Howard Stern Conducts an Experiment with Some, Um, “Low-Information” Obama Voters

By SusanUnPC on October 13, 2008 at 2:50 PM in Barack Obama, Qualifications, Voter Enfranchisement

Well, to be perfectly frank, I have no idea how to title this post. I’m dumbfounded. First, to get this out of the way, I never thought I’d post a video featuring Howard Stern because of, as the reader who sent this video to me noted, he is so sexist in how he treats women. But, this video needs to be seen. Share it with your friends.

I’m 150% for voter enfranchisement. But, to state the obvious, it is incumbent on voters to make an effort to learn something about the candidate’s experience, qualifications, and policies.

These people were not tricked by clever questioning. The interviewer made an effort to be straightforward in how he posed the questions. So the Obama camp cannot complain about these interviews.

Here is the direct link to this video. It comes from Rootsarama‘s YouTube channel. I haven’t had a chance to view more of his videos, but they seem worth a look. If any of you do check them out, please report what you found.

    LMAO.

    • PhxNickD

      This is more scary then funny.

      • MSM Drone

        Honestly this is just people not trusting their own information. They know they support Obama, Howard Stern is just bullying them into saying silly things. Which is not to say that voting for Obama is a smart decision (obviously)

        • barry bums a ciggie

          Howard Stern is just bullying them into saying silly things

          Where was the bullying?

          • ugo

            Why don’t see things for what there are?

          • beebop

            Duh …. It wasn’t even Howard interviewing them. Don’t you just love that WORMS now apply to everyone having anything to do with 0bama? GET OUT OF HERE TROLLS!!!!! You are the low information supporters!!!!!

        • Ferd McBerfle

          They wouldn’t know their own ass if it was shown to them in 3-D and are easily manipulated, especially by someone with “star” power like Oblockhead. These are the sorts who would merrily trip down the lane destined for their own destruction if the One told them to so do. These people shouldn’t be allowed to vote as they are No-Information voters.

        • fif

          Your name is very fitting, MSM Drone. That’s obviously where you get your talking points. People “trusting their own information?” What information would that be–a complete lack of understanding of the issues? Ridiculous.

        • C.S.

          Howard Stern just reported this. The last paragraph links you to a site that will give you more information. But these people didn’t sound tricked, they sounded hoodwinked

        • Kato

          For God’s sake. They don’t even know who Obama’s VP candidate is? Not trusting their own information? What exactly is their “own information” that they don’t trust?

          It takes more effort to have a driver’s license than it does to vote, at least in most people’s worlds.

          • AnninCA

            oh come on……this is comedy.

            These people aren’t voters.

            They think Palin is Obama’s running mate? LOL*

            These are not people who are REMOTELY interested in voting, and you know it.

            It was a comedy bit.

            Good one……but a bit.

            • Kato

              AnninCA,

              I usually appreciate your posts, well thought out, and to the point. But you are wrong here. This isn’t comedy, it’s tragedy. Stern wasn’t trying to be funny, it just followed suit.

              They are interested in voting and they will. Count on it.

              This is pure Jon Stewart material, speak the truth and people laugh at it as you have. It’s so incredible…but it’s the truth.

              I live and work with the folks that are saying these things and it’s real. Don’t raise your expectations of people while expecting the best.

        • http://pumasunleashed.wordpress.com Tellurian

          I didn’t hear any bulling… They were being honest. The are voting skin color!

        • Obamassiah

          You call it bullying. I call it voting for your race. Who are we kidding. Those 3 people haven’t a clue as to what is going on or why they are voting, except for Obama’s color.

        • INDYFORMC

          Stern was not even on site for the questions. it was joe random asking the questions. this is just OBLAHBLAHS FINEST

        • Marie

          It just shows that people aren’t paying attention to what is really going on and which candidate wants what. I think that all of these people need to vote for the right person for the views and plans on what they are going to do not because they are black. It’s not McCain that has made this a race war, it is Obama. It really shows how uneducated Obama and his supporters are.

          • tori

            This is not a one sided problem. The American public is uninformed about many things ie. 1/3 of Americans could not find American on a map.
            The vast majority of Obama supporters support his views and policy. If McCain’s campaign and political strategy was so great, the few who are voting just to vote would not matter.
            This example surely took several people interviewed to find the misinformed. All to similar to the likes Jay-Walking or any other comic bit about American stupidity. This is not a voting crisis, it’s an educational crisis.

        • Lizzie Struthers

          Then you have a lot more explaining to do. Start here.

          http://youtube.com/watch?v=fJuNgBkloFE

        • Whitney

          Bullying them into saying silly things? I know if someone asked me if I support Obama and then asked me if I would be happy about Palin being vice I would pick it up right away. People need to pay attention to detail. Politics may not be the most interesting form of news but people are lazy and don’t care and gravitate toward the “easy” choice. If John Mccain looked a little less like Bush and a lot more like Kennedy don’t you think it would have been a closer race? People chose Obama because 1. he’s black (you argue that all day but it’s the truth) 2. he’s young and 3. He uses big words to “wow” the public (it worked btw the American community got sucked into his words). All I am saying is don’t base your opinion on appearance and words alone. I voted Republican. I didn’t vote specifically for a candidate and I didn’t think Mccain or Obama were qualified candidates but since we did fight for that right to vote I voted republican. Not for the person, for the party.

      • tek

        Agreed. My husband and I have been saying since Dubya ran, maybe there should be tests to qualify for voting–people should know basic facts about crucial issues.

        • Lizzie Struthers

          When nations have the theoretical capability to destroy the entire planet – absolutely. What is more crucial: testing drivers that may cause or be involved in road accidents costing dozens of lives? Or voters putting a maniac on the nuclear trigger that may cost billions of lives? This is a no-brainer. Naturalised citizens in the US have to pass a basic proficiency test what I’ve heard. Those already born there don’t seem to have to know anything.

          Then you have the responsibility of the MSM. Finally you have the overall mindset which is methodically inculcated by the powers that be. Shocking truth: they like things this way!

        • Whitney

          that’s already happened and it’s against the law.

