That woman (who looked a tiny bit like Ellen Degeneres), who didn’t want to talk to the camera, but couldn’t keep herself from in front of it. Scary.
Oh, and “He has the bloodline”. Who doesn’t?
That blonde chick is freakin’ scary!
I have to give the woman points for continuing to get into the frame over and over again…
Maybe not. American ignorance. Wow.
“He has the bloodline.”
Wow.
This video makes me sad.
She’s like an effeminate Ann Coulter, but less articulate.
Possibly their grandparents hurled insults at Jackie Robinson as he was rounding third base…
He still scored.
Vanessa: What’s sad is they’re products of our fine educational institutions.
“What’s sad is they’re products of our fine educational institutions.”
I disagree that this kind of idiocy is a byproduct of the educational system, public or private.
Rather, these fine folks never paid attention in school or willfully ignored it. Otherwise, history (including civics), literature, psychology, science -could never be shoehorned into their jingoistic, groundless belief systems. This crowd is truly proud of their ignorance.
That woman who said she wasn’t familiar with Barack is a liar, you can see it in her face.
She’s like an effeminate Ann Coulter, but less articulate.
FTW.
There’s nothing more frightening than those are ignorant and proud of it.
Wait, where are OW’s right-wing trolls who show up in every other thread within 30 seconds?… They are curiously silent about this. (Okay, there’s nothing curious about it at all… I suppose we can assume they endorse this sort of rampant bigotry, then?)
This makes me sick to my stomach.
Oh man. Now I remember how/who got us into this “pickle.”
Many comedians agree that Ohio is the south of the north. That they’re white trash in big cities, hiding across the Mason Dixon.
I’ve been there. It’s not too far from the truth. Sorry Drew. It’s true. It’s one fucking strange state.
I noted this in an unrelated post above, but Part 2 of the video is out:
http://bloggerinterrupted.com/2008/10/video-mccain-palin-mob-part-2-womans-child-says-of-barack-you-need-gloves-to-touch-him
If the url isn’t a tipoff, a child can clearly be heard saying of Obama, “you need gloves to touch him.”
This is what we’re up against.
This is the Republican Base, classy as ever.
This is why we’re the Good Guys.
It can’t happen here? You wouldn’t think so, would you. But obviously it can.
Stay strong, Good Guys.
“You need gloves to touch him.”
We all knew racists would come out of the wood work. This is part of the process.

We are winning this election.
This is why we’re the Good Guys.
only if the response to these folks isn’t “They’re wrong. We need to make sure we keep them out of power” but rather “They’re wrong. We’ve got to convince them of the rightness of our side.”
Harder, certainly. But avoids the “us vs them” that keeps us from really being the “good guys”.

I’d like to point out that the two (very disturbing) videos making the rounds of the internet today were from Pennsylvania and Ohio. And yet commenters on at least two threads here have equated the behavior with Southerners. Can we please end the racism=Southern trope? I’m not about to argue that there aren’t deep pockets of racism in the South. But there are also deep pockets of racism in Massachusetts (where we lived for 7 years), New York, Idaho, Iowa, California, …
It’s too easy to blame racism on the South. It paints the racist as the “other,” and absolves all you folks in the “good states” of any responsibility for the inherent racism in society.
Call out racism when you see it, no matter where it originates. Don’t weaken your message by pretending that its just those ignorant hillbillies who have somehow snuck up North.
