this is different. impostors with an conservative agenda dressed as a pimp went in under hidden camera to catch ACORN in any potential wrongdoing. this was a james okeefe special. he pleaded guilty to unlawfully entering government property and ALMOST went to jail for it.PJfanwillneverleave1 said:
It is interesting that the ACORN group has been non-existent since 2010 but yet here it is again being brought up within mere months of the election.Halifax2TheMax said:

This video is hilarious.
It's also hilarious because you think the supporters portrayed are as real as the video.
Oh the drama.
the video i posted is a bunch of trump voters brought in to review commercials. they did not enter with a hidden camera to smear triumph. big difference."You can tell the greatness of a man by what makes him angry." - Lincoln

I hate to say it, but they seemed very real to me. Too real. Watching the video, I actually feel sorry for a few of these people. I felt like maybe they had been cheated out of a decent education, that they might be otherwise good people who are just clueless because they were never taught any kind of critical thinking or good judgement skills. Sad, really.gimmesometruth27 said:
um, those ARE real trump supporters. they are from ohio and were brought in as part of a focus group to have them review new potential campaign ads.PJfanwillneverleave1 said:^^^

i don't feel sorry for them at all. they are a product of single source news, ie, fox news network. they should be embarrassed.brianlux said:

the american people are speaking loudly in polls. they are saying that a party with a mantra of division, hate, racism, misogyny, and xenophobia is not a majority party. if the election were held today, the dems would not only win the white house, but the house and senate too. and i believe if that happens they would reform the filibuster, and then the country could move forward with a more progressive agenda."You can tell the greatness of a man by what makes him angry." - Lincoln
"Well, you tell him that I don't talk to suckas."0 -
a party with trump as the leader, a party that is anti government yet filled with people who want to run to government, that has done nothing but drag its feet and refuse to legislate for 7 years deserves to be rejected."You can tell the greatness of a man by what makes him angry." - Lincoln

From Dan Rather facebook page on 8/9/16
"No trying-to-be objective and fair journalist, no citizen who cares about the country and its future can ignore what Donald Trump said today. When he suggested that "The Second Amendment People" can stop Hillary Clinton he crossed a line with dangerous potential. By any objective analysis, this is a new low and unprecedented in the history of American presidential politics. This is no longer about policy, civility, decency or even temperament. This is a direct threat of violence against a political rival. It is not just against the norms of American politics, it raises a serious question of whether it is against the law. If any other citizen had said this about a Presidential candidate, would the Secret Service be investigating?
Candidate Trump will undoubtably issue an explanation; some of his surrogates are already engaged in trying to gloss it over, but once the words are out there they cannot be taken back. That is what inciting violence means.
To anyone who still pretends this is a normal election of Republican against Democrat, history is watching. And I suspect its verdict will be harsh. Many have tried to do a side-shuffle and issue statements saying they strongly disagree with his rhetoric but still support the candidate. That is becoming woefully insufficient. The rhetoric is the candidate.
This cannot be treated as just another outrageous moment in the campaign. We will see whether major newscasts explain how grave and unprecedented this is and whether the headlines in tomorrow's newspapers do it justice. We will soon know whether anyone who has publicly supported Trump explains how they can continue to do.
We are a democratic republic governed by the rule of law. We are an honest, fair and decent people. In trying to come to terms with today's discouraging development the best I can do is to summon our greatest political poet Abraham Lincoln for perspective:
"We are not enemies, but friends. We must not be enemies. Though passion may have strained it must not break our bonds of affection. The mystic chords of memory, stretching from every battlefield and patriot grave to every living heart and hearthstone all over this broad land, will yet swell the chorus of the Union, when again touched, as surely they will be, by the better angels of our nature."
Lincoln used these stirring words to end his First Inaugural Address. It was the eve of the Civil War and sadly his call for sanity, cohesion and peace was met with horrific violence that almost left our precious Union asunder. We cannot let that happen again.""You can tell the greatness of a man by what makes him angry." - Lincoln
"Well, you tell him that I don't talk to suckas."0 -
Are you ready for the end of the republican party?

Well, in some ways yes, I hear you. The thing is, they don't strike me as particularly intelligent people but even so, if they had been taught some critical thinking skills I would hope they wouldn't make such idiotic remarks and be so horribly gullible. Maybe I'm being to idealist and perhaps I give to much credence to the power of education. But how else can we explain someone like Trump getting as far as he has in American politics? Something is serious wrong (i.e., fucked up) with this country.gimmesometruth27 said:

The fact that Triumph, The Insult Comic Dog is to be given credibility for any skit he produces is funny. It is akin to Jaywalking when Jay Leno talks to Americans and asks them common sense questions in which they fail miserably to answer.
The skit was funny and the people were real right? Does this mean we are to believe that all Americans portrayed on Jaywalking are as moronic as those interviewed?
It was produced for TV comical ratings, it's what Triumph does.
It was a very funny skit though just not representative of all Trump supporters.

And who's been in charge of the education system for the vast majority of the US population, government ... which is always democrat or republican...not so sure anyone party is to blame, the democrats benefit from poorly educated, just as the republicans do ... both parties benefit from indoctrination, your countries as mine does benefits from indoctrination ... I would say its easier to indoctrinate the poorly educated and lets not kid ourselves our governments benefit by indoctrinating enough people.brianlux said:

but i get what you are saying. jay leno takes the stupidest responses he can get and put them on his program for ratings. the questions were easy enough that anybody even remotely conscious and paying attention should get the answers right. triumph took a focus group of people and put them into a room and asked them if they agree with bogus commercials. he was doing it to expose them for how callus and racist they are. and those people ate up the ads. did you see how excited they got when they thought trump actually called them on the phone? would they really have agreed to do a testimonial if they did not agree with the messaging in the commercials?"You can tell the greatness of a man by what makes him angry." - Lincoln

trump has tapped into white anger that has always been present but has been under the surface these last 8 years. trump has said that we were in post racial america, yet his supporters are bringing their hatred to the mainstream. unfortunately i believe that even if trump loses, this is going to be the new normal. especially if the dems control the entire government."You can tell the greatness of a man by what makes him angry." - Lincoln

In the long run I can see validity to your argument. Otherwise how would be explain the worker-bee training character that is our educational system. Never-the-less, if I'm correct, democrats tend to more more strongly for education reform. But obviously even so, that has not been enough to pull our educational system out of the meat grinder.lukin2006 said:
