[whoo689]

Bradley Byrne... believes in FACTS and requires evidence, not faith

Heathen

[whoo689]

Candidate Byrne believes that pi shouldn't be rounded? Liberal!

Candidate Byrne believes AIDS is caused by HIV, not God's punishment for engaging in sodomy? Sodomite-lover

[whoo689]

Was Bradley Byrne running for the REPUBLICAN nomination or the CHRISTIAN RIGHT nomination?? LOL

[whoo689]

Accepting evolution as real makes you "liberal"?

No, I think it just makes you SANE and not some anti-science child who would rather believe in superstitious nonsense about talking snakes and magic apples and whathaveyou.

[redmercer]

This ad works on people who vote against their own interest.

[DDA1220]

Evolution? What kind of sorcery is this?!

[dadcantfuck]

"TRYIN' to look conservative"

well they've got me convinced

[SeminarioMAE]

Yeah moronic liberal commentators, ignore the hawkish attitude toward taxes.

[MrOnlinePsychology]

Bradly Byrnes - believes the sky is blue? dumb ass lib..... Bradly byrnes - believes that gravity exists?? dumbs ass liberal - Bradly Byrnes - believes the square root of 144 is 12.... dumb ass lib

[Taradoxxi]

I have never been gladder to live in California. Sure, our economy is shit right now, but at least these aren't the sort of people we have running for office.

[xpntrvfggd]

I feel so enlightened.

[cadman2300]

I love these kinds of attack ads. They never make me feel stupid.

[davidjradich]

WOW

[xDroflmao1337]

LOL. You say Liberal like its a BAD thing! =P

[Kefkaownsall]

REally the only thing that says that is important is the taxes.

Cause remember believing in science is a liveral idea.

[amusiathread]

Fucking conservatards.

[WillMio]

Why is Alabama so retarded.

[lifeismasked]

OH SHIT man this GUY believes in EVOLUTION? Whats next people thinking the world is round? The Sun is at the center of the universe? Dinosaur bones are not planted in the ground by god. Fuckin crazy.



[KRAMRENKA]

Holy fucking shit!! Unreal! What is this 1950?

[WillMio]

Liberals are pro-science. Fuck liberals. And fuck science.

[viciousmaniac]

Wow, you dumb hillbillies really think everything in the Bible is true and evolution theory is the devil's work? It's like the hick version of Afghanistan here, what an embarrassment to the US.

[Cuzit69]

I was over at a friend's brother's house fixing a laptop for him when I saw this commercial on TV.

Seriously, fuck Alabama and everyone here. I LIVE HERE. Think of any stereotype for the south that you've heard before; it's most likely true. And I, of course, will always have this stigma attached to me because of my fucking accent.

It's honestly tons of fun being an atheist in this state, never knowing if saying the magic phrase "don't believe in God" will get you killed or something. Crazy.

[TheOblivionfan123]

@Cuzit69 Anyone who judges you because of your accent is as bad as the people who made this ad.

[celshader]

OMG.

Is this what conservative America has de-evolved to.

You can't support free market economics and be rational at the same time? WTF?

[DesdinovaImaginos]

@celshader I have been out of Alabama over a decade. This is one of those nice shocking reminders of what I "left behind." Yes it is possible to support free markets and be rational. This nonsense here reflects what is wrong with the republic party, and needs to change, or no one will get elected who supports free markets, because it is hard to get votes when the primaries are basically a "no I'M the biggest imbecile!" contest.

[TurtleVVisperer]

LOL, I like how the guy's voice sounds like, "derpa derp derp deeerrrrpp!"

[TheSirBoyKing]

Holy shit. I just got dumber by watching that.

[quenwolf]

And this right here is why I fucking hate Alabama.

[Progressive36]

LOL

[CBS8News]

Bradley Byrne says hes a conservative, but the record dont bear that out none, Bradley Byrne says that the earth rotates on an axis, and that havin' a baby with blood relatives is ill advised.

If that don't beat all, he says tiny invisible animals cause disease. Call Bradley Byrne and tell him where he can stick his fancy high school diploma

[Einsteinbomb]

@CBS8News

Bill Maher at his best.

[Maphysto]

@CBS8News Us Rebulicans don't go in much fer book-larnin'.

