article called ‘The New Mississippi’ where they pointed out (grudgingly perhaps) that Mississippi leads the nation in black politicians and tolerance. When everyone is looking at you and labeling you as something, you fight it and work to make sure you are not ever guilty of those things again.

        Rednecks for Obama was started when some ignorant person in the media made a comment about how Obama will never win in the South because he’s black and the ‘rednecks’ won’t vote for him. Here are the facts: I live in the South, have all my life. Everyday I go out and see an ocean of tolerance: mixed race families, Asians, Native Americans, whites, blacks–and everyone works and gets along together. In the South, color isn’t the issue as much as rich vs poor. The poor will always be poor and when you have a family and live in a town where the highest paying factory job is 28k a year compared to another state that has union protection and gets 50k for the exact same job, you know the taste of sawdust in your mouth. People here struggle for the simplest things and when you are scrambing to but groceries you can’t just up and leave for another town or another state. All the hybrid cars and fuel efficient vehicles in the world don’t matter when all you can afford is a ten year old truck because you live on ten miles of dirt road and you can’t swing a big car payment. Mississippians pay about three times more taxes than people living in states like North Carolina but their roads are pitiful and their schools are so poorly supplied their kids are required to bring toilet paper and handsoap to the school. When gas prices went up the whole nation felt the crunch but here, in the deep South, when you are barely hanging on and your weekly bills, not including groceries, go up to $399 a week when you are bringing home $415 a week, how the hell do you feed your kid?

        There is no black or white, it’s rich and poor. If you’re poor and living here it doesn’t matter what color you are, we’re all slaves to the man. Rednecks for Obama? You damn right.

        • Pepper13 says:

          Next you are going to tell us that we can’t call people “Europeans” because they live in Europe, that it’s racist.

        • sally says:

          You rock…
          :)

        • Liz says:

          A-freakin-men.

        • ice_army says:

          From a southerner to another southerner, I hear ya. And I understand. I make less than my counterparts, and am in the ”poor” designation. I will never afford a new car. I’m lucky to make my bills every month, and lately it’s been getting harder. BTW- i thought only our kids were required to do that! I make less than 30,000 a year- and pay more taxes than someone making 75,000. Fair? Yeah, right!

          • markmier says:

            Sounds like you need an accountant, then.

            When you say “someone,” you are probably technically correct, I am sure that there is someone out there making $75k that pays less tax than you do. However, that is not the norm, and closing various tax loopholes would even that up.

        • feathehloom says:

          I just wanted to say how much I appreciate this comment. I work in a public library in a small Southern town, and have developed a huge amount of respect for the people of Appalachia. Many are living in poverty, but they’re incredible people who have managed to keep a rich culture alive, including a language, a music and a literature all their own. They are one of the groups that keep this country running at the most fundamental levels and they get almost no thanks for it. They’re an inspiration to me and greatly deserving of the nation’s respect.

        • I lived in Pontotac, MS for years. God we were dirt poor back then. I feel ya, hun. I truly do. I am better off in Iowa but that is closing down fast too. X_X

        • minerva146 says:

          Unfortunately, There have always been people slamming on those they perceive as “hicks” for at least a few thousand years. The word pagan began as a slur for rural romans as basically unsophisticated bumpkins. It was a good enough slur that the church even ran with it to villify a lot more people!
          -
          [Middle English, from Late Latin pฤgฤnus, from Latin, country-dweller, civilian, from pฤgus, country, rural district; see pag- in Indo-European roots.]

          -
          I come from a small town originally, in a rural area, so even though I live in a metropolitan area now, I too find it frustrating to find rural americans marginalized. Some live up to the stereotype, but there are plenty who are a lot more. It’s sort of a shame rural communities get forgotten when talking about education reform. There’s a lot of rural districts that are as lacking and/or poor as inner-city ones, but they get overlooked.

        • vanima says:

          good job Jen…

          Redneck is considered a offensive slur.. to some people… not all.. BUT i get what you mean..

          It is a struggle in many areas in the south. Coming from Louisiana, I get what you are saying COMPLETELY.

    • Musicmom870 says:

      Acceptable?? They’re “real Americans ™”.

