My personal favorite moment of the video is when the batshit crazy old woman with the white hair tells us that Obama went to Rev. Jeremiah Wright's church for 20 years, but he's a Muslim. When asked why she thinks he's a Muslim, she says, "Because his father was a Muslim, and an Atheist, and an Communist." Again, when asked which he was, a Muslim, an Atheist, or a Communist, her response was, "He's all three!" You just can't make this stuff up.
I'm also partial to the blank stares that result from the simple follow-up question, "Give me an example..........."

(14,400 posts)I think it was for 2008 so it may have even been in the Alaskan intellectual capital of Wasilla and there was a rally of people protesting to keep their guns. They were blathering yapping points like Obama was going to cave to a UN declaration taking away all their guns and the rest of the idiocy.
Then the person asking the questions, could it have been Rachel Maddow?, asked a really simple follow up. So what has Obama done to make it harder for you to keep or get a gun or ammunition. The idiotic blank stares were hilarious and kind of unnerving.

Although not as confusing as being a teabagger.

(8,994 posts)I will put this as plainly as one possibly can: the unavoidable consequence of our inability to face reality is that America is doomed to choke on the filth that these monsters create for us on a daily basis.
People like the zombies in that video clip will fight to the death to obstruct progress. These people don't have to outlast us. They don't have to survive the onslaught of reality, they don't need to hold out indefinitely against liberalism. They just need to hold on and keep pissing in the well until it's too late to fix the damage from global warming, shock doctrine tactics, money leaving the country...
It is outright denial of reality to say there's a third option. There are only two ways out of this: either cut these demons loose or let this nation choke to death in the unending gallons of filth they spill into our culture. By not choosing one we absolutely will choose the other.
