What If You Were Picked on in a Blue State?

According to a recent Salon article (quoted by Instapundit):

Since last November, there's been plenty of speculation about a vast disconnect between Red and Blue America. Here's a new theory: Many urbane blue-staters are actually refugees from the red-state heartland, where they were once picked on as kids.

What if you were picked on by the supposedly broad-minded?

I'm reminded of the following quote from Woody Allen:

I won two weeks at Interfaith Camp, where I was sadistically beaten by boys of all races and creeds.
