  • Wow, some of these folks are REALLY stupid. The only guy that got it right was the one who said he did not know where Obama stood on economics.

  • I mean, he mispronounced Keynesian (CANES-ee-an). He pronounced it KEN-zee-an. So, although he may have found some people who didn't know what Keynesian meant, he also probably found some people who misheard, like that woman who said "I thought you said Kenyan." It doesn't reflect too well on him that he is criticizing people for not knowing the difference between Kenyan and Keynesian, while he isn't pronouncing Keynesian properly.

  • @majerovitz That could be a contributing factor but that big sign should have been enough.

  • @krustykelvin It's unclear how close the sign was to the people he was talking to, and whether the sign was even there for any of the people he interviewed other than the first woman, because the sign is only shown once, in a brief cutaway, and is only mentioned in the first woman's part. I agree, the people in this video are not particularly brilliant, but they aren't the dumbest people out there.

  • @majerovitz 0:46 He says it correctly here...

  • @masterskyrunner The point is, that if you go to a rally, and get to select through all of your hours of footage, and even then you have to resort to mispronouncing the name in order to get enough people looking foolish to fill a 1 minute 47 second video, then it indicates that the people at that rally were not as dumb as the video's author would like to portray them as.

  • @majerovitz I'm sure those people, if they knew what it was, could tell what Keynesian was as opposed to Kenyan.

    Like the first woman, "You're saying he's Kin-ees-zan, like he's not American?" She could read the sign, and it was spelled nice and big.

    I have heard it pronounced both ways.

  • Man! I wanted to see what that ignorant woman said after she found out Keynesian is an economic term, not a nationality term.

  • Oh, America...

    Keynesian, not Kenyan.

    Is in "John Maynard Keynes".

  • LOL this is every dumb liberal in America :D

  • They live among us....and they VOTE!

  • hahaha!

  • lol "I don't see how it's relevant to his presidency"

    Article II, Section 1, Clause 5 of the Constitution sets the principal qualifications one must meet to be eligible to the office of president. A president must:

    be a natural born citizen of the United States;"

  • @liual90 The Keynesian Macroeconomic Theory has nothing to do with your race or nationality.

    It was a deeply flawed economic ideology developed by John Keynes in the 1930's, where you borrow money and give it to corporations with the hope that you can tax your way out of it, all at the expense of the poor and the middle class.

    Obama's ARRA is Keynesian, for example.

  • @masterskyrunner Anyone who took high school history would know that, buddy. I was pointing out how clearly biased his assertion was...do you not understand that being a citizen is a pre-requisite for presidency?

  • @liual90 Actually, I took high school macroeconomics and AP World History fairly recently (a some years ago, I don't think the curriculum changed) and neither the man Keynes nor the term Keynesian ever came up, neither did Murray Rothbard and Austrian Economics....

  • @masterskyrunner right, because we totally went to the same high school. Idiot.

  • @liual90 You said: "ANYONE who took high school history would know that, buddy."

    Most people have no idea what Keynesian economics is because his high time passed in the 1940's.

  • @masterskyrunner DERP DERP IM LOSING AN ARGUMENT SO I'M GOING TO USE A SEMANTIC ARGUMENT

  • @liual90 lol What was the argument in the first place?

    Basically, you said that anyone who took a high school history course would know what a Keynesian is, to which I replied, not at my old high school, and I haven't met many people that have a knowledge of Keynesian theory.

    Perhaps you could start with a statement stating your argument, instead of saying that I'm arguing semantics for replying to a rhetoric you stated in the first place.

  • @liual90 If it was the citizen prerequisite for the presidential office, then that argument hasn't even began, so I couldn't be losing it, and it won't because I agree: To run for and become President in this country, you need to be a natural born citizen of the United States.

  • @liual90 , so you are saying that you are not anti-semantic? ;-)

  • WoW!! Americans are complete idiots...and these fucking idiots vote & reproduce!

  • we're all keynesians.

