I'm not saying it's right--but it's a far cry from "racists and bigots." At worst it's an overgeneralization, but he's not insulting anybody, isn't calling anybody a racist, and isn't saying he's better than anybody. Let's stop singing from the Fox News songsheet on this, shall we?

Where did I say Obama called rural people racists and bigots?
There was another poster in this thread who implied that rural people are racist and bigots.
Obama would have bowed out of the campaign by now had he said something like that.
