Right America: Feeling Wronged

Good evening folks. So I just got done watching this documentary I was lucky enough to run across haphazardly. It was written, directed by Alexandra Pelosi(yes Nancy's daughter) and was quite eye opening. The premise is basically this: Alexandra follows the McCain camp as they go from town to town on the "Straight Talk" Express. You get to see how the average person who attends these rallies acts. It's something else to say the least. You ehar some of everything from these folks. People who thought, perhaps still think, that Obama is a muslim, a baby killer, a socialist, Hitler(yes ADOLF HITLER), and one fellow who thinks he's the Anti-Christ. I'll repeat that.

PEOPLE THINK OBAMA IS THE ANTI-CHRIST OF AS BAD AS ADOLF HITLER.

Can you think of anything more Un-American than that? I mean honestly man that's really messed up. I mean I really have a strong dislike for George W Bush, Ronald Reagan, Bush Sr, and Dick Cheney but I wouldn't go as far as calling them Hitler. This aside from the fact some might say they've done there share of ethic cleansing(Katirna, and Iraq for example).

But the real part that's totally fucked is these people ARE REAL. These aren't actors. This isn't a film of fiction. It's a documentary. My friends, as McCain would say, is very sad and some what frightening. I mean Ms. Pelosi talked to folks down here in the south(Georgia, Mississippi, and the Carolinas) and there were grown men CRYING TEARS at the thought of Obama winning the election. Some of them openly used the n word in reference to then Sen. Obama. I believe one fellow even sad he thinks things should go back the way they use to be when blacks AND WOMEN couldn't vote. Let's be real about that. There's no sugar coating that kind of bigotry. And while I'm all for people having the right to do and say what they please that's disgusting. Period.

So for all my right wing, conservative, christian friends who are upset that Obama IS the President let us both pray that his legacy isn't any worse than W's. Because the entire time I watched this all I could think of was that these people had to have voted for W. Here's a good Olbermann clip to remind you of the good W did while in office. I present 8 years in 8 minutes.






There's your benevolent Bush in all his glory. Now, if Obama is any worse than that Ill gladly apologise for voting for Barack. Somehow I think I'll be fine. Thanks for reading and check out Lauren's post on this for the official times of showing on HBO:
