This too funny . Unfourtunatly It's true in some cases no matter where you live . I'm in the North Country , and I hear the same stuff . Actually gets worse further up north . I just had this conversation at work last night . Thanks for posting MCC.
BoxMonkey thank you for saying what I was thinking. "Rednecks" live pretty much every where. I keep getting e-mails from family and friends about Obama being a Muslim. This is even after I sent them a reply countering it, with proof. Some people just don't/can't/want to hear the truth.
Me too CM, an old highschool friend is constantly sending me articles about what will happen if Obama is elected president. I just delete them, no talking to people like that. If Prop has taught me anything, it's that you can't change that mindset.
That stuff even goes on out here in the so called liberal state of CA. I've heard it at work from the truck drivers who come in.
One even had a sign on his truck asking if you'd vote for a Muslim for president.
I asked him who the Muslim running for president is. He looked at me like I was stupid and said Obama. I couldn't help myself. I started laughing at his stupidity. I said so his pastor The Reverend Wright is a Muslim? Why haven't they reportd that on all the news channels. Instead of knocking him for damning America.
That driver just looked at me like. Huh?????? I said well yeah with all the grief Obama has rec'd over Wright I'm pretty sure they would have nailed him for being a Muslim.
He just stood there stupid and confused. Scary, guys like that can drive a truck. LOL
You just dont get that its our Mainstream Media that fosters this ignorance. Its all part of our plan to keep America scairt and stoopid.
Look at the local nightly news - a series of 'pop pop pop' stories bout 'this man was shot' - this kid died in a car wreack - this pediphile is missin.
Its story after story calculated to SCAIR ya! And finally ... the WEATHER man comes on and you think 'ahhh ... a story bout sunshine' ... but NOPE! The weather man is liek: "PLEASE STAY INSIDE! THIS WEATHER SYSTEM WILL BRING HEAVY RAINS THAT WILL FLATTEN YOUR HOUSES"!
And liek always .. its an 1/8' of rain over 3 hours.
This is how local news has been reported for 30 years and if anything ... they are workin the FEAR angle even more ... its all bout ratins.
And really, the national news aint really any differnt.
There aint hardly never no edjamacational stuff there. We got our Republican Media Folk workin up the poeple with every Fear Mongerin item we can imagine.
And remember, we Conservatives are the MASTERS of fear mongerin. We righties has used fear to beat back just about every idea that came down the piek.
Just look at how the NATIONAL media edjamacates us about the candidates.
"ITS BEEN REPORTED TODAY THAT BARACK OBAMA DOES NOT WEAR A FLAG PIN FOR EVERY OCCASION."
"Cokie, what do your sources in the Obama camp say bout him not wearin a flag pin?'
"Well Charlie, the Obama spokesman says he would prefer to talk bout his health care plan'.
"There you have it America ... the Obama camp is too elitist to talk to us bout wearin ... ... ... a flag pin'.
"NEXT UP ... What do squirrels REALLY think when they skitter scatter on the road ahead of you?"
