As featured on Hannity and Colmes. Good for a laugh.
Then a long sigh.
Then a head in the oven.
And here's something similarly frightening.

Right on point ! Most of the Teen's & young voters knew to vote for Barack Obama , thanks to the media & star endorsement, as our first "American Idol" for President . Shame on the media's agenda , they have become fictional journalist's, for whom I have neither trust or respect! I do have faith in Fox news .Posted by: Right Handed | Nov 17, 2008 10:35:46 PM
Unfortunately this is becoming all too common. The fact that many voters today have absolutely no idea how the government is set up let alone who is actually running it and gather all of their information straight from mainstream media is appalling. However, I wish this video would at least attempt to show the other side and how intellectually lacking many republican voters were in this past election as well. The problem is not that many voters have no idea what they are doing, it is that the rest of us are outnumbered by them.Posted by: Mike | Nov 18, 2008 12:44:59 AM
As a young voter and an Independant I think this is a perfect example of voters doing what they are told rather than doing any political homework and finding out what is really going on. If all you know is talking points from tv commercials this is what you get, the clueless and uninformed deciding the fate of a nation. God Bless America, because if he dosen't we are doomed.Posted by: David Burgess | Nov 18, 2008 12:46:07 AM
I totally agree with you! The democrats I know either don't watch news, never watch FOX News or only watch NBC. The democrats I know don't know the implications of electing Obama nor do they want to know. The think they know everything and don't feel the need to be educated on anything. it's maddening!!!!!!Posted by: Marsha | Nov 18, 2008 12:49:36 AM
That video is a fraud theres a girl in the video that wears two different outfits. Republicans Meed to get over it and actually do something that can make this country betterPosted by: TETE | Nov 18, 2008 12:58:50 AM
hanity has been doing this for years...calling pay phones at universities. we have displayed the ig-NOR-ance. we have displayed the HOLLYWOOD. we now must have the destiny of the greatest nation in the history of the earth...by OJ loving clapping seals that will riot and destroy our way of life for a wide screen tv and a x box 360...to go. i will whisper across the soft blowing grass of the graves of the fore fathers..."we are no longer Sparta..."move the white house to LA...get it over with. but as an American family we will respect the commander and chief as America has spoken..the water begins to swirl in the camode we have prepared for our demise. rome took 1000 years to destroy itself...we are on a riged pace to beat that by 800 years.

pssst. hey you....The Election is Over! The people have spoken! These people may not know who the Speaker of the House is, but they do know The democrats usually look out for the poor, and the republicans usually look out for the wealthy! I've heard John McCain use God's name in vain (on FOX!), his camp also said abortion should be left to each state! what happened to standing up for conservative Christian values(why can't they just say: I am pro life..period!). not much difference in the platform of demos and repubs.Posted by: Gus | Nov 18, 2008 1:12:28 AM
The political scheme and atmosphere of the 2008 American Presidential election is turning out to be one of the most if not THE most complicated, diverse and vicious in this great nation's history. Most certainly there has not been an election in recent memory that had the nation so divided in its perception of the current and future direction of the government and its policies here at home and abroad. The Democratic nominee Barrack Obama and the Republican nominee John McCain, could not be farther apart when it comes to their plans for the future of the nation, and in fact, the world. Although for months the polls have had the Obama campaign ahead by anywhere from 2 to 10 points, McCain's campaign seems to be based more on knowledge, honesty, experience and toughness concerning the foremost election issues of physical security, economic stability and the moral reconstruction of the nation. We have been told that national security sits a top the list of issues that face the two candidates and John McCain has no trouble letting the entire nation know that he agrees whole heartily! John McCain believes in a strong military and that maintaining the most capable, best trained, supplied and best led military in the world is part of his agenda. John McCain also recognizes the rising anti-American tide here and abroad in what looks like a return to the cold war era facing Russia and China's new thirst to return to world powers. He believes we need a larger, faster navy and cutting edge high-tech forces to deal with these growing threats to the nation&security. John McCain knows the commitment of our enemies and the brutality of war from firsthand experience and understands the soldiers needs in crisis and in conflict. He sees clearly the growing and demonstrable threat of radical Islamic Ghad facing the nation and the nation's allies. John McCain will not sit unconditionally and negotiate with enemie leaders who are well known and documented to talk compliance and secretly rage war and pursue nuclear weapons technology at the same time. We must elect John McCain as our next president because his wisdom, knowledge and experience concerning national security are no comparison and in complete contrast to Barrack Obama's. For most American citizens who pay attention and truly understand the nation's security issues, John McCain clearly represents the traditional model for an American presidential candidate. His credentials as