    ignorant idiots on both sides...

    I will however say that in this election cycle, there was much more hatred on the right than the left (after 4+ years of hatred on the left towards Bush & Co.). The idiots on the left were just morons who thought that Obama was going to somehow give them everything, not really anti-McCain, but pro-Obama (sometimes for misguided reasons). But there was a lot of vitriol and hatred aimed towards Obama from the crazy element on the right.

    these Obama supporters are not stupid just misinformed. Especially not knowing what party has control OF CONGRESS :roll: and them knowing all the questions about Palin proves how bias the mainstream media has become

    There is a big difference between being uninformed and being ignorant. It is a FACT more college educated people voted for Obama than McCain. It was much more even during the last election. The idiots came out in force for McCain last year.

    I know there's a difference, what do you think they are ? As far as your point about more college educated people voting for Obama goes. WHO CARES ? some one with a GED is just as capable of making an intelligent decision when it comes to voting for someone. It all comes down to common sense which obviously isn't to common on Americas campuses these days. There were also just as many idiots that came out for Hillary and Obama to.

    I wonder how much of those interviews were cherry picked for the documentary. I'm sure they forgot to leave in any thing with substance. Nice peace of propaganda you got here.....I hope you don't read into it.

    Cherry picked? Of course, they were cherry-picked, to prove the point of the documentary. I don't think anyone is trying to imply that all McCain supporters are low-functioning, ignorant racists. But the point is that some of them are. There was and is a lot of fear-mongering going on during the campaign. The GOP knows exactly how to bring out the wing nuts...also known as their base.

    Regardless of whether or not it is propaganda (which it undoubtedly is), and regardless if they did cherry pick those interviews (which they probably did), it is still absolutely terrifying to me that there are people like this out there, and that they are politically mobilized.

    UPCOMING DOCUMENTARY: The Followers

    BOTH SIDES have gone "full retard".
    It's time to "unwind" the political machine, just like we should now be "unwinding" the financial sector.

    Stop with the false diachotomy, the infighting, and the petty one issue arguments.
    Lets focus on the fundamentals.

    There are fanatics in both parties she clearly cherry picked it . Why didn't she interview republicans that live in big cities. she made it seem like all republicans are dumb rednecks even though there are a lot but there are a lot of republicans that live in metropolitan cities that are professionals to. I know it was about Mccain and palin but it would have been fair if she had shown all the Obama nuts. :roll: I think A. Pelosi is scum just like her mom.
    The average income of registered independents and dems is much higher than registered Republicans. Also the average level of education is also higher among dems and independents.

    so what's your point ? just because you make more $ then somebody else or went to college you think that they shouldn't vote,or have a voice ? All republicans are dumb asses? WTH.... I have met plenty of people who have degree''s and are dumb as a box of rocks when it comes to common sense. where are you getting these stats anyway?
