I cannot believe this mindset still exists in our country.

[jagermeister]

Wow.
I feel sorry for the type of people your country produces. Not to say its perfect up here, but I've never heard ignorance to this degree from anyone where I live.

I feel sorry for them too. It's really a shame because most people aren't anything close to this. We honestly have such honest and beautiful people, you just do not hear about them.

Best/worst line: "Hussein Mohammed Obama!"

How do you find this stuff? I wonder what McCain and Palin think of all this if they've seen it.

[samsara]

oh god i cant wait for sunday

[ambulance]

Sometimes I wonder if these pro-Obama protesters are just fuel to the fire at some of these rallies.

I doubt they have a problem with it. If they did, they wouldn't try to encourage such behaviour.

[oldwirehands]

Makes me wonder why anyone would hate Americans.

[saysmydoctor]

Sigh.

[shes.a.ghost]

There are plenty of idiots who are Obama supporters as well. I don't really care about the type of people who are voting for a candidate, I care about the candidate. Although these people are pathetic and completely ignorant, it would be a shame for someone to assume this type of personality on the one they are supporting. But it is extremely common to do so. All this being said, I don't like McCain. I'm also not a big Obama fan either.

[saysmydoctor]

That excuse is running so thin, honestly.

[firewater]

The old guy with the monkey just makes to sick to be honest. The underlying racism is just ridiculous, and I know until most of the older generation is gone, it will still be a big part of our country... The worst guy was the one saying that Obama would put fucking Al Sharpton and Jesse Jackson in his cabinet. This guy obviously doesn't watch any REAL news to find out that Jesse Jackson dislikes Obama, and that Obama isn't some black supremecist(He's mixed).

I don't really know why people ignore the fact that he's also half white.

A question I've been wondering ever since McCain said this type of behavior and language was used towards him at Obama rallies.

You would have thought, if they existed, the videos would have been given out by the McCain campaign to Fox News by now. I am not saying they don't exist - I'd just love to see proof.

I spent a few days ago looking too ... :shrug:

Best I could find was youtube face videos saying McCain sucked ... nothing on par with the aforementioned videos.

i was going to go see Palin Sunday and watch her speak

but now i think im going to protest with my friend Kenny

Why would you want to watch her speak in the first place?

if you are not a christian fundamentalist you're clearly a terrorist who hates america.

[shes.a.ghost]

Where are the Obama supporters like this ... ?All over the United States. Are you expecting me to find a video on youtube to prove it? I'm not even going to do that to try and prove something that should just be understood. I like enough things about Obama to where I side with him, but I cannot stand how some of his supporters seem to think that he is absolutely perfect. To me, anyone who votes for someone just because they say they are a Democrat or a Republican is going about things the wrong way. There are plenty of people who are going to vote for Obama soley because he seems to be way different than Bush, yet they don't really do their homework on him at all. Same exact thing applies to McCain, because there are definitely plenty of people doing the same with him. But, to act like ignorance is only for Republicans IS ignorant, to me.

[Olympia]

It's kind of hard to understand a point when there isn't anything to show that the point is true.

Great video to watch after coming back from my vacation...sigh...

[shes.a.ghost]

It's kind of hard to understand a point when there isn't anything to show that the point is true.That's ridiculous. To assume that 100% of Obama's supporters are supporting him for the right reasons is absurd. I personally know a handfull of people are voting for him only because of the color of his skin. If that is not a bogus reason to vote for someone then, wow. Obama and his supporters can do no wrong, right? And to say otherwise needs to be proven by one of them being stupid on youtube. Ridiculous.

Common sense does not apply here. Everyday occurences don't count. You must provide proof for everything, even those things that any person could very easily see for his or herself.

I have yet to read about see or hear about an Obama rally where hateful language as extreme as "Kill Him" or "Off with his head" were used to speak about John McCain. I believe there are people who support Obama that say stuff like that about McCain, but the point we're making is that you do not see it at his rallies, at least not to our knowledge because there's been no evidence given to show us otherwise. The guy fuckin' tells his rally goers not to boo John McCain for christ sake.

You should probably just accept that you can't make statements and expect them to be true based on gut instinct or common sense.

It isn't common sense that a group of men would all get together and cut their balls of in a cult, but hey...it happened.

