West Virginia Primary: Good Morning America Meets An Uninformed Voter

Good Morning America, on the scene in West Virginia, introduced their viewers to Janis. She's not a particularly enthusiastic Hillary Clinton supporter, but for her, Hillary has got one thing on Barack Obama: she's not a Muslim. Of course, neither is Obama.

[WATCH.]

KATE SNOW: Janis said she can't support Obama.

JANIS: He's Muslim and that has a lot to do with it. I just, you know, I just would rather have Hillary.

SNOW: Just for the record he constantly says he's a Christian -

JANIS: I know he does.

SNOW: You don't believe him?

JANIS: No.

Now, it's hardly newsworthy to learn that stupid people exist and they do, in fact, vote. I mean, we have this whole thing called "the Bush Administration" that more or less proves that. But it's a little astounding to hear Kate Snow, who, as a reporter, is ostensibly charged with informing the public, offer up the mealy mouthed, "Just for the record, he constantly says he's a Christian..." As Snow well knows, there's a reason that Obama constantly says he's a Christian: it is because he is a Christian. The correct response would have been, "I'm sorry, but you are mistaken." Or, failing that, at least show us a voter capable of making a passionate and authoritative case for Clinton.

WHY IS HILLARY CLINTON SUPPORTERS OKAY WITH BEING CALLED UNEDUCATED AND LOW CLASS I MEAN JEEZ THINK MUCH MORE OF URSELVES

[Jasel]

Basically because they ARE uneducated and low class. I mean seriously how can a woman who can't even pump her own gas convince a group of individuals that her oppoenent who used to be on food stamps is elitist unless she's dealing with the bottom of the barrel when it comes to the brains department?

[Bluejay00234]

Because they are "working class white voters" of course!

[mommamia526]

Jasel. You impress me with your educated and high class post here. I too, think that being on foodstamps is a qualifier for thePresidency. ;). And, obviously, you are in the top 5%, intellectually and educationwise. No doubt about that. Just look at that delicate prose .

[mommamia526]

Exactly,chrissy22. One only has to read your intelligent post to know that we, too, should join the fray, an start throwing mud and labels. After all,that really indicates education, intlligence and culture. Now go wash your mouth out with soap.

WEST VIRGINIA = PINHEADS

I've watched Hillary Clinton throughout her campaign and what bothers me about her is her total lack of respect and complete snobbery towards Senator Obama. She feels such a sense of entitlement, as if saying all the people who have voted for Senator Obama are wrong. She's made so many comments to knee cap him.
Her campaign has spread mis-information about Senator Obama.
These tactics have worked on certain people who don't bother to read and generally mistrust anyone who's different from them.
So Senator Obama has to work harder to gain their trust.

[EspritDeVoltaire]

Her whole attitude of entitlement is really troubling to me. She reminds me a great deal of Bush in her better than thou posturing. It's doubly reminiscent of him since she definitely takes the low road.

[unity08]

No to mention the fact that she has dissed all the voters. We are not the important ones. Only in certain states are the votes important; states like WV, Penn, and of course MI and FL.

The goal posts keep moving, the rules keep changing, the metrics dont matter , and only the hard working white votes count.

[Bluejay00234]

Lets not forget the "your either with us or against us" nonsense, smells like Bush to me.

[meltingpot101]

Democrat Travis Childers wins Mississppi, despite GOP catering to people like Janis here.

A new day is coming


McCain better try to change his party affiliation

[WadeNYC]

Hillary, you can have West Virginia.

[JackNasty]

Is it true that Hillary told West Virginia voters that when she was a little girl, her family took her to West Virginia every week for banjo lessons?

[Bluejay00234]

According to this woman she has lived, worked, grew up, and went to school in every state, hell didn't she attend preschool in Guam?

[jeplanet]

Grades 1 thru 3; then she transfered to Puerto-Rico middle school.

[itmaybetoolate]

Scary! Forget the Voter ID law. Let's require folks to pass a simple test of critical thinking before they can vote.

[ScandalousCandice]

Oh God Keith Olbermann just said 7% of the vote in WVA went to Edwards. This is just getting more hilarious by the minute.

[Freedomscap]

I know -- I'm beginning to think something is wrong with us Democrats. The pundits said it is clear from Hillary's speech that she is going all the way to the convention. Yet, when there is a fight on the floor of the convention, with the Democrats, they haven't won, since 1932 or some other far off year.

That is actually sad and tragic and if the Republicans win in November, I'm moving to the South of France.

[Bluejay00234]

It's quite sad, it has become more and more clearly that Hillary doesn't care about becoming president but more about beating Obama. I told a male friend of mines tonight that it seems as if Hillary plans on going to the convention, he replied, "just like a women; they never know when to quit, which is why a the very thought of an emotion woman in office makes me sick" I myself being a woman could barely objects, because I've become so sick with the entire process, the fact that anyone male or female would proceed to destroy our party, is not only tactless and tasteless but down right pathetic and makes me despise being apart of this party.

[mlaiuppa]

I guess he was the only WHITE MAN on the ballot. So....why do we care who West Virginia votes for?

[dadele]

It's this level of professionalism that makes me proud to have blocked ABC for my family.

[brooklyncitizen]

Too funny and tragic...clearly in her "mind" all the hoopla over Obama's REVEREND WRIGHT was a cover for the fact that he is actually a MUSLIM. How stupid and predictable...and confirms you have to be stupid to vote for Hillary.

[AllenD]

Hill-Bill has the inbred hillbilly trailer trash vote locked up!

[jeplanet]

Hill-Billy

[jeplanet]

It just goes to show that once someone has a stupid idea in her mind, nothing will make them come to their senses; especially if they have a grade 9 education.
But mostly, I blame it on age. These old, uneducated people are relly going to mess things up for everybody.

[debrouillard]

Everyone on here is criticizing this poor ignorant woman,probably with no job,education,etc.But the supposedly journalist,supposedly educated,supposedly responsible with informing the public couldnt care less to inform her. and yet ppl seem find with it? It the journalist responsibility to inform that woman on the spot,thats why she get paid. unless she is nothing but a mic parader not knowing what her job description and responsibilities are. If I were her boss,i will have to revise her personal file,i now very much doubt she is qualified for that position.
But mind you,the media in America is pretty much like that,i mean if FOX can secure a news media license,then u know something isnt right. Send them all on refresher courses in England,France and the rest of Europe.They will learn what real journalism is all about.

[mommamia526]

Debrouillard. Obama Intelligentsia complaining about everyone on this thread *criticizing this poor ignorant woman*. And that reporter. Yep, she ought to know what her responsibilities are. Michelle has said, we are only going to do his one time, and we are going to win. This is the first time I am proud of America. Now, we all have to listen to Michelle and obey, after all this was a democracy, but we are going to have some changes here. Out with this nonsense of one man one vote. The Obama movement has declared who is going to win and everyone better get on te bandwagon. If not, we are going to be labeled as *stupid, ignorant, inbred, uneducated*, whatever. Now, Debrouillard, tell me wha to do. I was raised and educated both in Europe and in the U.S.,degreed on two continents and I speak more than four languages. Please, tell me which refresher course to take abroad. Oh, that is right, I am not a reporter, does it still apply to me? As a Clnton suporter should I do what someone told me yesterday on this website and just MOVE OVER? Is it me, or are Obamabots sore losers?

[kathyhussien]

It's funny every one is talking about whether or not Obama is/was a Muslim. But nobody is talking about the religious group "The Family" that Hillary belongs to. Google it, it's weird. It's not that they think he's a Muslim, it's because he Black. Now that being said Obama supporter need to get as many people out as they can to vote in Nov., the only way to keep the Repub from stealing another elections is to have a huge turnout. As far as requiring people to take a test to vote, been there done that can't go back but, we have states passing laws requiring birth cerificates to vote, or government ID. Why not brand us all with a number on our wrist so they know we were born here, oops, can't do that McCain wouldn't be allowed to vote would he?

[ScandalousCandice]

Of course not honey she is white. This country doesn't attack white politicians the same way. Just look at Hagee and Mccain.

[Freedomscap]

I think she was speaking so deliberately and slowing so that her audience could understand her.

[EspritDeVoltaire]

Hillary has certainly proved me wrong about one thing. I previously believed that I would never hate any other politician as much as I did George Bush.

[PAposter]

i wanna know who that one Black guy is they got to sit behind the podium, and how much they paid him to sit there, LOL

[MrKINOKO]

That would be Uncle Tom...there's one at every Clinton rally. Every bag of coins has at least one token

[PAposter]

Careful, MrKINOKO!

[pupbayer]

Actually, there were TWO. Unless you don't count the lighter skinned one.

[Freedomscap]

Now we all just heard the best speech of all time -- weren't we all just moved to tears? So deep, so thought - provoking and insightful.

[PAposter]

So rehearsed, and disingenuous, oh Hillary, you're such a fighter, no, you're a prize fighter.