[averyellis]

Yes, I live in this state. Where the top contenders for the Republican ticket are a Xenophobe (Tim James, the "we speak English" guy), a Zealot (Roy Moore, the "damn the constitution, sneak a 3 ton ten commandments statue in front of the courthouse in the middle of the night"), and this guy.

[averyellis]

@averyellis

I'm not voting for this party, but I am pulling for Byrne outta those 3, 'cause heaven help us if one of the other guys makes it on the ticket. This is Alabama, apparently we only vote Republican ever since those damn Dems gave rights to black folk.

[postalgbv]

the only thing true about the Bible is that part where Jesus rides into Jerusalem on a horse, guns blazing, wearing an American flag bandanna.

[jjosh15]

Bradley Byrne believes that science should be taught in schools. The atheists have finally corrupted this once-great nation.

[CCCAnthony]

......(sigh).

[billthebutcher2]

Real life is sometimes the best parody of all.

[TylerTime955]

I hate living here.

[Slacktoo]

@TylerTime955 feel bad for you

[snipzor]

What? I don't even... oh Alabama. Now I get it, this makes sense.

[JonMitten]

Is this for real?  Who the fuck thinks the Bible is 100% true?!! Anybody who does is an idiot who should not be allowed to vote, and has never read the Bible.

[bucnomore11]

WTF What about being a conservative makes you against evolution? Thats even more retarded then thinking evolution is a huge conspiracy or whatever "those" people who dont believe its legit, refer to it as.

[luckyrace91]

Excuse me. I'm a Christian, and even I fail to see how the personal beliefs of a candidate, factor into how he'll defend our right to life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness. Most of our founding fathers were deists, and yet they gave us all the freedom in the world. You guys in the "Bible Belt" are just flat-out crazy. VOTE LIBERTARIAN.

[Andrew32488]

@luckyrace91

Vote anything, but social conservatism lol.

[CandyCaneKatrina]

He said that the bible is partially true? What a garsh-durn idiot. None of it is true!

[UsocRelamee]

well ahyuck we're just some gosh darn suthern folk tryin'a make a political advertisement

[MrWigglesWorth]

OH NO NOT EVOLUTION!!!

I can't believe we faught a war to keep these retards in the country. Should of just let the dead weight of the south go.

[percival477]

this ad claiming he is a liberal , the liberal thing would be to discredit evolution

[emorris77]

Alolbama.

[RandomWad]

Is this video a joke? Is this real life?

[dkramer5]

Wow.

[ClangerSchmoo]

This is another reason why Louisiana is the best southern state, and quite frankly the only good one.

The intelligent lawmakers in Louisiana told those creationist assholes to get the fuck out.

[Nmal015]

WOW, do political parties actually issue ad's in the states claiming the bible as 100% factual and denying evolution? Jeepers. You guys have some issues to work through.

[straken9k1]

Evolution is a lie. Those liberals that deem themselves 'scientists' are responsible for making up stuff so they can teach abortion, gay marriage, and the worship of satan to our kids in schools.

[CrazedSquirrel]

@straken9k1

lol i trol you

[emorris77]

@straken9k1

Please elaborate on what exactly in evolution is a "lie" and where Satan comes into all of it.

[WalterCwell08]

IM VOTING FOR BRADLEY BYRNE!

[Elipsys]

You've got to love a state where aggressive anti-intellectualism works as the basis for an attack ad.

[GBPackersfan]

2014 - Vote Barkley!!!

[Murple333]

This is why you shouldn't fuck your sister, people. You don't want to make inbred morons like the people behind this ad!

[surrender127]

Wow, i cant believe people STILL think evolution is true.

[Ryfasol]

@surrender127 I can't believe people like you still have the same mindset people did in the Dark Ages, lmao. Idiot.

[imgdumpprep]

the appeal to ignorance in this ad is frightening.

[BloodRedChorizo]

LMFAO. Someone tell me what state this commercial is airing in so I can make a note to never go there.

[Murple333]

@BloodRedChorizo Alabama, yeeehaw!

[FFandMMfan]

Creationists are a joke.

[dekox]

Since Forrest Gump, Alabama republicans think that their best bet is to only hire people with less than 80 of IQ.

[ReluctantZer0]

Liberals are evil herp derp

That will win you any race in the south

[socokid]

This add makes me want to vote for Byrne even more now...