    • SteelSkin says:

      Yeah, they’re “decent family men”

  4. Leland Dantzler says:

    Holy CRAP this is unfunny. Wow. Like, I don’t care what side you’re from, this has nothing funny in it…

  5. scum-bot says:

    Screw the caption, the picture s just win

  6. Yarcofin says:

    Is it just me, or do both of these guys look like John McCain?

  7. SisterSue says:

    They have their own website, too. It’s pretty cool, actually.

  8. fearlessleeder says:

    That is Tony Viessman and Les Spencer.
    Two very solid Amercians, in every sense of the word!
    Get to their website and show your support – rednecks4obama.com

    • Obama's Orgasm Squad says:

      I’m sure you all will be just as thrilled when that socialist bigot takes office and begins taking away our money, freedom, and guns.

      Just wait, you’ve been suckered!

      • lowly grunt says:

        *sigh*
        And I’m very very very happy to be suckered. Climb down off your high horse and converse with people if you want us to take you seriously.

  9. kthnxbai says:

    LOL awesome!

  10. D'oh says:

    No no no, it’s:
    SEAKING. FUCK YEAH!!!

  11. Biscuit says:

    There is hope! *happy dance*

  12. Spanky says:

    Well, haven’t you Libs been whining about how stupid rednecks are? This proves it!

    • Maxwell Silverhammer says:

      No we’ve been complaining how stupid PEOPLE are.. Im sad you automatically attach rednecks to that label. Thats an awful generalization. Stupid People = Stupid.
      Redneck =/= Stupid.

      • shinobi says:

        akshully you have been calling rednecks racists and stupid and a lot of other things… till one or two of them start supporting your messiah then all of a sudden there cooool.

        Someone needs to kill obama just so that they can say “where is your messiah now?”

        • froofrou says:

          Ok, at the risk of sounding like an uneducated hick, you’re a dumba$$.

          • PortlandMark says:

            And you ma’am, are not.

          • shinobi says:

            thats all you can come up with? seriously? prove that your loved ones in the media or on these threads or hell the daily Kos havent been calling rednecks racists… he one of your fucking congressmen called them that on camera! So why dont you go do your research before you call me a dumbass… you worthless dipshit fascist loving liberal moron.

            • froofrou says:

              Ok, you went there.
              -
              Anyone who calls for the death of another human being simply because he or she doesn’t like that other human being is not only a dumba$$, but is a sick, sociopathic miscreant who needs to be cleansed from the earth the same as is being advocated for the person they disagree with.
              -
              I am a Christian Conservative Republican with Moderate leanings and some really weird views on policy. I don’t like Obama. I don’t like his policies, nor what he stands for. But I WILL NOT call for his death on the grounds that he and I disagree.
              -
              Why don’t you go back under the rock you crawled out from under and bake there for a little while longer until you are mature enough to actually read and figure out who you are responding to before you make a dipsh*t claim about my beliefs and ideals. Come back when you’ve hit puberty and your parents aren’t embarassed of you anymore. We don’t need you here.

            • You do realize you just insulted one of the coolest conservatives on the site right? You do realize that the green pus you call a brain isn’t firing the proper amount of synaptic response to word a coherent argument right? Then again, all things considered, especially your posts, I am wasting my proverbial e-breath just responding to this but I wouldn’t dishonor myself by not responding to such a pathetic attack on my friend.

              • Maxwell Silverhammer says:

                I also feel much contempt for being lumped in with what a politician said.
                I take no association with anyone in EITHER major party. I also do not
                associate myself with Obama, Im merely voting for him. I was responding
                to the comment in defense of the posters on this board. “We” have no called
                any rednecks stupid. Pointed out stereotypes, maybe, but thats not calling
                a person or way of life stupid. “We” here on these boards have NOT been
                calling rednecks stupid. And I stand by that comment.

            • ema says:

              Really shinobi, I usually respect your posts but this was over the line. What’s the deal? Froofrou is one of the most conservative and the most fair posters, believe me if anyone on here called for McCain to be killed they would get the same calling out from her. That’s the way she is.

        • E says:

          What exactly makes you qualified to determine a true redneck? I grew up in the country, love my guns, and hate taxes. And I was undecided until McCain picked Palin for his VP slot and chose style over substance.

