Look at These Idiots

The bottom of the barrel voters have been found. And they’re sooooo not pretty.

(via bloggerinterrupted)

UPDATE: On my second and third viewings of this video, it strikes me that all of these people speak in the same kind of mangled syntax as Gov. Sarah Palin. Any time their sentences stretch to more than five words, their subject/verb agreement goes right down the shitter. Jeebus. I understand they’re discussing an emotional topic, but for god’s sake. No wonder they love Sarah Palin. They all speak the same word salad patois.

UPDATE 2: Then there’s these nice folks that Sully found:

Ah, the quiet dignity of small town Americans.

    Weren’t they in Stupidsville, not Strongsville?

    I hope these people don’t know how to vote.

    Goddam, those are some scary people. And yet, lots of people don’t think improved education should be a priority in the US.

    Yep. Them’s my folks. There are reasons I left the Oklahoma hill country and these are some of them.

    Aww Mann. These are my people, too. And some of their ignorance is willful, and has been encouraged by their putative ‘leaders’. At least some of them are sick of the Republicans. I’m betting my county will manage 40% for Obama this time.
    And maybe Georgia can get rid of that f*cker Saxby Chambiss…

    Nice to see Jennifer Wilbanks standing strong for Palin, there.

    Neither of them is perfect, but if you, out of nowhere, are going to grab a woman out of the woods and make her your vice presidential candidate, what can I do?

    “[Sarah Palin] is like Jodie Foster in the movie ‘Nell,’ ” Stewart continued. “They just found her, and she was speaking her own special language.

    “Have you noticed how [Palin's] rallies have begun to take on the characteristics of the last days of the Weimar Republic? In Florida, she asked ‘Who is Barack Obama?’ Hey, lady, we just met YOU five f-ing weeks ago.”

    Thanks PaTRex for that FrankFactor clip, considering it was posted 9/24, not only is he clairvoyant -he must be in a straight jacket by now.

    Both top clips are more proof that beer is the only reason bottom of the barrel Republicans reproduce, PARTICULARLY in the square state of Ohio.

    I find these horrifying. I had to hold my 82-year-old grandmother and her 92-year-old sister’s hands just to get them to the point where they would vote for Obama. They are Democrats, they were Hillary supporters and were not going to vote for Obama, because they are afraid that something would happen to him. They said it was too hard after JFK. I told them it would be fine, it’s a different age, people have come a long way.
    Now, I am not so sure I was right.
    I will never “come together and work” with these people. Never.

    Yo, T.

    The guy who’s running against Saxby - is he the real deal? Does he have a genuine chance to win? Should I be opening my checkbook for this guy?

    Someone needs to call out Chambliss on his latest BS. Drill baby drill because the US has more oil than Saudi Arabia and it’s those damned Dems in Congress who won’t let us have it. I’m SO tired of hearing this crap.

    It really should be against the law to lie to the American people in a political campaign.

    I’m from SE Ohio(moved to GA about 25 yrs ago) and lordy do we have boatloads,truckloads and assloads of people like that up there. But,poor people in areas that have been jobless since the good union jobs went overseas in the 80’s are wising up. They’re registering to vote in pretty big numbers. And I’d bet that alot of the morons don’t vote anyway.

    Jim Martin who is running against Chambliss is the real thing. I’ve been writing checks since he announced late spring, when nobody gave him a chance. Now he’s within 1% point. Max Cleland is a friend of mine and I was horrified at what Chambliss did to him in 2002, so it would be great if Jim, also a Viet Nam vet, beat the tar out of him. Please do write a check to Jim’s campaign!

    I live in Wisconsin. This state has nothing but small towns. When I hear all the BS about small town values, it makes me laugh. They are filled with drunks, everybody is sleeping around with other people’s mates. The small town values is a myth.

    She’ll get hers - in 15 years she’ll start to look like Luciane Goldberg.
