Milbank: Are Obama followers real Americans?
http://rawstory.com/news/2008/Dana_Milbank_Are_Obama_supporters_real_1026.html

Link also includes a video.

On Wednesday, Milbank, to his "surprise," found an estimated 12,000 people lined up to participate in a rally at the Richmond Coliseum for Senator Obama, "the leader of anti-America America."

"You guys are at an Obama rally," he told four young adult attendees, "so you're probably anti-America."

"We're probably communists," responds one. "I'm a terrorist," his counterpart asserts. A third concurs, and the three share a celebratory "fist bump."

"Sarah Palin says the pro-America Americans are hard-working, patriotic, kind, good and courageous," Milbank asks two others in a multiple-choice question. "Which of the following best describes you? Lazy; unpatriotic; misanthropic; bad; cowardly; or all of the above?"

2. What is their problem?
Geez, they are so divisive.

If Obama wins, they become anti-American. What don't they get about that? What about all their blathering about not disagreeing with a sitting President in time of war? Oh, yeah, I forgot the rules they set for others never apply to them.

4. I love it that the divisive crap is exposed and mocked openly.
The Palin smears rouse her rabble but turn off 75 % of the rest of us un-American Americans.
