it's funny because in most cases I'd totally agree his unfocused rants are pathetic and loud, but after watching how many years of Fox News (and any american news for that matter), I think "Fuck Texas" is about as apt a sentiment as you can get about a state as backwards as they are.

See, there's no rationale when dealing with people like that. there's no intelligent debate, there's no calm rational discussions, the extreme right (fox news, texas, alabama, other 'red states') are known for getting support by catering to old timey, traditionalist, small government sentimentalities of people living in the past and winning by being so loud and obnoxious that 'mature' people who just want to make the world a better place and progress are too busy trying to make the world a better place to waste their time and energy in a fruitless shouting match with the far right. When people like this 'atheist' dude and Keith Olbermann shout back, it's just them resorting to the same shout-tactics that they've been unsuccessfully fighting against for decades.

It's a matter of "fighting fire with fire".

Keep fighting the good fights against the demons of the Deep South, eh? They're just impedients to progress and should really just be thrown to the wayside.

it sounds ignorant, I agree, but it's true.  horrible as it sounds, I have a problem with ignorant people and would love to fight a war agaisnt them.
