    Regarding the video of the uneducated voters for Obama... just stop it. There is also a video of the women who asked McCain about Obama being an arab and her further views later interviewed were worse. I'm a Republican but interviewing people who are so poor they have no TV's is BENEATH us.

    Has every virtue of decency been thrown out the window? No wonder our young Republicans are leaving the party in droves, accusing us of being "Godless", without principles, and without Intelllectual leadership. Guess what??? Other Republicans agreed!

    Time for us to regroup centered on TRUTH of our behaviour. First to help us recognized the lies we spread and their consequences.

    Lastly stop promoting Blasphemy against the Holy Spirit who led Obama to Christianity as a child. We already have indulged in enough sins that could keep us out of Heaven... one being breaking the commandment :THOU SHALT NOT BARE FALSE WITNESS.

Obama's Victory: The Aftermath
Power Line — The conduct of the press, not only during the Presidential campaign but in its aftermath, has been so embarrassing that even those inside the journalism bubble have noticed. Rupert Murdoch tries to explain the problem to his colleagues, but they probably won't listen. After all, Murdoch's publications are actually profitable, so he doesn't qualify as an industry insider. The Onion diagnoses a frightening post-election syndrome among Obama supporters; it helps to understand the Onion's report if you consider that many of those depicted are probably journalists: Obama Win Causes Obsessive Supporters ...

Documentary Finds Obama Voters Made ‘Dumb And Dumber’ By Media Coverage - Video
Pat Dollard | Young Americans — Oh. My. Dear. Merciful. God. NO DUHHHH! You know, the more we want to, and should, blame the 50% of Americans who voted for this guy and his crazy white uncle sidekick, the media is so highly culpable in their journalistic malpractice in covering the campaigns, and the candidates in this Presidential election. The only malpractice worse than this has been their coverage (and lack of) of the Iraq War … Oh, and I am calling “BULLSHIT!” on this post-election media, “Woops!” admission(s) … as IF they were completely unaware of it … Like so much ...

Shocker... Obama Supporters Are Completely Clueless (Video)
Gateway Pundit — How Obama Got Elected interviewed twelve Obama voters right after they voted on Election Day. The results were predictable: On November 4th, 2008, millions of Americans were shocked that a man of Barack Obama's limited experience, extreme liberal positions and radical political alliances could be elected President of the United States. For many of these Americans, the explanation was rather simple... the news media, completely enamored with Obama, simply refused to do their job. Here is the shocking video: All of this was conducted for a forthcoming ...

Media Bias and an Uninformed Electorate: How Obama Got Elected
Wizbang — This video confirmed for me what I already knew: the media, in the tank for Obama, helped give him the presidency by refusing to report anything negative about him while consistently hammering John McCain and Sarah Palin. Twelve Obama supporters were interviewed on election day after casting their ballots. They were asked questions about the candidates and their political parties. Very few of these Obama supporters knew which political party had control of Congress, how Obama won his first election, or that he said he would bankrupt the coal industry. But they all knew whose party spent $150,000 on clothes and whose teenage daughter was pregnant. The folks at the ...

Moonbattery — Watch and weep: Their votes counted as much as yours. The interviews above are backed up by a multiple-choice Zogby poll. Some of the results, via How Obama Got Elected: 57.4% could NOT correctly say which party controls congress (50/50 shot just by guessing). ...

RedState: Conservative News and Community — How Much Did Voters Learn About the Candidates? This is shocking, but not surprising: The video was prepared by John Ziegler, who also commissioned a poll to see what the average voter learned during the 2008 campaign. The result: 57.4% could NOT correctly say which party controls congress (50/50 shot just by guessing) 81.8% could NOT correctly say Joe Biden quit a previous campaign because of plagiarism (25% chance by guessing) 82.6% could NOT correctly say that Barack Obama won his first election by getting opponents kicked off the ballot ...

HowObamaGotElected.com Doesn't Click
Politics Daily — Filed under: 2008 President, LOLection, Obama AdministrationThe right wing operatives who launched howobamagotelected.com--a site dedicated to exposing how the liberal media's bias scored a victory for President-elect Barack Obama--have indeed exposed an undeniable truth about our nation: Some folks are not so sharp. According to the site, a film crew making a documentary called "Media Malpractice... How Obama Got Elected" sat down with 12 Obama supporters on Election Day and asked them a series of questions concerning the months and months of media coverage leading up to that historic Tuesday. The site's homepage ...

Obama Voters Demonstrate How Their Views Shaped by MSM
NewsBusters.org - Exposing Liberal Media Bias — This is a video that is both extremely funny as well as very sad. It shows how the perceptions of Barack Obama voters were shaped by the mainstream media. We have already seen the vast amount of misinformation displayed by Obama supporters by an interview with them on the streets of New York conducted by the Howard Stern Show and now the How Obama Got Elected website goes into even more detail about how the MSM shaped the information: On November 4th, 2008 millions of Americans were shocked that a man of Barack Obama's limited experience, extreme liberal positions and radical political ...

Obligatory “How Obama got elected” video
Stop The ACLU — Good video and all, but is anyone surprised? You take a spoiled, whiny, uninformed electorate, give them a biased media in the tank for Obama, and this is what you get. A lot of Americans will have buyer’s remorse in the next year or so, because they had no idea what they were voting for. None whatsoever. This video just happens to show it in an entertaining way. These twelve people in the video couldn’t name the political party currently in power in Congress. They didn’t know who Barney Frank, Harry Reid, or Nancy Pelosi is. They didn’t know that Obama bragged about campaigning in 57 states, how he said he wanted to bankrupt the coal industry, or how he won previous ...