    • Tyrione

      What’s ironic is that Howard probably has a larger Female audience than Male audience. The myth that he is a mysoginistic pig has been his calling card to create his own reputation and audience, resulting through this reverse-psychology a $500 Million contract on Sirius/XM Satellite Radio.

      • http://investigatebarackobama.blogspot.com/ kat in your hat

        Did anyone see the recent 20/20? John Stossel says maybe people should NOT vote if they are uninformed.

        They interviewed people (Obot types at a concert) and these young people didn’t know who the VP was or how many senators there were. They never heard of Roe v. Wade.

        I am not kidding. A young woman was like, “Roe v WANE? What’s that? Did that have to do with black people going to white schools?”

        It was terrible.

        • tek

          Didnt know how many senators there are? Hmm, just like Obama doesn’t know how many states are in the U. S. Yup, it’ll be a great administration if he gets in.

          • Lizzie Struthers

            Huh? There are 114 senators. Everybody knows that! Two for each state.

        • http://nativeamericansagainstobama.wordpress.com/ timepasssages
      • wry

        Yeah, as a feminist I go back and forth on Howaed Stern. But I like funny, and Howard is brilliantly funny.

        • csuzeq

          Stern supported Hillary in the primaries and is mad at the dems. I think Stern is a PUMA!

      • msindy

        Ironic? Why’d you make that up about his audience? And Stern has a rep for being sexist because he is. Facts are your friends.

    • tillthen

      Frankly, I didn’t find this funny at all, but rather encouraging. It’s about time Sarah Palin got a fair shake from Obama voters.

  • Boxer Mum 06

    Un f-ing believable! I would be laughing if it weren’t so pathetically sad. They don’t even know who his running mate is – all these anti-Palin folks… this is just very sad.

  • Above My Pay Grade

    Really amazing! I could sort of understand 0bama supporters not knowing he was not pro-life and in favor of keeping the troop in Iraq until we win the war. Out of touch and blindly voting based upon race, sure. But hey, not everybody keeps up on the candidate positions.

    But, saying they think Sarah Palin would do a good job as 0bama’s VP??? Wow!

      “this” is concerning – he’s “very sick” and under the are of a physician.

      • educatedwhitewoman

        “care” – I’m sick myself!

        • bethtopaz

          educatedwhitewoman,

          I think a lot of people are feeling scared, uncertain and sick.

          The thought of someone like BO being POTUS and thinking he might do it by voter fraud is appalling.

          I called the Napa (CA) Republican headquarters this morning to find out if there was a meet-up close by to watch the Wed. night debates and she told me they were really busy.

          They had Dems and Inds from Sonoma Cty. (Wine Country – usually very liberal), Vallejo (near S.F. Bay Are), and other nearby towns and counties calling and coming in — changing their registration, donating money, asking to help on Election Day.

          She said she feels very positive about McCain/Palin’s chances and that there’s a huge silent majority out there that will NOT vote for Obama.

          • John House

            Oh, good, that’s good to know (I’m in Oakland). I’m pretty positive all the AAs in Oakland are gonna go for Obama, but the one that I know who isn’t isn’t voting at all. >___>

    • samb

      I HEARD HIS RADIO INTERVIEW WITH HANNITY, HE SAID HE HAD E-MAILS FROM ODINGA TO OBAMA AND OBAMA TO ODINGA HOPE HE GET THE INFO OUT THERE SOME HOW, GOOD LUCK. I WILL TRY TO FIND LINK.

      • samb
      • wry

        I hope this wasn’t just a gimmick to sell his book. I’d hate to think he scammed Hannity.
        Oh Dear God! I can’t believe I just wrote that! A year ago the DNC was good and Hannity was bad. What a year it’s been.

        • cruz

          i bought his book and i believe with the historic nature of this election, it might be worth something to my grandkids someday. the day America stood up and said NO, WE WILL FIGHT FOR OUR RIGHTS GRANTED TO US IN THE CONSTITUTION OF THE GREAT UNITED STATES OF AMERICA. WE WILL PEVAIL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    • tek

      Dem mantra: the most crucial election you’ll ever vote in! (No need to get informed though).

  • Likable Enough

    What were all the polls saying about Obama garnering the supporter of those with “higher educations”?? lmfao

  • samb

    Identity politics, NO SURPRISE HERE, I wish people could look beyond this.

    • bemused

      Now that would make good ads, where the “identity” is these stupid bots “identified” with Obama. Make O supporters look like someone you’d never want to identify with.

      Guilt by association works, but cuts both ways. First when the Zero was really cool, people wanted to associate for the coolness, then they heard (based on a limited experience actually) that more educated voters were voting for O, so they wanted to look more educated too, the feeling of identification intensifies. But, when the real-life associates turn out to be crooks of many types, there’s a backfire for some supporters.

      That’s why the Zeroes have been trying to pooh-pooh guilt by association; but it’s more inoculation, this time against an attack tactic. However, now when people seem to be paying some attention, it is time to turn loose relentlessly with every bad guy, swat the trolls, repost the evidence, etc.

  • liz

    Ubelievable!

    OT: Someone just called into a radio talk show and said that he was at the Mayo clinic last week (Wed.) and said he talked with a newspaper person from Milwauke that was also there. The newspaper person said the scuttlebut at the moment around the newsroom was that the Obama camp was in negotiations with McCain to get him to tone down the Ayers, et al rhetoric and refocus the the tone of his campaign. If he did this, they were negotiationg that MaCain may be named head of Homeland Security in an Obama administration (or another cabinet position).
    The guy said he was shocked when on Friday on TV he started seeing McCain do a turn-around. He was a McCain supporter and wasn’t happy if that was the case. He said he wouldn’t have believed it totally, but after seeing McCain/Palin do a 180 on Ayers, who knows.

    The station is WLS in Chicago.

    • Pennsylvania goes RED!

      no.

    • educatedwhitewoman

      Chicago – the home of the disinformation campaign and “pay to play” politicians.

    • Andrew

      I don’t believe this at all. ZERO PERCENT.

