New documentary reveals how little some Obama voters knew

[hookalakah]

A far more mundane disappointment in charismatic individuals is that they sometimes reveal themselves to have been smooth-tongued empty suits without the capacity to deliver results.

[jmn120176]

I'm not sure whether to laugh or cry. It's clear that stupidity and ignorance run rampant on the left. Unfortunately, stupid people in large numbers elected the biggest disaster ever to hit this country. There really should be intelligence testing as a prerequisite to vote. Colmes didn't survey republicans, did he? At least, he didn't report how stupid THEY were.

[kcjk1991]

LOL. I cant believe he said racist lol. Actually, if you compare Black Republicans with White Democrats, the Republicans are sooo much smarter but that's because they're Republicans :D

[prodigee411]

EVERYBODY WHO COMMENTED HERE, IS IN THE SAME POOL AS THE PEOPLE WHO WERE ON THE VIDEO. YOU'RE ALL IDIOTS, ESPECIALLY THE REPUBLICAN VOTERS.

[nyerndc]

The USA gene pool is doomed! We are going the way of the Congo.

[vapors420]

Why did the interviewers change up all of a sudden...

[vapors420]

Very nice video to alert the ignorant mind...

[Slayerfan84]

The media irresponsible? Bull shit I am tired of you retards attempting to defend Sarah Palin. She's a MORON! The media didn't show me the real Sarah Palin, oh no, after the Vice Presidential debate between Biden and Palin, it was pretty clear who was going to win! Sarah Palin makes Dan Quayle sound like Albert Einstein. You still can't answer that VP Question till somebody answers for you Sarah? LMFAO!!!!!

[FunknGrvn]

@Slayerfan84 Slayer fan huh?...nuff said.

[alizess1]

O.K. Now,lets all vote straight republican;get our country back and talk about this in a relaxed fashion. Not now,while we are trying to educate the un-willing!!! or (give sight to the blind)

[CountArtha]

Yes, that's right; NEITHER party controls Congress.

I'm starting to warm to the idea of a "citizenship test" before voter registration.

[scotplaya]

american voters are dumb. I wouldn't give a rats ass about some leader all the way in washington. "Voters" only vote for the president. I think a Mayor will effect my local community more than any president across the country. Or the local sheriff that refuses to enforce foreclosures.

[uscpathfinder]

John Ziegler is a great American

[ShutupHollywood]

Obama is done. His true colors came out when he bowed to the emperor of Japan. Your not supposed to to that. That shows weakness and apologetic. And Obama believes the USA is a horrible country. This is why I hate Obama with a passion. He is a racist pig.

[RomanThaDroman]

Many, many, many, many American's posses a lack of knowledge. There are Americans who don't know simple things like what the religion of Islam is (Islam, in case anybody's trying to flank me).

My point is, this guy only interviewed Obama voters, and completely missed the fact that most of America's population is of the same caliber as these people. Most people in America watch TV instead of reading from a critical standpoint. They give in to the media's propaganda, and that makes them drones.

[Dpadila77]

I voted for Obama and I'll do it again 2012 I like to piss people off hahahaha it's working!!!!! Hahahahahaahha

[saj19811981]

@Dpadila77 You are quite stupid, let me explain:

You think that voting Obama is going to make us mad? You're just killing your OWN freedoms as well. You're just insulting yourself. Please don't look any more stupid than you already are, it's embarrassing.

[ReligiousZombie]

The correct answer is:

The Republicrats control congress.

[whenis2012]

Calling Palin a loser. Hmmm, right now the whole country is a loser for having a wimp in office who's spending ALL our money. Tell me what great accomplishment he has done in the last 6 months? Ahh, the fear you liberals are feeling right now is priceless! Lovin' it!

[FranklyMisterShankly]

A serving of post-election sour grapes from HANNITY & colmes.

[fallbrookchris]

holy shit obama fucks are stupid, but then again they wouldn't be obama supporters if they knew very much...what a bunch of glib morons

[killerbandit]

You know that you could easily find just as many low information voters on the republican side, so you can get off of your high horse.

