[spinzjams]

wow. Rob Reynolds must have earned his journalism degree between the sports section and the classifieds.

Rural people are stupid => Rural people are Republicans => Republicans are stupid.

Thanks for the subtlety.

Anyone else find an arab news machine mocking religious people a tad ironic?

[johnu78]

Watch my video response, it's great!

[FizzgigsFluffer]

I would like to urge my fellow sheep Americans to vote for the third party of their choice. Democrats and Republicans are completely corrupt. Am I the only one who sees this? Do Americans still believe that Dems and Reps are different and don't follow the same agenda? Exercize what rights you have left and send a message to Washington that can't be denied. Our Constitution has already been trashed...will you finally open your eyes when we have martial law? Wake up!

[venushalley]

the problem is that you never get enough people to vote for third party and everybody therefore will vote for the lesser evil. I think americans needs the system that is used in european countries - which allows smaller parties to be represented in parlaiment and senate... of course there!'s the danger of having party with some 7% votes to be the major deciding factor, but it is still better than two party system.

peace out.

If you want to persuade people to follow your lead, then do not insult them. "Sheep" is a pejorative just in case you don't realize that. Even if you do not have great trust in the public's collective intellect, the intelligent and effective way to corral them to your view is to first try to make them seem intelligent and informed. That is why evil spinmeisters like Karl Rove are so successful. He too thinks people are dumb at heart. But he knows how to manipulate people:make them think they are

[venushalley]

ah, such a manipulation with our minds! Showing that only poor gun-tottin' religious whackos with bad taste in clothing vote for McCain? That is unfair of AlJazeera.

Okay, I'm lovin' this manipulated report.

[GWOZ0Z0]

No one needs Aljazzera to report this well-known fact. "He's arab" said one recently, remember? And not even God almighty could correct her. So either they're poor and manipulated or filthy rich doing the manipulating.

[FizzgigsFluffer]

I know, I don't know if there is such a thing as unmanipulated media source these days. I watch Russian news as well and it seems above board but who knows? Next I'll be watching Iranian tv...lol...that is if it's been translated:)

I don't think it is fair to portray rural American's as country hicks. These people are the ones that feed America and supply food to other parts of the world. America has had wonderful agricultural success and that doesn't happen without hard work and know how. I admire the the values of rural Americans and the emphasis on family and community.

[oreengineer77]

What is the purpose of this video? Show some local yokel hill billies and state that these are the type of people who vote republican? There's no doubt that the country needs Obama in office - not because of his policies, or who he is, but because he's going to restore more faith in the office than mccain. But before bashing the people out in the breadbaskets of america, it should be noted that if you look at local levels, these people have balanced budgets, unlike the "educated" urbanites.

[HaloedG]

They are out spending their money on guns and Bibles and will either justify any wrongdoing by God or a bullet.

[GringaEnMexico]

These are the people I grew up around, and believe me, it's true that they are (usually) less educated, and easier to win over by showing your opponent as bad (as McCain has done).

Personally, I wish they would take the carraige out. It makes it look as if rural people still ride around in those things, which is not true.

[conduit99]

Get this fucking video off the front page. I dont mind the ACTUAl video itself, but i cant stand the music played at the start

[TechnojunkFactory]

This shows part of the "moron factor" among the American voters. The Republicans always seem to do well exploiting this segment of the American voters.

[VitruvianRex01]

Spoken like a Liberal.

Government knows better than what some bumpkin thinks.

If they're such morons, the Liberals should have no problem manipulating them as well, no?

[tojew]

Obama 08, baby!!!!

[aquafishsoup]

haha john mccain the dictator

[ObamasMomWhiteTrash]

Obama's mother was trash.

[blackxavior]

You think Obama's mom is trash you must have at least a doctorate to be better than her. So whats it in?

[thinker900]

I hope that not all country people are this ignorant. Semi-Racist views aside not voting for Barak because of gun control laws is just plain stupid.

[HaloedG]

It's obviously a thinly veiled lie. They are too stupid to think people will fall for and believe their bullshit.

[disintegration13]

those ignorant country bumpkins don't represent the american people. they're losing power and there scared. change is coming. they better hide their guns and hit the church to pray to their corrupt god. HA!

