John Ziegler didn’t know the kind of fury the left would unleash on him when he unveiled his web video “How Obama Got Elected.”
The ten-minute short featured 12 interviews he conducted with Obama supporters at Los Angeles polling stations on Election Day and the final product wasn’t flattering to liberals. His subjects couldn’t answer basic questions like “Who controls Congress” and “Who is Nancy Pelosi” or “Who is Harry Reid.” They could, however, correctly answer questions about GOP vice presidential candidate Sarah Palin’s pregnant daughter and wardrobe budget without any problem.
The web video spread like wildfire around the internet, getting more than 1.4 million views. Ziegler plans to include the interviews in a forthcoming film titled “Media Malpractice…How Obama Got Elected.”
See his website and video here.
As a result Ziegler’s email inbox has been flooded with profanity-laced emails accusing him of racism, bigotry and hate mongering. (He submitted 25 of these emails for my review, but many of them are unprintalbe.) “Whoever started this sight [sic] is a racist!” one email sent from someone identified as Andrea Gurule said. “What? You couldn’t handle a black man beating out a white man?! The man is qualified. More so than John McCain. Regardless, He’s your president. Get over it!”
Ziegler argues that he never intended to make Obama supporters look bad. Rather, they could not answer the questions because the media misinformed them throughout the election. He admits his interviews were not “scientific” but he did commission Zogby to conduct a poll asking the same questions. The Zogby poll found 57.4 percent of Obama supporters could not correctly say which party controls Congress. Only 6.2 percent of those same supporters failed to identify Palin as having a pregnant daughter.
See poll results here.
“The Zogby results were incredible and they were credible and the vast majority of enws media ignored it because it was their own malfeasance that created a massive amount of ignorance,” he said.
Ziegler is now planning to commission a similar poll to assess the political intelligence of those who voted for GOP presidential candidate John McCain. Zogby, however, is refusing to do it. After receiving a great amount of backlash from Obama supporters Zogby said will not be conducting the McCain poll.
“I believe there was value in the poll we did,” John Zogby told the Politico. “I also believe it was not our finest hour. This slipped through the cracks. It came out critical only of Obama voters.”
Ziegler said he didn’t originally conduct such poll for McCain voters because his documentary is focusing on how Obama got elected, not McCain. He will likely include the McCain poll results in the film and along with more detail about the outcry over his original poll.
“All this controversy proves the overriding premise” that the media helped Obama get elected Ziegler said.
A nice video of the sheeples.....Baaaaaaa! Ain’t democracy grand?
All those years of gov’t schools propogandizing has finally paid off.
This will be nothing compared to the big screen movie of “Valkyrie” when it comes out, it will have a distinct and eery modern day comparison to Obama.
It’s impossible for anyone to see, who can think logically.
No wonder some think he’s the Anti-christ. People voted for him sight unseen.
Truth to the lefties is like sunlight to a vampire.
“documentary outrages left”
mr. imanuel said that republicans can go f*&k themselves.
well, in a similar sentiment, the left can go f&^k itself if it doesn’t like free speech.
hmmmm. change that. the left can go f&^k itself about 38 times in payment for the millions of deaths caused by leftist sc*&bags in the last century.
change that again. make that leftist, scu&bag, low-life swine. (there, that “feels” better.)
IMHO
The left has a different way of handling free speech that it doesn’t like, especially when they are in power.
Censorship. By Force, preferably.
Disagreement with 0bama or his supporters will, in the near future, result in physical harm coming to the dissenter. Guaranteed.
Is this the same guy that did Protesting the Protesters and Indoctrinate-U? (Evan Coyne Maloney)
I think the left is really afraid...because for years their own “polling” and “surveys” [sic] claimed that liberals who watched PBS and listened to NPR were “most informed”....while those who listened to conservative media were “least informed”
The Zeigler film really blows liberal assertions out of the water.
The reason we lost was we didn’t run a conservative, we ran another socialist.
Years ago we allowed the nationalization of education. Which aloows the left to brainwash students. And we stood by and did nothing.
Considering ACORN, and shady O funds, we had our last free election in 2004 and then just barely.
We have lost our country. The more our party moves to the left the more to left the dems move.
A nation gets the government it deserves.
The have nots will now bleed us dry.
“Tax the rich, till there are rich no more”
“Tell me where is sanity?” Ten Years After.
Well, we can't have that, now, can we?
I hope the Supreme Court of the United States is undeterred by any potenital profanity-laced emails accusing them of racism, bigotry and hate mongering.
This is beyond ridiculous and we can’t let it rule our actions. It is not about complexion. How convenient for some to throw these grenades back. I don’t care what they say. This is insanity!!
The TRUTH is the truth.

A young heavy-set black woman in our office came in on that Wednesday morning with her phone to her ear (as usual) just running off at the mouth all ecstatic about the election. She then told whoever she had on her phone that she had to go because she needed to call her girlfriend.
She dialed the phone, waited for her friend to pick up and then proceeded to talk, “GIRRRRRRRL! D’JA HEAR?!!!! It’s OBAMA!!! HE GONNA BE OUR PRESIDENT!!.....”
She continued on for 15 minutes in what sounded like a mutually over-excited conversation with her... ahem, “GIRRRRRLfre’nd”. After she hung up she looked at me and said she was soo excited, she has to just call her friend.
I asked, “Didn’t you just talk to her?”
She said, “Nuh-uh, that was da wrong number, but when that girl heard me talking and she was just as excited and we was congratulatin’ each ovah... can you believe that?! I’m soooo excited! My bruvva, my sistas, my momma & diddy... Dis was the first time anybody in our family has ever voted, AND WE WON!!!”