      • educatedwhitewoman

        Why not? We saw those folks from Ohio today who claim that they had no clue it was illegal to register to vote over and over again. I haven’t seen one young Obama supporter who could articulate why they supported him – not one!

        • Andrew

          No. I believe that they said it, I don’t believe it is true. I don’t think McCain would sell out his country for a Cabinet position.

          • Pennsylvania goes RED!

            Really.

            Director of Homeland Security…LOL

            Tom Ridge already had that gig, he told McCain it’s not all that…

            That’s what I heard from someone at the local Starbucks.

          • beebop

            This is just more b fucking s from Soretoes. No credibility … so and so talking to so and so … PLEASE. A guy who didn’t take the early out from a POW camp is not kowtowing to a Chicagoland THUG!

        • Rah-Rah

          Add to that grown adults whom I have asked face-to-face to name *just one thing* of major accomplishment or experience that Obama can be proud of (major, not community organizing). Nothing. They can’t. Although he had enormous opportunity being head of the Afghanistan Committee in the Senate.

          Politically, Obama is a waste of space. With all this country has gone through under two terms of Junior, a 4-point lead at this stage of the game is pathetic; we should be ahead in polls by double-digits at this stage.

        • Docelder

          Some of them said he was “the man”. Of course Oprah… she said he is “the one”. ;)

          • beebop

            She didn’t want to upset her boyfriend. So he couldn’t be “the man.”

    • Ani

      Please don’t buy into this nonsense — they tried this disinformation campaign on Hillary, too. That was also b.s.

    • barry bums a ciggie

      I don’t believe this either. The very thought of McCain negotiating with a thug like O-barfo over a Homeland Security position is just plain stupid. McCain if after the top spot. No one runs to be a presidential nominee just to jockey for a cabinet position. McCain ain’t no Judas Richardson, he would never sell himself out like that. If the Hanoi Hilton didn’t rattle him, a punk like O-Soetoro could never get even close.

      • d2d

        Silly rumor. Two guys who don’t know each other meet at the Mayo Clinic and whoolah the one says John is kowtowing to the “one” so John is going to throw the election? Get a grip. What are you smoking?

    • bemused

      Maybe in an alternate universe McCain would back down from this fight.

    • westex

      nice try bot!! not buying that swamp for a minute

    • PleaseNoObama

      With all due respect, that seems extremely implausible. McCain can’t STAND Obama. Why in the world would he want to work closer with him?

  • ame

    It’s funny but pathetic.

    A college kid did the same thing with the issue of woman’s suffrage. Many woman were interviewed and said that they don’t agree with it. The video was posted on youtube; how embarassing.

    • WildChild

      They probably thought suffering was involved.

      • beebop

        LOL, thank you for the momentary break for humor … sick tho it may be!

      • wry

        Yeah but that is not knowing what “suffrage” means, which is understandable. We call it “the vote”.

        Not knowing who Barack Obama is running with is a much deeper layer of ignorance.

    • bethtopaz

      My son did a high school project back in 2003 where he and his friend went into Davis, CA and asked people on the street if the government should end women’s sufferage.

      Many folks said “Oh, yes, it should be stopped.”

      A few started to say that and then stopped and said,”Wait a minute … suffrage. I don’t think so.”

      It’s amazing how ignorant so many in our country are.

      But there are still lots of informed and intelligent people.

      We need to appeal to them – unless they are already in the koolaid coma.

      • speedstan

        Actually, the worst ones are the ones who THINK they know everything, but don’t. There are plenty of left-of-center types who think that regurgitating talking points abosrbed while sipping latte or buying their organic veggies constitutes a broad depth of knowledge on the issues. IMHO we need to incorporate some type of “pop quiz” (in English only) at the ballot box with basic questions regarding our type of government and the Constitution. 20 questions, 50% or better and you’re allowed to vote. It wouldn’t be a perfect system, but it would weed out the type of dimwits who were interviewed by Stern’s proteges, as well as most of Cynthia McKinney’s constituents…

  • doe

    I think I’m going to be sick! And to deny that the US education system isn’t dumbing down students is just head-in-the-sand! God help us.

  • d2d

    C’mon, give me a break. And AAs have the nerve to hurl the “R” word at anyone non black.

    The most destructive part about this whole “racism” narrative that Axelrod has conjured up is the fact a majority of “us” caucasions and other nationality’s were raised to believe in the words of MLK and other black leaders that “people not be judged by the color of their skin but by the content of their character”.

    Damn, what happened to reaching for that dream? Have we been being “bamboozled” and “hoodwinked” all these years?

    If anything is happening to my psyche this election cycle it is that “I am becoming a racist”.

    And to think that the three adults interviewed didn’t even know that Palin WASN’T his VP mate. That is astonishing!

    • tek

      If Obama gets elected white will see racism like you wouldn’t believe. Black racism toward whites.

      • Ferd McBerfle

        Rap in every elevator?

        • d2d

          having to listen to rap all day long would be the death of me! geesh, and they call that music.

          and i’ve always experienced black on white racism. all barry’s campaign is doing is showing how damned prevalent it has always been.

          • wry

            Guys, this is a slippery slope.
            Black people are not the bad guys here. Axelrod is white as Hitler, and Barney Frank and Harry Reid and Howard Dean are white too.

            • wry

              REALLY white, I might add.

            • latina

              Yes and they are taking advantage of the white and black ignorant people with a chameleon for a leader that owns all the colors within.

  • Ann Arbor for Palin

    Does our democracy have a future?

    • Ferd McBerfle

      Not if these sorts of dolts are running the country. They are clueless little snips.

    gotta love those bamadroids. like all the college kids who went to his events because he always had the best rock bands openning.

    • Benjamin

      Obama’s gonna legalize marijuana too, dontcha know?

      • NewHampster

        now that I may agree with

        • Benjamin

          But alas, he would probably legalize his “blow” first.

  • tarma

    Those interviews demonstrate the powerful impact of Obama’s appropriation and manipulation of racial politics. From early on, he adopted W’s strategy of “if you’re not with us, you’re against us” (i.e., a terrorist) with only slight modification: “if you’re not with me, you’re a racist”. It’s no surprise that his positions are completely irrelevant- and a mystery- to many of his “supporters”. Like Bush, the great unifier, Obama the great uniter, has employed stereotyping and generalizations about race, class, gender, religion, etc., as tactics to compartmentalize, divide and, ultimately, conquer.

