and disgusting.

Uneducated, overwhelmingly white, proud-to-be-stupid hicks - John McCain and Sarah Palin's base.

the Idiocracy is alive and well - don't let them get away with it.

of exposing the ignorance and fear/anger (as they go hand in hand-first create fear and then harness the anger), especially with than blonde lunatic, but and here's the but i always add and get so much crap for on this site...
but, the videographer/citizen journalist showed a little disdain and annoyance with the subjects it wasa asking to participate in his project (to make a video), which leads to extremist response, or at least agitated response.

this is a form of journalism that fox has perfected and that the indipendent media is starting to emulate,which is so disappointing.

all this interview did was show its viewing public, that the republican supporting pop is dim witted, uninformed and reactionary (tell me something i don't know, huh?)...

if the journalist stayed on task instead of trying to create a sensational, knee jerk reaction, it would have been interesting... he got one good response ( a good response is an honest illuminating response).
the interviewee said she thought she knew more about Palin than Obama because of the character developing stories she has been inundated with recently by MSM. I'm sure this is true, but the interviewer told her he reject that as not being valid.
she just told him why she thinks she knows PALIN best, and he said he thought she was incorrect.
this was the only interesting, illuminating part of the interview, and the interviewer was not professional enough to accept it, and build on it, instead he threw up a montage of silliness that reduce this to nothing really significant.
u got close bro, citizen journalism is tuff, and its even harder to remove your own bias to present a truth (that the media is what is responsible for building the palin and obama myth)...

First let me say how sorry I am to those educated and intelligent people in OH and PA that have to live among these idiots. Perosnally, I don't know how you can stand it. That being said, how do these morons feed themselves? I know that the right to vote is guaranteed regardless of education and intelligence but really, you have to take a test to be a citizen of this country, maybe you should have to pass that same test to register before every election. I'm pretty sure Blondie wouldn't pass! Because lets face it, when uninformed, judgemental and down right stupid people like those featured in this video go to the polls each time, they are unequiped to make a thoughtful decision. I'm not saying that there are not people in the world who are making a thoughtful decision to vote for McSame and Ginger because I know a few wealthy people who are voting their wallets despite everything going on right now. But that does not apply to Mindy and her neighbors.

Oh, and if Terrorists do attack again the US, I would bet with my life, it's not going to be anywhere near bum-suck Ohio. So eat another cruller Mindy cause your little neck of nowhere is safe.

Look at the media bigwig battle stirring up over who to blame.

Bill Kristol is the one who pushed for Palin as VP, and won over Karl Rove who wanted Romney and McCain who wanted Lieberman.

David Brooks is totally trashing the decision. I never was much of a fan of David's but compared to truly evil men like Karl Rove and Bill Kristol, he is a saint.

I find it very interesting to to see how they all are breaking out into their various factions and buddy teams.

Hey, you know who else riled up crowds, also getting them to blame scapegoats for their problems? Think back 7 decades...

I don't have the words to describe this. I know I'm too hopeful that this footage would make the national media, but still it's amazing people like this exist.
From their perspective it must have a lot to do with trust. They trust John McCain and Sarah Palin so much, that if they told them the moon landing was faked they'd all believe them. Not one of the people in that video seemed to be capable of thinking outside the Republican talking points.
I'm not even angry, just shocked and I feel sorry for them. Not so much for having beliefs completely opposite my own, but that it would seem no matter what I could tell them or evidence I showed them I could never change their minds. If this isn't brainwashing, I don't know what is.

Sad to see that based on a person's name or the color of his skin people would rather vote for the white woman because she seems familiar. They obviously don't know Palin's record at all or what she and McCain plan to do to our country. These people are dangerous because of their ignorance.

It is difficult for them to offend me; their statements are so mindbogglingly absurd. I can't understand how anyone would listen to them.

But then I remember that lots of people in this country do, and it's not so funny any more.

These videos show how REALLY, REALLY stupid people become lemmings by listening, I'm taking a guess, to way, WAY too much Limbaugh. It's embarassing that these morons are Americans. I didn't know people from Pennyslvania were that bigoted, that DUMB, and really, extremely UGLY. It also appears that their physical condition also matches the ugliness of their souls. How very sad for all of them and especially sad for all their children. I've never heard such stupidity in my life! Astonishing!

show even more scary things in my opinion.
(After the video is over click through the videos that appear at the bottom of the window)

In the 1980's (God I'm dating myself!) I was a community organizer/activist--couldn't get more liberal! I attended a conference in Chicago where there were 1500 people just like me--we were courted by all the democratic candidates for president (it was an election year--anyone remember Pat Schroder?). Anyway--that year the conference was nothing more than a HUGE rally--it was energizing and wonderful (sigh--nostalgia.......)! To get to the point.......a few of those other videos are of McCain rallys--even though we were all activists (read rabid liberals!) and we got to hear Jesse Jackson and Pat Schroder back to back (Wow--and I do mean WOW!!!!!) the reaction from our crowd of 1500 was NOTHING like that of the McCain rally! All I can equate the reaction of McCain's audience to is a pro wrestling event--I can totally see those people out for blood!

