Just saw the video of the "End Climate Silence" protest at Romney's rally today

[BattyDem]

The guy held up the "End Climate Silence" banner in a room of people that were certainly going to disagree with him. I would have expected them to yell "Sit down!" or "Shut up!" or "Get lost, treehugger!" or anything to express their disagreement with the man's opinion. Instead, they started chanting, "U-S-A! U-S-A! U-S-A!" like a bunch of mindless zombies! It didn't make any sense at all. Someone voices an opposing view and instead of addressing the issue, they chant the name of their country?!? WTF? Are these people even capable of independent thought?

1. They think it hides any protest before the camaras.

But everyone knows thats what they are doing anytime they start screaming USA in the middle of a speech or appearance.

2. Pride in ignorance

It's brought down many an empire, historically.

3. They didn't notice the USA drowning during Sandy

because the effin' storms are now mammoth because the effin' oceans and seas are too hot.
It is patriotic for greedy and ignorant to reject science.
They are mindless morons.

4. Republicans appeal to the lowest common denominator

5. eerily similar to Animal Farm's sheep

every time one of the animals would remember something important or disagree with the pigs, the sheep would all start yelling a chant (one that i can't recall right now)

6. Never thought of that, but you're right!

That's just ... creepy.
