They're ignorant fools. They are also proud of their ignorance and actively despise knowledge and education.

Who called on her foolishness? I'm guessing Tweety.

He asked if she thought he was born in another country when she said he's not from here.. but she said no: He's just not like us! He handled her well and I forgave him for a second for last week

What's your point?

Tea baggers are willfully ignorant, not nessicarily sick. It's more about brainwashing than having a disease.

You know it's disrespectful to those who are mentally ill, and not caring who's in your angry crossfire is hardly a characteristic to hang onto.

Matthews asked her if he was born here. She admitted he was born here but he' still not an American, not one of us. What do you suppose she was getting at?

Why, it's on account a him bein' a nee-grah and one-a them moos-lems and all.

Seriously...born here but not "like us"? She just didn't want to be the one to say "it's cause he's black!" on TV.

us. Do you know how stupid she came off. I mean how many people travel the world and find out travelling that people who don't experience that diversity are the ones who are kind of backwards. Heck it would be nice even travelling across america you can open your eyes. Just because Obama travelled the world he comes out being a communist, really? Sad and she came off stupid.

Exactly like her. They can never back up their points. "Research it," meaning find the nut job right wing site that repeats the allegation. The fool couldn't even say what communism is. I despise those people.

Today I spent time with two women I met recently. One is voting for Romney because of the military budget - says she doesn't care about women's rights. The other declared that she just doesn't care about politics.

Totally freaked me out.
