4. 'Rednecks' come to Columbia for Obama rally

snip
< Tony Viessman, 74, of Rolla started "Rednecks for Obama" last summer and has been on the campaign trail ever since.>

snip

< Viessman described a redneck as "any man that's a working man. Usually has a lot of guns. He's got a boat and a motor, sometimes he's got a 4-wheel drive truck. He hunts and fishes a lot and drinks a little beer."

He and fellow redneck Les Spencer, 60, started their political movement before Obama's July 30 stop in Rolla last summer and have targeted campaign events in Mississippi, Tennessee, Colorado and New York. >