Wow. Are people really this uneducated down there? Evolution being true is controversial? *sigh*

[bluezinc]

Conservative = ignorant of science and the world in general?

Hmm, well, if the shoe fits.

[iamhaterman]

anyone who thinks the bible is true is retarded child molesting idiot

[galagher117]

I have to say... as an Alabamian... I am deeply ashamed of this commercial.

That is all.

[Slacktoo2010]

Stupid fucking creationists..... and the accent doesn't help

[biorobotmachine]

Creationists are useless, delusional kooks

[hellboundmatt]

Brady Bryne thinks 3+3=6...... stupid liberal we all know that isn't true

[kdwormy]

LOL Oh I love The Onion.

OH WAIT, WHAT? FUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU­U

[88cec07]

this is great social satire, who ever came up with it is a genius.

[raedeeohed]

It's a race to the bottom in Alabama.

[psyshock918]

this makes my head hurt

[Cryforequanimity]

I'd vote for this guy after seeing this ad.

[Sakamachi25]

derp hyuck.

[deno0100]

Seriously guys...

[Tonsoszaliron]

WHAT?! He wants to teach SCIENCE in SCIENCE class?!

[Paulpatine]

Nuke Alabama

[pewmanfustudios]

So fucking stupid. The USA is second only to Turkey in our denial of evolution. Creationism is a fairy tale that should not be taught in schools.

[mhirtes12]

Conservatives: modern day cavemen.

[RocketboyX]

@mhirtes12 Fortunately, not all conservatives are religious kooks.

sadly though, the religious kooks took over and control the discussion.

[petenice666]

Jonah was miraculously saved by being swallowed by a large whale specially prepared by God where he spent three days and three nights. TRUE FACT!

[midnoon35]

@petenice666 Jonah was imprisoned in the belly of a whale because he refused to be God's Prophet. That's a fact I would think you libs could get behind.

[petenice666]

@midnoon35 - You assume I'm liberal because I posted a TRUE FACT? Here's are some more - a talking snake tempted the world's first woman to eat a magic apple - an angel left golden tablets in the hills of upstate NY - an alien overlord named Xenu sends negative programs into our minds. Take your pick, they're ALL TRUE FACTS.

[PObserver]

Bible? Only *** PARTIALLY *** true?

[ELBEAU]

Just 'cause you consider yourself a christian does not mean you stick your head in the sand. species evolve, it is documented countless times over. you are afraid and want a warm blanket to shelter you from the unknown.

how people see evolution conflicting with religion boggles my mind. What could show MORE proof of intelligent design? god wants you to use that brain sitting on your neck.

[GeeksonSteroids]

The group sponsoring this ad is actually a Democrat group, sponsored primarily by the Alabama Education Association, with some national funding by liberal groups as well.

[GeeksonSteroids]

The deal is that he was running on being a conservative, fundamental christian, family man. Some of his earlier ads mention just how christian he is...and is the reason for this ad.

[KentRigeI]

Twats say what? Seriously, ZOMG! Stop the presses! An educated human being stated that science is the basis of establishing firm knowledge of reality and that a book, parts of which are between 2000 and 3000 years old, scrawled by barely literate Hebrews are not scientifically sound? Lock him up! Keep him away from the children!

Only major league morons with their heads so far up their asses they can see their stomach contents could think that this reflects poorly on a person's character.

[Mostdef]

aww shucks we gone have to vote him out

[ruffdeezy]

The GOP is shameful.

I guess they believe in Santa Claus and the Tooth Fairy as well.

[RageHole]

We are living in the year Two Thousand and Ten AD. Can you believe we are still dealing with this?

[nync888]

seriously, they would rather believe in a fat man with a beard and a white gown, sitting above the clouds putting everyone and everything together on this world like some geek with a modeling hobby.

its evolution dipshits, it was happening billions of years ago, its happening today, right under your noses. literally. there are a record number of jaw deformities being reported, they say the human skull of today will look nothing like the human skull 300 years from now, explain that cunt faces.

[JohnWFern]

It's a sad day when a man is attacked for believing in science.

[Bain1998]

Har har har. He believes in science and evolution! Har har har! Because believing that a man named Adam was formed from dust by an invisible sky God, and a woman named Eve was formed from one of his ribs makes soooooo much more sense.

