SARAH PALIN BOOK SIGNING - Interviews with Supporters

Produced and edited by Chase Whiteside (interviews) and Erick Stoll (camera).

On November 20, 2009, Sarah Palin visited Columbus, OH as part of her book signing tour for "Going Rogue." When her supporters were asked broad questions about why they thought she should be president, the responses were vague: She's "real." She'll "stick up for America."

CHERRY-PICKING
Re: accusations of cherry picking, which are commonly thrown at interview-based videos: it simply isn't what we did. We interviewed only a few more people than ended up in the video, not hundreds, and what was cut was done for time purposes. The people were selected at random--several volunteered to be interviewed--and we were only there for about 90 mins (it gets dark early and fast in Ohio right now). What didn't make it into the video is footage of people talking generically about taxes/spending, drilling, and abortion--we constructed blocks that represent those issues. While of course the piece was edited to be entertaining, we do not believe it misrepresents the attitudes of the people present at the signing.

Fairness and realness....good qualities in a quitter.

Well as funny as I think these are... it's not always a fair representation of people using street interviews to judge them.

I've been put on the spot like that and just had solid brain farts but get me into a proper debate environment and it's a whole different story.

Though I do agree with you... the one thing that seems to stick out is just a major lack of critical thinking.

The song "American Idiot" suddenly makes sense

[Justin McKinney]

Prime examples of why the U.S. is quickly going into the toilet. When well over half of the country consists of uninformed and willfully ignorant morons like the ones seen in this clip, there's no place to go but down.

Wipe out a bunch of right wing kooks in one shot.

"Cut ALL the spending!" What fucking roads/sewers/hospitals/trash collection/ are you going to use than you fucktard???

[calamagrostis88]

Americans are so poorly educated that you would get the same embarassing responses for many liberals. People are just voting from their heart felt opinions, because their reasoning abilities are atropheid.
