And on the other side

I am being fair and balanced here by airing one video that attempts to paint Republican supporters in a poor light after the previous video that did the same to Democrats. This was from al-Jazeera English and the network itself critiqued it on Listening Post after there were complaints and accusations of bias. Please note that the n word is used.

[this is good]

It would have been interesting if they had been asking more issue-specific questions, like the other one did. I doubt these fine citizens would have done any better than the Democrat side did, but a few of these comments are based on actual news reports (I think the lady who says he thinks white people are trash or whatever is referring to comments he made in his speech on race that were a little dismissive of whites, like we're all the same) whereas the hapless folks in the Democrat video seem to have only watched anti-Palin news. How could you not know who at least one of the Pelosi/Franks/Reid cabal is? Sheesh.

You're right, though, ignorance is not party specific.

I would have preferred to have posted a direct comparison, but this one stuck out in my mind, partly because it was so shocking (I know some people still use the n word privately, but I’d have refrained if I were that gentleman on seeing a TV camera pointed at me) and partly because people did complain about it.
