Nice take from e’er reliable Chucky Pierce,
Orc Cotillion. That’s a keeper.
And there were plenty of Christianists at OC (see, amongst elsewhere, the video above). Jesusland and Dumbfuckistan occupy a lot of the same territory. At this point, t’s all pretty much just the modern Republican party, aka the Not the Party of Lincoln, Well Not Anymore Anyway party.
They are just embarrassingly ignorant.
Add Pierce to the list of people to never, ever make angry. Boy has a wicked mouth on ‘im.
HAHAHA Did that dude say he is not backing Joe Wilson for President while holding a big sign on a long ass pole saying Joe Wilson for President?
Also the woman who says boycott Hollywood and then goes on to say John Wayne was right?
The stupid burns. LOL
This would be really funny, and I have to admit that I did chuckle AT these people and their remarks, but it’s real. Folks really think(?) that way.
Oliver,
Instead of mocking these fine patriots, why aren’t you talking about the ACORN land grants Obama will be giving his Czars!
Fox Astroturf at the Orc Cotillion.
And check out the TV version below, where Beck says, “a lot of people are saying this is Astroturf…” SOP for Republican TV.
This is your brain on Fox news…what a bunch of dim bulbs.
“Beck says, “a lot of people are saying this is Astroturf…”
Indeed- I know it so amazing that people just can’t see how much astroturf this movement is.
HAHAH Becky makes me laugh when he says, “people are saying” no Beckcock it’s more like “people know”.
This whole 9/12 thing started off as a “news” segment on Becky’s Fake News show BASED on his “9 principles, 12 values” that Fake News heavily promoted.
You notice how so many of those wing-nuts had signs saying “Thank you, Glenn Beck” and how much they lovvvve him.
AstroTurf city, baby.
Joan Walsh will probably give them a column
Wow! Fake News took out a full page ad in Washington Post asking, “How did, ABC, CBS, NBC, MSNBC, and CNN miss this story?”

Is Fake News being serious here. A FULL PAGE AD!
Oh how wrong they were. Just another news day for Fake News.
This is who they are.
“They are just embarrassingly ignorant.”
And their kids will keep up the tradition. “Only 23% of Oklahoma grade school students could correctly name the FIRST PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES.”
Teh Stupid™, Teh Wacky™, and Teh Crazy™ on full display.
Does seem like a strong argument for improving our public education system. Now, he may have edited out some substantive responses, but certainly one does get the impression this is a revolt involving a lot of low-information, misinformed voters who have been whipped into a frenzy by Organized Wingnuttia and their travel organized and subsidized by corporate-sponsored FreedomWorks, essentially to make a trial run at stopping progressive legislative policy, in this case health care reform. What’s informative to me is the woman defending Medicare, and polls that show a quarter of Republicans support a public option. If we’re going to have a public debate about the role of government in society, is it too much to hope that it be a) civil, b) factual, and c)not involve irrelevant side issues and flat out lies and distortions? Oh, wait. I think I know the answer already…
mike in dc:
that’s the impression i get as well. it would be wonderful to have debates about policy with better informed people.
and wow:
“Thank God For Glenn Beck” is a terrifying phrase.
“Thank God For Glenn Beck” is a terrifying phrase.
They probably have a life-sized cardboard standup that they kneel down and pray before.
I’m not even kidding

Exactly. And this isn’t exactly new. We’ve seen this in the U.S. and elsewhere historically.
HELP! I happen to live in the south and have a very southern accent.
Please put the word out that not everyone with a strong southern drawl is an ignorant tea-bagging Glen beck loving racist.
Y’all.
I worked hard during the primary canvassing in some of the more neglected parts of my home town, and I’m definitely an Obama supporter and definitely not a racist.
And I have a heavy southern drawl, unfortunately similar to some of the idiot morons in the video.
Sheesh for the love of….
