The Daily Show Investigates Results Behind W. Virginia Primary

[GoingUp]

Hilarious

As a WV native, I would like to say that people like this are NOT the norm. Sure there are pockets of rednecks in the backwoods, but anyone in a civilized area is not like this

in any event, wrong forum?

pretty much.

its just obama supporters..and yes even the daily show seems to have an obama bias these days taking the easy shot and acting elitist. only reason to vote against obama is that ur racist😛

perfect attitude of condescension that drives people to vote against obama.

toss it back to p&n. we don't need this garbage here.

:roll:

If I'm black and vote FOR a black, that's not racism.
If I'm white and vote FOR a white, that's not racism.
If I'm black and vote AGAINST a white SOLELY on the basis or their race, that is racism.
If I'm white and vote AGAINST a black SOLELY on the basis or their race, that is racism.

If you don't like Obama, and don't think he's the best pick for President, even though the only other option now is McSame, that's your prerogative. Feel free.
But if you're going to keep spreading lies and FUD based solely on Obama's race, and not his policies, positions, and qualifications, then yes, you are a racist. It ain't rocket science.

"Condescension" and "elitism" in this case IMO if you thinking the rest of us are stupid enough to fall for your bullshit.
And no, I don't care that this is OT. The OP posted a funny, you and loki turned this into P&N.

Ripped straight from the HRC playbook? Got any more buzzwords you want to throw at anyone who doesn't support your candidate?

They may not be the majority, but there are a frightening number of citizens who really are this dense. Their votes still count as much as yours and mine.

Here's the proof.

Obama needs to bring some white face paint when he makes his next trip to W. Virginia.

It's sad that there are people in this country who are so stupid.

Stupid, stupid people.


There we go, the rest has finally finished downloading. Roadrunner Lite - 768kbps - sucks.
Ack, ack! (In Bill the Cat style, not Cathy, dear god.) Politician-speak! It buuurns us! Makes it stop, Preciousss!

And geez, the video player that The Daily Show uses sucks too. Want to scroll anywhere in the video? Go right ahead - and wait. It deletes the buffered video after the seek point if you scroll backwards. And it stops buffering after a short period of inactivity from not watching, a period of inactivity designed to allow it to buffer. Use Youtube, dammit! Damn Viacom.

i found myself shaking my head at the 2nd video. Yea I get that those are cherry-picked interviews and most probably dont represent the norm in WV, but it amazes me that there are still people in this country who are so FUCKING STUPID!

No NORMAL white person is bigoted toward Obama for being black.

If that's the only reason you voted for them (as implied) then how is it not racist? Instead of discriminating against one particular group of people you'd be discriminating against every group that isn't yours. Is that better somehow?

Those 90% would likely be voting for Clinton if Obama wasn't in the race...

It's not like they would just stay at home or vote for McCain, so I don't think you can make the same exact comparison.

Those idiots in those videos wouldn't vote for a black if their life depended on it. Most blacks will vote for whites just as they have in the past -- it's not like we've really had much of a choice to begin with 🙂

lewis farrakhan hasn't exactly been run out of town by the black community.

Uhh I don't see those former KKK members in southern politics being run out of town by the white community. Or Hagee run out of town by the protestant community. What about the one fundie who said that we deserved 9/11 because we tolerate gays? Doesn't he still have a TV show and pull in millions per year? Can we then assume that all protestants think the Catholic church is the great whore and gays caused 9/11?

Edit: Oh, I see you're pointing out that I said "no black person". Well no NORMAL black person is bigoted toward Hillary for being white

ugh, they aren't tolerated to the degree that farrakhan and such are. klan leaders show up somewhere even white people will protest. farrakhan? not so much. as nutty as hagee is, he isn't on the same level as farrakhan if you are honest. hagee wasn't giving awards and unrestrained praise to the grand dragon of the kkk which is the equivalent behavior of obamas paster who gave it to farrakhan. there is a lower standard for black people apparently.

