Kool Aid and Jesus Juice

I never tire of Sarah Palin. She is a certified wacko with certified wacko supporters. Does she hurt American society by existing? Yes. But it's really entertaining to watch her and her supporters be nutjobs.

I love this video, where a reporter interviews Sarah Palin supporters at a book signing for her new "book", Going Rogue. After watching these interviews, it's pretty clear that the majority of Sarah Palin supporters are only supporting her because they've drunk the Kool-Aid (and the Jesus Juice, of course). They continuously spout out falsities that they've been conditioned to believe by watching too much Fox News.

Here's how I see it. It's not their fault that most of these people feel this way. They're essentially victims of fear and propaganda... and extreme Christianity. It's too easy to blame them. After the laughter subsided, I really just started to feel sorry for them.

Some of my favorite moments:

At 4:10:
Reporter: "Do you think Sarah will win if she throws her hat into the ring?"
Man: "Uh, well, he (Obama) is naturalizing a lot of the illegal aliens - he's in the process of doing it - they're saying she's not gonna have the votes when you throw those numbers in."
Reporter: "There won't be enough white votes on one side to get a candidate through?"
Man: "No way."

At 4:36:
SP Lookalike: "We do need to have profiling. The politically correctness has gotta get out now. I mean, we're Americans and she sticks up for the American people, not for other people. We're first, other people the last."

At 5:24:
Weird Lady: "Drill, baby, drill!" (Laughs)
Reporter: "Of course a lot of people are saying we don't have enough oil."
Weird Lady: "Well, look at it like this. Suppose that we do drill, and not just for oil but for gas, and for, for... well, while we're talking about that, some of these special interest groups like PETA and that, that try to endangered species with polar bears and other animals. We need to get the polar bears off the endangered list so we can drill there."