I'm concerned that even if Obama wins our country will have been so fractured by the hate filled rhetoric and the divisiveness of the campaign that nothing will be able to be accomplished. As our country becomes more and more divided into camps titled "right" and "left" I truly fear for the future that we are setting up for our children to inherit. I have four of my own that I worry about..........

Videos like these make me feel like quoting Rodney King...............

Seems to me that these idiots have changed their opinion quite a bit since 2001. The chants of USA USA USA are the same as shortly after 9/11 except now they are directed at American citizens. Sick bastards!

I remember a nation joined together in grief and support. At that time "everyone was American"

Now not even other Americans are "American"

I cannot imagine the level of non education it would take for an American citizen to believe that there is a terrorist actually running for President and not locked up in Guantanamo!

Discrimination is alive and well in America too where the new "black" is the "muslim". Just listen to the bigots accuse Obama of being one or even worse an Arab which is overt racism.

You need to lock up these hateful violent anti american losers. They are the terrorists because they are terrifying the other citizens with their threats of violence. So goddamn stupid they can't even see they are the problem. Idiots!

So Mac's zealots are Working on another 'Bridge to Nowhere', We are building one From the Economic meltDown right to Mac's Front Door! From Keating to Enron to Phil Gramm as his 'economic advisor' Our Construction is near completed, and it will rest when the Words 'Treason' and 'Terrorist' are spoken at McCains Sentencing hearing.
These terms have no real direction nor strength when spewed by the Koolaid Drinking Mac supports...but they will have when incorporated into the foundation of a case of 40 yrs of Unamerican Activites which hav eled Us not only to the economic insecurity & threa twe face, but also to th eprecipating factors (deregulation and an Illegal Invasion)
Oh Johnny boy the attempt to tap down the full impact of those Words by Repetition, will fail. It not only has made it easier for US to allow them to Roll off our tongues, and you may feel their real impact.
Call Obama a terrorist because of a tangental association, and we'll use it regarding Mac's Aid and Comfort to those '80's 'Afghani Freedom Fighters'.Call Obama a 'Traitor' and we will point to PHIL GRAMM and the Destruction he & Mac have caused to the Very Founation of our Country- Our Economic Security!
So Keep going McCainites, You just make it easier for Me to utter those Unthinkable Acts of betrayal against McCain. I don't want to just destroy Mac's run for the WH, I want to Destroy his falsified record and Ultimately his Legacy in the History Books!

Just sent a email with this video attached to someone who one accused me of misunderstanding people like those in the videos and insisted they were merely salt of the earth!

Amerikan'ts like these are the reason I sold everything I had in Amerika at a loss and moved to the opposite side of the planet!

I'd rather die than ever return to Amerika and have to live next to and listen to Amerikan'ts!

My only disappointment is Amerika hasn't collapsed under its considerable BS yet!

Just turn on the local right-wing radio station 96.9FM.

Severin, Graham et al are spewing the sam bigotry.

Many of my co-workers (especially those from NH) are McCain-Palin supporters.

I'm in high-tech so all of these McCain supporters are college educated with post graduate degrees.

Bigotry among a significant white population is as American as apple pie.

Well not funny... but very interesting indeed. Democrats (aka Liberals, ooo) can get arrested for having peaceful demonstrations (remember the RNC), citing the enemy combatants crap, but these fringe lunatics can spew hatred, calls to kill, etc., and no one even escorts them out, much less tasers or teargasses them. WTF!

Very interesting. These people are the REAL "enemy combatants". Why are they not being harrassed and contained by police?

This tacet approval is getting very very creepy. This is sounding an awful lot like the lead-up to Nazi occupation.

even if Obama is elected, his administration will be hampered by republicans in the Congress by frivolous investigation and obstrction.

And these people will almost certainly try to go after Obama's life.

This is how karma works America: you have been electing war-criminals for generations who have destroyed countries that did no harm to you. Now your own actions are destroying you.

If some of the lead voices on the right didn't refer to Obama as a terrorist or try to make that connection again and again their sheeple supporters wouldn't think of him as a terrorist.

People are scared right now for their economic future thanks to the massive fear mongering by our leaders and the media sparked off by Bush who ironically has called for less fear mongering even though he has been the main source of it.

They want leaders to line up behind to follow because they do not know what is going on.

People are dumb and as much as I hate to admit it Nick Rockefeller was probably right when he said that only a few people can live truly free lives, the people at large need to be led.

A few weeks ago I stood in a line for an Obama rally in Charlotte, NC, and commented several times about how peaceful the line was-- especially considering that we knew we wouldn't get in; the venue was full but the line, still more than a mile long, stood quietly outside in a show of support. I blogged about the day here (photo included).