  • face palm

  • A CEO of a Corporation does not need to have a birth cert. This so called Gov. is a Corporation so what's the point of arguing if he even has one or not? The Problem is so much deeper!

  • These people really don't care about the country just their party "tribal mentality"

  • Idiots who can't think without mainstream media telling them what to think. Its sad.

  • lmfao this is funny s**t...they have no clue...tell these people not to vote please!

  • lmao

  • ha!

  • "Hopefully on November that people are gonna know that most Americans are not stupid..." - yeah, we all hope that too.

  • hahahha That HITLER BUNNY. xD

  • American woman in red is almost crying, lol.

  • Fucking racists. Fuck white people.

  • @blackpower4eba what is racist about calling him Keynesian?

  • @blackpower4eba Whats racist about this video? Maybe you should pick up an economics textbook.

  • I like how people in the comments still think it's about nationality.

  • How is economic theory not important?

  • this is the stupidity of Obama Supporters

  • @BlueFluidStudios And any other supporters from the US would do any better, actually, let me rephrase that, anybody from the US would do any better! Now I know that is a little harsh, but it is a general view, not meaning everybody! How many of these people looked up the word before they commented!

  • @Inovocre12 true, Personally I would have questioned the interviewer because keynesian doesn't sound like a country. but most of the U.S. would probably get it wrong. 

  • I'm waiting for the fanatic Keynesians to state that "True Keynesian hasn't been implemented in our era." That's not very different from communist fanatics saying, "True Marxist communism hasn't been implemented yet." Yes, these people are more enlightened than us "ignorant" libertarians for not understanding an economic policy -- as it fails throughout history.

  • if only keynesian economics were used the way it was designed to be used, giving the money / help to PEOPLE to restart economy, instead of bailing out corrupted banks and corporations, the fact is, Keynesian's teachings were NEVER used the way it was supposed to be, period.

  • the interviewer is saying "KENSIAN" not "KEENSIAN"

    he is tricking people into over reacting then trying to make them look dumb

    some respect, please?

  • @cheeseit126

    Neither of which sound anything like "Kenyan".

  • @cheeseit126 -_________-

  • @cheeseit126 He did in fact spell it correctly on the sign, they are all just idiots who think they are "informed".

  • @cheeseit126 Lol, it's not pronounced 'Keensian', it's pronounced 'Kane-Z-In'. I'm guessing you didn't take economics in college?

  • @quinnpainter The same can be said for pretty much every single one of these silly bits where someone acting as if they're conducting "man-on-the-street" interviews talks to people, with the results then selectively edited to show what total morons those people (and by implication, the larger population of people with whom they are identified) are. And yeah, they often seem a bit lame when one bears that in mind.....

  • @n10dkf The lopsided majority of people in this country are products of the American educational system...are they all stupid? Were you yourself educated in US public schools or nt? If not: so you know what the logical fallacy of "petitio principii" is, and that you committed it?

  • These uneducated folks are all a product of the failed US public education system, via the US Dept. of Education and National Education Association.

  • Oh my god...I am scared for the future of the US...

  • LMAO!!! Brilliant answers by Brilliant people.

  • I feel like I know where you stand on Prop 19, sir.

  • Derp, derp. Especially all those Keynesian in Keynesia.

  • Obama should be Austrian.

  • Obviously there is a small percentage of people who fell for this, as is true with any video that attempts to prove one political party is stupid. These people were attempting to not look stupid by going along with it, and it makes them look fucking stupid. But it doesn't mean all liberals are stupid, and it certainly does not make this guy the "best troll ever dude".

  • @quinnpainter

    As far as I can see, the video isn't trying to generalize any group as stupid.

    It's definitely making those people look like idiots and rightfully so-- they're out there rallying and they have no idea what the economic theory guiding the last several decades of our government is? Give me a break. They're dumb and I'm glad they were tricked into showing how dumb they are on camera for my entertainment .

  • lol americans

  • oh lawd

  • The look on that guy's face with the sign is priceless. He's like "wtf lady why are you bringing up hawaii?"