a patriarch Senator, lawmaker and maverick negotiator are a given and are only outweighed by his contributions and service as a Navy son, soldier, P.O. W., hero, public servant and Presidential advisor. As far as Barrack Obama's view on national security, he says he believes in a strong military but he also believes that the U.S. military is broken, misused and corrupt. He believes that U.S. planes target and bomb innocent civilians during their campaigns in the war against terror. With the rising threats that face the nation and its security, Barrack Obama believes that we need to veer away from our age old World War ll mentality as he calls it, of building a larger navy and more aircraft carriers. While China builds carriers and high tech jet fighters in rapid production in underground shore bunker ship yards undetectable by our satellite cameras. Likewise the Russians have signed and committed to a new initiative to triple the size of their navy and have begun the same furious production rates as the Chinese. With absolutely no military experience, knowledge or training, while the world sits near the brink of World War lll, Barrack Obama spends his time exploring the need for foreign language training and cultural awareness as priorities for our troops modernization and readiness. Barrack Obama believes that "we", America, have perpetuated the war on terror. He believes that our enemies are victims of the Bush war doctrine of zero tolerance. He believes we should pull out of the war while sitting down with rouge leaders of nations that supply arms to the Islamic armies of anarchy, the murderers of women and children and our coalition soldiers, "the sons of liberty." One might ask what Barrack Obama expects the followers of Mohammad to do once we retreat and leave them to reign. Can we count on them to just stop hating the west and planning its demise? Are we to chat and hug our way out of their brutal relentless mission of worldwide dominance and Islamic conversion? We must not elect Barrack Obama as the next president of the United States of America because of his "lack" of wisdom, knowledge and experience concerning national security. For the same American citizens who pay attention to the issues and condition of the Republic, Barrack Obama represents the most untraditional model for an American presidential candidate. His national security credentials are few. His short time in service as a U.S. Senator seriously under weighs his only experience with administrating in his public career as a community organizer in the lo-income housing projects and neighborhoods of Chicago. This could explain the absolute spectrum wide gap between the two candidates economic policies also. John McCains economic policies will prove themselves to be as effective as they are simple. First, McCain intends to maintain the maximum tax rate for Americans at a solid 35 percent, of course that rate is only for millionaires, and is ineffectual for the average American, whose tax rate would also be maintained. In addition, John McCain intends to cut the corporate tax rate from 35 to 25 percent, which is essential in providing businesses with more funds with which to maintain and potentially hire on new employees, creating much needed jobs for the American work force. With McCain at the helm, he will revalue the American dollar, thus decreasing the cost of imported gasoline and stimulating the economy. McCain also has bi-partisan experience in economic stimulation, always putting his legislation where his mouth is. John McCain crossed the partisan isle numerous times during the Clinton administration to pass legislation and make policy that lead to the economic surpluses left to President George W. Bush at the beginning of his administration. Barrack Obamas economic policies on the other hand, while sounding good on paper, really won&t work well when put into practice. Obama as stated that he would give a tax cut to the lower middle class, as he plans to target the $20,000 to $30,000 collective household family incomes. What this means is that the people who are paying the least taxes are receiving the greatest cut, while upper middle class citizens are left paying the same rate. Obama seems to have published no plans regarding corporate taxes, however his plans concerning job creation for the American work force involve the untested theory of putting government funded broadband centers across the nation. As for Obamas partisan or non-partisan behavior, he has remained staunchly on the far left of the liberal spectrum. Barrack Obama seems to have no plans to compromise with his Republican co-workers across the aisle which most Americans think has been the one common factor that has lead to the gridlock that has our nation so harshly divided politically and morally. The state of our union morally is also seen as one of the main issues in this election. On the tender issue of abortion John McCain believes in protecting the sanctity of life. He plans to overturn the flawed decision of Roe v. Wade, the Supreme Court decision essentially legalizing abortion, to give the decision back to the individual states. Once the battle is at the state level McCain plans to find new ways the government can empower and strengthen the Pro-Life movement's influence to help bring the consensus needed to end abortion at the state level. As McCain has freely stated, "At its core, abortion is a human tragedy." McCain also promotes adoption as an option for women struggling with a crisis pregnancy. He plans to make adoption easier as seen in his past bill that permitted tax deductions for adoption expenses, as well as to remove barriers to interracial and inter-ethnic adoptions. John McCain encourages adoption because he knows how rewarding it is for the child and the adopter first hand, in 