Are You Kidding Me!?!

Props to Dale for this video clip.

I don't even know what to say about this - seriously just disturbing ignorance on too many levels to count.



And poor John McCain. If his running mate didn't make his campaign look ignorant enough, it seems his supporters will gladly finish that job. (Not that McCain did himself any favors by implying that Arabs aren't decent family men.)

Surely humanity must be better than this. When will people get it - we are all the same....the exact same.

Wow. I think he said it all.
And in very few words. That's pretty much opposite of most politicians... too bad about the outcome.

Lol...nice link, that is pretty bad. But, at least it was ignorance about policies and not ignorance about a people group. I think that is what bothered me most about the other video - this idea that Arabs should be feared or that Arabs and terrorism are linked or that somehow the very character of who Obama is would make him untrustworthy simply based on his (incorrectly identified) ethnicity. I don't care if people don't vote for Obama because of his policies, but it's really sad when people don't vote for him because of his race - especially when it's all wrapped up in ignorance. But, as this new video shows, there are also those who *will* vote for him just because of his race and have no idea about his policies, which can be equally as scary - only difference is that one is fuled by ignorance plus hate and the other is fueled by ignorance plus pride.
