Ignorant fucking hicks

South Carolina, apparently, has more than its fair share of them. This article reports on one South Carolina representative's efforts to pass a law making cock fighting a felony and table a law making domestic violence a felony. There may well be procedural or constitutional flaws in the domestic violence law that would justify his actions. I can't say. But, to say something like this to a reporter suggests that the representative is likely motivated by something other than noble constitutional concerns:

"People who compare [cock fighting and domestice violence] are not very smart and if you don't understand the difference, Ms. Gormley, between trying to ban the savage practice of watching chickens trying to kill each other and protecting people rights in CDV statutes, I'll never be able to explain it to you in a 100 years ma'am."

Sheesh. What does this say about the people who elected this guy?