        • jules says:

          wow, pull your head from your anus

        • nah, if anyone needs to die, they need to look at you. Hey why don’t you take care of that for us, try not to miss, oh and don’t be one of those pussys that have to take others with them, just be a real man and do yourself. Oh, be sure to put some drop cloths down so it will be easier to clean up.

    I’m confused. What’s the joke?

  18. shinobi says:

    true rednecks arent for obama… true rednecks believe in the right to own firearms, the right to life, and hate taxes… these guys are posers who just happen to live in the country.

    • n8 says:

      “True” rednecks? As I guy who grew up in NC, I’ll tell you that all you have to do to be a “true” redneck is wear a John Deere or Red Man cap, hunt deer, drink beer, and love Jesus. It’s a state of mind blessedly free of politics. Many do trend Republican, but there are just as many proud Democrats.

      • Phaelin says:

        Depends on location, I suppose. I’m pretty sure Georgia would boast a staggering higher number of Republicans. Not saying that’s a good thing, but by your definition of a redneck (which I agree with, I assure you) GA must have a rule about wearing camouflage and voting Republican. Also, if you don’t go to church, you’re some kind of tainted soul. That’s an argument for another post, though. :D

    • Maveness says:

      So suddenly I’m not a true redneck because of politics? Funny, last I checked, the color of my neck had nothing to do with politics.

      The posers are the people that think one simple label can define a lot of people the same way. People are individuals. They have different backgrounds. They have different experiences. I resent people who have defined a whole block of the country as bad because those states voted one way in the last election. Everyone has the right to vote how they want to. I tell people that it’s important to know what issues are important to YOU, do your research, and vote based upon that, not upon some preconceived notion of what a party represents (because don’t tell me that the CURRENT Republican party is being fiscally conservative – the deficit says otherwise). If Obama wins, I’ll be happy. If McCain wins, I can deal. It’s a freaking democracy and my redneck ancestors had just as much a say in creating it as the Yankee blue bloods.

      So don’t you DARE try and claim that I and people like me are anti-American because we don’t bow to your every whim. Don’t say that I don’t have a voice because I don’t fit your ideal. I’m a redneck, true as can be. And I’m voting for who I want to vote for.

      • Obama's Orgasm Squad says:

        Just wait, you’ve been suckered!

        I’m sure all will be just as thrilled when that socialist bigot takes office and begins taking away our money, freedom, and guns.

        • Maveness says:

          Honey, I don’t know if you understand how the Constitution works, but it takes more than a President to take away rights. The Supreme Court would have to take away the guns. The money? Um, federal watchdog group looked at the party plans and guess who’s going to be spending more money based on what they want to do? Republicans. (I say that as someone who is fiscally conservative, so it ticks me off when the party I used to agree with on that front is spending way too liberally.) And the only way freedom can be taken away is if we the people let it. We’re too mouthy a country. It won’t happen anytime soon.

    • PhilipShade says:

      I know plenty of self proclaimed and proud rednecks and crackers who know that Obama is the man of the people. Not some McCain who is the DEFINITION of DC elite.

      Son and grandson of admirals. Went to a highschool that costs $40,000 a year. only graduated bottom of his class but still got big jobs because of daddy’s connections.

  19. cherie says:

    woot woot.
    rednecks who actually use their brains to think!!

  20. stanzebla says:

    Very cute rednecks :) I like their style, their homepage is also nice. They say: โ€œWe Hunt, Fish, Drink Beer and Support Barack Obamaโ€.
    I am not american so I don’t care if calling themselves rednecks is against some kind of unwritten law. ^^

  21. Ceefax says:

    And in other news, Al Quaeda supporters have backed John McCain (Click my name for article)

    • Robert says:

      And Hamas has openly endorsed Obama. Oh, and Farrakhan called him the Messiah.

      • Ceefax says:

        “Los Angeles Police Chief William J. Bratton said Wednesday he believes that Al Qaeda leader Osama bin Laden might try to influence next month’s U.S. presidential election through a terrorist attack or some less dramatic tactic.”

        Guess who he think’s Bin Laden will try and influcence people to vote for? Click my name for full article.

        • ema says:

          They won’t do that. They don’t fear Obama in any way and would prefer him in the white house.

