Shocker: Voters Are Stupid
Dick Polman has a blog post today that is absolutely hilarious and you must read it. Apparently, some dude did a focus group with 12 voters who didn’t follow politics much and wondered why the primary wasn’t over yet. And, of course, they all think Obama is a Muslim, even though his Christian pastor’s comments about how America throws a ton of black people in prison for fun were all over the news a month or so ago. Let’s just quote the best parts:
The comments then explode with people who love to read blogs they hate (for reasons I can’t understand, but whatever) attacking Polman for making fun of people who think Obama is a Muslim. But, uh, this isn’t really surprising. Let’s generalize for a moment: Most people don’t really seem to care much about the truth; they care more about what they want to believe. If you want to believe Barack Obama is a Muslim, then you can probably find evidence that Obama is an evil Muslim who’s going to destroy America — whether it’s in a chain email or a Daniel Pipes column. And if you need any evidence that people are stupid, then there are nearly 8,000 posts on this website that seem to confirm that. And then there’s me, who has written nearly a billion words on this stupidity, sometimes coming off rather stupid myself. In a word: Duh. Equal time for the willfully ignorant [American Debate] |

Dear Fellow Americans,
Our Greatgrand Nation, the United States of America
is facing and will face very critical and substantial
“Challenges” in coming, months, years, and next
decade[s].
It is very critical and very important that we the people of the America get interested, involved, and engaged in choosing and voting for our next President.
The following criteria will guide and help us to a right candidate. The candidate we choose must have following characteristics.
1. A clear and candid ” Vision
and Mission” for our Nations present and future.
2. A ” Strong Character and significant
Integrity”.
3. The sound and sustained “Presidential Temperament” and ” Judgment”.
4. A least “Washington exposure” and “real connectedness with the people and future
generation”.
5. One who “Inspires us up” rather than
“Tears us Down or divides us”.
6. One who is not based on sexism, racism,regionalism,ageism, or any other ism and as well as who attempts to ” bring us together “.
7. A foreign policy of mainly “USA Centric”.
In my professional, political and personal opinion,
the only candidate that meets all the above
characteristics and has shown constant and consistent
coolness, calmness, and connectedness { PRESIDENTIAL
TEMPERAMENT } is Senator Barrack Obama.
As an independent registered voter since 1980. I voted
for Carter, voted for Reagan, voted for First Bush,
and second Bush in 2000 and In the process last
interest in Washington politics and I stopped voting.
Getting disinterested and disgusted in our political
process and stopping voting. That was a very very bad
decision in any circumstance, particularly under
present circumstances.
This time we can not afford to stay on side lines and
let “Washington” stay the same.We can not afford our
Greatgreat Nation to become less than what we are,
what we were and what we can be?
We need to send clear, careful and candid message to
the world and some time 24 hour partisan divisive
media, that We the American people will set the agenda for our future and America and Americans will be back.
These partisan media outlets are trying and will try their best to deprive, decieve,dupe, and derail us. let us stay involved, engaged, and express our opinion freely and vote.Our Nation will get it right this time to protect, preserve, and promote our future.
Some of these partisan media and pundits are trying
their best to deny us better future and continue focus our weaknesses and generate bitter future for us and our Greatgrand Nation. Our nations people will see thru. Unfortunately { Our Greatgrand Nations people
are persistently and constantly subjected to this
Psychological Terrorism” without common people’s
knowledge.
The common and regular people do not have time to see
thru and sort thru this psychological terrorism
perpetuated by some of these partisan media outlets.
I find it tragic, unfortunate, and sad [ Probably they do not care about our Greatgrand Nation ]as they claim that they do it in the interest of our Greatgrand Nation.
We the Americans should not and would not to allow
Some these partisan media outlets psychologically
terrorized, traumatized and silence us this time nor
any other time in future.
I am sure that we will get it right this
time and elect Senator Obama our next President.
Let us remember that our Greatgrand is consists of
family, friends,fellowships, faith, funds,foundation,
fun, and future with fairness and freedom and without
fear, favor, or failure .
We can not afford to lose any of above. Let us stand
up, be counted, save, build our Greatgrand Nation for
centuries to come. I am sure our Greatgrand nation and its diverse people. will reclaim, regain and restore global economic, social, moral, and power status of USA.
God Bless our Great grand Nation and its diverse
people.
Our Greatgrand nation needs present and future
stability, security, safety,sustained progress and
restoration of our due status in this perilous Global
World at the all levels.
Yours sincerely,

Greatgrand is my new favorite word.
Dmac, you have a greatgrand blog.
I’ve always called things “great and grand” before — I did not know we were allowed to just combine them into one word. You learn something every day.

What?
I hate America.
Maybe it’s like Orwellian doublespeak. Is greatgrand better or worse than DoublePlusGood?
Shouldn’t dmac be required to call him on the phone and interview him?
