    I hope at least the next four years are as miserable for them as the last eight have been for me.

    The interviewer’s almost as ignorant as the people he’s taping. What kind of a dick asks someone their first and last name, and then sticks the tape on YouTube? That part came across as really threatening.

    Just another asshat with an agenda. I think Obama would reject this kind of bullcrap. This demeans our politics almost as much as that “Hussein” crap.

    ahhh, the lady didn’t have to tell him her name. She’s proud of being the ‘base’, obviously.

    I wounder if that is what it will be like here in Lacrosse tomorrow. To get tickets to the McCain event which is indoors and Obama’s was outside….They ask if you are going to vote for John and only if you say yes will they give you tickets.. Should be fun in and around the shop tomorrow.

    She doesn’t look exactly eager to tell him her first and last name.

    The cameraman is a lifetime dem politico and was convicted for trying to have sex with a 13-yr-old boy. It’s no surprise to me he’s lost the capacity to empathize with others, especially those he disagrees with politically.

    The one guy hit it right on when he said “You’re just trolling for sound bites.” This is exactly the same kind of glib, divisive BS that I’ve been hoping Obama’s landslide victory will sweep away. We don’t need these redneck stereotypes to win anymore.

    That feelgood aura I had from watching the Donna Brazile clip has now been crushed.

    Yeah, that’s the same kind unfair BS. Sure, they’re ignorant rednecks, but you’d better believe that there are some ignorant Obama people too.

    It’s like when reporters go to the ghetto and interview the scariest, most ignorant black guy they can find. It’s cynical and disingenuous, and it’s part of this same divisive culture war crap that keeps us from making progress.

    If you wanna keep feeding the stereotype that this is what liberals think conservatives look like, go for it. In the long run, this type of stuff isn’t helping the progressive cause.
