TRANSCRIPTION
DAVID SHUSTER: [McCain's attacks] have certainly resonated on another level, by stoking fears and calls to violence among his supporters. Just listen to what some [...] in Bethlehem, Pennsylvania had to say on Wednesday when their remarks were captured by the folks at Keystone Progress, as supporters were waiting to get into a McCain-Palin rally.

MCCAIN-PALIN SUPPORTER #1: That guy gets elected, he hangs around with terrorists.

CAMERA OPERATOR: Who's the terrorist?

MCCAIN-PALIN SUPPORTER #1: Obama.

MCCAIN-PALIN SUPPORTER #2: Obama's a terrorist! Don't you know that?

MCCAIN-PALIN SUPPORTER #3: Obama's a Muslim! He's a terrorist himself!

CAMERA OPERATOR: You believe that Senator Obama's a terrorist?

MCCAIN-PALIN SUPPORTER #3: I believe he supports terrorism.

MCCAIN-PALIN SUPPORTER #4: A terrorist.

MCCAIN-PALIN SUPPORTER #5: Screw Obama! Boo!

MCCAIN-PALIN SUPPORTER #6: He is a Muslim.

CAMERA OPERATOR: Is Senator Obama an American too?

MCCAIN-PALIN SUPPORTER #7: I don't know what he is.`

Ignorant hicks! They might as well just say, "Obama's black, I'm racist, I don't want a black president because I'm scared".

Unfortunately, people still can't think for themselves, and continue to be ignorant to reality. They're spewing vitriol out of their mouths and totally unaware of their ignorance. It's not like you can reason with them either. They've already accepted what has been fed to them through the GOP/media. And you thought watching news made you smarter?  It seems like by watching news, these people only reinforces what they already ignorantly believe.