[kb1g]

No way! We think, you feel. Republicans are much more aware of constitutional government and civics. Libs act on almost pure emotion and a desire for utopian fairness.

[killerbandit]

Yeah, there are no stupid republican voters..... Keep denying reality it seems to be going real well for republicans right now.

[MWolverine9]

Well if its so easy why hasn't it been done? You sound like an Obama supporter, tell me what he has done so far for this country.

[killerbandit]

Yes, republican voters are the smart voters. Keep believing that.

Obama is working on turning a economic and political train with 30 years of momentum behind it around, it may take a little longer than 6 months. It took the republicans 30 years to get us here.

[MWolverine9]

No, no, no, I asked you what has he DONE for this country not what he says he is going to do. Thats the problem with Obama voters, they are all taken by his great speech making and what he says he will do for the country, not the things he has actually done, because he hasnt done anything.

[gdwag01]

Obama is killing this country.

[killerbandit]

Right, and starting 2 wars that have accomplished nothing but to create more terrorists, empty the treasury, more killed than in the actual attack that caused the war, shredded the constitution with the patriot act among other things.... and Obama is killing the country? How?

[JParnaby2]

Obviously Obama voters dont know anything otherwise they wouldnt have voted a socialist into power

[killerbandit]

Obviously you know nothing about socialism.

[JGator1975]

Obviously you are just another Obamabot who seems to think everything this radical does is Godlike. Nationalizing private businesses is a sure example of socialism. Right now he is a facist by definition b/c he hasnt taken complete ownership of these businesses YET.

[SurpriseSpeedAction]

LOL!!!! Now look how the Democrats are doing!!!!! LOL!!!!! Horrible!

[dumpling8515]

So cute to see the GOP try to wrap its head around the fact that they lost lol

MEDIA BIAS!! lol I don't know whether it's funny or sad...

[designbyej]

sad...

[Questfortruth86]

The truth hurts, doesn't it?

[LibertarianViewer]

losing hurts doesn't it? ;)

[integral]

Would you care to bolster that "truth" with anything resembling a fact?

Didn't think so.

[Questfortruth86]

Facts pertaining to what exactly? The video speaks for itself, the liberal commentators on stations such as NBC,CBS,ABC,FOX commonly misrepresent the positions of certain individuals/political philosophies, and push economically disproven garbage onto the hapless people.

[ccpdsr]

It is not about losing or winning. It is about the direction of the country. If we have uninformed voters then we give the govt more power. Do you disagree that an educated populace leads to an empowered people or is "winning" that important to you.

[LibertarianViewer]

The only "misinformed" voters are those who voted for McCain. Most people understand that, which is why he didn't win.

You guys lost. Just deal with it

[kb1g]

Lost? Great! Another ideolog that only cares about party. What about the constitution? What about liberty?  Instead, we will be told what light bulbs to use, be charged through the nose for energy because of the lie of man made global warming.

Let's all strap windmills and solar panels on our cars and just stay home on calm and cloudy days.

Idiot!

[integral]

A great number of voters, perhaps the majority, are always going to be using limited and sometimes incorrect information when deciding their vote.

Take a look at how many people voted for George W twice. There's an indication of just how gullible and blind the electorate can be.

And consider how many people thought Palin was the hottest thing since bread came sliced. It can get really dumb out there.

[sp1359]

You should have to pass a test before you vote. We now have a President who was elected by total idiots who don't even know the very basics of our government

[Questfortruth86]

But he's a constitutional law professor! RIGHT?! RIGHT!?!?!??!

[WakeUpDreamers77]

sp1359, if that was done..all the hicks that had hard on's for Palin couldn't have voted, hahahaha..... be careful what you wish for!

[sp1359]

I don't care who they are voting for, if they can't pass a simple civics test they should not be voting. Republicans or democrats.

[kb1g]

Exactly! Well put!

Also, i you are a zero contributor to the tax base, and you have no liability if taxes are raised, stay home. Stop voting yourself free stuff at our expense. As you can see, we are starting to say no, and no manor of regulation can make us go out and work for you anymore.

