Political ignorance

I am very, very sure that there is plenty of ignorance on both sides to go around, this is just the only clip of it that I have.
Wonder if we should consider some minimum standard of knowledge in order to vote??
:rolleyes:

A recent poll showed that 1/4 of all Texans still believe Barack Obama is a Muslim. Many of whom knew about the Jeremiah Wright stories... explain that to me? I don't know many Muslims who attend Church, do you?

Yeah, it happens on both sides. There are always people who will be blinded by their biases, political or otherwise.

I logged into Facebook today and a girl's status status said :

Facebook Girl is: OMG DON'T VOTE 4 OBAMA HE'Z A COMMUNIST!!!!

then another:

Facebook Girl is: OMG IF U DON'T VOTE 4 OBAMA U HaVe 2 TURN IN YOUR BLACK CARD!!!

I don't know if that's ignorance, but I sure am sick of seeing this type of crap all over Facebook (on both sides).

Seriously - I got a couple of Facebook messages calling McCain a fascist. Really intelligent stuff being put out there by people on both sides.

My default is a picture of Castro holding a Barack Obama campaign poster.
