How Obama Got Elected
http://www.howobamagotelected.com/ ^ | Nov. '08

[VIDEO] On November 4, millions of Americans were shocked that a man of Barack Obama's limited experience, extreme liberal positions and radical political alliances could be elected Preseident of the United States. For many Americans, the explanation was rather simple - the news media, completely enamored with Obama, simply refused to do their job. On Election day twelve Obama voters were interviewed extensively right after they voted. These voters were chosen for their apparent intelligence/verbal abilities. The rather shocking video seeks to provide some insight into which information broke through the news media and the clutter which did not. Because obviously interviewing a relative handful of Obama voters, while interesting, is hardly scientific proof of anything we also commissioned a Zogby telephone poll which asked the same questions with similarly amazing results.

The manager of this site appeared on Hannity & Colmes Monday night. We might laugh at the ignorance of those featured in the video if this were simply a random selection of a few individuals. But the video is NOT anecdotal and has been confirmed by a scientific Zogby poll. Note the words of George Washington in his Farewell Address: "...it is essential that public opinion should be enlightened."

It’s easy to make idiot voters out of ignorant people.

I just want to see the FEC audit Zero's online contributions. That's all. What chance do you think there is that it will happen?

Zero.

Is your graphic a take-off on the Schoolhouse Rock song “Zero” that includes the wonderful line “Zero means so much”? I think that song is just crying out for a BHO parody.

I started to realize what a good job the media were doing at electing BHO when I talked to my mom a few weeks before the election. She was already voting McCain, but had no idea that Obama was pro-abortion, didn’t know about any of the good things Palin had done for Alaska, etc. Sometimes those of us who stay informed via more credible sources don’t realize what the CNN audience isn’t hearing.

There was a pretty cover on The Communist Manifesto.

Not my graphic - I shamelessly ripped it off from Google Image Search - but yes, it is a parody of Schoolhouse Rock.

Wow! I had read the results of the poll, but just watched the video for the first time. It is even more shocking than the poll. They attribute all of Obama & Biden’s stupidity (57 states, etc.) to McCain/Palin. I wish people who refuse to research the truth would just stay home on election day.

Just damn. These people are the ignorant sheeple we have been discussing for so long. I still find it hard to believe that they have so little understanding about our political situation, and the candidates/platforms etc.... It’s unreal.

This is how Obama got elected, subversion of our schools and the US Pravda, it’s a tough nut to crack.

Republicans get elected when Democrats destroy things, even Guiliani and Pataki got elected in NY when Cuomo and Dinkins were on the verge of totally destroying NY.

The media has been doing a SWELL job of misinformation and propaganda for years!

I recently got in touch with a few old friends who WERE Christian conservatives-just like me. (and still maintain that they are)
I haven’t spoken with them in a year or two... But they’re pro-OBAMA! They spew the ‘change is good’ mantra and ‘this country is going in the wrong direction’... I want to puke!

These were folks I truly believed were intelligent, self-thinking individuals. But they’ve swallowed the media’s CRAP.
I am afraid for my children.

The Howard Stern interviews confirmed for me what I thought about obama voters—dumber than a sack of rocks.

Exactly. As Bernie Goldberg pointed out (along with many others) in his book “Bias,” the liberal MSM not only slant or distort news to conform to their political agenda but their bias is also shown in what facts they choose to OMIT or downplay.

Right. It seems too often we have to hit rock bottom before people get serious. In this mass-media age we’ve also become too captive to the manufactured, “pop” images of “rock star” and “messiah” figures who have little substance. It’s all part of the cult of personality which can sweep a gullible, uninformed society.

I know a few people like that too. I think it sometimes has less to do with intelligence than laziness. They don’t realize that a democratic republic (just as Washington said) requires some effort and citizen-responsibility to become informed about the basic issues confronting a voter. Many just listen to a few sound-bites from ads or follow identity politics (race, union, class-warfare politics, etc.) without troubling themselves in the least to go beneath the superficial.
