C-Span Host: Religious Southerners = Terrorists

(Hat tip: Laura Ingraham)

Hosting C-Span's "Afterwords" program, in which she interviewed former University of Pennsylvania President Sheldon Hackney, Janet Cohen [wife of former Senator and Clinton Secretary of Defense Bill Cohen (RINO-Maine)], said:
"I'm seeing parallels between what's going on now as we look at life and our world after 9/11. You talk about an overly religious group, you talk about people who resist modernity, and have a desire to oppress other people... I'm not accusing the South of being terrorists, although that culture has terrorized a race of people historically... How do we reconcile the very enemy we're fighting whose traits are very similar to our own."
(emphasis added)

My Comments:
Another northeastern RINO (or at least the wife of one) who still can't get over the fact that the yacht club (a.k.a. the Republican Party before Reagan) has been overrun by Southern yahoos in jon boats.

UPDATE
I've updated the title so that it is clear that the views expressed therein belong to the elitist C-Span host and not to yours truly.

What an utterly irresponsible, silly, self-centred, inane, and just plain dumb thing to say! When thousands of our fellow human beings are suffering from lack of the most basic necessities, and many of the dead aren't being tended to, Janet Cohen comes out with this bit of grade-A stupidity. If she gets her head out of her butt for a nanosecond, she should take a look at CNN. Heck, even a Yankee like me (Canadian, at that!) can see that the majority of people in those reports are black -- the poorest of the poor, who've lost what little they had Where are the terrorists here? Apologies for the vulgarity a ways back, but that sort of brainless stuff makes me crazy -- and I'm a (sort of) liberal... Yeesh, she should go to NO herself and volunteer to help -- God knows they need all the help they can get. I'm stuck here, so all I can do is pray.
