Heard this on CNN this morning and it really struck a chord..

What is worse than ignorance.. Is ignorance with enthusiasm..

[thucythucy]

1. And worse than that is ignorance with arrogance

which Trump and his supporters have in spades.

[Person 2713]

19. Yes I agree 1000% I always say I don't mind ignorant people really and yes there are people that

can be quite arrogant But ignorance with arrogance that's what those kind of people are .
I have seen them in action it is mind blowing

[gratuitous]

2. We had 8 years of this with the Dim Son

Ignorant, arrogant and bellicose. Is CNN at long last deciding that's not a good combination? It would have been a whole lot better for the country if the major media outlets had come to this conclusion a couple of trillion dollars and about a million lives ago.

3. It is hard enough to tell when you are being fooled

Harder yet to convince someone they have been fooled.

[calimary]

13. And even harder to admit that you're being fooled.

NOBODY wants to do that. It's only the really honest, realistic, and genuinely grown-up people who can do that.

9. Thinking smugness makes up for ignorance.

10. on 9/11 I had to drive from San Francisco to New York with two such idiots

They were PROUD that they didn't listen to the news (too depressing), read current events (too long), and had no idea who Bin Ladin was, how he came to be, or what was really going on. Of course they were proud Dubya supporters.

Luckily I did 99% of the driving and it was pre-determined that driver selects music/station.


We listened to NPR all the way home. . .

11. The media fits into that category.

[uponit7771]

17. +1, our news media is unabashedly ignorant on certain subjects

[Chicago1980]

20. They aren't ignorant, they're raitings whores.

[jtuck004]

12. What scares me is the velocity of ignorance. That stuff just flies...

One ignorant person with enthusiasm can spread it faster than smallpox.