[Bain1998]

Wow. Whats next? Bashing someone because they say the world is round? How backwards can you get. Bashing because you say the Bible is partially true!? You mean this guy doesnt believe in talking snakes and men coming back from the dead! Shocker! How DARE he! Come on middle America. What year are you living in? Fucking hell. Do us all a favor and take a science class or two.

[razieldumas]

Alabama. An embarrassment to the rational world since 1819.

[MrMusicFlood]

LOL! I'm not even surprised that the GOP is still wracking their brains on evolution while the educated adults tackle real issues.

[TheRamenAvenger]

Oh mah god EVOLUTIONS?!?! THATS CRAZIE TALKS!!!

[KayEnDub]

This is so blatantly retarded, I honestly feel dumber having watched it.

[tristanmayfield]

Are they retarded? The AUDACITY of this man to support SCIENCE and RATIONAL THOUGHT! Screw everyone who does not believe every single word of the Christian Bible!

[tmo7759]

Alabama . . . I thought we kicked them out of union for being a third world nation? Wait . . . that gives third world nations like Somalia a 'bad name' . Sorry Somalia!

[SourceCode2006]

This is retarded. Are the conservatives really against evolution and they think the bible is 100% factual? The stupidity never ends!

[xAxQuickstrike]

@SourceCode2006 erm no not all conservatives are like that....Just the far far right. I'm conservative and I know that the bible is just a bunch of stories made to give people hope about life and such. And yes I believe in evolution.

[SourceCode2006]

@xAxQuickstrike You need to spread the word to your brethren. Being against evolution in 2010 and denying science when using a computer is just stupid.

There is no suck thing as belief in evolution. Just like there is no such thing as the belief in gravity. Gravity exists, evolution exists, and the bible is definitely an early draft of a Marvel comic book - just with slightly less exciting characters.

[xAxQuickstrike]

@SourceCode2006 lmao a noble cause yet....Have you ever had any extended conversations with far right people? I swear they make me look liberal compared to them. They don't want to pull their heads out from under the sand.

[SourceCode2006]

@xAxQuickstrike The majority of my family are far-right evangelical/fundamentalists. They are 10 ways of crazy. They make a regular republican look like Che Guevara and think that the actual liberals are more like Satan and Hitler. None of it makes sense at all.

I can only think that the bible and white wing echo chambers have rotter their brains to filth. I had a very high chance of going down the same route. Luckily my parents got divorced and my mom (free thinker) raised me.

[bayushizero]

@SourceCode2006 This looks like a strawman attack to discredit conservatives, to be honest.

Most of us are NOT this dumb.

[SourceCode2006]

@bayushizero Bayushizero - look who created the video:

True Republican PAC - P.O. Box 480995, Linden Alabama, 36748

[bayushizero]

@SourceCode2006 Doesn't mean they aren't a strawman.

It isn't like the Left doesn't have enough stolen cash to fund such a venture. Unaccountable Bailouts spending money on "jobs" in districts that don't exist, maybe?

[bayushizero]

@quaxk Tribe? What are you talking about?

I'm not even a Christian, but I am a fiscal conservative. It'd be nice to pick up some real conservatives instead of the bible thumping types, I agree. As for the commercial, it just reeks of strawman. People just aren't THAT stupid so as to air a commercial like that.

[emorris77]

@bayushizero

They are in Alabama.

[misterobvious]

This is an SNL skit, or a video from the Onion, right?

..

Truly stunning if this is real. Speaks volumes about the backwards stupidity of Alabama if denying evolution in the year 2010 is considered a positive thing!

..

I mean the guy's slogan may as well be..

"I'm more dummer and unedumacated than that other guy!"

[matthewm2001]

It's a sad day when it is a BAD thing to believe in science.

[yzScott]

Wow. I guess someone is suggesting that evolution isn't the best explanation for the diversity of life on this planet. If you think Genesis is literally true, you've got no business leading anyone.

[TheScienceFoundation]

Also, for the record, the theory of evolution was never meant to explain the origin of life, only diversity. The study of the origin of life is abiogenesis.

[TheScienceFoundation]

The fact that you're saying 'He supports the teaching of evolution' and 'he doesn't take the bible literally' are reason enough for me to vote FOR Byrne. So, I think I will. You have to keep in mind that not everyone in Alabama is a bible thumping scientific illiterate.
