Oh Dear
As a loyal Michigan native, I can't let this go without a reaction. Over at Fresh Bilge, in a post about the demographics of the NH primary vote, commenter SteveSadlov has exposed some disturbing bigotry. Whether the bigotry is of the kind he's thinking, however, is something I'll let my readers figure out. Thus spake SteveSadlov:
Plus in Michigan, most white people are complete racists. Those of us living on the coasts cannot comprehend it, it is borderline psychotic. Even amongst Michigan’s wealthy and upper middle class white liberals, I would imagine Obama would face an uphill climb.I believe the relevant term is "reverse provincialism."

It is so easy to throw around terms like racist. But it takes real guts to write something like this classic.

As FB author, I agree with you completely. I am not responsible for my commenters. Sadlov was OTT there, and not for the first time.