  • Never underestimate the power of stupid people in numbers.

  • HAHAHAHA!!! :) I literally laughed out loud.

  • Goddamn, the people in this video are retarded.

  • ocrapa supporters (not just in this video), sure seem to be predomoinantly ignorant! I went to public (government) school and even I continued my education past what is required, in order to make myself better. - - It is sad to see how many people do just the minimum to educate themselves!!!!!!

  • Not Kenyan, for fuck's sake. It's bad enough that liberals don't know economics, but it's even more astounding that they don't know their geography. Fuck.

  • The question should be who controls Obama?

  • What about this rumor going around? An intensive investigation has revealed the identity of the man whose Social Security number (SSN) is being used by President Obama: Jean Paul Ludwig, who was born in France in 1890, immigrated to the United States in 1924, and was assigned SSN 042-68-4425 (Obama's current SSN) on or about March 1977.

  • @GodIsTheCure Don't they reuse SS numbers?

  • ROFLMAO!!! "The American people aren't stupid!". Well, YOU obviously are, lady! HAHAHA

  • All 18 of Obama's supporters disliked this video...

  • The lady is like americans are not idiots.lol and she is contradicting herself.

  • Idiots. . .

  • "You can't keep up to your promises, you know what he put forward, you know by what he promised, you know, but you can see what he did in his first, you know, two years......" WHAT?

  • While the people in the video are stupid, the interviewer mispronounces Keynes name. It sounds like "Kanes", not "Keenes"

  • what morons - lol

  • First of all it's kenyan

  • @MrSuperswag2011 lol i think you missed the joke? keynes/keynesian is a type of economics... its not related to kenya, the video is just intended to show that most people are too stupid to know what keynesian economics are & why theyre destroying the economy!

  • @MrSuperswag2011 it has NOTHING to do with Kenya ! lol - let me guess - the woman in orange is related to you?

  • @MrSuperswag2011 LMAO! Best troll ever dude congrats!

  • To be fair, there are ignorant people on all sides. Please people, if you're going to be politically active; READ A FRIGGIN BOOK!

  • His pop was kenyan anyway, therefore, not natural born. there fore illegitimate. therefore every piece of legislation he's ever signed is void.

    100%.

  • hahahaha....

    So, is Ron Paul not electable because he's Austrian? Now, THAT's confusing!

    0:33- no comment! I am not an American, and even I know that you cannot run for president, if youu weren't born there. Why are there so many people(in all countries and of all colours) who flaunt their devotion to political causes without familiarizing themselves with fundamental issues, laws etc?

  • good stuff haha

    

  • What Morons! I mean registered voters....

  • The law of the conservation of stupidity dictates that for every person with above average intelligence, there must be one that is below average. Unfortunately, the "Below averages" tend to congregate in swarms, like the Occupy Wall Street dimwits.

  • this is exactly why both parties should stop accusing the other one of being filled with stupid people.

    i agree more with liberal views but i definitely believe there are just as many dumbass liberals as there are dumbass conservatives.

    i hate rednecks and hippies equally.

  • @g00dm00sic

    I aggree! However, there is a persistent stereotype that leftists are "educated, smart and cultured" while conservatives are all "stupid, crude and primitve".

    I am a conservative, but I abhore such oversimplifying generalizations. While they might be useful, one should beware of the people who are seduced so easily. Tomorrow, it may turn against him!

  • @elendil77 yeah it's so true. this is why i'm not a big fan of american politics, it's always the parties attacking each other 24/7 on a personal, exaggerated level. i think people should be able to debate their views without becoming enemies. and i just wish there was more compromise than hostility in politics.

  • @g00dm00sic

    @g00dm00sic

    Well, I would have to disaggree on that one. Many ideological positions are irreconcilable, so technically they are "enemies". In a way democracy is a balance of power. However, if there is no civility and order, we might as well solve our differences on the battlefield, it's no more primitive than most of what we can see in political discourse on either side of the Atlantic.

