Hillary: Practically A Redneck Pennsylbaman Herself

We learn many, many things from the illuminating video below.

Hillary's pop stacked paper at Dunder-Miflin Scranton, grandpappy was an 11 year-old bobbin boy in the Scranton mills, and she herself grew up a God-fearing gun-toter.

I have never heard these parts of Hillary's biography. Hell, it made me kinda like her! (kinda)

Too bad it took Obama's gift to make her fess up to her red state proclivities, and it's still probably too late anyway:

UPDATE: Thanks, Ace. Instalanche! Thanks, Glenn. Want a comprehensive list of all the small Pennsylvania towns Obama's gonna lose...with a catchy Cash beat?

UPDATE: Welcome, memeorandum, Volokh, and Ed Driscoll readers. Here's the inevitable, uncomfortable follow-up question Hillary received:

Minutes later, in a slightly awkward moment, Clinton faced a question from a woman in the audience whose son had been paralyzed by a gunshot. The woman asked Clinton what she would do about gun control as president.

Clinton touted her husband's record on gun control during his administration, and said "there is not a contradiction between protecting Second Amendment rights" and the effort to reduce crime.

Noting that many hunters and gun collectors want to keep weapons out of the hands of criminals, Clinton referred to her positive childhood experiences with firearms.

"As I told you, my dad taught me how to shoot behind our cottage,” she said. “I have gone hunting. I am not a hunter. But I have gone hunting."

Clinton said she has hunted ducks.

It really bugs the hell outta me every time a politician equates support for the Second Amendment exclusively to protecting some random outdoor recreation --- James Madison is spinning in his grave, muttering "Crap. Forgot the snowboard amendment." It's not about hunting.

Whatever, Hillary's gun story is probably a lie anyway. Be veh-wii, veh-wii kehfull with your hunting yarns, Hillary:

Bear Bryant is spinning in his grave (Pennsylbaman!). :sob:
;)

That's why she went to fight the war in the Balkans, of course.

This is funny, because you know Hill thinks the same damn thing Obama does about us hicks. She's just smart enough to keep her piehole shut and suck up to people she loathes.

[Cuffy Meigs]

Heh, I knew that'd git you, Beth! (War Eagle)

[I'm Lovin' it.]

The absolute best part of this primary grinding on and on is that, regardless of how much the MSM tries to bury the gaffes of a democrat (as Ace points out in his trackback above), the other candidate will be right there to bring it out.

Keep hope... er... the train wreck alive!

[Rick Sparks]

What the fuck is with that fake accent? She's a frickin' sociopath.

[sikantis]

I'm always touched how emotionally people discuss election themes. Where is esteem?

[DensityDuck]

You know, if Hillary gets the nomination by running to the small-town blue-collar base...then she might actually have a good strategy, because that's the kind of Democratic Party platform that consistently won elections in the first half of the 20th century. The Dems didn't start getting turfed until they came over all "progressive"--and Carter was a Protest Vote, not a serious candidate.

Yes, it's a heart warming story, to the extent that its true.

[Tushar D]

Yay! Instalanche!
The Moronosphere is growing in influence. I expect to see Billy on Insta's website any day now.

I'm looking forward to Hillary appearing with that banjo-playing kid from "Deliverance." Better yet, the Hillster needs to ensure her photo op is held in a bowling alley.

If this doesn't give her "street cred" with the unwashed proletariat, I don't know what will.

[Ardsgaine]

Yes, it's a heart warming story, to the extent that its true.

LOL. Yep. About midway through I remembered that I was listening to a congenital liar.

Can we get a fact check at register six?

I know Carville's famous statement was "Pennsylvania is Philadelphia and Pittsburgh with Alabama in the middle", but "Pennsytucky" seems to roll off the tongue easier...

;-)

[The Internet Party]

Hillary: "Yes, I spent a lot of time in rural Pennsylvania, but I didn't inhale."

[KingShamus]

Everybody knows that the small-town regions of the Keystone State are properly known as "Pennsyltucky".

[Citizen Grim]

If only adding "-tucky" made a place more conservative... *sigh* Sadly, that is not the case. Here in Lexington, Kentucky, the upper-crust snob liberals have won the day...

Bah.

There is an historical connection between Pennsylvania and Alabama. After the whiskey rebellion in the 1790s, many Scotts-Irish settlers in Pennsylvania moved south, down the mountains, to get away from the federal tax collectors. They continued to make their whiskey as some of them still do today. Some of them may have been my ancestors.