Everything needs proof.

[misterchainsaw]

Where the hell do they find these kind of people? I'm not an Obama supporter, but the content in those videos is embarrassing to me as an American.

Someone in that video definately said Hitler was a socialist, which is hilarious. Didn't he hate socialists? Weren't fascists and socialists like mortal enemies? I'm pretty sure they were.

[boykosaurus]

Obviously Communism = Socialism which in turn = Fascism and thus all that equals a Democrat.

[darkheart]

People like that throw around words like Socialism without actually knowing what that system of government entails. America today does have some socialistic practices. A perfect Democracy is impossible. Our citizens are almost becoming more uneducated about these things by listening to our one-sided media. The attitude towards Obama right now is proof of how Democracy can never be perfect. Unfortunately stupid people seem to like to vote. I don't agree with everything Obama says but I'm not idiotic enough to believe what these morons think.

[samsara]

I am at a palin rally right now :( im sacred

No, it's not a lie. At all. What do you make of the Bill Ayers ad(s)? Sarah Palin's comments at rallies ("Palling around with Terrorists;" "He doesn't see America the way we do")? What about these "robo-calls" that people are receiving around the country? Or what about the lies that are told to volunteers in the McCain camp in VA (and who knows where else?), so that they can tell voters how Obama is linked to Osama because they both have friends who bombed the Pentagon?

Seriously, what do you think all these things do? Because they surely don't make people look at Obama in a positive light. Let's also not forget that the Republican party spreads lies about Obama being a Muslim. A Muslim and a friend of terrorists.... wow, yeah, that definitely sounds like someone that Americans would want in office!

[FScott]

John Stewart had Goldberg on his show and just ripped the book to pieces. I don't understand how it has a 4 star review on Amazon.

[darkheart]

I has a 4 star review because America is in love with foolish idiocy.

Let's be honest here neither candidate is exactly what we need right now. Neither one has the experience required to handle all the situations that they will have to face in office. Both candidates will do what they can to make the other look bad. Just because one gets caught doing it does not mean that the other is not doing it as well.

In our country people get into office by making the other guy look worse. Its just one of the many problems with our government today.

Email I got:

I remember hearing from a person who would know all too well, how much the Germans were taken by a man who made all kinds of promises for change and had all the answers for the Germans. They actually loved him and guess what, they got what they thought they wanted...Hitler..... when it was all said and done it was too late.

I am not trying to offend anyone, your party preference is your business; but, I do believe that we certainly need to pray and pray constantly for our country and it’s leadership. This is our future as well as our children, grandchildren and future generations. Please pray for God’s help.
CALL TO PRAYER ABOUT THE ELECTIONS
I was very dismayed when, recently, a family member of mine said to me with great resignation that Obama will take the presidency. These words came from someone who in the past has been a great prayer warrior. What is happening was my question??? Why are we Christians settling and not issuing a battle cry and falling to our knees and taking our country back? We allow ourselves to be stripped of the right to pray at school functions and in school, we have the Ten Commandments removed from government places and are told we cannot pray in school, all the while providing public prayer places for Muslims.



What in the world is going on and why are we being apathetic? Why aren't we praying? Our God is a mighty God who is waiting patiently for us to raise our voices to heaven to stop the tide of the anti-Christ actions in our world today. Now we find we have a charismatic candidate for president who does not respect our flag and refuses to wear one on his lapel except when it becomes politically expedient and whose own wife and pastor that he loves profess to have strong anti-white feelings, and we sit back and say 'it is a given, we can do nothing.' There has never been a time in 2000 years that we can do nothing, never a time that we must sit back and allow the evil in men's and women's hearts to take over our world. We should be very afraid because our apathy is leading us to perdition.



It is time for all Christian Americans to raise the battle cry and take our nation back. Maybe M cCain on his own cannot defeat Obama, but our God can and He will if we take to our knees in prayer and raise a mighty cry to the heavens to 'Save us O Lord.' We have the power to change the course of this election and to keep a man as suspect as Barak Obama from leading our country to who knows where with his message of 'change' - a change which I fear will be away from our Christian ideals and away from Christ, and further away from one nation under God to one nation under Allah.