  • @g00dm00sic

    Also, I came here to laugh because the level of indoctrination (voluntary, of course) exhibited by many Obama voters is too ridiculous even in the pitiful state of modern politics that you and I obviously agree on.

  • @g00dm00sic

    they may turn...

  • Oh how the mindset of the great country of america has fallen

  • Speaks for itself.

  • I wish I lived in the US so I could go to all of the rallies with an "Obama is a Keynesian" sign, and an AR-15 on my back like that awesome guy in those healthcare protest videos.

  • @MeanEyedCats I know what you mean. I think its funny that when they showed that video on the news, they were saying how they are racists and carry guns...but the guy with the gun was black lol

  • i was one of them ounce :(, glad i found ron paul

  • 17 people thought he said "Kenyan"

  • Obama voters = dumber than dirt

  • what do you mean,..you people? 

  • Stupid fucking liberals.

  • @hog1775 "Stupid fucking liberals" - that is redundant ;)

  • @hog1775 Troo Amarikan consertative Serah Palen sporters is interigent.

  • @HorrorIllogium What the fuck did you just say? Is that a poor attempt at being funny or are you completely illiterate?

  • It seems only one man knew what does it meant in fact. Americans are so stupid.

  • @8navarra You're HALF right sir, Liberal Americans are stupid. But I guess that was enough to get Obama elected.

  • These people are idiots. Did you guys at least attempt to cleanse them of their ignorance by telling them the definition of Keynesian?

  • That fat lady in the orange is hilarious. She's all up in arms over something she is clueless about.

  • yeah there are also plenty of videos showing how intelligent many OWS people are

  • i wish i knew this woman's name...embarrassing

  • Should we end women's suffrage?

  • I asked this question, as a joke, to my leftist academic colleagues at the university I work at. Know the response? An illiterate hothead "physicist" (in quotations because he's obviously a fraud) had a bonafide temper-tantrum, yelled in my face, got all red in the face and hyperventilating, paced back and forth as he freaked out, calling me a RACIST, for about 10 minutes straight, before he calmed down. I still don't think he knows that Austrian vs Keynes isn't about Nazi's who hate Africans.

  • 15 people are American 

  • US citizens are SOO FUCKING DUMB

  • If you think he's Keynesian, you're racist!!1!1

    This shit is so depressing. It makes me weep for humanity.

  • recently the collage he went to released info saying he had a scholarship only attainable by someone foreign...hmmmmm

  • Well, I don't think Obama speaks Latin, so he must not be from Latin America. :)

  • These pitiful dumbed-down American sheeple have just the president they deserve!

  • People should have to take a test before they can vote.

    Did all these people go to school with Miss Teen USA 2007 of South Carolina.

  • Hilarious, absolutely hilarious....how utterly dumb most Americans really are, they don't have a clue, not a clue.

  • What a pack of dicks

  • These people are brain dead. omg...Hope that $100k college degree is working for ya...

  • "He is an awesome president!" What an idiot.

  • LMFAO these people are stupid

  • On behalf of the rest of the world... THANKS AMERICA!

  • typical Obama voters

  • Oh Obama, quit being so aggregating.

  • Dear Lady in red,

    You are the reason this country is about to be destroyed. The educated electorate begs you to turn off your television and read a book.

    Sincerely,

    Someone who has taken the time to study economics to become an informed citizen

    P.S. The birth certificate is a fake.

  • @thyland726 I barely made it through highschool and know more about economics than these folks, it's pretty funny how stupid some of these folks are. And yes, the BC is an insultingly fake, fake, they didn't even try that hard to fake it.

  • Leftist are stupid turds!

  • WHAT A WACK JOB IN THE ORANGE LOLOLOLOL

  • LMAO what a bunch of fucking idiots ..too much junk food and too much tv ..please note I know not all Americans are all fucking stupid ..just the stupid ones

  • hahah! Idiots!

