NEWS FLASH! Obama chooses Sarah Palin as his running mate!

That's sad.

That is pretty sad.

I'm sure a similar trick could be pulled with Mccain and ignorant people in the Bible Belt. You'd have to pick a different set of policies, though - maybe economic policy. Bible-belt voters will definitely know which politicians are pro-life or not.

Really, the heart of it is only showing the hits (The people that go "What are you talking about? Obama is pro-choice" don't get on the radio show), and relying on the statistical fact that most Americans don't vote and probably are ignorant. It's just a matter of running into people who are black, ignorant, and support Obama - not hard on all three counts.

I'd even say that the Bible Belt is home to a scarier brand of ignorance. Religious fanatics can be much more aggressive than the passive idiots featured in this clip.

Yep. There are definitely idiots on both sides. Here's an example of an idiot in Ohio: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tUf-cVLoPL4&feature=related

This one is more in line with the first video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zRqcfqiXCX0&e
People like these make it harder for both sides to talk rationally.

No, I don't watch real news.

Anyways, being ignorant is better than being crazy.