          • Ceefax says:

            Rubbish, the past 8 years of the Bush administration had given them the perfect climate to recruit large numbers, another 4 years of GOP would be the best thing that’s ever happened to them and they know it.

            Oh, wait, you’re obviously a bigger expert on security than a chief of police.

            • ema says:

              Nope, the GOP will clobber them, and they know it. What makes this “Cheif of Police” so sure? He isn’t an Obama supporter, is he?

            • ema says:

              Oh, here is a quote: “Put simply: Bin Laden probably realizes it could become markedly more difficult to paint the United States as the ‘Great Satan’ with a new president who is admired internationally,” they wrote.” — LOL!! Bin Laden doesn’t call us the Great Satan because of Bush! They have been calling us that for decades because of our percieved decadence and the intrusion of our culture on theirs (read pornography, abortion, womans rights etc. they hate those things)

  22. Robert says:

    Why is it that rednecks are only cool when they swing hard left? For that matter, why are women/minorities/children/the elderly/etc. only cool when they swing left?

    • PortlandMark says:

      Because swinging right is always uncool. It’s a vote for welfare for the rich, anti-labor policies, government intrusion in your private life, and borrow and spend policies.

    • vervain says:

      “…why are women/minorities/children/the elderly/etc. only cool when they swing left?”

      Probably because voting against your own interests is generally seen as kinda dumb.

    • Maveness says:

      My experience? Is that after Bush was elected, there was such animosity that “red states” became a curse word. Anything associated with red states was bad. Voted Republican? You’re obviously evil. Never mind if your state also happened to elect Democrats into high ranking positions.

      Right now it’s easy to be vocally against the Bush administration and everything it has represented. So it’s easy to bash anyone that is perceived to be a part of that. The hard part is recognizing that people have choices and the right to make them, whether you agree with them or not. Both sides have problems with that, it’s just more obvious when bashing Republicans or anyone potentially labeled with them.

      The country’s a lot more complex than comments on a message board like to make out.

      • lowly grunt says:

        You are right that is is easy to be opposed to Bush now.

        Try being opposed to Bush in 2000 and everyday since. There are a lot of us out there and we have the scars – and fractured families – to prove it.

        • Phaelin says:

          I can only imagine the arguments… “Bush? But he’s -saving our country-!” Not that it’s an untrue statement or anything for the time, but he became (almost) everyone’s hero for awhile after all that went down.

  23. Eric the Barbaric says:

    We’re coming

  24. VOTE! says:

    This picture was taken on the gorgeous campus of Washington University in St. Louis on the day of (or days preceding) the 2008 Vice-Presidential Debate in St. Louis!

  25. The abombination that is American party politics says:

    You will be assimilated

    (and if you rationally disagree with the Obamaphiles even if you’re NOT a McCain supporter…then you need sensitivity training, a lobotomy reeducation camp or possibly just a lot of really poorly-captioned lolz. Goodness people. Your herd mentality is suffocating whatever hope of wit you might have possessed).

  26. FRED says:

    this is so sad. you can’t be amurrikan and a liberal.

    so so sad.

  27. Kalis-Hussein-tongue says:

    Just thought I would throw in something I heard on NPR the other day….. An interviewer was randomly asking people in a small mining town in either W.Virginia or Virginia (forget which) who they intended to vote for. They played two clips, the first was a man who was a life-long democrat who intended to vote for McCain; he admitted the main reason was that he was prejudiced, although he said he might vote for a black candidate if he had more experience. But maybe not. At least he was honest.

    The second one tickled me, he was an 84 year old man outside the gas station:

    “Who will you be voting for?”
    “‘Bamer”
    “excuse me?”
    “Obamer!
    “and why is that?”
    “because that other guy, he don’t care about poor people like me…”

  28. Stacy says:

    Yup. Herd mentality. That’s what it is, all right. Everyone who disagrees with you thinks exactly the same way. ‘Cause they couldn’t possibly think for themselves and come to different conclusions, could they?

    Jeez. I hope you’re an adolescent–chronologically speaking, I mean; it’s clear that you are one mentally–because if you’re over twenty-one your arrogance is truly icky.

  29. Stacy says:

    My last post was in reply to “abomination”. I clicked on Reply but…oops.