Video: 'How Obama was elected' (or, how the media won the election for Obama)
Hyscience — Here's the video everyone's linking to today, showing how miserably-uninfomed typical Obama voters were when the went into the voting booth. As John Ziegler at How Obama Got Elected notes, millions of Americans were shocked on November 4th, 2008 when a man of Barack Obama's limited experience, extreme liberal positions and radical political alliances was elected President of the United States. However, for many of these Americans, the explanation was rather simple... the news media, completely enamored with Barack Hussein Obama, simply refused to do their job. And put in the context of a disturbing report from Zogby, it emphasizes the ignorance of the typical ...

How Obama got elected
Maggie's Farm — Interviews with Obama voters, via a piece at Gateway on the media's failures to inform voters about Obama. I find this disturbing, but maybe it's the way it always is:

It’s Not The Whole Reason Obama Was Elected, But It’s A Big Chunk
The Sundries Shack — I’m betting that you’ll be seeing this video popping up quite a lot around the blogosphere over the next couple days. John Ziegler pulled aside twelve Barack Obama voters and asked them a few question. He filmed the results, which will likely come as no surprise at all to any of you. At that point, he had the same kind of “man on the street” interview as you might see on the Tonight Show or Sean Hannity’s show. Ziegler took it one step further, though. He commissioned a phone poll of another 512 Obama voters and asked them the same question. The results are pretty pathetic. In a nutshell, the vast majority of them knew all about the rumors and ginned-up ...

Media Malpractice?
protein wisdom — How Obama got elected : I’d add my piece about voters being conditioned by many of our institutions to respond to certain ideological cues and easy political bromides — and for good measure, throw in a bit about how so-called conservatives who went for Obama were gulled by a boogey man created for their benefit, namely, this idea that improperly educated religious conservatives are hoping to burn books and build a theocracy (8 years of hearing this said about Bush — with the attendant failure of said theocracy to materialize — evidently never triggered their “highly educated” and “skeptical” doubt reflex) — but what’s the point, really? If you’re honest, you ...

How Obama Got Elected
Flopping Aces

An Educated Electorate
Neptunus Lex — I’ve pretty much sworn off politics (and there was great rejoicing!!1!), at least until 20 January 2009. So the following should not be construed as having to do with politics per se, nor even with the risks one takes when everyone is permitted to vote. But it is an interesting reflection upon the effectiveness of our Tribunes of teh People completing their sacred task of educating the electorate. They need to do better. Really.

Video of the Day: Paris Hilton Voters--"How Obama Got Elected"
Debbie Schlussel — By Debbie Schlussel I've made this point before . . . several times. And I'll say it again: Election Day is the Million Moron March. Or in the case of this November, the 63 Million-Plus Moron March. Compare how much they know about Congress versus how much they know about Sarah Palin's personal life. You can skip the first 42 seconds (which is annoying Obama music):

How DUMB Are Obama Voters?

In proportion as the structure of a government gives force to public opinion, it is essential that public opinion should be enlightened.” George Washington, Farewell Address, September 19, 1796 Readers may recall the comical man on the street interviews the Howard Stern show did in New York City weeks before the election. Most of the Obama voters thought it was fine ...

Meet the Obamaniacs
Babalu Blog — Meet the Obamaniacs On November 4th, over 52% of American voters cast their votes for Barack Obama and placed the future of this nation with a relatively unknown candidate with virtually no experience. It was an historic moment for it brought us not only the first black president ever to be elected in American history, but also the least qualified person to ever be elected in American history. A decision to put the fate of our great nation during such tumultuous times in the hands of a novice with a questionable past should not be taken lightly. And one would hope that most voters who chose to take this unprecedented and risky chance would take the time and make an effort ...

How Obama got elected
BatesLine — On election day, a documentary crew interviewed people who had just voted for Barack Obama to get a sense of what messages about the candidates had reached them. The video revealed that these voters had heard plenty about Sarah Palin's wardrobe and her daughter's out-of-wedlock pregnancy, but they were unaware of even more embarrassing or damaging information about Obama or running mate Joe Biden. The voters, who were "chosen for their apparent intelligence/verbal abilities and willingness to express their opinions to a large audience," were read statements and asked to identify to which one of the four presidential and vice-presidential nominees the statement ...

Zogby defended its survey in a statement released to the press. Ninety-four percent of Obama voters correctly identified Palin as the candidate with a pregnant teenage daughter, 86% correctly identified Palin as the candidate associated with a $150,000 wardrobe purchased by her political party, and 81% chose McCain as the candidate who was unable to identify the number of houses he owned. When asked which candidate said they could “see Russia from their house,” 87% ...

Today I saw a video, which many of you have no doubt seen before, that really highlights some of what I was talking about. You have to slog through the first minute or two as the interviewer is determined to ask each of the 12 respondents every single question. The second half is gold.

Media Malpractice Led To Ignorant Electorate
GayPatriot — I just *had* to comment on this enraging story about how stupid those who voted for Obama are about current events and their own candidate. The whole story is at How Obama Got Elected.  The 12 “Zogby” questions were duplicated, one on the Keating scandal was added for extra balance. The results from Obama voters were virtually IDENTICAL in both polls.  Here are the highlights: 35 % of McCain voters got 10 or more of 13 questions correct.   18% of Obama voters got 10 or more of 13 questions correct. ...

I’ll do what everybody else does.” Funny how when anyone used his middle name, (for all you ignorant Obamatons: his middle name is Hussein) the Dems said it was a smear. But that’s not the point here. The point is that Obama declares he supports the ...
