Do you think they know how stupid they appear?

[UnrepentantUnitarian]

The crowds whipped up, at the rallies? After all, it's no coincidence that this Ayres business is being whipped up just now, even though Obama has been campaigning for almost two years and such issues have already been covered thoroughly. Nothing new has come out...same old stuff that was either debunked outright or put into context months ago. In other words, do these folks at the rallies realize just how much they're being used, and how ignorant that makes them look?

1. these are people who turn flags into clothing so the answer is no.

[jberryhill]

6. What's up with that?

I hope we can restore dignity to treatment of the flag, too, instead of cheapening it as a fashion accessory.

[gravity]

2. They think they are right

That's the scary part

[graywarrior]

3. Ignorance is bliss

4. This is who they really are, unmasked.

[Iwasthere]

8. WOW!! That picture is eery

There really are some ropes up there in that tree it appears

12. Yes I started with an actual lynch mob photo

but discreetly removed the actual bodies. What they're doing today is lynching the character of Obama, along with reason, truth and sanity.

5. I can't decide if it's stupidity or panic,...

[gemlake]

7. No, they don't.

[ladjf]

9. I can assure you that they do not know how stupid they look. Otherwise,

they wouldn't be acting that way.

10. They are so dumb they don't realize they are dumb.

They can't understand smart people and think the smart people are crazy - of course they call smart people elitists or other names. They actually think they the smart ones because with their limited view of the world they have a model of good and evil that makes sense to them.

11. No. The people I saw who were filmed as they were in line

to attend a McCain rally have no idea how wrong they are and how they are being used. Screaming "terrorist," "commie faggot," and "baby killers" is just all part of the lexicon that has been engineered into their psyches for the past 28 years or so.

It's so uncivilized that I wonder how it is that I live in the same country with them.

The rabid right is all that the Republicans have left.

13. like a kkk rally...full of hate. this is not politics. it's demagoguery.
