Only Howard Stern could get away with that.  If it was FOX that questioned black people on the street, that network would be deemed a racist news organization that is in the tank for the GOP.   Wait...

“Anybody gone into Whole Foods lately and see what they charge for arugula?  I mean, they’re charging a lot of money for this stuff.”

B.H. Obama

as part of one of their posts. It is beyond frightening that many who may be voting in this election are so ill-informed and ignorant. The fact that some of the people in this "man on the street" moment didn't even catch the fact that Sarah Palin is not Obama's running mate left me almost speechless. You would think that with all the press coverage of her, that they would at least know that!!!

Unbelievable!  

"...peace is the highest aspiration of the American People. We will negotiate for it, sacrifice for it, we will never surrender for it, now or ever." President Ronald Reagan, January 20, 1981

He's a democrat?  He's black?  There are no need for any more questions.  I know all I need to know.

Just pick your team and cast your vote.  No need to bring complexity like actual policy stances into this decision.

None of this is surprising at all.  A significant amount of Obama's support is from people who are clueless (of all races).  Many of these people have no idea how the government works, what Obama really stands for or who Joe Biden even is, but they know Obama is the savior.  He is a smooth-talking telegenic minority; and to a lot of people that is all that matters.

The good news is most of idiots will over sleep on election day.

he's done what no news anchor has the guts to do ... expose the truth.

meanwhile, morons like brokaw, blitzer, williams, gibson, matthews, etc. kepp playing the obama broken record with no integrity whatsoever ... hard not to see the parallels between obama/media and stalin/soviet press.

Means even man-on-the-street people support Republican ideals ;)

I have only ever made one prayer to God, a very short one: O Lord, make my enemies ridiculous. And God granted it - Voltaire

This is why I don't agree with 'Get Out The Vote' or 'Rock the Vote' campaigns that try to get everyone to vote.  For every intelligent person in our society, there are at least three clueless vegetables who have no business making decisions that impact the rest of us.

Frankly, Stern could have sent folks out to much newsrooms in America and gotten the same responses!

So true.

Wonder how many times these people will vote????

My morning drive has not been the same without him. Yeah that was pretty funny, I remember Sean Hannity did a survey one time and more people knew Britney Spears did not wear panties, than knew the name of the Speaker of the house. 

Real life video games are cool

I really would have had Howard Stern not be lazy and always fall back on sex for almost all the does, because this guy is a real journalist if he would just have the guts to do the job.

I have seen Stern pound Phil Donahue and Letterman is terrified of this guy. If Stern would just put his efforts into busting real stories like on NBC's Meet the Press, he would be the best journalist in America because he is fair and can get to the matter while dominating whoever he talks to.

He though would have to flip somebody the bird or ask about sex as he uses it as his crutch.

He is though brilliant when he does his work. I remember before he was huge huge, he used to have a tv program and yes he was disgusting in the stuff he pulled, but he was also able to hit any subject and reveal how bogus it was.

If someone like FOX could ever get him to just do it without the base stuff, he would be a terror on all these patricians ruining America.

This will get lost, so I won't spend much time with this.

But an AP-Yahoo survey of voters has been used to tease the notion that Obama may lose 6% of voters because he is "black"--he's actually mixed-race--and 1/3 of white Democrats have "deep-seated" racial antagonisms. A more recent Gallup poll found that 6% of voters were less likely to vote for Obama because he was black, a poll result chewed on Sunday by a CNN panel that included Gloria Borger, Candy Crowley, and one other. However, the Gallup poll found 9% of voters were more likely to vote for Obama because he was "black." The CNN crew ignored that finding.

The AP poll included adjectives like irresponsible and violent to deduce racial misgivings. Would one apply those terms to Obama? Don't think so. Further, the survey included a question and answers that two AP propagandists, er, writers, ignored. To the question of how the fact that Obama would be the nation's first black president, 6% of the total of respondents said that that made them more likely to vote for him, 6% said, less likely, and 82% didn't care. So the biases offset neatly. The survey's methodology was touted to reduce, if not eliminate, "Bradley effect" responses--and other responses tended to support the notion that respondents were being honest, e.g., in evaluations of people of whom they knew little.

I did not hear Meet the Press Sunday, but I've heard that Ted Koppel cited that 6% figure of less likely to vote for Obama. But again, that ignores the other side, the many young people and some older ones, who think they are declaring themselves as tolerant and above racial considerations, and doing the right thing by the nation in voting for someone because he is black. (And the apparent effort to increase the number of people to vote for Obama because of white guilt and dismay over others' claimed bias against him.)

As for the many black people for whom no other factor really matters, at least, in this election, their reaction is understandable. I recall how many Catholics felt in 1960. I was a Catholic and Kennedy voter, but I had other reasons to vote for him; in retrospect, I bought the news propaganda of the time. But that's another matter.

You have to pass a test and get a license to drive.  You have to take lessons and get a license to own a gun.  It seems that any idiot can decide the fate of this nation based on a person's skin color.

Listening to that clip on Stern's show reminded me of a Metallica song, "Sad But True".

That Presidents and Vice-Presidents should be picked by electors who are chosen by the State Legislators, not by direct popular vote.

You want change? Give me a dollar.

I was thinking the same thing.

I also know way to many people that when asked why they support candidate X, spit out everything they heard from the boob tube.

You trying to say Jesus Christ can't hit a curveball?

You cannot put a price on ignorance. 

If conservatives are RIGHT, then liberals must be WRONG.

This was brilliant!!

Oh wow. Mindblowing really.

Good job there isn't an IQ test to vote, because that would cut the voters list somewhat.

That sounded like Curtis Slewar asking the questions. 

Vote 4 change. Vote 4 anything. See Jack & Mr Shy's first campaign ad for the ONLY viable 3rd party candidate.

I would add to this that stupid Democrats are willfully stupid in the face of all evidence to the contrary, whereas stupid Republicans are merely gullible, because of their mistaken assumption that the Democrats are acting in good faith.

With all the Christian talk of forgiveness, turning the other cheek, and loving your enemies, the Bible also says:

"Then said he to them, But now, he that has a purse, let him take it,
and likewise his money: and he that has no sword, let him sell his
garment, and buy one." -- Luke 22:36 KJV

If you can't recognize your enemies, you are in real trouble.

As a half Hispanic, half Hawaiian Conservative, I really do not understand the white guilt that exist in the country. I think there are two different explanations for this problem. The first, from the rank and file who do not pay attention most of the time, it's just quilt, nothing more. The second, from City Hall to Congress it's much more incedious. They want to keep minorities, black and hispanics inparticular in their place by buying our votes. What's worse is that we fall for it over and over again. What would happen if we realized that we did not need their help? They would total loose their power. Minorities need to wake up an realize that Government is not going to help them, redistribution of wealth is just another way of controlling our lives. All Obama is doing is reintroducing welfare and claiming it's a tax cut. Come on people, WAKE UP!
