i was just watching c-span, they are taking calls from people regarding obama's speech

[IndependentDem]

and some dumb ass redneck from tennessee said:

"We are talking about a colored man, his middle name is Mohammad, he is a muslim. Who are we fighting right now? Muslims..."

Then they cut his dumb ass off.. i couldn't believe my ears.

[jlake]

1. Sigh.......

[LSparkle]

2. One of the 15% that cannot be reached ...

The same ones who still think RatBastard is doing a GREAT job.

:eyes:

[Forkboy]

3. Probably a DUer.

7. Sad to say, it could have come straight from GDP. nt

[AlCzervik]

21. You!!!!

need to come over right now and clean off my keyboard!

:spray:

[Tribetime]

4. i saw that too...they cut him off quick

[IndependentDem]

11. yeah, i was just speechless for a couple moments-- he didn't even get his middle name right!

and who do we have to thank for spreading all these bullshit lies?

[zanne]

5. Do you think C-Span callers should have to give their full names?

I think the threat of discovery would be enough to make the callers a bit more "polite".

[blogslut]

6. I think C-SPAN only lets the lunatics get through on the phone lines

:)

[IndependentDem]

9. actually of the 7 or 8 i heard only 2 were anti-obama--- both old dumb white southern rednecks n/t

[blogslut]

10. You are correct

and I was exaggerating. :)

[SoCalDem]

8. this guy?

or this guy?

[Tribetime]

12. is that 2nd pic Hannity

[IndependentDem]

13. im going to say redneck number 1....

but more importantly where did you get that second pic from so quick?

[ej510]

14. I heard the same thing.

I'm still furious over that shit.

[IndependentDem]

16. just goes to prove...

that if you tell a lie enough times some people will believe it. i still cant get over that he didn't even get his name right! how does this person function in society? people like this is why i moved back to cali and left tennessee.

[IndependentDem]

15. hey the same dumb ass from c-span is now posting on DU...

what a fucking idiot!

[housewolf]

17. I can't understand why C-Span

refuses to take the opportunity to correct "wrongs" like that...

The C-Span moderators KNOW that the guy was wrong, yet by their silence they perpetrate the error. For an organization as committed to educating the American people about its government, I just don't understand why/how they can let this stuff go out on their network without correcting it.

Disclaimer: I love C-Span. I'm a big C-Span watcher. This just really gets me!


:spank:

[IndependentDem]

18. yeah i don't know what that is all about...

i guess it is because they want to stay neutral, but they should have just cut the dude off and told the guy he was wrong. i still don't get how the guy was soo far off base, if he listened to the speech then he would realize that this whole thing was started because he goes to a christian church that has a rev. with some controversial views. how can he sit through that then call him a muslim. i just don't get it.

19. This is why this Wright issue is a problem.

Can't you see the same type of man saying "He's from a hate-filled $%&@# church, and we're white. He doesn't represent me."

Can't you see that? The repubs are going to play hell with this. This Wright issue may eventually die within the Democratic Party, but it won't die if Obama becomes the DemNom and the GE rolls around.

[IndependentDem]

20. sad but possibly true...

the muslim thing has been debunked repeatedly. the problem is that a portion of our country is still just plain dumb and ill-informed. he exposed himself as being completely ignorant by not only talking about something that has been debunked but also by not even getting the lie right. its sad that some think that the majority of the country is as stupid as this guy.