1993 McCain and his wife adopted a little girl from Mother Teresa's orphanage in Bangladesh. John McCain also believes in preserving the traditional family. His conviction is that the institution of marriage is a union between one man and one woman. He supports the proposed ban on homosexual marriages in California (Proposition 8). He strongly disagrees with the California Supreme Court ruling that ignored the voice of the people of California, who already decided that marriage was between one man and one woman. As president John McCain would nominate judges who understand that the role of the court is to uphold the constitution, not to legislate from the bench in hopes to stop future rulings like the one made in California. Simply put, Obama comes down on the other side of the fence on such issues. Contrary to McCain, Obama is a very firm believer in abortion as seen in his voting record. Obama has previously voted against banning partial birth abortions, he supports the ruling of Roe v. Wade, as a matter of fact he has received a 100% rating from Pro-Choice America's Congressional record on choice based on his voting on abortion matters. Obama has stated that he will make preserving a women's right to choose under Roe v. Wade a priority as president. Obama's solution for abortion is quite simple. He believes that contraception (deliberate prevention of conception or impregnation) such as condoms and birth control will solve the problem. The problem with contraception is that it doesn't always work. Combining that with the fact that the United States currently has the highest rate of infection with sexually transmitted diseases of any industrialized country I do not see contraception as much of a solution (Prevention First Act, S.21/H.R.819). How does Obama feel about the issue of gay marriage? Well that's a hard question to have answered. At the third Illinois State Debate on October 21, 2004 Obama stated," I Believe that marriage is between a man and a women." However at the HRC/LOGO debate on gay issues on August 9, 2007 Obama showed complete disregard of his previous statement by declaring," When it comes to federal rights, the over 1,100 rights that right now are not being given to same sex couples, I think that's unacceptable, and as president of the United States, I am going to fight hard to make sure that those rights are available." However Mr. Obama points out that it would be wrong for him to impose his beliefs on homosexual couples. I tend to see it in a different perspective though. When the California Supreme Court overturned the ban on gay marriage hundreds of pastors were forced to marry gay couples against their will. If they refused lawsuits arose against them, yet those pastors and other Americans stand accused of imposing their beliefs upon the gay community. However it looks like it is the gay community that is trying to impose their beliefs on anyone with a different viewpoint than them. In response to Proposition 8 (the proposed bill that defines marriage between one man and one woman in California) Obama called the bill "divisive and discriminatory" then congratulated gay couples who had recently married in California. The fact is this, if Obama becomes president he will work hard to take the power of the state to choose in regards to gay marriage and give rights to homosexuals at a federal level. The outcome of this election will undoubtedly shock the losing side and give the winning side one hell of a job to do as we face so many threats, obstacles and a nation divided. But have no doubts or qualms about what road this country should take, John McCain is a proven, knowledgeable and tested leader. He stands and walks tall for the good of all American citizens and has been serving for many decades through good and bad times as a nation. One nation, our nation, under God and seemingly divisible at this point in history. There is clearly all contrast and no comparison between the 2008 American presidential candidates running for the office this year. So try to fight the urge to vote Obama 08'and help John McCain and the Republican party protect us, invest in us and keep God in our homes, schools, on our money and in our hearts. "Freedom is never more than one generation away from extinction. We didn't pass it to our children in the bloodstream. It must be fought for, protected, and handed on for them to do the same, or one day we will spend our sunset years telling our children and our children's children what it was once like in the United States where men were free." {Ronald Reagan}http://www.quotationspage.com/quotes/Ronald_ReaganPosted by: john & linda dixon | Nov 18, 2008 1:15:16 AM
This election cycle was the most sophicated propaganda ever devised by man. The pyschological manipulations performed by the mainstream news media was criminal and should be prosecuted in a court of law, especially in the case of Sarah Palin. This entire election from start to finish was criminal on so many levels....including ACORN.....really...give me a break......somebody stand up for truth, justice and the American way before there's nobody left who even rememebers what those words mean!!!Posted by: Sheree | Nov 18, 2008 1:51:30 AM
hey i watched the election and it was a cheapshot from the word go and John MCCain was trying to run an honest election and Obama cheated so now its time to impeach Obama and make him step down because John MCCain won this election until Obama and his greedy ways took it away from MCCain so MCCain is a very truthful man and Obama isn'tPosted by: Alan | Nov 18, 2008 7:25:27 AM

Well, Good lost to evil, immorality, Marxist socialism, and all the other deviate behavors and life styles the far left can dream up. However, contrary to what they believe or think, our Lord and Savior will have the last word.

