- claycle, on 02/19/2008, -7/+67Being born to Muslim parents does not make you Muslim anymore than being born to Christian parents makes you Christian. Religion is a choice, not a genetic hand-me-down.
- BristolMyLove, on 12/21/2008, -5/+44Their ignorance is embarrassing.
- GhostyBoy, on 02/19/2008, -1/+32Well, at least they made him lunch.
- hunterlaw, on 02/19/2008, -11/+37Praise Jesus and pass the ammunition Bubba.
- stuks, on 02/19/2008, -4/+27I live pretty close to the area that was highlighted, Lynchburg. And let me tell you that it most certainly isn't just small town logic. I live in a fairly large city, and you hear the same crazy ***** EVERYWHERE. I love Tennessee, but most of its people are extremely ignorant.
- mcsith, on 02/19/2008, -8/+30It is just not the republican side it is both sides. Dem or Repub doesn't matter you will have some ignorant folks on either side.
~mcsith - GhostyBoy, on 02/19/2008, -8/+27You are linking to one of Frank Luntz' pretend focus groups, on Fox news no less. What point do you imagine you are trying to make?
- jaymzdean, on 02/19/2008, -8/+26"I don't want a woman that would support her husband with the thangs that he done..."
Shut. The. *****. Up. You. Ignernt. Bitch. - MadKennyP, on 02/19/2008, -4/+21Almost as bad as eeel's above.
- drmobutu, on 02/19/2008, -7/+23Being born to Jewish parents makes you Jewish, though...
- barandon0D9, on 02/19/2008, -0/+15Thanks for the piece of information on "Egyptian rules" ... How is that relevant?
- bentman78, on 02/19/2008, -0/+14Buried. This is similar to race baiting but just with a party you disagree with and has no scientific basis. You can go into Detroit, Milwaukee, Watts or any other place with a largely Democratic voter base without substantial education and you will find the same types of answers. Ignorance isn't party based, it's usually brought about from lack of education either willingly or unwillingly. Just because you're Republican doesn't mean you're ignorant. Interestingly enough, the people with the highest levels of education that I know personally (Doctorates and Master's) are all Republicans some even being Baptists. By the comments and people here generalizing as they do, you show you are in fact no better or in fact more close minded than the people you openly criticize. It's a shame really.
- brycelb, on 02/19/2008, -1/+14Even though I think signing your posts is obnoxious I agree. Only the brain dead would think that's not the case.
- Eiknujrac, on 02/19/2008, -2/+15Do you people really still exist? This is laughable. Oh I get it, are you related to the kind young women in the video?
- DukeMojo, on 02/19/2008, -7/+19And then my family wonders why religion bothers me so much. Sheesh.
- Eiknujrac, on 02/19/2008, -3/+13Ignorance: lack of knowledge, education, or awareness
Eel thinks he is aware of the American electorate, he believes he speaks for them. All I will have is one argument, come 2009, when Obama steps into office: You were wrong. - ccfoo242, on 02/19/2008, -3/+13These people scare me.
- julianwan, on 02/19/2008, -6/+15I always thought it was silly when americans threatened to move to other countries based on the political atmosphere or type of people IN america. I am seriously considering it now. Los Angeles (i live) is ridiculously liberal, but still america.
I need some scandinavian countries in my life. - inactive, on 02/19/2008, -3/+12Jewish is an ethnicity, religion, and culture all under the same name.
- MadKennyP, on 02/19/2008, -0/+9From an April 5, 2004, Chicago Sun-Times article: Obama describes his father, after whom he is named, as "agnostic." His paternal grandfather was a Muslim. His mother, he says, was a Christian. When he was 6 years old, after his parents divorced, Obama moved with his mother and her new husband -- a non-practicing Muslim -- to Indonesia, where he lived until he was 10 and attended a Roman Catholic school.
"I went to a Catholic school in a Muslim country, so I was studying the Bible and catechisms by day, and, at night, you'd hear the [Muslim] prayer call," Obama recalls. "My mother was a deeply spiritual person and would spend a lot of time talking about values and give me books about the world's religions and talk to me about them. - kete00, on 02/19/2008, -0/+9There's plenty of sheep on both sides.
- azAZ09, on 02/19/2008, -1/+10I mostly agree except that homeschooling isn't ujst for the religious, sometimes it is used to provide a secular student with an environment where they won't be bullied into false beliefs.
- WhiteRaven, on 02/19/2008, -4/+13This has nothing to do with religion. Ignorance comes to those of every creed... or none. So she heard these things about Obama and believes them. This is no different from the lies and insults people buy into about Bush and Chaney
- moskaudancer, on 02/19/2008, -3/+11This southern town's name is "Lynchburg"?! Huh. I really don't know what to say about that. Words fail me.
- zKman, on 02/19/2008, -1/+9http://www.google.com/search?q=%22Barack+Hussein+O ...
That's a lot of copypasta. - robbh66, on 02/19/2008, -1/+9I've been there. It was named after a guy named Lynch, not lynching.
- brycelb, on 02/19/2008, -4/+11Yup. Ask any Jew on the planet. Even though I think it's horse *****, Jews believe that if your mother was Jewish so are you, period.
- thomoore, on 02/19/2008, -2/+9You may not respect these citizens' knowledge, but do you REALLY want to take away their right to vote? http://www.scragged.com/articles/should-college-ki ... explores the issue of setting qualifications for voting. Do we want to go there? If not, let 'em vote and don't gripe about it.
