Regarding the "real" America

This video is great. It's an interview with the Mayor of Wasilla, AK from The Daily Show with Jon Stewart, along with some other stuff about Wasilla spliced in with Palin's speaches.

So, apparently, senior McCain campaign adviser Nancy Pfotenhauer has gotten some flack recently because she said that people who live in Virginia but don't support McCain are not part of "real Virginia."



And then there's Palin always going on about "real America," which doesn't include liberals, environmentalists, or people who exercise abstract thinking skills. And then there's Congresswoman Michelle Bachmann on Hardball, below. Because this clip is rather painful to watch, I'll sum it up for you. Chris Matthews asks her many times, loudly and seemingly to her confusion and/or discomfort, if she thinks all liberals are anti-American. Eventually, she says yes, she thinks there should be a media expose about anti-Americanism in Congress.



We see this and Michael says, "McCarthyism wasn't that long ago. People were alive. People remember it. How the *expletive deleted* could this be happening again?"

Maybe there wasn't an expletive in his quote. Maybe that's all me. But I think it's a valid question either way. WTF, yo?

But less seriously, a community organizer with responsibilities, eh? Yeah, that's what I thought. Score one for the community organizers. Boo-yah.