We are great at passing stories and pictures around the internet, but where are our prayers and prayer warriors praying to stop this tide of Barak Obama? God parted the red sea, the Father God raised Jesus from the dead, and we can bring our country back to its Christian roots and stop the move to the rise of Muslims in our country. We can stop our country from being 'under Allah,' but we must begin to pray, to pray as if our country and our lives depended on it, because they do. We can stop all these atrocities against God's commands that have taken root in our country through something as simple as sincere prayer, a call to God to deliver us, to forgive us our sins of apathy and to protect us from the evil that is upon us.



Okay, prayer warriors, here is your challenge, start those prayer chains. Get the spiritual power working on our behalf and stop Barak Obama the proper way, by calling on our God to save us from the deception that charismatic preaching is using to lead us on the wrong path. Stop those who would take God out of our country and our government. Raise up good men to lead us and protect us. George Bush is being buffeted because he has fought a holy war against the evils that attack us and we should not be surprised because a prophet is not honored in his own country. But we should not r est on our laurels and allow ourselves to be taken further off the path of Christianity and to have God removed from our presence in our schools, courts, government and businesses. Invite God into the fray. Ask that His power rest upon us and give us the victory. Ask him to raise up a might army to defend us and to protect our country as he did in days of old. Let us be victorious beginning NOW. The battle is His but we must call on Him without ceasing and unite our voices and hearts in prayer and fasting.



Please pass this around to all people of prayer that you know and maybe, just maybe a more eloquent person of prayer will write something better and more inspiring and even the rocks will shout that Jesus is Lord and our Mighty God is with us, bringing the victory for us and ultimately for Him.

it's hard not to hate people who have so digustingly warped the bible, can't get it through their head that separation of church and state is a good thing (for government and religion alike), believe obama has a muslim agenda, and think there is such a thing as a "holy war"........but i keep trying.

prayer warriors? the very idea goes directly against the whole purpose of prayer and what it's supposed to achieve.

well at least their main 'defense' against Obama is prayer (on the surface anyhow)

It is pretty common for people to say it, but people being aware of it does not seem to change anything. This election everyone wants to point out a lot of things that, when you think about it, aren't that important. Like whether or not Obama is a Muslim. People who take religion too far are the ones making outlandish statements. In the end, we seem to choose candidates without really knowing much of whats really important in regards to political policy.

AKA people who don't even know the things like the differences between political systems. (That wasn't meant to be an insult to anyone posting here so don't be oversensitive.)

[secthagoals626]

The really depressing youtube videos are the ones of the McCain/Palin Mob, where the cameraman asks if Obama is a terrorist and nearly everyone says yes or spouts off about how they are 10x more experienced then him. We don't get too many of them out here in Massachusetts though haha.

[what_ever]

Where the hell do they find these kind of people? I'm not an Obama supporter, but the content in those videos is embarrassing to me as an American.

it's like when the space shuttle exploded in '02, pieces literally scattered across my yard and neighborhood. FEMA and every other government agency as well as every news station you can think of was camped out in our town civic center.

you better believe the news reporters picked the most uneducated, ignorant hillbillies possible to interview. the ones who perpetuate regional stereotypes and do a representational disservice to a large number of others. and it's done at all levels.

in short: fuck the news. all of it.

Here's a lit of misconceptions.

-He's Muslim (who cares anyway)
-He's a socialist
-He's a communist
-He's a terrorist
-He's a far left liberal
-He's inexperienced (define experience?)
-He's wasn't born an American citizen.
-He's an elitist
-He hates "Real America"
-His economic plan is bad for the country
-His health care plan is bad for the country
-His foreign policies are bad for the country
-He believes in black superiority
-He is not a family man
-He isn't patriotic
-He "pals around" with terrorists (define "pals around") *note my use of "dick fingers"
-He is pro-abortion
-His tax plan raises taxes on middle class families
-He wants universal health care
-He never votes in the senate
-He is black, meaning bad (racism is fucking stupid)
-He wants to punish hard working Americans
-Talking instead of fighting is a sign of weakness

There's more, but its late and I'm tired and don't feel like going on forever.

You'll seem to do anything to twist your way into being right. The dictionary is used to define words, sorry it's not "good" enough for you.

It listed both words in their political context.

Here is a political dictionary. Look at "left wing", liberal is included in the definition.

It's crazy that you think sources should have to cite sources haha.
