The Charleston Daily Mail is among those covering a recent appearance by the state's chief public schools auditor in Lincoln County, during which he referred to ""four-wheel riding, dope-smoking, alcoholic rednecks."
"I used those words, but I didn't call the people in Lincoln County that," Kenna Seal told the Daily Mail. "I used those words to describe a lifestyle that I have noticed in places across the country and even in West Virginia."
Some Lincoln County residents think otherwise, as the Gazette, Public Broadcasting, WCHS-TV and MetroNews also report.
The Lincoln Journal apparently got the ball rolling.
(MetroNews has audio, while Public Broadcasting has audio and the text of Seal's response letter.)

Nice qualification: "EVEN in West Virginia."
The surest way to keep pointyheaded bureaucrats from harshing on your lifesyle is to not have the state have to take over the school system.
Hes off by a few presidents. Fourwheeler riding dope smoking alcoholics are from Jackson County, not Lincoln.