    • AnninCA

      OH PLEASE…..LIGHTEN UP!

      Anyone who thinks Palin is his VP is clearly not a voter.

      This is a comedy routine, folks.

      Not a political statement.

      • Ferd McBerfle

        Not so fast, Ann. I’ve met people who have more intelligence than the average coal bucket make the same sorts of statements, from both the right and the left. These people are out there and they are dangerous. Never underestimate the power of stupid people in large groups.

  • LookingForwardTo2012

    OMG, ignorance is truly frightening. The inmates are trying to take over the asylum!!

    However, Howard Stern was wrong about the stem cell research part…even it it was a spoof and flipped candidates positions. This is from John McCain’s website:

    As president, John McCain will strongly support funding for promising research programs, including amniotic fluid and adult stem cell research and other types of scientific study that do not involve the use of human embryos.

    • msindy

      No, they’d rather just throw the embryos away. If he is anti-stem cell research he needs to be anti-fertility treatments, too – or else he’s a hypocrite. But no politician would say he’s against fertility treatments because he’d lose the kids and SUV and McMansion soccer mom and dad vote.

      Hypocrisy.

      And I’m 100% against Obama, but the Republicans are as messed up as the Dems. They KNOW most of the country, including much of their own party, is pro-embryonic stem cell research (Nancy Reagan, anyone?) and pro-choice (Barabara Bush, anyone?)

      It’s all about pandering to the looney 5% at both extremes.

      • msindy

        Saying one is for stem cell research but not embryonic stem cell research is bogus, as McCain knows. But it’s all about spin. And throwing away embryos rather than using them to save lives is an outrage. McCain is no maverick.

        And Palin is misrepresenting Roe v. Wade at rallies recently, firing up the extreme religious fundamentalists, who would have women in burkhas if they could. As Barry Goldwater said: “”I believe a woman has a right to an abortion. That’s a decision that’s up to the pregnant woman, not up to the pope or some do-gooders or the Religious Right… There is no place in this country for practicing religion in politics.”

        There’s no such thing as conservatives anymore, nor liberals, as far as a party to represent them goes

        And Obama is not only a disingenuous misogynistic creep, he’s a frighteningly inexperienced creep. He’s not a liberal.

        Obama is nothing at all, he’s one thing one day and another thing the next, whatever is good for his career at any given moment.

        What a joke this all is. Most Americans feel a certain way but nobody represents them. Instead there is this big game going on. We are schmucks to align ourselves with one party or another, since neither represents us.

        • andySF

          In this case, at least McCain represent a little of both side. Obama will just represent himself.

          With the Clintons forced out, They left me only one choice, McCain.

          Our founding fathers thought differently…
          “It is impossible to rightly govern a nation without God and the Bible”… George Washington
          “Our Constitution was made only for a moral and religious people. It is wholly inadequate to the government of any other.”… John Adams
          “The Bible is the rock on which this Republic rests.” …. Andrew Jackson
          “I tremble for my country when I reflect that God is just, and that His justice cannot sleep forever.”…. Thomas Jefferson
          Our laws are all based on morality.. our founding fathers used Christian principles to format the laws of the land. You must admit that all laws are based on someone’s moral/or religious standards.

    This reminds me of the question “What do you think of UFOs?” and the answer: “I’m against them.”

    Is Obama right to take advice from Hugo Chavez?

    If Obama picked Tony Rezco to fix the financial problems, could he do it?

    Should Obama have Joseph Biden investigated for his criminal activity?

    By the way McCain does support stem cell research. He’s been talking about that with Sarah on the campaign trail – specifically as relates to children with Autism and finding a cure.

    • Shiloh

      McCain does not support the use of embryonic stem cells and it was Stern’s mistake not to have differentiated. Not that it would have mattered to those he was interviewing!

    • msindy

      Good luck with that, without using embryonic stem cell research. Religious fundies would rather destroy the embryos in fertility centers than use them for curing disease.

      Adult stem cells kill.

      They’re mass murderers, in fact. In only five years between 2000 and 2004, adult stem cells used in some 25,000 bone marrow transplant treatments have been complicit in at least 3,629 American deaths, 624 of which involved children under the age of 18, according to the National Center for Health Statistics. If the trend continues, adult stem cells will claim their 5,000th victim since 2000 this year…

      Stem cells of both varieties show enormous promise for seemingly miraculous medical treatments, from reversing the effects of Alzheimer’s disease to repairing a damaged spinal cord. But, eager to keep embryonic stem cells out of the labs, some conservatives insist adult stem cells are so promising that embryonic stem cells need not be considered at all…

      Maybe ignoring the risks of adult stem cells is an honest mistake by adult stem cell boosters. A less charitable explanation is that they knowingly mislead the public about the safety of adult stem cells, glossing over GVHD deaths in their desire to discredit embryonic stem cell research.

      Granted, the risk of GVHD is one a leukemia patient is usually willing to take. Similarly, people like me who are waiting for cures might be willing to take certain risks associated with embryonic stem cell therapies…

      • http://ordinarymom politicalunderstudy

        There have been no “breakthroughs” using embryonic stem cells, yet they are having some success with cord cells. That is where they should focus, since it is panning out.
        One problem is that is quite expensive to bank your baby’s cord blood.

  • wodiej

    OMG….I would have never believed this if I hadn’t heard it with my own ears. You’ve got to be kidding me?? So if they are agreeing w the policies of McCain and think Obama picked Sarah Palin as his VP, they obviously are voting for Obama becuase he is BLACK. Cripes, how much plainer can it be?? When 95% of the black voters are supporting him and do not even know what his fucking policies are or who his VP is, there is no other reasonable explanation. And that my friends is what I call RACISM.

  • Zee

    omg, thank you susanunpc for this post.

    I did the very same thing in Boston with the “creative class.”

    I read a political poem pretending that Hillary was holding all the awful stances Obama is. I had the crowd hooting. Then I went one further than Howard Stern.

