The Dis-uniter: Bush Shows Contempt for the Blue States

http://www.freep.com/news/statewire/sw104120_20040913.htm
From the Associated Press:
"What would you expect from a senator from Massachusetts?" Bush said, as a partisan crowd cheered the reference to Kerry's home state and its liberal leanings.
If Kerry said something so dismissive of a Red State -- and its citizens -- Rush Limbaugh, Bill O'Reilly, and the Bush supporting segment of the Blogosphere would be venting anger over the quote for days, and resurrecting it for months.

Oh this is normal politics, it is more of crack about both Senators from Massachusetts, I think you blowing it out of proportion, Kerry probably already used the Texas reference, and if he hasn't than he will, I don't see nothing truly that negative here, as for Limbaugh, of course he is a member of the VRWC (Vast Right Wing Conspiracy), as for Bill O'Reilly he would make the comment that Kerry should do it to show that all is fair in politics, O'Reilly may lean a little right, but is still an independent.

Look at the picture below this line, and might help to explain it a little.

I think its funny that George HW, George W and Jeb Bush, along with Kerry's father all went to the same high school in Mass. Interesting.

Good school, maybe why and George HW wanted to support his Alma Mater by sending his sons there, have to remember the Bush Family is not originally from Texas.

That's a bad and misleading title, by the by, since Bush only commented on Masschusetts, not every single state that is blue, might want to rethink your title there.
