A Glimpse Into The Psyche Of McCain/Palin Supporters

These aren't like other videos, showing one or two isolated GOP idiots yelling vitriolic hate mongering epithets at Obama and his supporters.

Just watch the line of supporters stream in, relentlessly screaming about Obama being a Muslim, a terrorist, a communist...death threats and expletive laced slurs.

Where do these small-minded people live, and why do they flock under the GOP's wing?

I donno... you got any roommates?

You don't see them as they really are when they are winning.

Is this a troll thread? It has to be, because surely one can't believe that 1 party has a monopoly on hateful, racist bigots and function properly in society.

 

[idiotekniQues]

no one party has the monopoly on intolerance - the republican party however, is built on it far more.

i give to you exhibit a: to appeal to their base, they tried to write intolerance into the constitution. when that is your base, we got a problem.

Exhibit A: "Palling around with terrorists."

Probably just the same thing in reverse can be found in a Barack line.

Monopoly, no, dominant share, yes.

Same amount of intolerance... difference is in how you define it.

Democrats don't claim the Green Party as an extremist extension of their platform.

Feel free to provide examples.

Proof please. Nothing short of statistical studies from non profit and non biased groups or scientific peer review studies will be acceptable.

Good God the Republican Party and its supporters need to die an ugly death this election. We should all be disgusted by this. This is what is wrong with America, and what Obama will fight against if he becomes President.

ummm the Republican Party did not exist when the constitution was written.

Also, it was Democrats who passed jim crow and segregation laws in the south and Democrats who added the confederate flag to state flags.

See, the left wing is very tolerant and accepting.

Yea, they should have just called him a liberal, that would have been bad enough.

I liked the guy ranting about how ACORN and Obama have singlehandedly brought on the economic crisis. He also claimed that they "register dead people" and "bus homeless people from state to state."

However, the way I see these people aren't "typical McCain/Palin" supporters but simply "typical humans." They're idiots, they don't want to think, they simply repeat the shit they're fed every day (while also throwing in some of their own home-grown embellishments and exaggerations). It's scary knowing so many people are like this.

I'm sure you could find almost as many instances of Obama/Biden supporters being equally stupid. On the other hand, they have less reason to because they're winning. No need to get combative when you know you're ahead.

As for racism in the Republican vs. Democrat party. Well, the Democratic party used to be the party of racism. It's since shifted around. But really, it's not the party itself, it's the people in it. That's all a party is, right? A collection of people. So in the mid-20th century, when racially prejudiced people started moving from the Democratic party to the Republican party, that caused the Republican party to be the party of racists. But it's not really the party's fault, it's the membership.

Give me a break.

There are FAR more racist and intolerant people in the Republican Party than the Democratic Party. We know what both parties stand for, and we know the history. White southerners made the switch from D to R the second the D's started supporting black civil rights in this country.

True, but the logic is impeccable.

I'm curious about this guys math...

BS = B -> S .'.
OBAMA -> OSAMA

how do you get from B multiplied by S to B becomes S?

Somehow, I suspect this guy is not a real mathematician..

Perhaps the OP should look in the mirror for those he is looking for.

You're channeling a bit of Sarah Palin there.

Major fail. :disgust:

From wiki:

When the Republican Party was created, the two major parties in the United States were the Democratic Party and the Whig Party. in oThe Republican Party was created in 1854 in opposition to the Kansas-Nebraska Act that would have allowed the expansion of slavery into Kansas. The Republican activists denounced the act as proof of the power of the Slave Power?the powerful class of southern slaveholders who were conspiring to control the federal government and to spread slavery nationwide. The name "Republican" gained such favor in 1854 because "republicanism" was the paramount political value the new party meant to uphold. The party founders adopted the name "Republican" to indicate it was the carrier of "republican" beliefs about civic virtue, and opposition to aristocracy and corruption.[1] The name had been in previous use by Jeffersonians, Jacksonians, and nationalists.

Besides opposition to slavery, the new party put forward a progressive vision of modernizing the United States?emphasizing higher education, banking, railroads, industry and cities, while promising free homesteads to farmers. They vigorously argued that free-market labor was superior to slavery and the very foundation of civic virtue and true American values?this is the "Free Soil, Free Labor, Free Men" ideology explored by historian Eric Foner.[2] The Republicans absorbed the previous traditions of its members, most of whom had been Whigs

I bolded the last senatnce in case somebody wants to argue they began earlier as Whigs.

There is no double standard here. The Left does not exhibit hatred like this on any level. Even the wacky leftists are not anything like this. This is RACISM at it's core, and the right has the monopoly on it.
