Proof that some of the dumbest people live in Ohio

[samplegirl]

At a strip mall in Columbus (Im ashamed), this reporter went to a a book signing at Borders to ask people who turned off Fox News long enough to stand in line why they support Sarah Palin...hilarity ensues.

I always feared that half the country became consumed with temporary insanity after 9/11 now
I fear it isn't temporary.

[valerief]

1. OMG, I just watched that on Huffpo (and couldn't post on it there; frustrating!).

Stupid really is scary. As I watched the Foxbots, I couldn't help but think that you could probably teach a dog to understand all the buzzwords they repeated. I'll bet even a dog has better analytical thinking skills than these buffoons.

Scary. Morons with guns (I'm sure) and ballots.
:scared:

[samplegirl]

4. Disgusting to say the least

these people don't deserve to vote.

[LWolf]

2. And some of the best.

Since they regularly vote Kucinich in to represent them.

As for the other half...

"She makes me proud to be a woman..."

OMG :puke:

"The epitomy of conservativeness."

:rofl:

Personally, I'd like to see her discredited right NOW before that brand of insanity gains any momentum.

[bulloney]

25. On the flip side, they're also the ones electing people like Boehner, Schmitz & Jordan.

[yodoobo]

3. Ohio is a blue state

And was instrumental in putting Obama in the whitehouse

Lets keep putting them down. I'm sure that will keep it blue in 2010 and 2012

[samplegirl]

6. If you had to live here...

you would be as frustrated as I am.

[yodoobo]

9. I lived there for 35 years

In deep red Butler county. Just a few miles from John Boners house as it happened.

SO I understand the frustration. (hugs)

But guess what. Its frustrating everywhere. Now I have different frustrations living in wake county NC.

I was quite proud though to see Ohio go blue last time around, even though I wasn't there to help make it happen.

I would really like it to stay blue.

(Fwiw. there *ARE* some really dumb people on that video. But I just hate to paint the whole state that way)

[samplegirl]

12. I don't paint the whole state

that way...but for some reason Ohio seems to have more than its fair share of Republican idiots.

[Laelth]

17. Miami of Ohio to Wake Forest. An academic, I presume.

Butler County turned red and voted Boner in while I lived there ... 1992, iirc.

Sad. But deep down, Ohio is blue. If it weren't for Cincy, Ohio would be very solidly blue.

:dem:

-Laelth

[Cincinnati Kid]

18. Cincy is a progressive town

Hasnt been a Republican mayor in YEARS, City Council has long had a Dem majority, the city is also 40% African American so just do the numbers and you can see that Cincy is solid blue.

Hamilton County on the other hand....

[Manifestor_of_Light]

20. Jerry Springer was once the mayor of Cincy!!!

Very bright man.

Now, Cincy chili, I do NOT understand all those weird spices......??? :wtf:

(Disclaimer: I am one-half Ohioan, one-half Texan, born in Texas)

[valerief]

22. Cincy chili is something very strange. They call regular chili "chunky chili". nt

[Berry Cool]

26. Yeah, Jerry Springer was so bright he paid a prostitute with a check. n/t

[Hepburn]

30. My Dad graduated from Miami...

...and my mom from Ohio U at Athens.

:hi:

I was born in Ohio, but escaped while I was still in my teens!

[we can do it]

19. I Share Your Pain

[John N Morgan]

5. 30% of the population is still a lot of people.

It looks like our education system hasn't left any child behind a decades. Which means many Americans are on par with the lowest achiever.

7. Take that Steeler jacket off that moran!

To be dumb is one thing

To be dumb and dishonor the black and gold is another

Please Art Rooney, throw down a lightning bolt!!!!!

Disclaimer: Spent the first 21 years of my life in Ohio and am a proud Steeler fan!

[Bill McBlueState]

24. "Please Art Rooney, throw down a lightning bolt!!!!!"

lmao. :thumbsup:

[rucky]

33. This I don't understand. There's two -er- one perfectly good NFL team in Ohio.

And the Steelers are the arch enemies of both. WTF?

Lots of Steelers fans where I live, too.

[reflection]

36. Same thing I thought. Made me cringe. n/t

[marmar]

8. OMIGOD....."Idiocracy" was a documentary.

The "War on Drugs" and the "War on Terror" have been miserable failures, but Right's War on Brains has been a smashing success.

:dunce: :dunce: :dunce: :dunce:


Take it away, Green Day:

Don't want to be an American idiot.
Don't want a nation under the new media
And can you hear the sound of hysteria?
The subliminal mind fuck America.

Welcome to a new kind of tension.
All across the alien nation.
Where everything isn't meant to be okay.
Television dreams of tomorrow.
We're not the ones who're meant to follow.
For that's enough to argue.

Well maybe I'm the faggot America.
I'm not a part of a redneck agenda.
Now everybody do the propaganda.
And sing along to the age of paranoia.

Welcome to a new kind of tension.
All across the alien nation.
Where everything isn't meant to be okay.
Television dreams of tomorrow.
We're not the ones who're meant to follow.
For that's enough to argue.

Don't want to be an American idiot.
One nation controlled by the media.
Information age of hysteria.
It's calling out to idiot America.

Welcome to a new kind of tension.
All across the alien nation.
Where everything isn't meant to be okay.
Television dreams of tomorrow.
We're not the ones who're meant to follow.
For that's enough to argue

[valerief]

23. It really WAS a documentary!!! nt

[The Straight Story]

10. I live in Ohio....(nt)

[samplegirl]

11. Welcome to my world

there really are some stupid people here.

[teenagebambam]

13. I grew up in Ohio

It was like living in Oxford compared to where I live now (Florida)

[Hepburn]

31. Moved from the Akron-Canton area to...

...SoCal when I was a teenager. Santa Monica ~~ thought I had died and gone to heaven!

:hi:

[OneTenthofOnePercent]

34. Hey I live in the Ak/Can area!

I like it here. I fear I would not enjoy SoCal.
I wouldn't mind moving to florida or th emiddle of the country though.

[Hepburn]

35. I absolutely cannot stand Florida....

...the humidity is horrible. And the bugs??? Yuck.

I went back to Ohio a few times after I moved ~~ that was in the early 1960s when I was a teenager. I saw them having a parade with the HS band for the opening of a Burger King in my old home town...

[cprompt]

14. sorry to make this football related

but after all the OSU fans in the video allow me to just say SEC! SEC! SEC! SEC!

[Ilsa]

15. They are too far gone, too braindead. Even Catholic bishops

would vote to put to put them out of their/our misery.

I couldn't listen to 8 minutes of it.

[dixiegrrrrl]

16. That was truly painful to watch.

I realized I was holding my breath...literally...waiting for just one of them to complete a thought,
or even finish a sentence.
My head hurts now...serisly.

[dixiegrrrrl]

21. This needs a kick.

I am watching it again, with horrified fascination.
Never knew Alaska was "across the street from another country".
Talk about shifting ice.

The people being interviewed are prime candidates for retroactive birth control.

[Berry Cool]

27. I'm from Cleveland, and we aren't this dumb.

Then again, a lot of people in Columbus aren't this dumb. Just the Palin nuts.

[RockaFowler]

28. I don't know much about Cap n Trade

But I'm against it.

The stupid runs rapid. And don't worry - the nutbags were out in full force in Florida, too.

[Pool Hall Ace]

29. Sorry, I could only watch for about 4.5 minutes.

This level of stupid saddens me deeply. :(

[rucky]

32. That was painful

and sadly not unique to Ohio.