The republicans are just BITTER. Please take this time to learn from your mistakes, not blame the media for your failed policies and leadership. Why did McCain win the primary? Becuase of the liberal media? You guys need to take a look in the mirror.Posted by: terry | Nov 18, 2008 6:34:22 PM
Wow, sorry I took the time to read the posts of my bigoted, racist, partyline fellow AMERICANS (?) Apparently Bush's magic has worked and AMERICANS do not recognize eachother anymore, nevermind respect the freedoms we supposively believe in as a nation. BIGOTRY and racism are alive and well as is the ignorance many of you have complained about and blamed on Dems when you could not even spell your complaints properly. Chill out and get ready to ride the wave of demise you predict but don't blame it on the President Elect who is brave enough to try and stop the hemmoraging that we as a nation were dragged into; some of us kicking and screaming, others doing it with eyes wide open.Posted by: T | Nov 19, 2008 2:35:12 PM

Does a Negro's thoughts and dreams differ to you if he is illiterate? If he leaves his mark is it not binding. Contain your English lesson and read whats on our minds as americans.I dident cap up America because you dont deserve it. This election was a farce and he won because of every reason but he could do the job. We will bumble through the next four years and we will like always be drawn into the third world war like every other conflict before desert shield by DEMOCRATS. Look it up. We never took a drop of oil from Iraq so you stopped talking that crap...we have all but won the war in Iraq so you stopped talking about that. Violence and death are down over 90% and we have turned over all of the provinces to the Iraq military and police. Children play in the parks...go to school and to the doctor.Women are free to live and prosper. George Bush will be judged differently by time than by your popculture quizzing of the cripts and bloods.Posted by: john & linda dixon | Nov 20, 2008 9:00:57 AM
WOW! THIS IS TOTALLY AMAZING TO ME THE DIALOGUE I AM WITNESSING! I AM IN MY MID 40'S, I AM MULTI-RACIAL, THIS YEAR IS THE FIRST TIME I HAVE VOTED. I VOTED FOR OBAMA (THE LESSER OF THE TWO EVILS). OBSERVATION IS AS FOLLOWS: I HAVE HEARD FOR A LONG TIME THE DEMOCRATS ARE FOR GAY RIGHTS,THEY ARE "LIBERAL!" (USED IN A VERY NEGATIVE CONTEXT), THEY WANNA' TAKE AWAY OUR GUNS, THEY ARE FOR ABORTION, THEY ARE FOR WELFARE,THEY WANT GOVT. TO PLAY A VERY BIG ROLE IN OUR LIVES, YADA...YADA..YADA.

(SMILE). God Bless America! ( let’s all go to Church this Sunday!... wouldn’t that be cool!.. can’t hurt! See ya there!Posted by: Gus from Alabama | Nov 21, 2008 3:37:38 AM
Enough already! Every media outlet is slanted one way or the other -- there are no exceptions. This video interviewing "obama supporters"/democrats seems very slanted to me. Where are the McCain supporters and why aren't you interviewing them as well? Why not get a legitimate sampling from both parties and in different states and areas of the country? The fact is that the majority of Americans are tired of the Republicans and what they've done to our country over the past eight years. We are at the bottom of the barrel and it is time for someone (different) to pull us out and restore our country at home and abroad. The media did not elect Barack Obama, the people of this country did and the message was loud and clear. People who support Sarah Palin need to face reality and move on with their lives. Let's give President-elect Obama the respect he deserves and give him a chance to do something positive for this country.Posted by: lynn | Jan 9, 2009 12:35:49 PM
Both sides have ill-informed people supporting their respective causes. Just like the republicans that insisted Obama was a Muslim. The weather underground making him a domestic terrorist. I think most people got sick of trying to be scared to vote a certain way. Bush used that tactic to his advantage and people are just sick of "you will all die if you don't vote republican!" mentality. There is, of course, bias on both sides. The country, face it, was ready for a change. The republicans have ruled for 8 years after Clinton and this is where we are. Their record spoke for itself. You run on the record of your party and your ideals. Specifics of who controls congress is ultimately troubling but not what it is about. It's about, who was in office, what party was it and am I better off now or worse off. The semantics of government and the inner-workings become moot. People respond to the visceral needs of their lives and the issues of the street. We needed new leadership and a new approach. We will see if it works or not. But it seems that McCain and Palin dug their own holes. Winking, grinning and saying to ignore the current administration of their party just didn't work anymore.Posted by: robert | Jan 9, 2009 1:03:39 PM