  • Those who are ill informed derserve to be hurt.

  • This is why we want to exterminate 90% of the population.

  • @OfficiaNewWorldOrder I can't believe I'm actually agreeing with the New World Order... Yes, after seeing this video, I think Eugenics is a good idea.

  • @GarySpatzScam ps im joking with the eugenics thing.. but still, wow.

  • Comment removed

  • @OfficiaNewWorldOrder Hahaha, you horrible people! =p

    Im sorry to say but these guys seem like embaressments to america and its people, READ DAMNIT! READ!

  • @w0rdisbond hehe I'm just a satire troll :P i'm not really NWO 

  • I just noticed something else about this video. Now "despite" these idiots "CONFUSING" the word Keynesian with being Kenyan...

    Keynes - economic theory

    Kenyan - native to the country Kenya

    The fools brought up the argument that "Being Born in Kenya shouldn't matter to his being president." OK.. do they KNOW that it's the law to be a natural born citizen to be president??

    Occupy Wall Street = New World Order

  • @lolanimations I was thinking the exact same thing when the idiotic hippie said it.. It DOES matter!!! But these people have absolutely no standards, everything is relative and everything can be justified so long as it suits their needs.

    So on top of being illiterate and outrageously stupid, they're actually pretty fucking dangerous.. as I'm sure the OWS movement will soon demonstrate.

  • @lolanimations r u stupid? this wasnt part of the occupy wall street protest none of these ppl are protesters LMAO ur a IDIOT

  • @lolanimations i think they know, but they were more trying to point out that people's capacity for critical thinking and observation is wacked. its like the famous, "Ban Dihydrogen Monoxide" thing from a few years ago, all people saw was "Scary sounding chemical compound" and a list of what it can do (like eat through limestone, or cause corrosion of metal), and they signed the petition.

  • @lolanimations It illustrates the fact that Americans, A) don't know key terms or vocabulary, B) can't observe or think critically or objectively, If someone of decent education stopped thinking with their emotions and actually READ the sign, instead of reading the first three letters of Keynesian, and used the wrong context clue. they would of seen what the sign was actually saying.

  • @lolanimations Not that I disagree with your comment, but this is from the Rally to Restore Sanity, not OWS. That said, there are plenty of videos proving how dumb the bulk of OWS people are, so it's not as if that's any better. If anything, it's worse.

  • @lolanimations You have to be a natural born citizen but that does not mean you have to be born in the country, rather it means you have to be a citizen from birth which can happen either by being born on American land or by being born of an American citizen. In Obama's case his mother was an American citizen therefore none of the other stuff matters because that by itself makes him a natural born citizen.

  • @lolanimations Teh NWO by teh illuminatey

  • Ha ha no lady the only stupid here is YOU! I really hope she reads these comments after her "OMG I'm on t.v." moment is gone.

  • According to these morons, Ron Paul went to school in Austria, and Obama is a Keynesian from Kenya.

    I actually had a intelligent response to this video and tried to find out what a Keynesian is online. I am also intelligent enough that I'm going to vote for Ron Paul in 2012!

  • What really gets me about this video is not that they are all too stupid to know what Keynesian means, but how no one asks what it means!! They just pretend to know and then sound stupid......... if you don't know, ask! That is part of the problem with Mainstream Media, people will just blindly believe anything without asking

  • What a Hoot!! Problem is... = These people are obviously lost - lost at sea..lost in space - just plain Fuckin'Lost. = Trouble is... There are literally millions of the UtterlyLost out there!! = Be that as it may... BE ADVISED: WeThePeople are bein' set up yet again in ways we have not even imagined or foreseen! Obama is a Traitor and should be immediately arrested & prosecuted as such, as well as many of his minions. = Obama must go - Before it is too late. = V >
  • I needed a good laugh watching all these idiot morons.

  • DOES ANYONE OUT THERE REMEMBER TOKYO ROSE?

  • The lady in the red sweatshirt was educated at McDonald's. What do you expect?