[scarface19832]

You sound like just a regurgitation of Levin and Limbaugh, with maybe a little bit of Hannity thrown in. This is empty rhetoric full of contradictions and nonsense. Just like the book Liberty and Tyranny by Mark Levin. What awful crap that was. Neo-conservatives don't know a thing about liberty, unless it is in reference to spreading "liberty" to an otherwise sovereign nation. I love how smart you think you sound.

[kb1g]

Not at all like all the "specifics" you mentioned. Please, I am genuinely interested in what is a contradiction? Where am I wrong and why? Kinds of speaks to this video. You simply don't know. It's all sound bites.

I beg you, please tell me/us why we should not be concerned?

[kb1g]

Palin actually ran a state, a state currently without a deficit, unlike the whacked out Northeast where I live. She had a higher security clearance than Obama when he was a senator.

Yep, hicks! If freeing people to live their lives as they see it, and adhering to the constitution, loving God, family, and such is being a hick, sign me up.

If Cap In Trade passes, have fun with your energy bills. Have fun when you are 80 with cancer and the government say you had a pretty good life.

Moron!

[Questfortruth86]

Yeah Obama.

[HCorell]

So Obama got elected due to "misrepresentation" of Sarah Palin in the media? Give me a break, even if the media would have been pro-conservative McCain would have gone down.

[Puncture9]

Jesus fucking christ, I thought the liberals were the intelligent ones. Fucking idiots.

[swissdragon15]

so the whole world wasnt well informed?

because the world wanted obama and not mccain...

[tgear77]

Listen to Colmes at the intro to this piece. Zeigler interviewed a Dozen Obama voters. A DOZEN!!! Over 56 million people voted for Obama and he picked a dozen stupid people to represent them. Find the video on youtube about the McCain Strongsville Ohio rally. I'll take a dozen of those people and make a video.

[GSXR1K07Pilot]

Typical fox BULLSHIT. Fuck them.

[murph1329]

You do realize that this documentary wasn't made by fox right? You must be one of those dumb people they interviewed.

Also alan colmes is a democrat.

GSXR1K07Pilot you shouldn't be allowed to vote.

[yogobitch]

Personaly government officals lie. If you think one is telling the truth it just proves he/she is a damn good liar. I like Obama. I hope he will do good for our country. I do believe that we need to go green.

But if you believe everything you hear on the news stations your a sad individual. The media is always trying to scary the people in order for people to stay on thier channel and keep watching.

[HyperSonic9000]

How does this reflect the media? The argument doesn't make sense. It's claiming the media's bias but isn't effectively reflecting it with this poll. Anyone who has been paying attention to the media should know these questions.

You could turn it around and then go on to say that it's because Obama supporters are stupid, but then you just heard John himself say that this isn't the point of his poll. So these people are either payed actors for this man, or simply don't even watch the News 0_o

[hollisbishop]

Dems need uninformed voters. This is no suprise to me.

[nanotech2020]

Obama voters: 10% Millionaire Elitists, 90% brain wahsed idiots weaned on pop-culture media spin.

[testing88534]

someones being a sore loser nanotech2020

[killerbandit]

You know this millionaire elitist you speak of grew up having used foodstamps and just finished paying off his college loans....

[MBlue83]

The video is just highlighting the fact that the media predominantly favored Obama, a proven fact btw. It's not saying the people interviewed were idiots, just that the media has a dangerous power to misinform...Kudos to FOX and when did "clinging to a bible" become bad thing?

[hoboboxerjoe]

@MBlue83 "clinging to a bible" represents an irrational and improvable attatchment to something that, at best, is a picky-choosy of "I accept this part but not this part." It encourage and promotes ignorance, and to shy away from anything scientific that might stomp on the oh-so-worthless safety blanket of blind, worthless, untested, unproven belief.

