Yea, I like how it was editted to ensure that the more you watch, the dumber they got. “cap n trade is umm, bad, mmmkay? I think, ummmm, Sarah Palin stands for freedom, mmmkay? I don’t, ummm, really know her policies, mmmmkay?”
I saw something these same people did with some rally in front of the White House. On first watching, yeah, sure, they’re idiots. The interviewer does his best to ask what are really simple questions in a respectful manner and the fact that he doesn’t crack the fuck up at some of the answers is to his credit. It’s really funny.
And it also scares the shit out of me. That these people can’t articulate even a little tiny bit of their own opinion in a coherent manner (without resorting to catchy newsfodder one-liners) goes to show the power of propaganda in giving the rabble the semblance of a political position without any of the substance. Thankfully, the “conservative” movement in the States is so utterly xenophobic and anti-intellectual that it will surely implode under the weight of all that paranoia and ignorance and eat itself towards non-existence.
Of course, I’m sure you’d get similar non-answers from some of the people at Joe Biden’s fictional book signing. Ignorance and lazy thinking crosses party lines all the time.
“What are some of Sarah Palin’s policies?”
“…am I on TV?”
“Yes ma’am you are.”
“Do I look smart?”
“Um…”
For christ sake – this woman has no business being in politics. She became popular for being an idiot during the election. Why do Amuricans want her as president??? Because if she is dumb, it gives the rest of the country to showcase their stupidity.
“Not sure where you’re going with that word, what ISSUES’”
“entreprenooial”
“I’m an American…we don’t have ZARS in America.”
“When you’re right, you don’t have to compromise.”
I could watch this over and over – it’s gold.

There must be a cave, or a fissure in the earth somewhere near by that these people slugged out from.
