(Unfortunately I think this is the story of the day for the Gov race – promoted by DavidThi808)

He also manages to equate those who live there with the murderers of Matthew Shepard:

At the 2:00 minute mark you get this quote:

Hickenlooper: I think a couple things, I mean, you know, the tragic death of Matthew Shepard occurred in Wyoming. Colorado and Wyoming are very similar. We have some of the same, you know, backwards thinking in the kind of rural Western areas you see in, you know, Montana, Wyoming, Colorado, New Mexico.

Is this really what Denver’s mayor thinks of those of us who live in the rest of the state?  Now that this has gotten out he is of course backpedaling.  But don’t worry mayor,  we hicks get what Denver’s Hick really thinks of us.
