So Who's the Liar?

I am sorry that you were offended by the“yahoo” comment; it actually referred to persons who shouted “yahoo” after common sense gun legislation was defeated within the judiciary committee.
Really?

Because the "Authorized Journalist" told us that Jewell said "Yahoos" were "the old boys with the boots and the guns."

On the one hand, Jewell says "I am a strong supporter of the right to bear arms" while shilling for the police state, so we know right off the bat he's talking out of both sides of his mouth. On the other hand, well, we're dealing with an anti-gun Philly opinion columnist here.

A politician or a big city media hack. Which one is lying? Talk about a real stumper!

Was anybody at the legislative committee meeting? Is there a recording of the event? Did someone really yell "Yahoo"? And did Jewell really make that remark to the "reporter"?

Some of us "Yahoos," code word for redneck, code word for rural white hick as used here, would like to know if we've been disparaged with a racist character slur by an elected representative of the people. And interestingly, the origin of the word as an interjection is a variation of "Yo-Ho," but noting the circumstances of this dispute we probably shouldn't go there.
