Driving back to Houston a few weeks ago, I had the "pleasure" of accidentally tuning to KPFT radio, a Pacifica network radio station.
One of the last refuges [Houston; KPFT (90.1) New York, WBAI (99.5); Washington, WPFW (89.3); Berkley, KPFA ,(94.1); and Los Angeles, KPFK (90.7)] of the extreme left, I listened to the co-hosts describe their travels through the uncivilized hinterlands. Oklahoma deserved particular excoriation as, quoting exactly, "the worst state in the nation" and home of redneck biblical fundamentalists who clearly didn't have the intellectual sophistication to understand the Bible.

Instapundit posted an amusing video advertising the Los Angeles county fair; it perfectly describes the depth and breadth of knowledge of the typical Pacifica progessive. Here it is:
