PLEASE HELP US SHARE THIS VIDEO.

On November 20, 2009, at a Borders bookstore in Columbus, Ohio, Sarah Palin held a book signing event in support of "Going Rogue". Palin's supporters wanted her to run for the presidency, but they weren't exactly sure what she'd do as president. Short on specifics, most of them were uncertain what her policy positions are. They just felt that they liked her. She's "real". And that the solution to all of our country's problems—health care, energy, the deficit, unemployment, and the economy—was to cut taxes and lower spending, and Palin, they said, would solve them by doing just that.

This NEW LEFT MEDIA film was produced and edited by Chase Whiteside (interviews) and Erick Stoll (camera).

Did you know it's illegal for "idiots" to vote in some States and http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Idiot_(person">Ohio is one of them?

1. Oh my god.
I started watching the video, thinking that I had an idea about how bad it would be. The interviewer gives them the rope and they hang themselves with it. Yes indeedy!

141. Anybody Else Sick of this "Right to Vote" Thing?
We have to have some kind of citizenship competency test to keep the unqualified out of the voting booth.
Anybody who disagrees needs to watch the video over and over until they get it.

144. And these same people will be the main ones screaming that it was OBAMA'S voters who were low info
because so many of them were black. To them, black automatically = uneducated.

They can't see the stupidity and gleeful ignorance of their own side staring them dead in their ugly, sad little faces.

According to factcheck.org, the term has been used for presidential advisors since at least FDR's administration.

53. I wish the whole czar thing would be addressed properly -
- whenever some nit-wit brings it up, a sane person needs to explain to them what it ACTUALLY is and that it didnt start with Bush or Obama!!
Shit, just change the name if it's helps, these people wouldnt have a clue who the current 'czars' are anyway, so if they changed the name they wouldnt notice.
Seriously tho - bangs head every time one of them mentions CZARS! I feel like yelling at the video....
/rant off
Cheers
Sandy

137. maybe you didn't make it all the way through
one man, who insists that obama is all but performing partial birth abortions himself, gets his information from his church groups, somewhere, and oh, yeah, "i watch fox news a LOT."

8 years of bush educational policies? i just can't get over the ignorance, the proud ignorance of these people.

9. Jeez- Where do I start?
The stupidity is just layed on sooo thick. These people just don't know anything except that they love Sarah Palin, and Obama is the antichrist (I can just feel how much these people hang on Glenn Beck's every word) There was just too much ignorance in this crowd to address individual instances. I'd be interested to know if there were any intelligent answers given (I know that's unlikely from Palin supporters, but I would like to know)

Now- Did the the guy in the Steelers jacket have a speech impediment, or was he drunk?

40. The fact that he's wearing a Steelers jacket in central Ohio doesn't say much for his smarts.
He probably thought Sarah Palin was going to get him Super Bowl tickets. For his team, you know, 'cause they're, uh, winning....um, maybe not.

I wouldn't be at all surprised if he were drunk. Some of those other people too.

Yikes. This whole video is Exhibit A of Cult of Personality in Action.

As an Ohioan, I promise you: We're not all this dumb. Honest.

Edited on Mon Nov-23-09 02:50 AM by kag
The teabagger interviews were done by Brad (I can't remember his last name) at BradBlog.com. Although I, too, was thinking about those teabagger interviews as I watched this. More people need to get out there with cameras and do this. It doesn't seem to be too difficult. Just ask a question that requires a minimal amount of sentience, sit back, and laugh your ass off.

...After re-reading, maybe I'm wrong. I saw Brad do interviews at the Southern Cal rally. Maybe this guy was at the DC rally and I just missed it. Anyway, they're both great.

"education" from Fox "news" (and the
courts have already said that "news" programs do not
have to be truthful), can you imagine the difference if the
FAIRNESS DOCTRINE were reinstated? All of these people would
be exposed to differing points of view and facts...what a

98. The racism seems less problematic (however disgusting on a personal level)
At this point in history this kind of personal racism leaves more of a mark on the perpetrators than on their targets - but the WILLFUL ignorance is what really gets me. That anyone would purposely reject intelligence and logical thought in themselves and in their chosen leaders is what really makes my head hurt.

It is the ignorance (and the seeming spreading pool of it) that makes me weep for America. There is a large enough strain of these people to stymie and even foil public policy advances that would help make the lives of the vast majority of Americans better. And the beneficiaries of there stupidity literally don't care about America. Those beneficiaries (Mega Corporations and the truly wealthy) have no vested interest in America. They don't depend on America in any way. Either can "live" just as well elsewhere when America has been turned into a cesspool of stupid superstitious anarchy with a collapsed infrastructure.

I fear this country that I love to the point of tears, is in a death spiral. I despair that it is already to late to save it.

172. I love this little snippet of brilliance from the YouTube comments:
"You are a typical arrogant liberal that laughs at others instead of listening on what these people want. You probably pride yourself on your education....you are pathetic!"

Yeah, well, I'd say that might be a better point of pride than your fucking ignorance, moran.

Also, the one guys says, "America is no longer special. No longer a shining light."

No, really??!!! Um, gee, could it be that you Palin supporters are blocking out the sun?

31. I hate people! (Scrooge)
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qNkvM1BSwy0

"If they would rather die then they better do it, and decrease the surplus population"


Scavengers and sycophants and flatterers
and fools
Pharisees and parasites and hypocrites
and ghouls
Calculating swindlers, prevaricating frauds
Perpetrating evil as they roam the earth
in hordes
Feeding on their fellow men
Reaping rich rewards
Contaminating everything they see
Corrupting honest me like me
Humbug! Poppycock! Balderdash! Bah!
I hate people! I hate people!
People are despicable creatures
Loathesome inexplicable creatures
Good-for-nothing kickable creatures
I hate people! I abhor them!
When I see the indolent classes
Sitting on their indolent asses
Gulping ale from indolent glasses
I hate people! I detest them! I deplore them!
Fools who have no money spend it
Get in debt then try to end it
Beg me on their knees befriend them
Knowing I have cash to lend them
Soft-hearted me! Hard-working me!
Clean-living, thrifty and kind as can be!
Situations like this are of interest to me
I hate people! I loathe people! I despise and abominate people!
Life is full of cretinous wretches
Earning what their sweatiness fetches
Empty minds whose pettiness stretches
Further than I can see
Little wonder I hate people
And I don't care if they hate me!

80. Agree - the naturalization of
illegal immigrants to get votes really got to me . Under the last mis-administration, naturalization was slowed down. This administration has changed that policy.

The level of willful ignorance is staggering. I am in shock even though these people truly represent the marginal involvement, via the faux channel, of my mother, sisters & brother. Stunning....simply stunning. I hsd no idea the ignorance went so deep.

Passionate, yes, saying what some wanted to hear, yes, political bully, yes.

Smart, hmm, nope. He made a ton of mistakes, especially militarily.

43. scary
I've known along that the more educated or intelligent a person is the more likely for them to be liberal minded, however the extent of the opposite is nauseating. They are willfully ignorant: you can't know what you don't know especially if you don't want to know.

I almost felt sorry for them but was stricken by fear of their combined voting power.

88. Actually, I'm going to disagree...
No, really. I am actually going to disagree with that one.

Idiocracy showed what might happen if intelligence capable of maintaining the trappings of the modern world was devolved out of existence. But, even they understood the value of bringing in the best and the brightest society had to offer to solve problems. OK, sure, lacking immediate gratification, they nearly killed the guy, but success, once proven, changed their minds. You liked the people of 2505 for that. You felt a pang of regret for their plight. You felt oddly akin to them, much like Joe says he's going to miss them once he goes back.

Today, however, shows what happens when willful stubbornness is the driving force. You could prove your points to modern America time and time again. You could show them success after success, and still they would cling to the idea that somehow, their way is better, even though it's been proven not to be so. I'd rather live in 2505 and have to deal with the strangely sympathetic idiots of that time, than to have to deal with the irksome stubborn fools of today.

Put another way, Joe finally managed to get them to start using water on the plants by telling them he could talk to plants, and claimed that they said they liked water. If I tried the same thing today, they'd claim I was lying, not because I clearly can't talk to plants, but because the plants told THEM they preferred Brawndo.

Believe it or not kids, these people comprise the sad, back-assed majority of the populace in Columbus OH. I'm surrounded by an onslaught of stupid from the moment I leave my door each morning. If it wasn't for the life-long friends, the house, and the steady work I have here, I'd leave this place in a heartbeat. The really sad thing is, these mouth-breathers breed like rabbits, and they produce even dumber off-spring...

It's gone down hill in recent years, there's lots of crime in German Village now, even though it's still considered an affluent area of town, it's a high-friction area with the surrounding inner-city.

116. Hi Scotman
Welcome to DU! There are some sane, rational people left in the U.S., as you can see by reading some of DU's threads.

Gatherings such as this, represent a very small, but vocal part of our society. They are with us always, just not always so much in the public eye.

Yes, our healthcare system is a disaster and now that it is affecting the middle class, people are finally taking action.

54. OK, I'm only 1:25 into this extravaganza of stupidity and I'm already pissed.
The interviewer doesn't ask the woman a difficult question at all. "What are some of the issues you agree with her on?" There really IS no right or wrong answer here and the woman is getting defensive. "Where are you going with this? What issues?"

What do you mean, "What isses"? Uh, DUMMY? Here's a hint: you can't just be enamored of the idea of your Alaskan Queen Crab as President. This is the highest office of the land, not a fucking Best Actress at the Emmys. Issues and political positions are sort of IMPORTANT in choosing a candidate.

And then there's the "Cutting TAXES!" crowd . . . the same old Bewsh/Reagan standby (although Reagan RAISED taxes on the middle class a few times before he was done .. . but don't tell THEM that) that's been tried and failed, and tried and failed and tried and failed and tried and failed again and again and AGAIN!!! GAAAAH!

Control Spending? She indebted Wasilla to the tune of twenty million. What do you think she'll do when her nuclear war starts?

"You know, Marxism, Leninism, Socialism . . " No, Obama didn't flat out say ANY of that, nor is he even a classic liberal. But thanks for playing, Joe Sportsbar, and keep falling for that Red-baiting. Look . . .. FOOOOOOTBALL! Go fetch!

"We're just another country" Well, yeah. That's called 28 years of weakening the middle/working/poor classes thanks to laissez-fail-enabling candidates YOU and likely YOUR PARENTS elected to office, Mr. Camo.

It just seems to me that these people are more about hating Obama and Democrats (like the well-conditioned Pavlovian dogs that they are) more than they know what Sarah Palin actually STANDS for and whether or not she actually knows how to improve things.

I mean, with people like this, is it any wonder a useless pile of cow droppings such as Bewsh got elected twice?

56. Title it differently
Here's a project for a person with mad Youtube/photoshop skills...

1) Take the video and put different labels on it, get rid of the "new left" trailer, etc. These would be "Pox News Reports" or something like that.
2) Put it on redstate.org and other nutcase websites.
3) Take screenshots of the "what a bunch of smart people!" comments on those websites before somebody alerted the nutjobs reading those sites that they were getting punk'd.
4) Post the results here for HIGH HILARITY - and then send to Keith and/or Rachel.

More brainwashing, and im not talking about the people in the video, but the people making fun of them in here. Sure they are dumb, but these people exist in both side, you can ask most people who voted for obama and they won't know a thing. Especially most black people, nothing racist but really. Most of the black people voted for him cause he's, black.

wf80 (12 minutes ago)
This little twerp has made other videos like this in the past. He goes around asking questions until he finds ignorant ppl. I'm absolutely positive the same thing could be done to Obama fans. (especially inner-city minorities). But you'll never see someone like this asking questions to Ron Paul, Michael Badnarik, Chuck Baldwin or even Bob Barr fans!!!

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hYIC0eZYEtI

It breaks my heart that these everyday people are so "uninformed". Actually they are "de-educated."
What I really don't understand is how someone can step up to a news person and declare support for a person, then admit they know nothing about the person or the issues!
It is terrifying.

It reminds me of the character Maxwell Smart. When he sees a button, he says "what's this for" as he goes ahead and pushes it! I think there should be a laugh track put to this video post.

Rush Limbaugh, and go to mega churches so their heads are filled w/ lies and propaganda.

That person very well might have been told that the reason why we have a shortfall of domestic
oil in the U.S. vs our needs is because "the environmentalists stopped the drilling to protect
the polar bears."

I had a sweet little old lady tell me that the reason our oil production in the Gulf of Mexico
is down is because the Cuban government is letting China drill off of it's coast and they are
getting our oil by use of sneaky drilling techniques. She thinks Sean Hannity is smart too.

90. We can only hope that people like these...
...do not vote.

It's not that they're uninformed or misinformed. It's not that they're on the other (wrong) side of important issues. It's not that any of them are stupid.

It's that they don't THINK. They don't think critically about what they're told. They don't think about the long-term ramifications of their positions. They don't think to question anybody on their own side of the border. They don't think about anything other than their own little limited personal world. They don't think about how what they support will effect anybody else. They don't think that any other position other than their own could possibly have merit. They don't think about what's best for EVERY American. In short, THEY DON'T THINK.

Let's hope that folks like these just decide to stay home on election day. They're not good for America.

99. Education system fail. The extent of ignorance, brainwashing and superficial RW cliche's in her
fans is just astonishing and frightening. Scratch below the surface of the RW slogans they parrot and they have NOTHING- no knowledge or understanding. Freedom? Liberty? I don't think they even know what those words mean. Just what we need: a country run by and populated by armed people who barely have the equivalent of 8th grade educations.

Maybe Beck's re-education camps will help them....

I expected to be more repulsed by this than I actually was. These people are her base and I really don't think that base is all that expandable beyond these morans. I loved how none of them could really explain her views on any policy (hint - she has none), yet they all knew that somehow Obama is taking away their rights (again, no specifics provided). I've said it before and I'll say it again: These people are often wrong, but never in doubt.

127. I knew, already.
But it isn't only Columbus, or only Ohio. The entire nation has a share of these 25% ignorant Fox watching citizens.

It was same when Clinton was in office. They hated him deeply. He was going to take our guns away.


We narrowly avoided losing our guns through a valiant effort by the patriotic NRA.
:sarcasm:


But what do we do about it? That is my question. It appears to me these people have never heard an alternate explanation for reality. They don't even understand that Czars have nothing to do with the communist Soviet Union. They don't seem to understand Palin's position on any issue. What they know of President Obama is completely fabricated Fox nonsense. They are deeply ignorant.

Chances are, and this my feeling, that if someone did publish such a book, none of these people would bother to buy it or even read it or keep it with them. Yet, I wonder how many of them will actually read Sarah Palin's book?

136. I don't want to share a country with these people.
I would have more in common with the average citizen of almost any other nation on the
planet than I do with them. They had no problem tolerating Bush, his incompetence, failed
policies, illegal wars and failure to protect this country the one time it was demanded. But
of course he was white. I spent years banging my head against a wall trying to understand
why, why, why they didn't speak up then. I gave them far to much credit. Never again.

I am a resident of Columbus. The day palin descended here was also the day OSU students took the traditional (OSU vs Michigan game) dip in a scummy pond they had peed in. Coincidence? I'd like to think they were washing the palin stink off of them.
These people's responses were embarrassing and painful.

You could post the name of any democrat I've supported in the past and I'll give you 5 good reasons why I have supported him/her for office (Well except Tom Carper - I didn't have any other option at the general election).

These were not 'Gotcha' questions - just the kind of stuff that normal people can answer.

I would be embarrassed to be on that video tape - I hope it goes viral so the world can see just how clueless these people are.
