It never fails that every day, someone will leave a comment asking us why we spend so much time watching news shows and pointing out Republican framing and other types of media bias.
This is why.
A)I don’t want a man that’s going to use the Koran to be sworn in as President instead of the Bible.”
Q) Where did you get this information that Barack Obama wanted to be sworn in on the Koran?
A) From one of our Church members that’s keeping up with what his comments are and you know he wouldn’t even do the Pledge of Allegiance. He refused.

The Enlightenment is over.
One of the other reasons the U.S. of A. is so effed up… not teaching people to think for themselves creates this kind of idiocy… that and the effed up evangelical cults.
Did they also know Obama’s mom hates freedom?

Just the standard poisoning of children’s minds…business as usual for the psycho “christian” right.
Slack-jawed mountain folk strike again!
a-hyulk!
“A) From one of our Church members that’s keeping up with what his comments are and you know”
This is just another lamb being lead right where the Shepard wants her to go. Another mindless, unthinking drone that does what she is told to do and support who she is told to support. How pathetic.
Too much Jack Daniel’s.
what do you expect? these people are idiots. the idiots will never change. isn’t president bush “grounded in the words” ??? ugh. idiocy!! “it’s not gonna happen til jesus comes back” ….ugh waterboard me PLEASE. it’s a shame cos those brainwashed ladies are actually sweet, nice people if you don’t ask them about religion/politics. they fixed the guy lunch!
So tell me, how do the people in America feel about letting a couple of ignorant stupid biddies run our country?
Since when did all this religion make their lives any better?
When oh when will America wake up and marginalize the mental midgets in our country?
These religious midgets are the ones that opened the gates of hell and let the rivers of blood flow…. all in the name of GOD.
THAT is what I call using the NAME OF GOD IN VAIN…. AS IN VANITY.
Ignorant sequestered inbred ugly hicks.
King of Kings @ 1:
It’s bread and circuses while rome burns…
And as far as the name thing with Obama: how about we childishly look askance at “lilly-white” people (which I am) with Germanic names, and assume they might be NAZIS? Or how about Irish names, as IRA TERRORISTS? Come on, grow the fuck up America.
And you can’t assume religion by a name either…
I’m glad for what you folks do, C&L… thanks.
Oh man, as a native of West Virginia, I hate to see this stuff :) This is what makes us all look bad. I’m quite sure it would be impossible to talk these ladies out of their position. At least they are disappointed in Bush (albeit for some wrong reasons it appears). A hallmark of the right in general, but especially the christian right, is extreme black-and-white thinking and an inability to determine that a position is illogical if it happens to suit them.
LOL please stop reinforcing my prejudices about Americans
I’m pretty sure if you pored through the Bible with a fine-toothed comb, you’d find a reference to the hair-do on that lady in the blue polyester bein’ a sin!
Who’s #1?
Get jiggy with it!
Charles Barkley was right.
Fake Christians.
Casualties of the Right Wing Hate Machine…
If intelligence, compassion, and morality were financial assets, America would be insolvent.
At least religion has one use, at least the way I see it.
It provides a fly paper which draws the moronic, the naive, the cowardly, and the crooked.
Just pick a church and see who claims to be in the congregation.

