Morning, y'all, Jebediah here, and I must say, seems as if 'ole Lizzy Edwards has a wee bit of a problem with Southerners
RALEIGH, N.C. – Elizabeth Edwards says she is scared of the "rabid, rabid Republican" who owns property across the street from her Orange County home – and she doesn't want her kids going near the gun-toting neighbor.
Edwards, the wife of Democratic presidential candidate John Edwards, particularly recalls the time neighbor Monty Johnson brought out a gun while chasing workers investigating a right of way off his property. The Edwards family has yet to meet Johnson in person.
"I wouldn't be nice to him anyway," Edwards said in an interview. "I don't want my kids anywhere near some guy who when he doesn't like somebody, the first thing he does is pull a gun out. It scares the business out of me."
Wow, such a compassionate liberal. She doesn't even know the guy, never met him, but has decided that she wouldn't be nice to him anyway. Such neighborly actions. Even throws in some slurs. Read on
Edwards views Johnson as a "rabid, rabid Republican" who refuses to clean up his "slummy" property just to spite her family, whose lavish 28,000-square-foot estate is nearby on 102 wooded acres.
Johnson said he has lived his entire life on the property, which he said his family purchased before the Great Depression. He said he's spent a lot of money to try and fix up the 42-acre tract.
"I have to budget. I have to leave within my means," Johnson said. "I don't have millions of dollars to fix the place."
"I thought he was supposed to be for the poor people," Johnson said. "But does he ever socialize with any poor people? He doesn't speak to me."
Well, I had the pleasure of listening to Monty Johnson talk to Bill Lemay on WPTF here in Raleigh. Want to know what he had to say?
Well, for one thing, he says that the Edwards cut down massive amounts of trees, which were taken out by the truck load. So much for the environmentally friendly Edwards'.
He also said that he had not pulled out a gun, as reported by the media.
And, get this: his property taxes, which had been $5,000 a year, have now double. So much for a moving in present from the Edwards'.
He also says he plans on keeping his Giuliani sign out on the lawn till election day.
Figures liberals would act in such a way. Not like Mr. Johnson hasn't lived there his whole life, and now has to listen to some rich liberals whine at him.
Finally, I have to wonder why Lizzy has to go out and have some PC to announce this. Not elitst at all, eh?
GOP Bloggers: After John Edwards built his new mansion, it became clear which of his alleged two Americas he belongs to…..
Here's the nutty left wing perspective, which is just so civil and polite.
Update from WT: C.A. Marks kicks it up a notch
Time for a new blogroll?
Kim at And Rightly So! doesn't think much of My Little Silk Pony and his little stunt at a nursing home.

“I thought he was supposed to be for the poor people,” Johnson said. “But does he ever socialize with any poor people? He doesn’t speak to me.”
This sums the whole situation up nicely.. Says he wants to fix the problem with two America’s in political speeches but when they meet “two America’s” face to face; The truth comes out!
This shows what the Edward’s really think of the “other half”.

I am proud to be a “rabid Republican” and even said so, sort of, at my place. Well OK, I just made a silly little graphic! LOL
Psssst…wanna know a secret? The Defeatocrats are even SCARED to debate on the Fox News channel! Call ’em scared e cats? Scared Sh*tlesscrats? Hey Defeatocrats – go debate on M-TV, VH1, The E-Channel, CNN, the Playboy Channel, and if you’re scared of FOX NEWS, then you’re scared of Al-Qaeda, Islamofascism and GOD!
Defeatocrats = Yellow Coats? They only want to stack the decks and debate in the 19 Blue States of Socialism? I give Dennis
Kocinich some credit for he went on FOX and admitted that the Democrats made a mistake. His wife is a Brit Babe and could give The Sun Page 3 gals a run for their money: http://www.thesun.co.uk
Apparently the Edwards family should have built their mansion in Massachusetts where they’ll fit right in with elitists like Kennedy & Kerry. No one asked the neighbor if he objected to the Edwards moving into his neighborhood. He was there first – let them move if they don’t like people who believe in the Second Amendment.
Dems always say the are for the little people. Usually when the little people are cleaning their mansions, doing the yard work, and serving them meals.
