2. Saw it on Newsnight & TDS tonight!
Unfortunately most Americans don't seem to care what the world thinks.

3. How smart is that?
So the way to influence others is to call them "dumb"?

As Progressives we can't afford to be calling the otherside anything.
We need to win the hearts and minds and that is NOT the way.

6. They are stupid fucknuts. We aren't going to win them over
Edited on Thu Nov-04-04 11:42 PM by nothingshocksmeanymo
Their mind is brainwashed by hatred which has consumed their heart. There's nothing to win over. We have no choice but to keep working to crush them. There's no middle ground.

7. I posted this to show a what the world thinks...
A Bush re-election (re-selection?) reinforces all the negatives of how Americans are thought of.
Did you see the nasty letters from Ohioans to the Guardian? See the second letter, especially.

No wonder people think America is full of idiots!

8. Are you serious?
I can't imagine that anyone believes it's possible to win the "hearts and minds" of those who voted for *. If these people had hearts or minds to begin with, they wouldn't have voted for *.

13. Is this really good?
How does this really help?

Sure, it's good for a laugh, but cmon. This won't help make red states blue.

15. With comments like these ...
"Who in the hell do you think you are??? Well, I'll tell you, you're a bunch of meddling socialist pricks! Stay the hell out of our country and politics. And another thing, John Kerry is a worthless lying sack of crap so it doesn't surprise me that a socialist rag like yours would back him. I hope your cynical ploy blows up in your cowardly faces, you bunch of mealy-mouthed morons!"

We're supposed to find a way to lure these people to our side? I'd sooner put a nailgun to my head and pull the trigger.

17. Telling the truth is the only thing we have on our side, besides God. So
'YES' this is good. I thought everyone learned from their grandparents that telling the truth was the only option one had?

16. It's the same thing I've heard 99% of the Americans I've met say!
Europe is not alone. And maybe millions of Americans did vote for Kerry and NOT aWol but the electronic Diebold counters changed their votes?
