Paul Ryan Tells Poor People to Blame President Obama

In an interview with NBC News, Rep. Paul Ryan claimed that Obama’s policies are the reason why people in poverty are poor. Ryan tried to convince the poor to blame Obama, not Republicans for their struggles.

It's a shame that millions of poor Foxaganda viewers who listen to Ryan's message will mindlessly believe every word that he says and take the side of the Top .1% barons instead of standing with or behind middle class Americans. I hate to say it, but the brainwashing propaganda rhetoric used on Faux is highly successful in turning poor, uneducated, red-necked Southern Americans into cheerleaders for the Top .1%.

REASON FOR ALERT:

This post is disruptive, hurtful, rude, insensitive, over-the-top, or otherwise inappropriate. (See <a href="http://www.democraticunderground.com/?com=aboutus#communitystandards" target="_blank">Community Standards</a>.)

ALERTER'S COMMENTS:

While the South certainly has its share of racist people, it does not corner the market on racism or Fox viewing. This type of stereotyping of Southerners as racist, uneducated, backwards knuckledraggers only perpetuates a negative attitude toward those from the South who are true democrats! Region bashing makes DU suck!

You served on a randomly-selected Jury of DU members which reviewed this post. The review was completed at Wed Aug 21, 2013, 03:44 PM, and the Jury voted 0-6 to LEAVE IT.

Juror #1 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE and said: No explanation given
Juror #2 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE and said:

The south may not be the only place where racism and idiocy are, but it certainly is the dominant mindset down there. I know what the poster meant and I suspect you do too.

It's an ugly truth.

Leave it.


Juror #3 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE and said: No explanation given
Juror #4 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE and said: No explanation given
Juror #5 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE and said: No explanation given
Juror #6 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE and said: A little bit of region-bashing is present, but I don't think that it is over the top. This is the first post by this person so I'm willing to give it some leeway rather than discourage a new user from participating in the discussion.