Racist? Unquestionably. The video's opening song invokes images of Africa and The Lion King--and that is very, very much on purpose. By trying to make the President-elect out to be some kind of Congo tribesman, the director sealed his image as a racist. By interviewing only Obama supporters, and by claiming that those interviewees were selected by the way that they "looked", the director admitted to his selective interviews. I voted Obama, and I knew the correct answers to every one of those questions. I voted Obama, and I knew every lie that he and Biden told, and every lie that McCain and Palin told. Guess what? McCain and Palin were actually trying to rewrite history throughout their campaign. Sound familiar? Sounds like typical Right-wing propaganda to me. Sorry, but the Good Guy was elected this time. Oh, and for all you WWJD fanatics: If Jesus were here among us, he'd be laughing hysterically at the tragedy of American culture today. You wanna be like Jesus? You REALLY want to say you're a "good Christian"? Then give everything that you own away, except the clothes on your back and a cheap pair of shoes on your feet. Then you can walk around and tell people how THEY should live their lives, how THEY should vote, and who THEY should believe at the 11th hour. Hypocrites. And please, everyone--EVERYONE--PLEASE stop giving attention to Sarah Palin. Media bias or not, this woman is an idiot in Wonderland. It's not that certain questions might have been asked, or even that her "answers" might have been skewed; it's that she actually tried to answer things about which she knew nothing. She actually tried to run for VP when she knew she was unqualified (a monkey would have known that), and the Media--God forbid--actually had the audacity to show the rest of us. Fox News and Right-wing radio were, for the last eight years, the only media outlets that the Bush Administration would approach for direct contact. This proves that there was corruption in the Administration, and it certainly proves bias and corruption in the Right-wing media. How blind you dead-horse Conservatives must be to miss such obvious manipulation. "Conservatives" are, without question or hesitation, the most propaganda-susceptible crowd-following sheep that I've ever witnessed or read about in all of my years. If Limbaugh said the world would end if you didn't walk next door to shoot your neighbor because he was voting a certain way, then I bet you'd actually give it some thought. My God--I guarantee that you would.Posted by: Merritt | Jan 9, 2009 5:25:33 PM
Good God if you are trying to imply that Palin is anywhere near as smart as Obama, or even that Obama voters are less informed than Palin voters, then it just goes to show how stupid you are, and why you got your butt kicked in the election. You don't think I could find 7 uniformed backwater Republican voters? More like 70 Million. You losers, get over it. How about this . . the higher your educational level, the more likely you are a Democrat. Suck on that FACT.Posted by: Unruh | Jan 10, 2009 2:23:15 AM
It is said that NOT all Republicans are racist, but all racist vote republican. PALIN RAN FOR VICE PRESIDENT AND NOT PRESIDENT! let's move forward, but before we do, please read KJV ROMANS 13!!! 1Let every soul be subject unto the higher powers. For there is no power but of God: the powers that be are ordained of God. 2Whosoever therefore resisteth the power, resisteth the ordinance of God: and they that resist shall receive to themselves damnation. 3For rulers are not a terror to good works, but to the evil. Wilt thou then not be afraid of the power? do that which is good, and thou shalt have praise of the same: 4For he is the minister of God to thee for good. But if thou do that which is evil, be afraid; for he beareth not the sword in vain: for he is the minister of God, a revenger to execute wrath upon him that doeth evil. 5Wherefore ye must needs be subject, not only for wrath, but also for conscience sake. 6For for this cause pay ye tribute also: for they are God's ministers, attending continually upon this very thing. 7Render therefore to all their dues: tribute to whom tribute is due; custom to whom custom; fear to whom fear; honour to whom honour. 8Owe no man any thing, but to love one another: for he that loveth another hath fulfilled the law. 9For this, Thou shalt not commit adultery, Thou shalt not kill, Thou shalt not steal, Thou shalt not bear false witness, Thou shalt not covet; and if there be any other commandment, it is briefly comprehended in this saying, namely, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself. 10Love worketh no ill to his neighbour: therefore love is the fulfilling of the law. 1 1And that, knowing the time, that now it is high time to awake out of sleep: for now is our salvation nearer than when we believed. 12The night is far spent, the day is at hand: let us therefore cast off the works of darkness, and let us put on the armour of light. 13Let us walk honestly, as in the day; not in rioting and drunkenness, not in chambering and wantonness, not in strife and envying.14But put ye on the Lord Jesus Christ, and make not provision for the flesh, to fulfil the lusts thereofPosted by: PRC | Jan 10, 2009 8:33:16 PM
