Democrat Congressional Staffer Insults NASCAR Fans

You can often learn much about how someone feels about certain people or groups of people by observing how they act or react in some irrelevant situation. For example, Democrat James Carville's statement "Drag a 100 dollar bill through a trailer park...." concerning Paula Jones' sexual harassment lawsuit against Bill Clinton revealed how he feels about people with lower incomes.

Now we have a Democrat staffer for Rep Bennie Thompson (D - Miss) recommending that political operatives who visit NASCAR events need vaccinations:


RALEIGH, N.C. (AP) -- It got the GOP's engines revving -- a Democratic official suggesting staffers get immunized for several diseases before heading south from Washington and into the Red State wilds of NASCAR country to conduct research at a pair of races.
The reaction on both sides illustrates just how valuable candidates for elected office consider the votes of NASCAR fans who pack grandstands by the thousands every weekend and the donations of business leaders who spend millions to sponsor the sport.

It started last month, when an official with the House Committee on Homeland Security suggested that staff aides get immunizations before visiting health facilities at Alabama's Talladega Superspeedway and North Carolina's Lowe's Motor Speedway, where the Bank of America 500 was run Saturday.
In an e-mail, a staffer who works for committee chairman Rep. Bennie Thompson, D-Miss., noted an "unusual need for whomever attending to be vaccinated against hepatitis A and B," as well as "the more normal things -- tetanus, diphtheria, and of course, seasonal influenza."

The sheer contempt that the left have for people in the red states is amazing. They believe we are all a bunch of inbred hillbillies. And then the idiots can't understand why we don't vote for them!
