1. Yes, and they live all around me

7 out of 10 people in my community voted McCain. Yep, that's right.:crazy:

[Flirtus]

23. Howdy Neighbor!

My county and the surrounding ones average about 70% looney, no offense to the birds or Canadian money.

Still, the country got it right, thank goodness!

[mwb970]

28. 70% McCain! Wow. Your area must be infested with right-wing hate radio.

I am convinced that the principal source of rural America's mind-boggling ignorance is the poisonous falsehoods poured into their minds every day by Fox "News" and right-wing gasbags on the radio. The "real America" seems excessively susceptible to the kind of hateful demagoguery spewed by Palin and others and amplified many times over by hate radio.

What is the solution to this, though? The Fairness Doctrine? Radio Free America?

2. I wouldn't say they are all crazy, some just very ignorant

[AlinPA]

4. ..and stupid.

[rhett o rick]

16. don't forget gullible. nm

[RedCappedBandit]

29. ..and stupid

:p

[tridim]

3. I bet half those people support Obama by Spring.

The real backwash is only about 25%.

[codjh9]

12. Yeah, I think that's about right.

[yardwork]

5. I never forget that. Heck, a sizeable proportion of posters on DU are "crazier than...."

[WannaJumpMyScooter]

6. or racist

assholes

[DJ13]

7. Please dont insult the shithouse rats

[riqster]

8. True. Shithouse rats perform a valuable service

...unlike the "46-ers".

[unpossibles]

9. technically, those "46%" are actually closer to 29% of American adults

I was going to say including kids in the equation makes it even smaller, but it probably doesn't.

The reason it's 29% is because not all people vote. So, I guess another 36% is just lazy or disenfranchised too.

[peace13]

10. ...and frightened. Boo.....911 n/t

[dkofos]

11. bush gave us the camps, lets put them to good use.

[rhett o rick]

18. I think you may be on to something. nm

[pokercat999]

13. The best reason to divide America into 2,3 or more countries. nt

[cliffordu]

15. I'm with you....Of course many would have to move out of dumbfuckistan....

[pokercat999]

25. That would be the new Jesusland. nt

[cobalt1999]

14. I'd say 100% of the human species is crazy

We are not a noble species.

[rhett o rick]

17. I figure that within the next 50 years the cockroaches and termites will be laughing their f******

heads off.

[pokercat999]

26. Unlike chickens which are social animals that do best in

small groups of 20-30 humans should be solitary animals that live in very small family units of 6 or less. In a recent study at the University of PA it was shown that people start to lose their sanity when the population reaches a density of more than 6 per square mile of land area and that anyone living in a condo, apartment or other communal structure of 50 or more are completely out of their mind.


Ok I made that up but it sounds kinda official.

:evilgrin:

[LSK]

19. 46% of people who voted for President, not 46% of Americans

[Evoman]

24. People who don't vote for President also get the stupid appellation

Unless they are kids or not eligable to vote, they are stupid. So the number is higher than 46 percent.

[JJ]

20. No, only about 27%

the other 19% are just ignorant sheep

[Javaman]

21. exactly...

the 19% are just lazy minds. it's the 27% that are crazy, however, even of that 27% I would say half of them are just all talk, it's the 13.5% that I think are capable of doing something insane.

I think the 13% breaks down like this....


9% random acts of stupid violence
-screaming cuss words and acting all tough, stealing Obama signs, graffiti, etc...

2% random acts of violence
-slashing tires at rallies, a few punches thrown, going on a drinking jag and spinning donuts on lawns, etc...

1 1/5% acts of violence
-going out in gangs and targeting people due to their race, religion and sexual orientation, burning crosses, burning churches, etc...

.5% acts of premeditated violence
-the total loon category. planning assassinations, planning terrorist type acts, willfully being involved in conspiracy to commit acts of treason, etc...

[indepat]

22. The vote confirms only 66% of the white folk in my native state are still crazier than

shit house rats. :P

[4lbs]

27. 46% of American voters thought the idea of President Sarah Palin by 2010 was a good idea.

WTF?

:wow:

:scared:

[tom_paine]

30. I can never forget that now (plus, I think the actual number of Hannidiots and Savage Weiners and

Dittoheads is no more than 30%.

The other 16% are OK, I think, they just wrere fooled or simply had too many huge phiosophical differences with Obama, or maybe were a little (or a lot) racist, but without being the crazy batshit Hardcore RW Haters.

30% is a pretty high number, too, though, and we must never forget how these last 8 years showed how easily fooled the great mass of the American People are.

I take your point and almost totally agree, Don.

I just think the number of Americans who are crazy as shithouse rats is about 30%, not 46%.

30% weak-minds is way too high for a nation that purports to be Leader of the Free World.
