2. Nothing is more pathetic than extreme ignorance. Saddest was the little blonde girl doing the
monkey imitation. Ignorance breeding more ignorance. That video really disturbed me.

as bad is that old fucker pointing his finger like he is super smart because of his age. Age don't make intelligence.

56. That was most shocking to me, too! Our sons were raised to make up their OWN minds. These people
are sick freaks, imo. Their kids don't attend integrated schools?

14. Yes, it is Idiocracy...
That movie was at least a funny way of looking at what dumbing down did after 500 years. But this...

Just look at what has happened in the past 8 years!

43. Can you imagine what would happen if these retards are in charge for another
8 years? Stupidity is multiplying exponentially. I would be terrified to live in a country populated with those dullards for another week let alone 4 or 8 more years.

5. Have liberals ever acted this way? I just want to know.
I'm paying attention, I guess, for the first time. I'm appalled. I don't think all Republicans are like this....I used to be one, and I wasn't like this. I was just blind and deaf, not dumb.

11. Well, Denny, considering all the oldtime Republicans...
Heading for the doors, the lifeboats and floating bits of jetsom, I would have to say that yes, this is what is left of the repukes. Bigots. Maniacs. Inbreds. Abusers. Anacephalics. A vast collection of base urges.

It is not the party that any of us once knew. We used to disagree with them. Now, we are quite appropriate in loathing them.

I truly look forward to a day when they no longer taint the body politic. I feel strongly that such a day is close at hand. The infighting that will take place in the near future, amongst them, will bring that party to its knees and worse, for a minimum of two generations.

Such behavior is inexcusable by anyone on behalf of any candidate. Do they think such behavior will win anyone to their side?

Each hate-filled line is a sad realization they are going down Joe the Plumber's toilet in November.

Flush twice - it's a long way to Arizona.

17. Sad thing is most of them think they are doing it in the name of their religion and Jesus Christ.
These are the same people that would hang Jesus up in a New York second if he came back again.

12. John McCain must be so proud of what he has done to our USA.
:sarcasm: So.. America is only for the WASPS? Disgusting and so not what our country is based upon.

They did the same with Gore and Kerry. The same type of trumped up lies and mistrust.

This time we, the majority, can't be scared stupid.

16. This didn't just come about...
...because of McCain although he is trying to tap it. For the past 30 years the standard of education in the U.S. has been on the decline. Living in Europe I see it all the time, where even the dumb people know more than the inbreds in the U.S. These people are now at a point where they lack the critical thinking skills to discern what is bullshit and what is not and what's worse is that they see that as a virtue. It's going to take quite some time to get the country back up to speed and we must be ready for the long haul.

13. Just today I was thinking of these strange, strange people.
I started wondering if perhaps there will be three major parties: the Democrats, moderate Repubs, and then these crazy people...the insane, racists, ignorant neocons. I'd bet that many repubs are acutely embarrassed by the behavior of this large fringe group.

26. Wow!! These people act as if it's the 1950s
what with calling Obama a communist! Is it surprising that this country is the absolute laughing stock of the world? We smear one another with canards like 'socialist' and most don't even know what it means. Most don't realize that when it comes to measuring quality of life the USA, USA, USA is hardly near the top of that list?

I am way tired of these people. I just wish they'd go away.

I attended the 100,000 strong Obama rally in St Louis last weekend and there was nothing like this being said about John McCain. Nothing about him being old and doddering, nothing about Sarah Palin being less than qualified.

31. these people are the human equivalent...
...of shower scum, the bottom of the barrel so to speak... anyone with an ounce of decency is making a beeline 180 degrees in the opposite direction of the McCain-Palin Republicans. All that's left now in that camp are the racists, idiots, bigots, fascist agitators and the braindead.

Edited on Sat Oct-25-08 04:07 AM by LaPera
because of fear, skin color, change and everything else....Who can blame them?

But what is McSame offering them, but the same corporate control of their lives...so they feel secure with McBush, because change is frightening to them, exactly what the ruling class, rich, corporations feed on, it's all they have offer.

However, when Obama and the Dems offer universal health care, peace and tax cuts for workers they won't turn it down....Got to fight on....lots of work to be done until election day and afterward.

40. Here's a transcript:
Family is chanting NoBama over and over.

Man #1: he ain't no real American.

Another man is shown punching a cardboard Obama in the head.

Man #2: eight years of terrorists!
Man #3: (sarcastically) Hussein...that's cool!
Woman to Obama supporter: Are you sick? Are you a socialist?
Woman #2: He's a fraud...he's Osama!
Man #3: He's a Muslim Communist!
(the videographer asks this man if he really believes that) The response:
Man #3: Yeah, absolutely. His wife made him say he is a Christian so he could get elected.
Man #4: Socialist...communist! He's a communist!
Man #5: You need to read the Communist Manifesto 'cause that's what you're all about.
Man #6: Lookit -- the important thing is, God may not be on my side, but Satan is on your side.
Man #7: I don't want to be a communist, I don't want to be a socialist. I want to be an American.
Woman #3 holding a McCain/Palin sign: Communist! Communist!
Man # 8: He's a stupid bum.
Man #9: holding a baby: He's bullshit and a piece of crap he is.

The tarzan thing with the pretty girl at the beginning really bothered me. The communist, socialist, etc., whatever, that's not as big of a deal as teaching your children to act like a monkey and compare a monkey to Obama.

55. Anger, Fear and Racism Follow Palin Rally
The following video is originally from the Las Vegas Sun website. Their servers are so slow I thought I was back on dialup.

I uploaded the video to YouTube. People should see this if for nothing other than to witness the hate fear and anger that
an Obama presidency instills in some people. It is pretty ugly in places.

--------------------------------------------------

Anger, Fear and Racism Follow Palin Rally

By Matt Toplikar -- Las Vegas Sun
Wed, Oct 22, 2008

A group of 10-20 Obama backers gathered in front of Henderson Pavilion's
gates during Gov. Sarah Palin's speech. As McCain/Palin supporters
exited the rally, many became enraged at the sight of the protest.
