Comments on: When Colemans Attack! http://poliblogger.com/?p=5749 A rough draft of my thoughts...

And I am fully aware of the state's problems (<i>acutely</i> aware). However, that doesn't warrant making blanket statements about a place. To stereotype an entire set of people based on one characterstic (in this case geography) is called prejudice. Since Mr. Coleman is clearly accusing us of such, it is ironic that if that is what he is looking for he needs to look in the mirror to find it.

Do a Lexis-Nexis search on the Minneapolis StarTribune for the number of times Alabama has been referred to in the negative vs. positive and you will be stunned. OBL gets slightly better press coverage than Alabama does in the StarTribune.

I think he has a better handle on this blog thing than we give him credit for. Mr. Coleman is probably better known now than he ever was in Minnesota.