- SheilaNoya, on 02/19/2008, -11/+17The utter ignorance of the Evangelicals never ceases to amaze me. These idiots are the perfect example of why homeschooling is NOT a good idea. They need a little more contact with REALITY.
- kaelyiesta, on 02/19/2008, -3/+9Wait, are you saying that the iraq occupation is legal? I think you should read this as it sums up my arguments pretty well:
http://www.fff.org/comment/com0204a.asp - toddcat, on 02/19/2008, -4/+10Why would hope be a bad thing? Shouldn't one's leaders inspire? Does G. W. Bush inspire you? That might be a rhetorical question, because if he does, well, you must be a dry drunk with a bad temper, an ignorant stubborn streak a mile wide, and very little compassion for anyone outside yourself.
- inactive, on 02/19/2008, -1/+7Don't feed the troll. He's just some bitter Republican shut-in who sits in his own hate and bile all day.
- clokwise, on 02/19/2008, -1/+7Do it!
I bought a one-way ticket to Australia the day Bush was 'elected' around 7 years ago. I'm now a proud citizen of Australia! My life has changed in many positive ways as a result of moving here. - Veretax, on 02/19/2008, -0/+5You know, I'm a christian, and have been called a Bible Thumper, but I think the choice of book sworn on really doesn't matter. President is a political office, a part of the government. I don't vote for a president just because he/she is a Christian That's just plain lunacy. And I'll be honest, if it came down between McCain and Obama, as a Republican, I don't like McCain, didn't like him in 2000, but he was better then Bush, I'm not sure I can vote for either, but I'll give Obama the chance to win my vote. IF its hilary, then I have little choice, just as in the last two elections :/ So please Dems nominate Obama so I actually have a choice come November.
- kaelyiesta, on 02/19/2008, -1/+6What you should do to really piss people off is to mis-sign your name. Write "~mcsiht" or something. You know how many people will develop a nervous tick after reading your comments? It would be glorious.
- mu0p, on 02/19/2008, -1/+6Yeah, but they're disappointed with him for NOT BEING CHRISTIAN ENOUGH.
- culturedredneck, on 02/19/2008, -0/+5because putting them in public school will make them much smarter... right?
- lamprey187, on 02/19/2008, -2/+7if ignorance is truly bliss then these folks should be turning cartwheels 24/7
- Bhima, on 02/19/2008, -0/+5I don't know what sort of christians are creeping around Australia, I haven't lived there in over 20 years. What I can speak about is the difference between christians in the US and the christians in Europe. The Americans have really got the extremist thing going on and it's really, really scary. Here in Europe they are much more down to earth and easier to get a long with.
If you really listen to the undercurrent of what the American chrisitans want, it's christian reconstructionism and that's different from Sharia only slightly (less beards) - bruce86, on 02/19/2008, -8/+12he's not gay like you...... OOOOOHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
- inactive, on 02/19/2008, -3/+7Go away doucher. Just because your messiah Ron Paul isn't doing better doesn't mean you should go around being a dick about Obama.
- PaoloMarcenaro, on 02/19/2008, -2/+6It depends if you expect the actual carpenter's son turned preacher to come back or the beefy, blonde, blue-eyed, gun-toting republican jeesus...
- NikoKun, on 02/19/2008, -0/+4yeah... that was a lot scarier to watch than I expected it would be... @_@
- ncairns, on 02/19/2008, -1/+5Yes. Not believing in evolution requires the same degree of ignorance.
- julianwan, on 02/19/2008, -0/+4*****, so if i'm born a certain way (ie BLACK) i can never make it in america? land of the free? all men are created equal?
oh *****, i forgot, people like you exist, and vote - DangerCollie, on 02/19/2008, -1/+4"I wouldn't consider these evangelical nutbags to be a fair representation of the Republican party."
Well, they probably don't go to your church or have a membership at your country club but in TN, they are typical Republicans. These are the people you lied to and use like chumps. Your party is corrupt and your philosophy is a lie and failure. There's no way Kerry could have been a worse president than Bush, at least you had the shine to see that much.
Both parties are corrupt and Washington is a den of thieves. So you have to decide if you want corrupt and supports some relief for the middle and lower classes or corrupt and supporting the rich and powerful? - aliengoods, on 02/19/2008, -0/+3There is a difference. Democrats haven't infused religion into their party they way Republicans have. I challenge you to prove otherwise.
It's not about beliefs but about indoctrination. Watch the documentary "Jesus Camp" sometime. It's scares the hell out of me. - inactive, on 02/19/2008, -3/+6ROFL @ this video!! retard conservatives WAKE UP!!!!
- ncairns, on 02/19/2008, -0/+3Sorry to tell you, but it's only a little bit better here - about 70% of Australians identify as Christians. You'll want to head for Scandinavia. I recommend Finland or Denmark.
- Jakerzon, on 02/19/2008, -1/+4Yeah, this type of ignorance scares the ***** of me, too. But this is nothing new to me. These radical bible-toting morons have been saying the same stupid things time and time again. They wouldn't even remotely understand the concept of thinking out of the bible box because quite simply, they're not freethinkers. If you gave them 20 hours a day access to the internet for 5 years, they'd still check off evolution as, "just a theory," as did this 100% freaky idiot Huckabee.
However, the description is about a "typical Republican." I wouldn't go so far as to say that this interview is a common republican viewpoint. -