Unlike many, I do not place blame on anyone . People who are indocternated can be at any time in their lives

[hoboboxerjoe]

@MBlue83, our monetary system, which perpetuates consumption on a finite planet, and the religion and practices the Bible promotes NEVER took into account that we live on a finite planet with finite resources. It's that simple. Nature, like it or not, IS A DICTATORSHiP. You can fall in line, or we can slowly die off. To quote this documentary (Zeitgeist Moving Forward) "this monetary paradigm won't let go until ith as killed the last human being alive." Religion, greed, and money are the...

[hoboboxerjoe]

@MBlue83, biggest killers in the history of mankind combined. There is not a single famine in the past century that was caused due to food shortages. 18,000 children each die starve to death. Going past the blatant plagarism in the Bible iand the Quran is sun worship, it all goes back to primitive human devlopment. We are greedy because at one point it was necessary, we are aggresive because at one point it was necessary. We came up with religion, rough-housing, acting, etc. for entrainment/hope

[hoboboxerjoe]

@MBlue83, extremely fanatical people might say they don't care much because god is coming and blah blah blah. But for them to have kids and say that is just crazy. The truth is, a resource-based society would eliminate over 90% of all social problems. There are more serial killers alive today than any other time in recorded history (unless you count soldiers/plunderes, pretty close) mental illness is on the rise, teen self-mutilation, depression, pregnancy. And same with adults. The stress of..

[hoboboxerjoe]

@MBlue83 climbing a latter just to accumulate more and more and more (which from what I understand is completely against the character of Jesus Christ's teachings, oh the irony!) in a society which will consume every last drop of oil on the planet at the expense and suffering of the poor. Masses freezin to death, starving, without hope. And anyone foolish enough to think it's the fault of those countries and those people needs a reality check. The Bible is a worthless book, it is obsolete

[richsounds]

So where was the "How Bush Got Elected and F'ed up the country" for 8 years video?

[husseinobamaforever]

there are plenty of Bush bashing videos & comments. Just ask Michael Moore.

MBlue83 is right. This only shows how the media influenced voters, not how stupid these people are.

Read the description of the video under "More info" to see the poll results.

[yahoochatter]

Fox news is the fucking scandal. Ask mccain supporters my ass. they are too busy clinging to guns and bibles.

[GZVSI]

If I hear from a Urkel (Obama) voter that I was not informed by voting McCain/Palin, I am going to go heathen!

[husseinobamaforever]

Not voting is bad, but voting without being completely informed is much much worse.

[divinegoddessartemis]

Sarah Palin got the most press because of how absolutely unbelievably stupid she was. It's not her supposed baby that's the retarded one.

[melisalani]

Children.

[silverbullit733]

Ask the same questions of Republican supporters, and you would get nothing but dribbling grunts from the knuckle-dragging apes with their guns and their 'spaghetti monster' religion!

[ccpdsr]

you are an idiot. Nice. The point is not that democrats are stupid. The point is that the media was irresponsible.

[NEPatriot]

Was?! STILL ARE!

[tgear77]

How does this demonstrate that the media is irresponsible? If a high school teacher gives a test on Geometry after weeks of going over it in class and a dozen kids fail the test because they did not bother to pay attention in class nor study at home, is it then the teacher's fault these kids failed? Because those idiots do not know who controls Congress, how is it the media'a fault. If you can show that the media has been printing stories saying the GOP controls Congress now, then there's proof.

[ccpdsr]

Because the media doesn't report news that matters. They follow Britney and Paris. They don't ask hard questions and therefore don't give the answers people need. The country is in trouble because people AND the media are lazy. L

[tgear77]

First off, consider the source here. This was done by John Zeigler, a rightwing zealot who is not a journalist. He edited out all of the people who did answer the questions right and his poll is not accurate. This was all done to promote his work. Check out some of his other videos on the web, especially the one of him almost being arrested at USC. Hannity claiming that he is well-informed is laughable.

[Shnufkin]

@ccpdsr Fox news is the only irresponsible form of American media (apart from right-wing radio hacks) that I can discern. It would be closed down by a media regulator in any sensible democratic country.

[zyxweftr]

@Shnufkin sensible democratic country? one of the most important rights is the right of free speech. that would communist not democratic