If we follow God “he will bless this country and not put his wrath on us”. That about sums up the Christian mentality.
And all of their hillbilly prayers won’t out Mike Hickabee in office.
This video is a wonderful testament to the retarding effects of religious belief.
Its not just kids and the stupid. I have a friend who is a physician - he eats up half the junk thrown out by MSM. In his case he wants the lies to be true and doesn’t really care to check into it. In addition, it is hard to keep up with the lies vs. truth even if you try. I think it is important to study all political views carefully.
More Soma, please.
Hillary didn’t divorce her husband and stuck by her husband during his infidelity….how dare she!
She learned it from her Daddy. Who is also her boyfriend.
Sad. You guys do what you do because the majority of people are idiots. Sad but true.
RHM’s blogs
There are people like this everywhere, not just in the south. Also, it is perhaps best to concentrate on the substance of what they are and aren’t saying instead of venting about how inbred and slack-jawed they are. I know it’s funny, but it isn’t effective and may turn you into what you dislike.
Some people have been lead by the nose for so long that they do not know how to critically think to question I mean does studying for the test involve any thinking outside the book? Having your daily schedule mapped out : Johny your going to A,B,C does that make time for unscutured play.
I saw on ( I think it was 60 minutes) where the up and coming generation thinks so highly of themselves but when put in any of the above situations are at a lose what to do maybe with all this parental pushing to be the best we’ve forgotten how to let them be kids.
False witnesses.
Travis @ 9:
Here’s the problem, these folks vote in higher percentages than we do. If I hear one more dolt say he or she will never vote for Hillary or Obama in the general, I’ll friggin’ scream.
OMG! If I were a southerner, I would want to distance myself as far, far away as possible from these inbred morons. Being an American, I want to distance myself as far, far away as possible from these inbred morons. Those “Christians” displayed an amazing level of incredible stupidity. Sigh…
You know, I have friends that are excellent con artists and hustlers. I bet if they looked at this video they would would be licking their chops because these women are easy pick’ns in their minds. I guess the religious pastors or preachers see them in that light as well.
The knuckle-draggers need to stop breeding with their siblings. Anyway, I hope these retards get press by the boatload. The 25% will always be the 25% til they die off. It’s the other 75% that need to be reminded come election day what happens when the mouth-breathers get their man in office.
Life is just easier if you buy into conservative talking points like:
- we’re helping the Iraqis
- we’re fighting the terrists over there so we don’t have to fight them here
- Bush is protecting my freedom in every way he can
- libruls hate freedom
- Mexicans take our jobs
- the economy will be fine, just keep shopping
- God loves and protects me
dm @ 29:
As an ex-Southerner I can tell you, these kind of people are very common indeed. They justify their racism through the Bible. They justify their support for war through the Bible. They justify their ignorance through the Bible. It’s a waste of a life, but what can you do?
You can’t underestimate the stupidity of the American public. Especially those dumb fuckers down south.
sangemon @ 8:
Moore county is dry. Those folks are stone cold sober ignorant and proud of it.
Its just another example of freedom of thought in the US. If you choose to remain ignorant you get what you deserve! Garbage in garbage out.
fascism always promotes a “cult of stupidity” where they don’t know they are stupid, they couldn’t know they were stupid, they DEMAND that others conform to their stupidity, they celebrate their stupidity AND they would fight to the death to retain their stupidity.
straight out of the movie “the matrix”
I know that ‘intelligence’ (and especially its measurement) is a somewhat controversial issue. Based upon life experience though, I think people obviously differ in ‘brain power’. Most people on this board (politically aware liberals mostly) have an above-average intelligence. So, unfortunately, you will always be able to rant on about how dumb most people are. How is this ever to change (barring eugenics)?
Joe O. @ 30:
Your friends are in the GOP??
Stupidity is painful… for me to watch. I had to stop watching just as soon as that poor little brainwashed girl showed up spewing that travesty.
Was it not GW Bush that said God was LEADING HIM and that is why we are in Iraq. When will people like this understand that the merging of religion and government NEVER works. and leads to horrible problems like the middle east. Oh and that young girl what does she know shes just repeating the same crap as the adults. Why can these people think for them selves.
“Ignorance is Strength”
RppPolyp @ 11:
If you look at American history you’ll find that during the WWl germans were persecuted for having too german sounding names some were even killed and for the Irish there was persecution there to when they first showed up So America isn’t the great melting pot
I know that there are people out there like that, the ill-informed, right wing, fundamentalist Christians who seem to get their opinions from those urban legend emails and Faux News.
But to my surprise, it was remarkably difficult to listen to the sheer nonsense coming out of the mouths of these women. It was painful to be a witness to such stupidity. They talk about bringing the country to God but in the same breath they condemn Hillary Clinton because she stayed married to her adulterous husband.
Wow. Just wow.
I used to think statements like “The stupid, it burns” were a joke. No longer.
Blue Lensman @ 32:
Paraphrased from Janeane Garofalo:
“The great thing about being a republican is that you can be an a$$hole and still claim the moral high ground.”
Normally I am more of a gentleman, but…those ignorant ol’ biddies really need to pull their heads out.
Egad, did these people all suck out the mercury out of a thermometer or what? What a lot of babbling dolts. I’m sorry, but I have no use for people like this. Nothing they said made any sense or had any relation to reality that wasn’t filtered through some bible-babble!
The enlightenment never reached the into the sticks. These hillbillies are no different than superstitious medieval peasants.
sangemon @ 8:
Correction that would be Moon Shine
A perfect example of how the Republicans education policy is working just fine.
Blue Lensman @ 38:
I don’t know their political affliliation but it wouldn’t surprise me if they were in the GOP now. :lol: Most of the guys I grew up with that have these con artist skills used them more to get what they wanted or needed them to survive because they were poor. I guess you could call them predators but then again, everyone I know (including myself) is to some degree a predator because we had to be. That is why I said that guys like them would see this Huckabee supporter as easy pickings.
Seth @ 37:
I think the country tried that once (eugenics) that’s where the germans got the idea of a master race
Seth @ 25:
RppPolyp @ 11:
Can’t argue with that at all Seth…I work with someone from Wisconsin…she’s a card carryin, bible-thumpin, creationist, dyed in the wool republican. She pretty much says on a daily basis, the same shit that girl in the video did. I have learned how to tune her BS out.
A….BUNCH…..OF…..FUCKING….RETARDS!!!! Let’s start a militia against the religio-fascist retarded idiots of this country so we can get back to rational sane discussions and move this country forward.