and hagees relationship with mccain is quite different from the one obama has with wright.
* In his book the Audacity of Hope, Barack Obama called Rev. Wright his "spiritual mentor." McCain has not made any such statement of Hagee.
* Obama had his children baptized by Rev. Wright. McCain's kids never knew Hagee when they were small.
* Rev. Wright performed Obama's marriage ceremony. McCain had never even met Hagee until he became the frontrunner for the GOP nomination.
* Obama chose Rev. Wright's church and attended it for 20 years. McCain has never attended Hagee's church.

mccain getting endorsements from hagee is politically sleazy perhaps. obamas personal spiritual relationship with wright for 20+ years and before he thought anyone was watching shows a deeper personal corruption of character. so don't bring up hagee unless you are willing to point the same light on obama and wright.

Those 90% would likely be voting for Clinton if Obama wasn't in the race...

yea but thats racist anyways don't you see? its like saying i'd hire you as a black person if i ran out of white applicants.

The interviews were sort of funny, but the Chris Matthews bit was hilarious.

IT'S A DOUCHE OFF!!!!!

 

[Excelsior]

I knew it before I saw these videos. Every time I heard "blue-collar/working class/uneducated white people" I said to myself "So you mean ignorant, racist, uninformed rednecks".

Listen to these people. They can't even give one good fucking reason for not voting for him. Only one person in the second video gave one which I'll take (experience) even if I don't agree with her...the others just said they "don't agree with it..". What in the fuck...see, this is when democracy fails. When you have people like this that make up the electorate. Christ.

yea cept mccain isn't a rabid racist like farrakhan.

<Insert joke about not getting to the voting booth because the car is on cinder blocks.

course thats like basing your idea of california on jay walking as said.


as for how its being spun...its the obama play book to minimize any hillary victorys😛 what do you expect. instead of doing the media watchdog thing, the daily show has been a been hypocritical these days. acting a bit more like what they would normally bash.

its just people feeding their own convenient prejudice really. not much better than basing your opinion on californians from watching jay lenos jay walking segments. california is full of idiots..obviously.

and really, you want to hear obama voters on the street justifying their vote? their man basically advocates hit and run driving. hit someone, swap seats with your mate so you can claim you weren't driving, and just leave. thats his iraq pull out plan. morally vacuous and stupid as anything said by any redneck. and frankly oddly mirroring their so called objections to bush, do without thinking, consequences be damned.

why don't people like obama? he's running to the left of even hilary. you think thats universally popular? get real. never mind his dubious past with his nut bag church. his leftist credentials are great with the hardcore democratic left, but in a general election that becomes more questionable as an asset. plus look at the condescending elitist attitude of the obama heads in this thread and you'll see how his supporters will drive away the mainstream. label an entire state a trailer park of rednecks? just whos prejudice here?

anyways this shoulda been in p&n from the start, peyton is a known rabid anti hilary obama head trying to cause trouble. troll as moderator. abusing power to post p&n in ot.
go figure. i guess he's demonstrating just what kind of person is attracted to obama.

 

[Wheezer]

this whole bullshit of people not voting for Obama makes them racist is exactly what is going to cause him to lose.

Obama supporters are going to blanket the white race in the country by consistently saying if you don't vote for him you are racist whether it has merit or not.....this is going to drive many people not to vote for him for that reason. Who wants to vote for a guy whose supporters falsely accuse you of something?

Then, when he does lose, the racist card will be thrown about soo much that the chances of a black man winning another election will be shot for a VERY long time.

People should see the writing on the wall now based on all the in fighting in the democratic party......if he does get the nomination and when he does lose the national election watch out...Al Sharpton and Jesse Jackson and their ilk will be out in full force labeling all of white America the didn't vote for Obama as racist......you watch....it's gonna happen.

Not really; Republican fear-mongering is the only thing that 'might' cause him to lose. But with the Republican brand so badly damaged (they are losing Congress seats in HEAVILY Republican areas left and right), I doubt even that will make a difference in the fall.

If Obama actually does lose, it's solely because Americans are terminally stupid enough to want a third Bush term after the successes of the last two.

Where is it implied? Oh, that's right, nowhere! Sweet Jeebus, you're about as bright and open minded as the crackers in those vids.
