Fox News focus group of Iowa Republican voters talk about Egypt

The Tallanvor family.

 

"His religious belief is liberalism. And that is the most intolerant religion of them all..."

I lawled

 

... :grin:

Did fox news purposely try to make their viewers look like complete r****ds

 

lol "He's a muslim sympathizer"

 

I couldnt watch the whole thing.

That's just pathetic.

 

It truly is amazing the disconnect these knuckleheads have from reality. No wonder sane republicans are jumping ship.

 

Apparently, the Republican caucus voters in Iowa are just as misled as all the other people who get their "news" from Fox.

 

This song sums it up...

Glenn Beck Brainwashed

 

I love how he kept reminding people that they were "Iowa Republican caucus voters" he could have said: "some of these people voted steve king into congress"

I understand some of their paranoia though... Iowa is a strange place. Lots of meth heads.

 

It's not all that different than what a liberal focus group would say about Bush to be honest.

 

Really? A liberal focus group would say Bush wasn't a Christian?

 

No, they just would attack him on being an idiot. He's not. As much as we'd like to rip on him, he wasn't stupid. Incompetent? Sure. Stupid? No.

And he was demonized as being evil and a tool of oil companies.

This thing made me chuckle. These folks are very ignorant and clearly lack awareness...you know, I find them everywhere. Houston, NYC, Iowa, it doesn't matter.

 

Thus is the curse of intelligence, when you realize that everyone around you is stupid.

 

I hate trying to cast myself as smarter, because you know what, there's tons of people smarter than me. And I am sure even these people can outwit me in certain ways.

It's not intelligence, it's awareness. Is seeing things from multiple perspectives and that things are not just black and white. To me, that's the biggest failings of conservatives. If liberals are naive about people's intentions and nuanced in their approach, than conservatives tend to over-simplify to a point it creates more of a mess.

I think that's why I've moderated over the years and find the middle road a bit more palatable.

 

well I laughed out loud a few times.. :grin:

 

Muslim is synonymous with "terrorist". Didn't you know?

 

It's interesting that Fox News is blamed for making these people think he's a Muslim when everyone on Fox, including Hannity in this very segment states that he is not one.

 

True(except of Beck) but they continue to treat those that insinuate that he is a Muslim as if their opinions are worthwhile.
