John Stossel, FOX Business talk show host, mustachioed curmudgeon, and author of books with ridiculously long titles, dedicated a whole portion of his show last night to arguing that young people are too stupid to vote. Getting into his argument too deeply isn’t even worth my time or yours, but the gist of it is, “Young people are uninformed, and uninformed people shouldn’t vote because voting is too important to mess up.” Watch the whole thing here:

1. They won't be satisfied until the vote is restricted to

wealthy white male land-owners.

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

2. Uninformed, stupid voters = the teabagger movement

and those people aren't especially young.

3. one could say most of the voting public is uninformed thanks to the

corporate media. by his standards over half of eligible voters should not be voting.

[Realityhack]

10. Aren't over half not voting now? n/t

[Gman]

4. In general, young people are very uninformed

but then so is the average Republican voter. However, that doesn't mean young people vote Republican. When educated on the issues, young people will overwhelmingly vote Democratic Party. When informed on the issues, the average Republican voter will reject the facts of the issues and go with what Fox News says and continue to vote Republican.

5. That is door in the face technique. If stupid children should not vote, then

even more uninformed adults, or those without land, or 3/5 humans. Or ?

6. Anyone with a brain: John Stossel too stupid to breathe.

7. Young People: John Stossel is Too Stupid to Vote. nt

8. John Stossel hates democracy and wants to defund education

so he can bitch about taxes and how inneffective schools are. A huge douchebag...

9. Fux Business hosts are too stupid and narrow minded to vote.

[ProudToBeBlueInRhody]

11. John Stossel is too stupid to breathe

It's amazing how the guy doesn't forget now and then.

[Junkdrawer]

12. Young People: I'd worry if John (What Global Warming?) Stossel thought you were smart....

Other than that, you're fine....