    I asked, and what if this were Obama’s stand? And set them straight. Dead silence.

    I worried that I was gonna be slaughtered but people came up afterwards and thanked me. And were depressed that this wasn’t common knowledge during the primary.

    When dealing with Hopium tokin’ cult members, this is the ONLY tactic that works. No one will hear you otherwise.

    By The Fault has a piece up titled, “Congratulations to President 0bama!” It basically says that barky won the presidency today in his speech.

    Didn’t read much of it because it made me too nauseous. I do know that it said something about “The cult of Clinton” will say that 0bama stole the plan from Hillary – “but so what?”

    I’m not giving up, but I am throwing up now…

    • fif

      “He stole the plan from Hillary?” Another preemptive attack to hide the obvious? Let’s see, so far he’s stolen her plans for:

      the economy
      alternative energies (“Will create 5 million new jobs” He doesn’t even bother to change her words)
      health care
      infrastructure
      fighting for the working class

      Yea, he’s a real innovative guy. The rest of the speech was written by his 300+ advisors. He’s just a Teleprompter Preacher.

    Couldn’t do it. Tried to drag out old arguments why she didn’t like Hillary. Since Hillary is no longer running I asked her again to give me a reason–she told me he would bring CHANGE.

    • POdVet

      “there are thousands of Dems and Rs who vote their party and know nothing about the issues.”

      You are correct, and that’s just counting our elected officials! You’d need to add several zeros to the end to count the public as there are millions who have no clue what they are doing when they enter the voting booth.How many can honestly say the bother to read about the issue in it’s full text before deciding how they should vote. Very very few, at best even the majority of “enlightened voters” read the synopsis given about the issues in their local newspaper. That would be fine and dandy, except what happens when as now, the media has decided to place their candidate about what is right. The MSM doesn’t give a damn about America or the average citizen this election cycle!

      What we really need is to have civics class re-introduced into the public school system. Make it a mandatory course that schools can not drop to save the funding for football or basketball. Maybe just maybe if it was taught in a way to show the kids how important it is to actually read the propositions and positions at stake. Give them the necessary tools to find out the real deal. Then we could begin raising children who won’t feature prominently on Jay Leno’s Jaywalk All Stars! And just imagine, in a few years we may even start having adults who would not have to say…”I am NOT smarter than a fifth grader.”

    It’s ok to be proud but not at any cost. Ignorance is no exuse to vote for someone. I like president Clinton said have been waiting all our lives to see an AA president but not at any cost. Any candidate that uses misogyny to win no matter who they are don’t deserve to be elected president or has been in fraudulent circles(Rezko) or have been hanging with guys that have said kill your parents(Ayers) or has hatred for America(Wright) has no business being president. Do you want change because you hate your country? or do you want to reform it to make it better? Think. Hate of country and revenge=change or Love of country for improvement=reform. simple enough.

    I know this would never happen, but after watching the fiasco this year with the illegal voter registrations, I wish they would make the rule that the only way you can register to vote is to go to your county election office and register there. If people had to make the commitment to register that way, surely they would be sincere about the process and would understand and know what they are doing.

    I realize I’m living in a dream world, but I think that’s the way it should be.

    • wodiej

      I agree. They should throw out every single Acorn registration RIGHT NOW. Announce anyone who used them to go to the county election board. If they want to vote that bad they’ll get their punk ass down there. That would solve the problem right there and this nonsense would stop immediately. But they won’t because it might disenfranchise two people out of 50,000.

        Thanks for the info.

    • C.S.

      Thank you for posting this. I just did a quick check and couldn’t find any country with a flag like the two on either side of the American flag. The closest was Azerbajan but it has a blue, red and green stripe with a circle.

      But I do know that those two flags are not the American flag, not a State flag, and whatever they represent they are the same height as the middle flag which I think is supposed to be the American flag. If so,

      When flags of States, cities, or localities, or pennants of societies are flown on the same halyard with the flag of the United States, the latter should always be at the peak. When the flags are flown from adjacent staffs, the flag of the United States should be hoisted first and lowered last. No such flag or pennant may be placed above the flag of the United States or to the right of the flag of the United States (the viewer’s left). When the flag is half-masted, both flags are half-masted, with the US flag at the mid-point and the other flag below.

      Whatever flag Soertoro/Obama has behind him isn’t legal. And a presidential candidate should know better!

    To JohnQ and all the other little Obotties who are watching this blog-

    - or the ACORN voter fraud connections

    AND if none of those do it…why do you think McCain doesn’t look too worried about now? Surprise!!!! I guess it’s a good thing you didn’t nominate Hillary Clinton because she would have been too smart to let the Republicans pull off yet another October surprise…and it’s not even Oct 15th yet!

      What it shows is that Obama could get up and do a speech telling people he is going to take all their money and they wil be living in thatched huts and no one will pay attention or report it.

      • http://uppitywoman08.wordpress.com Uppity Woman

        No one single Jew I know is voting for Obama. And I don’t know just a few. They aren’t particularly interested in seeing Israel blown up.

          I wish it were true that Jews were not voting for Obama. I have a son going to med school now in Tel Aviv and he told me the other day that Israeli Jews are overwhelmingly against Obama.

          Several members of my family are of the Jewish faith. They are supporting Obama. I have tried my best to convert them to McCain. They think I’m stupid, because I am a McCain/Palin supporter. They are a lot like the people on Stern’s radio show, totally uninformed about “The One.”

    Howard Stern, like most of us, was, and probably still is, a Hillary Supporter. I have a feeling that he thinks those who support Obama are probably idiots, and was just having a little fun with them. I have never cared for Stern, because of the type of radio show he doe. I do have to give him a shout-out for backing Hillary, though.

    Hey, maybe they know something we don’t.

    I heard a guy at Home Depot saying he’d heard a guy down at Clingers’ Guns & Ammo shop talking about the “known fact” that Obama has offered the VP slot to Governor Palin if she’ll promise to stop kicking his butt from East Coast to West and back again.