[maharvey907]

Who is this corrupt God? America is so diverse. People of all faiths come to America for religious freedom and many form their own communities in rural areas. America is strong still and will be as long America continues to trust in God and be willing to fight to hold on to freedom and the right to worship as they please. I wish those "country bumpkins" did represent the American people. Guns are essential not only for protection but many are dependent on them for subsistence, wild game.

[opAir01]

malaysia's current government is like usa bush administration

both are going down.

[Xakryn]

Ruuuuubes.... RUUUUUBES..... RUUUUUUUUUUBES!!!!

[uhaegde]

CONSOLIDATION ladies and gentlemen. The large bankers are now buying banks up with their worthless paper. Everything is going to hell by design. The market was imploded by design. Martial Law is here already. The congressmen and women in Washington are traitors. Even solvent banks are being consolidated by the big boys. This is criminality in the making. Its all happening just as the Militia men told us that it would. GIVE ME LIBERTY OR GIVE ME DEATH.

[CitizenWorm]

There are a lot of negative stereotypes here. I don't think you understand those people very well. That was more like a commercial for a romantic comedy than an actual news report. I'd almost guess that was done on a sound stage. Generally I like AlJazeeraEnglish a lot but who ever produced this story needs to spend more time doing actual journalism rather than repeating conventional wisdom which, if you have noticed, has been consistently WRONG in this election.

[brick4sale]

You guys are real snobs, they may be less educated but they are nice people. They are people their vote counts and I hope they vote Obama he won't take away their guns.

[shockboner]

They weren't calling them bad people.

[opAir01]

rural folks r simple but DENSE.

maybe obama should talk more about farm topic with em ... like cows goats chiken farming to win them over ..

[GirlyVoice]

ah yes, these guys deserve an awful president like McCain, too bad about the rest of America

[Ariji86]

US is going down.

[jakob0815]

let's hope so...^^

[IMIMjnfjsk]

Malaysia is going down

[Ariji86]

really? LOL

[Xenda]

When the United States goes hungry there going to eat there bullets for food!

[Dedhedted71]

Country folk might be less educated but they are more in touch with reality. Urban, colledge graduates are more likely to be book smart but live in some fantasy world where REAL people dont exist.

[369gx]

you embarrass yourself

[jankren]

Poor redneck trashes.

[luvmsiahatethegov]

Well, is it their fault that they're narrow-minded? Do they have equal access to knowledge infrastructure like the internet or broadband?

They don't choose to be stuck in their own world, it's just their conditions that cause them to be like that.

[369gx]

true, but even when you do give them access to education most of them choose to block out it out of their minds. See teaching of evolution... Its not simply generational, but deep-rooted and prevalent even among their youths.

[Snuilp]

That's right.. Don't trust politicians! Especially politicians like Mc Cain!

[Ninjai2525]

stupid country fuckers

[IMIMjnfjsk]

i know right

[blackxavior]

You are scum

[blackxavior]

Ah, your German explains a lot.

[blackxavior]

You cant lower yourself as you are already the lowest level of scum. If you where any lower you would be in the negatives.

You are also an idiot as you discuss not having a discussion with me.

So go take your Bild and all your other moronic stereotyping anti American media and shove it up your ignorant ass.

[blackxavior]

You are obviously just a Fag and on a lower level. Good luck with that!

[blackxavior]

I did not address that comment because everyone knows that pussy ass Germans are busy begging Russians, Poles, Turks and Americans not to fuck the Aryan race out of existance. You big batch of pussy's cant even take care of your own women. You would not have a shot at my sister, mom or Female dog.

Du bist ein Warmduscher!

[blackxavior]

Verstehen?

[blackxavior]

Look up the definition of 3rd world retard. That's if you have time from your Turkish boyfriend, bitch.

[blackxavior]

Your bitch mother divorced your dad to suck Vietnamese cock. I'm more Aryan than you are.

[blackxavior]

I love how scum like you presumes to order me around. Guess you Turk boyfriend is going to smack your bitch ass around now. At least you can go to the clinic for free when he gets to rough.

[thbyrnes]

VOTE: NONE OF THE ABOVE!!!
