"I see a lot of socialism in him" (referring to Obama). Holy Jesus. That person undoubtedly depends on the postal service and either does or will on Medicare.
And what you see in this video are a sprinkling of jocks who can't explain anything Mitt Romney is about and a large majority of overweight to obese older white people who have been pumped full of fear and misinformation. Decent, wholesome folks, I imagine (at least, I'll give them the benefit of the doubt) who just really, sadly don't have a whole lot going on in their heads as far as critical thought goes. They're not stupid, they just don't think. AT ALL. Like, there's nothing going on in their heads. That's how a person can see someone as a social Christian (Wright), a Muslim, and an atheist. Those are things that strike fear in the person's heart, so they just string them together to create as bad a picture as they can.
Now [older] white people in other countries know better than this. So, who instills this fear in them here? I don't listen to the right wing radio entertainers enough to know if they actually promote this kind of thinking. But from what I have heard, I can see how an uneducated, non-thoughtful, uncritical person could glean this misinformation from listening to them.