    And, according to Betty at my aunt’s friend’s sister’s beauty salon, high level Palin staffers who requested anonymity on account of they don’t really exist, the Governor is considering Obama’s offer. And, apparently Joe Biden agrees because he read somewhere that somebody else agreed first.

    • rachel

      didn’t you just start another rumor about McCain being offered the same deal in exchange for the Homeland Security position? I’m not buyin’ it.

  • 30yrdem-not any more

    Really if you will remember back during the campaign, senators and governors could not tell you what Obama had done that qualified him to be president. Obama’s policies change so often who really knows what they are. He is for it – he is against it – he is an on the fence politician that is why he always voted present. Except when it comes to killing babies. He had to get that NARAL approval rating.

    These people would believe Obama if he said the sky is green and the grass is blue. They don’t care, they are voting skin color and Obama is doing all he can to get their vote. Funny how he has done nothing for the black community except use it to get into a higher office then they never hear from him again. That is what he is doing now. Why do you think the dems say educate the idiots on one of their sites.

    Who is ACORN going after? Low income, low educated voters. Why? Because they don’t care about policies, they don’t understand what policies are. Obama is a socialist who is acting like Robin Hood- Take from the rich and give to the poor. What will it cause? Jobs will go away, inflation will go up, They don’t care, he is black that is all they see.

    He is taking advantage of them and they don’t even care. I have seen the videos of the people who have heard all his promises before. Their homes were condemned and Rezko made off with the tax dollars that were to fix them. He (Obama) is a pawn in the socialist party and people don’t care. They will, just give them time. They will see it was all empty words just to get in office, just like he always does.

    • Thinker

      Funny how he has done nothing for the black community except use it to get into a higher office then they never hear from him again. That is what he is doing now.

      - Okay?

      Those Rezko tenants were poor Black people that had their heat cut off in the middle of Chicago winter, those Rezko tenants were poor Black people that lived in substandard housing, and when they complained to Obama’s office, he said he may or may not have heard their complaints. He ignored their complaints!!

      There is NO WAY that John McCain or Hillary Clinton could help their friends get private housing, then turn around and mistreat the poor Blacks living there.

      The press would have a field day with that.

      • AnninCA

        I think that’s the real story, but it’s not about Obama. It’s about corruption in Washington.

        That is why those “earmarks” that John keeps banging on are important.

        The most poignant moment for me was when John said, This is corrupting real people who may have been good.

        I so agree.

        That’s human nature. We MUST address this, or fail.

      • 30yrdem-not any more

        McCain needs to do that ad.

  • Thinker

    I’m not shocked.

    These are typical Obama supporters. All of the Obama supporters I know are like this.

    Low-information, voting based on race, refuse to see any faults in the Dem Party, …and they actually believe that Obama won the primary “fair & square.”

    ugh.

    I stopped trying to have rational conversations with them a long time ago. They see how McCain has an adopted daughter that is for example, darker than a lot of the women in my family, including myself, but they will still swear up and down that McCain is racist.

    Racist men don’t adopt daughters that look like Bridget McCain. When I first saw her, I had to do a double-take because I thought she was Black.

    I know a racist when I see one, and John McCain is not a racist.

    • barry bums a ciggie

      As a mom, I can see how protective Cindy McCain is of Bridgette whenever the family show up at a rally. You can’t fake that kind of love for a child. I have traveled around the world and have seen all kinds of people whom I have embraced as friends not because of their skin color but for their character. When I’m called a racist, I’m not angry. I have a clear conscience because I know who I am. I am amused by those that try to project their worse fear in themselves that they are quick to label me as such. They vote for a black man because they don’t want to be perceived as racist and try to guilt others in doing the same. The people who scream racists are probably the same folks that use the n-word in the privacy of their own homes.

  • 30yrdem-not any more

    If Obama can go after the black vote the way he has in NC, as my daughter tells me, in Georgia as my son tells me and you can read about here.

    How Obama quietly targets blacks

    I wonder if McCain can run ads that appeal to white people and get away with it????

  • http://threewisemen.blogspot.com Xanthippas

    How Obama quietly targets blacks

    You mean by BEING BLACK HIMSELF?

    And McCain does appeal to white people…when he runs ads with a scary black guy in them warning us of his connections to terrorists and other sundry America-haters.

    Seriously, get a clue.

    • motherinKY

      Whites are not supporting McCain by 90% margins, you stupid Obamabot. Get an education.

    • 30yrdem-not any more

      All of Obama’s ads in NC that my daughter has seen are black women and men telling the black people to get out and vote.

    It was a true, “melt-your heart interview,” and nobody in America won’t just love this guy.

  • TomC

    I saw the video about how The Teleprompter Jesus stole the primaries from Hillary. How can she still campaign for him. I know the Clintons support has been tepid at best, and Bill has given some praise to McCain/Palin.
    I am a conservative planning on voting for Palin(McCain is just there) and respect how PUMA’a are putting country before party, but it seems as the Clintons are putting party first.

    • jbjd

      Just curious… Were you aware about the massive caucus fraud before you saw the videos?

  • IndieDogg

    McCain is “racist” for showing Obama, a black man, with domestic terrorists?

    Now, that one’s got me. I’ve tried to get my head around it but I’m not sure how McCain could avoid this. How would you suggest McCain disguise Obama so that people don’t think he’s black?

    Or, do you mean that any ad with anything about Obama in it is, by definition, racist because Obama is black and showing any black person in a negative light, deserved or not, is racist?

    Man, this logic is hurting my brain.

    Maybe because it’s not logical.

    It’s patently absurd.

    Turn it around. I don’t want Bill Ayers running this country either and he’s as white as they come. What does domestic terrorism, along with wealth redistribution and basic dishonesty about one’s self and one’s record have to do with race?

    There are some honest to goodness nuts flying around out there.

    Turn it around again. If Obama was running ads showing McCain with Bill Ayers, even building a bomb in McCain’s basement, would that be racist?

    Swap out the faces, Obama for McCain? Now it’s racist, because Obama’s some percentage black?

    By that definition, anything said about him, true or not, if critical is, by definition, racist.

    Oh, right. That’s what you’ve been saying.

    What a dummy I am. I just didn’t get it.

  • Monet

    I’m dumbfounded after listening to the clip. I’m speechless too.

  • mary C.

    the clip from Howard Stern doesn’t surprise me. I retired from teaching last year and nothing surprises me–and it is destroying our country. Problem is that most students don’t care-they know they will pass anyway. There is so much pressure to pass them on that it is disgraceful (propping up some higher ups resume). Now if you fail a student, it is assumed to be the teacher’s fault. You have to provide an incredible amount of documentation about what you did to remediate the student/ parent, etc..and from what I have heard it is worse at the ‘elite’ schools.

  • Monet

    I’ve recovered my speech. I decided these aren’t people we have to worry about voting for Senator Obama.

    First, they probably have no idea how to register to vote.

    Second, they probably have no idea that the presidential election is in November.

    Third, if they are registered or figure out how to register, they probably have no idea where their polling station is.

    If they overcome those three obstacles and by some miracle show up at the proper polling station on the right day as a registered voter, there’s a good possibility if using an electronic voting machine, they’ll manage to vote for McCain by mistake. If the polling station has chads, they may screw up pushing the chad all the way through. And if they master the chad, they may remember that Governor Palin is Senator Obama’s running mate and push chads for both Senator Obama and Governor Palin.

    My neighbor’s ten year old granddaughter lives with them. Last week she dropped by for hot apple cider and a doughnut. We discussed the election. among other things that ten year olds find interesting. She knows Governor Palin is from Alaska and her husband races snowmobiles. She knows Senator McCain was a prisoner in some war where his arms were broken, tied behind him for hours and that is why he has problems typing. She knows Senator Obama’s father was from Africa, has two little girls and wants to raise taxes. She may be a little confused with all the facts and doesn’t know the issues, but she appears to have more knowledge than some of the adults Stern’s show was finding on the street.

    I have been a Stern fan for years. Howard may SEEM misogynistic but in truth, he’s anything but. He actually has a lot of respect for women – ALL women but he is TRUTHFUL about how many men view women.

    In fact, Stern’s staff helped ME find some domestic violence information for a friend a few years ago and told me to PLEASE CALL BACK if I needed more.

  • tillthen

    Yep, folks, those interviewees could determine the future of our country.

    It was good news for Sarah Palin. Dontcha think?

  • michelle

    May I quote Florida Evans from the TV show “Good Times”: “Damn, damn, damn!” This is the kind of thing makes me embarrassed to be a black person sometimes. It’s sad to say that most black people are only supporting Obama because of his race and a good number of them aren’t smart enough to know even the simplest of facts about him or Biden, let alone McCain or Palin. I’m saying what a lot of you feel you can’t say for fear of sounding racist. On Election Day, every voter should have to answer a simple question chosen at random before entering the polls (e.g., “Who is Barack Obama’s running mate?” or “What state is Sarah Palin from?”). If they don’t know the answer, they won’t be able to vote! I think it’s a brilliant idea that should be made into law.

  • http://www.robdiego.com Rob Diego

  • http://www.CapitalistHippie.com The Capitalist Hippie Complex

    It’s disappointing that people this uneducated are permitted to vote, but there is zero doubt that a survey of John McCain’s constituents would return results just as ridiculous, if not more. I mean, let’s not forget that a frightening percentage of McCain supporters think Obama is an Arab/Muslim.

    • Sara

      As someone who was born and raised in Middle East I know for fact that if the father is Muslim the children are considered Muslims. In fact, if they convert to another religion they will be punished by law and in many countries they are put to death.
      Of course, since BO lives in the USA he can practice any religion, so most people realize that he has been attending a church (that preaches anti US sentiments) for the past twenty years; but it doesn’t change the fact that in the eyes of his paternal family and many Muslims he is a Muslim. Why do you think Ahmadinejad, Gaddafi, Hamas, and many Muslim fundamentalists have endorsed him?

  • Alissa

    I think that’s too funny and yet…very very scarry. Everyone is being told to go out and vote, and yes you defenetly should, but you should also have a brain and accually look at what these candidates are going to bring to the table and not just at what the media is telling you, and a lot of the media is saying Obama = good change and McCain = Bush again

  • RKR

    Stern singled out a group and asked them questions and got dumb answers…but that has nothing to do with their race or polical idealogy. There are dumb, white Republicans, too. So what is the point? There is no IQ test requirement to vote.

  • Charlie

    IT JUST GOES TO SHOW YOU WHY MOST OF OBAMA’S SUPPORTERS ARE IGNORANT.

    Good Lord! Are stupid people not allowed to have opinions anymore? Wake up, people! Stupid people always: vote, pay taxes, drive, fly on planes, go to the grocery store, et cetera.

    What I mean is: STUPID PEOPLE ARE EVERYWHERE!

    Don’t worry stupid people are voting for John McCain, too. In fact, each candidate is receiving(because early voting has started in many states)plenty of votes from stupid people right now. Do you want to bring back the poll tax, the literacy test, the black/white fountains?

    In a DEMOCRACY (actually, the U.S. is a federal republic) all legally qualified citizens have a right to vote if they meet the age and residency requirements for their particular state.

    Do you want to go to a country that many of our Founding Fathers dreamed of: Only the educated, “landowning” white men could vote.”? How many of you out there OWN LAND??

    Thankfully, my family owns the “land” and the “mineral rights” to several “thousand” acres in Texas. If we go the way people want to go now, since Obama arrived, back to when it was “harder” to vote and you had to have “privilege” a lot of you “non-landowners” would be excluded.

That traditionally, the undecideds break for the challenger against the incumbent on the basis of the fact, simply, that the voters already know the incumbent, and it’s a referendum on the incumbent. And if the incumbent is polling, generally, under 50 percent and leading by less than 10, historically, incumbents have lost 7 out of 10 times. ”

    Especially from “polls.”

    Notice how many times uhbama was polling ahead of Hillary and then she won?

    Notice how Hillary won ALL major primaries at the END of the election?

    Notice how Hillary didn’t push to be Vice President, and how uhbama is struggling despite raising 453 million dollars (hm, that’s all legal, right?) I mean really, best ‘poll’ has him up 8-10 points, and that’s after 8 years of the shrub. Struggling is absolutely right.

    Notice how uhbama racebaited his entire way through this sham election?

The message in South Carolina put out by Obama’s campaign, whether the media wanted to ignore it or not, was “Vote for me I am Black.” To then come back and smash Bill Clinton for mentioning Jesse Jackson, that’s audacity; Axelrod made this clear through his surrogates, while he had Obama say that what the Clintons’ said was “unfortunate.”

    JohnQ,

    If you believe the second bunch of lies you are even more clueless than the poor fools the Howard Stern show interviewed.

    Jon Q,

    so it is NOT out of ignorance that you support Sen Obama?

    So IF Sen Obama wins and becomes president and destroys this country as we anticipate based upon our research of his past legislative record, his associations, his past actions…

    Well then if this occurs…I would love to be there when you turn around to your kids and say

    “OOOps sorry I voted & supported Sen Obama you guys…I didn’t know…there was a media blackout”.

    It’s frightening how little you question Sen Obama’s legislative record, associations, past actions. It appears that you have no doubts whatsoever. Bully for you.

    One last thing- Are you a US citizen and do you care about our country?

    Read this and TRY…TRY…to explain some of Sen Obama’s legislative decisions/actions and inactions. Thanks and…have a nice day!

    Well, McCain may lose. As he may win. Every contest must have a winning side and a losing side. But generally in America (except possibly on the lunatic fringes. LOL you being the case in point) we don’t entertain the idea that the losing side represents nothing less then the radical fringe, no better then the daily kooks.

    You see it’s just and election and no matter who wins or loses, the end of the world still won’t come around for another few billion years.

    Nice come=back, child. You are a no-information voter who follows the lead cow. I hear your bot of the day calling “moo” so you best get going, bot.

    Ok Pee wee

  • Andrew

    Don’t trivialize this situation.

  • McHope

    I love how he voted for Cheney’s Energy Bill.
    And how he lines his pockets with Fannie and Freddie money while screaming from the mountain tops about lobbyists.
    And how he’s on video saying he’s voted for Bush’s bills for most of his time in the senate.

    That’s him… BothWaysBarack.

  • Jon Q’s Angry Mom

    Johnny, are you my my computer again? How many times have I told you to stay off that computer? You’re always up to no good what with going to that crazy woman’s post or those nasty-ass websites. And why are Kelvin and UBM and Debbie down there with you? Are you bothering those folks on No Quarter, again? Your Father has already had to apologize to those good folks twice because of your teenage nonsense. Why don’t you ever date, Jon and why do you hang around with those losers who support Obama? What’s that smell? Are you smoking? Get your nasty goat-smelling backsides up here this minute. Sakes, I never get any peace around here with you little hooligans.

  • WildChild

    Have you ever heard of divided government? Checks and balances maybe? It’s been around for a long time so they might not have taught you about it in America is changing around you class, deep in the heart of BOBOland. That’s not surprising though. BOBO seems to like to turn attention away from the past. Like he has something back there he doesn’t want us to find.

    The MOMENT uhbama failed to stand up and declare Bill and Hillary Clinton were not racist, is the moment he failed to LEAD and garner my respect.

    It was crystallized in that moment for me. You do not taint two strong Democrats with smears, from your OWN FUCKING PARTY and piss all over them.

    You do NOT call half your own party racist, because they disagree with with your choice.

    Here smarty, recognize a PATTERN!?

    2004 – You’re not republican if you don’t agree with me

    2008 – You’re not a democrat if you don’t agree with me

    I was right about bush, I’m right about uhbama!

    Jon – Obama has made many, many promises in his short, but consistent career in campaigning, including reform for education and help for the middle class. Didn’t happen – not once.

    He also said he never trained ACORN staff, til irrefutable proof forced him to update his FightTheSmears site that he was never “hired” to train ACORN staff. Big difference? Not so much.

    He also said he sat in Wright’s church for 20 years, and thought of him like family, yet never heard Wright’s anti-American, anti-white rhetoric. Got a bridge to nowhere to sell you if you believe that one.

    He also said Ayers is just a guy in the neighborhood, til once again, irrefutable proof shows that he’s far more than a guy in the neighborhood – he’s a friend and long time business associate, dispensing millions and millions of dollars towards Ayer’s radical education programs.

    He denied knowing Rezko well – til (of course), irrefutable proof banished that excuse as well.

    He’s flip-flopped on a great number of policies, depending on who his speaking audience is at the moment.

    These things only scratch the surface of his lack of integrity, so I wonder – is it your thinking that none of these things count, and that this time he’ll be truthful with the people and keep his promises?

    If so, I really wonder why you believe he would, when he never – and I mean never – has before?

    Underestimate my intelligence, my power and my desire to win this election at your own peril.

    Oh, I am so scared. What a petulant little man-child. LMAO.

  • notrees

    The other day on ABC Gov Rendell said a one party system would make a better government. Sounds like Rendell may have been a closet socialist.

  • fif

    That’s like the one picture they found of Wright at a White House event getting his picture taken with Bill Clinton, as if that was equal to a 20 year close relationship with Obama. Pathetic rationalizations.

  • WildChild

    I wasn’t. The future of mankind or America for that matter isn’t dependent on this election, or on the next one or on the last one or on any of them. We’re part if something that’s is even bigger than the president of the United States. So everybody needs to relax.

  • WildChild

    well, i guess the republicans are socialists too because they were seeking the permanent republican majority. The American economy is too fucked up right now to entrust it’s solution to one party. That’s why I’m voting McCain. Six years of republican control should have taught us all that one party running everything is a very bad idea.

  • AnninCA

    Well, if it makes you gain perspective, I’ve been a Dem voter for 35 years….straight ticket.

    I think that the anti-Bush sentiment is a hangover from Viet Nam.

    Same “vibe.”

    The country honestly doesn’t want any loss. I think that’s the real deal. Even the left is not really about war, loss, etc. It’s about losing.

    They can’t stand another loss.

    It’s good information for our leaders.
